Have you tried logging a complaint? I know it's not really a complaint per se but the planned departure date of your mother isn't far now so maybe you can escalate it via complaints as a matter of urgency as you've not been contacted since they were made aware of the mistake. Thanks for your respon...

Thanks Vinny. I will go through the documents in details.

Hi,

We've got ILR this week. I have 2 questions:
1. Since we now have ILR Can we bring parents as dependants?
2. If yes, can we register them with NHS as dependants?

Appreciate if anyone could point me to some information. Thanks in advance.

ILR or British Citizenship?

Just want to get some inputs.

Hi, I have been following the forum since long and need urgent help from senior members. Me and my husband applied for our ILR on 13 January through a solicitor. The only reason for applying it through a solicitor was that my husband had a unspent driving conviction. He had a driving offence in 200...

Congratulations Chikky, I booked my appointment for ILR at Glasgow PEO on 23/02/2012. I'm currently on WP old style on same eamployer from the past five years and have got my documentation ready. I have a quick query. At the time I was granted my WP my role is graduate engineer and I'm still same. ...

Any idea of what happens to those who apply for ILR before UKBA starts issuing BRP cards for ILR?

Like in our case today we got our ILR and it is stamped on the passport.

Btw any advantages of having BRP card over a stamp? If yes then can we apply for BRP separately ?

Hi all basic question may be i am worrying too much but all who applied on old WP did you strikeout not applicable sections or just leave it blank. Example section 9 is for Tier 1.

Hi, I have a question on the Employers Letter, I am on a Tier 1 visa at the moment and currently working on a contract in a company since Oct end. So, my question is do I need to also have an Employment Letter and if yes, should it from my Umbrella Company or it has to be from the agency through wh...

@Chikky thank you for responding to the post. If that is the official case/stance then this shall be then stated in the official UKBA guidance. My point is that providing the full 4/5 years P60 may be helpful as just additional documents but they are not complusory. If someone has been employed by ...
