Hi, Applied for a Graduate visa for myself and processing for dependents (partner and children). I have few questions and some information to share about the same below. 1. The main applicants application is made and evidence required (dental treatment invoice) uploaded, the dependents (2 × children...

Hi all, I have family member who has completed their MSc in sonography in Sept 2023 and looking for a job currently. They have currently got spouse and 2 children as dependents on the student visa. Now with IHS fee increasing within 2 weeks, they are looking to apply for that visa by 15 Jan - their ...

Thanks,
Your prompt responses are highly appreciated

Alright, that is confusing as there is another question on the checklist to provide current BRP - which is BRP with ILR when you apply for naturalisation. I think they can do a better job at pooling the related information together from the same source of evidence. Thanks anyway, I will upload the d...

Sorry just realised another question from the document checklist.
What does it mean by, "Proof of freedom from immigration time restriction"? is this not same as proof of living in UK?
If not what evidence do I need to provide for this?

Thanks for your prompt reply CR001 and apologies for posting on other thread. To be honest, I struggle to navigate through this website and I am unsure on how can I find my previous post or even change my passpord to something I can remember after I got a long password after retriving through forgot...

Hi, As proof of living in UK for 5 years, what supporting documents are required? I have ofcourse scanned all pages of passport which has entry exit stamps and completed my absence details on the form. In addition, I am planning to attach p60 for 5 years. Is that sufficient or do I need to give the ...

Thank you for the prompt reply CR001. Since I am not time bound on ILR, do you think it is best to apply online anyway and pay the fees now? Will my application make any progress until i provide biometric? I was wondering that if I make application now and if this situation drags on for a long time,...

Hi, I am looking to apply for citizenship (naturalisation) for 1 year completion on ILR but i understand the visa application centres are closed due to covid19 situation. I also understand that postal application is not possible for this visa category (5 years on Tier-1 dependent + 1 yr on ILR). I j...

I have few questions about making citizenship application using AN form. 1. My ILR was issued on 24 Apr 2019, so can I apply within 11 months or I have to wait until 24 Apr 2020 to complete the 12 months? 2. How critical is the information regarding previous HO applications, do I need to list all ap...

There were couple of guys who posted recently that they recieved their visa using std service in about 7 weeks. I think new online system via UKVCAS are quicker.

He applied on 29 Jan and got visa on 29 Mar and BRP on 01 Apr.

See phanidhar6039 on page 26 of timelines chat.

Alright thanks.
I will update when I get appointment and what I submitted when I have done.

Any idea on when new appointment slots become available? I was looking to book the appointment ASAP so that we can travel around to US in summer. Another question: since they return the originals back, do they also return BRP? If so then can we continue to travel while the decision is pending with U...

I think document checking service is different to returning the originals back. When I tried to book appointment at core centre for non core hours (only those are available) it ask me for additional £35 to include document checking service. I am assuming in the core service they only verify the copi...

I tried to book an appointment at enhanced centre (checked 6 centres nearby) but nothing is available in next 2 weeks at any centre. Does anyone know when / what time new appointment slots are available? is it every morning or every week or 12 midnight? I have submitted the application online but su...

[quote=tier11417 post_id=1760744 time=1553638329 user_id=179089] You need cohabitation documents to prove you have been in a subsisting relationship. A couple documents have to be in joint names. Others can be in your wife’s name and your name separately. 6 documents for every 3/4 months covering 2 ...

Thanks Tier 11417, I am not sure where did you find the information about providing evidence for cohabitation for 2 years? I read the document using the link and it just ask to ensure we are in genuine and subsisting relation and intend to live together permanently. I am not sure how that can be pro...

My wife is currently on PBS Tier1 Dependant, hence using SET O form. I was on PBS tier 1 general visa when she arrived here first

Whenever I get information from the call centre, I always verify it by calling them 2-3 times to ensure I get same response from all of them. Unfortunately this is expensive mistake but hopefully they should provide you with couple of weeks to sort out your test - which could be challenge in itself....

Hello, I need to apply for ILR using SET (O) form online for my wife as she has completed 5 years as dependant - i am British already. Previously, paper forms used to have a guidance notes explaining what documentation is required but for some strange reason, there is no guidance on documents requir...

Hi All, Firstly congrats to those you got their ILR and apologies if I posted under wrong topic. I have couple of questions with regards to my ILR application due in July 2014 on basis of 5 years on Tier-1 General visa. 1. Do I need to submit documents to prove how did I get my initial Tier-1 Genera...

Can someone please respond to my query? I would highly appreciate your advice. [quote="spybadshah"]Hi Amber, I just became aware that 180 days absence within 5 year period has now been changed and 180 days in 12 months. It is great news but I am concerned with the evidence I need to provide for abse...
