Great thanks!

Hi all, Do I have to stay in the UK for a certain amount of days after having submitted application through NCS? I have an appointment with NCS in the morning on the 15th and leave the UK for a month in the afternoon on the same day. My total absence in the last year is 99 days not including the ...

Hello everyone,

Could a person with dual nationality (British and Malaysian for example) apply for ILR? Assume he is not willing to have a British passport, and the Malaysian passport is his only travel document so he needs a visa to prove his residence rights in the UK to foreign and UK authorities.

Hi guys, I received my ILR based on long residence. My wife has been my dependent for 2 years and has switched to FLR(M) recently. I understand she is now allowed to apply for ILR with SET(M). I have two children who were both born in the UK. They are my T1 dependents. They are not applying for ...

They were born in the UK. I plan they apply for ILR for now, because my country doesn't allow dual natiionality.

Received my wife's brp today. Can I include my children on her SET(m)? They have been my T1 dependent for 2 years. I received my ILR based on 10 year.

Any advice will be appreciated.

You should have the BRP when applying for settlement. Thank you for your reply. Hope the brp will arrive soon. My wife still haven't received the brp after two weeks. What should I do? I've emailed BRPDelivery@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk but the answer is only standard. Phoned DX but no package. I am ...

BRP should only take 10 working days. Thank you Amber. You are right. A lot of people receive theirs within a week, but my wife's has taken more than a week now. I read in other threads some brp cards were delivered after a month. We are a bit paronoid and wondering if the card does not arrive ...

My wife switched to FLR(m) at PEO Glasgow last week. She got the approval letter, but haven't received her BRP card yet. She has already spent two years as T1 dependent. Is it possible for her to make a PEO appointment for SET(m) without the new BRP card. She does have the approval letter. We are ...

Thank you so much, Amber. Information in the link is very helpful.

I am not sure if Annex FM will apply to her? I understand Leave to Remain applied before July 2012 will be fine, but she applied for leave to enter. Do we need to meet the £18600 requirement?

Amber_ wrote:Correct.

Thank you Amber. I really appreciate your advice.

Hi guys, I received my ILR based on long residence in 12/2013. My wife came to the UK as T1 spouse on 31/01/2012. I booked PEO for FLR(m) on 10/01/2014. But I became a bit panic because her current visa is spouse leave to enter, is FLR(m) still the right form for her? If her switch is successful ...

My Mum is visiting me on a family visitor visa. She is thinking to buy a residential property in the UK. I am wondering if that will breach condition of her visa? Could she buy some shares of a small private company? She will be a pure shareholder and will not participate in running the business ...

Hello dear fellows, I applied for ILR (10 yr based) in 15th July. Biometrics done 14th August. My wife and my son applied in September 7th. (biometrics taken 1st October) Yesterday 17th October I received a letter from HO. They are requesting ORIGINAL documents again. Its says I should provide 1 ...

If the whole £200k has not been available to me for the whole period of my visa, would that be a violation of immigration law?

Taking into account the rules were inserted in January 2013, it will be very difficult for existing visa holders to even notice them.

Thank you guys.

I am sure if 245HD(e) has been added to the immigration rules, there must be a way for UKBA to find out what they may need to find out at any stage of the applicant's stay in the UK. Clause 30 of the policy guidance does seem to suggest so. Anyway, every applicant signs "consent to verification ...

Thank you guys for your comments! Just want to confirm the new rule does apply to my visa even if it was issued in 2012? It seems extremely unfair because there wasn't such a rule when my visa was issued. I would have never known the new rule if I didn't look at UKBA's website by chance more than a ...

Hi guys I've been a silent reader most of time and I am very grateful for the valuable information on this forum. I just realized this new rule (keep £200k in bank account until spent) was inserted into the rules January 2013. I copied the relevant rules below for your reference. My scenario is I ...
