Hi guys, It's been a while since I last posted. Just to let you know my wife received her ILR yesterday. We submitted via a lawyer as our case was complicated. I work overseas and my wife resides in the UK. So there was a bit of nervousness on our part. Nevertheless we managed to get the BRP. I will...

It shouldn't provided you have evidence of a subsisting relationship. Hi Amber thanks for your re-assuring words. However, i understand that the sponsor (i.e. British National, me in this case) should be present in the UK. That is where my concern/nervousness lies. Would this be considered a straig...

Hi Guys, Some advice please.... My wife was granted a Spouse Visa and came to UK on Feb 2012. In November 2012 I was offered an overseas job, which I took up. I had a vacation back to the UK in March 2013 when our daughter was born. Thereafter my wife and daughter spent a month with me overseas. Sub...

Hey guys, Its been a while since I posted. Hope you are all well and hear the news you have been longing for asap. I need some advice please. Background: A relative of ours (female and British, by birth) was married in Pakistan, 2007. Her hubby is also Pakistani but living and working in GCC (UAE). ...

Your wife won't be able to apply for ILR if you aren't both resident in the UK. Casa - thanks for your reply. I had a suspicion that would be the case. Although in a way, it is somewhat disappointing and career limiting. I assume that once the ILR is granted and naturalisation occurs, from that poi...

Hi to all, I need some advice with respect to ILR. My wife came to the UK in Feb 12 on Spouse Visa. I am presently working in the UK although I have a possible job offer overseas.

AoA to all, Hope you are all fine and well. For all those who keep on asking the same question after every five minutes. Please see the UKBA decision timescales for Feb 2012.
