Hi CR001 Reading some past posts, I came across the below that suggest that given the short duration to fully qualifying, might be worth exploring the postal route. Conscious this post is roughly 3-4 years old. What do you think? https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/10-years-...

Ohh no!! Would there be any use hiring a solicitor for this?

For PBS extension, Is it VAF10?

The second visa was an extension stamped in the UK

So would the case worker reject an application for this shortage or have there been instances in your experience where people have got through? If not, what are our options?

Thanks, although as I mentioned above, her present visa in her 2+3 PBS journey expires on 29.9.17!

First visa stamped for 1.11.12 - 17.9.14

Second visa stamped for 29.9.14 - 29.9.17

Is there going to be a problem or am I overthinking it now?

entered 18.11.12

Her initial PBS Dependant visa was stamped from 01.11.12

Re: funds, yes I have asked in a number of previous posts but if you notice further, no one has replied to them

Would you be able to kindly?

Hello moderators My wife's PBS Dependant to ILR application is around the corner. Her present visa expires on 29.9.17. How soon can I request a premium appointment? Do I have to wait till the above date or can I apply earlier? Also, is there a need to have a minimum balance in your 3 month bank stat...

Thanks again. So evidence of finance would suffice but to clarify, no need for minimum account balance

@zimba88, many thanks. Is there a requirement for a minimum account balance within the bank statements?

I assume the form is Set O and there is no need for paying the health surcharge?

Hello moderators Could you kindly assist with my query? I currently hold BC via the Tier 1 General route. My wife will complete her 5 year term under Tier 1 PBS dependant visa by end of Sept 2017. Given my current nationality status, is the next step for her ILR or can she directly go for BC? If its...

To further enquire on this topic, is there a need to supply bank statements and corresponding payslips as its a straight forward 5 year route ILR?

Thanks all

Hello moderators I currently hold BC having previously been on ILR via the Tier 1 route. My wife has been on my dependant visa since Sept 2012. Believe she will be eligible for ILR via the 5 year route in Sept of this year. As such, should she apply for ILR as a spouse of a british citizen or the no...

I have just received my ceremony letter which takes place in 2 weeks time. Have been extended an offer to work in India, on acceptance of which I will have a month to take up the post What are my options - Should I apply for BC in India and surrender Indian passport and apply OCI there as well? - Sh...

Re: P60s, Similar to your situation, I was able to provide all of mine win the qualifying period. However, as I was also able to provide my 5year route via visa stamps, they said the P60s could be optional. not sure if this is different for Tier 2 and Tier 1 routes although through my experience the...

Having received a number of useful tips via this forum for various UKBA applications, I just thought I'll share my experience this morning having submitted my citizenship application via NCS Key points to highlight - 5 year qualifying period is counted from today's date. Not from the date of your fi...

I did think exactly the same but then wouldn't I have to hand in my passport as part of the naturalisation process?

I am in a real catch 22 here. Have a dream job in front yet have the one last hurdle to end my journey with UKBA. So, is the next step then using form AN and making an application, on receipt of which apply for passport and then cermony? How long does this process take end to end. Is it possible to ...

Thanks everyone for the prompt responses. Really appreciate it

I find it strange that UKBA would not even consider if an applicant is working for the same organisation but in a different country

Wouldnt a letter from my UK office suffice as enough proof for them?

Hi moderators I am due for BC in July 2015 (next month). An opportunity has arisen for me to be working from our company's office in another country. As I have to make a quick decision on whether to go ahead or not, could you kindly advice me based on the present rules - Will I loose the right to ap...

Hi Long residence..I stumbled across your post as I am currently in the same situation you were a year ago. My baby daughter holds British passport while I'm holding ILR and an Indian citizen. Could you advise if you were successful in applying5 year visit for your baby then..what the procedure and ...

Thanks Amber

Hi Amber

Post my ILR, I made an application for CB with an expectation that it would be backtracked for the whole 3 months.

However, tax office has only accepted to pay out for 4 weeks as they claim it's based on when I received my ILR. Is this ruling correct as I assumed otherwise?

I know the form says they shouldn't be but after a bit of a struggle, I have found two referees (one professional) although they are husband / wife Would it be an issue for a 4 month old baby's BC registration application?

Thanks Amber - appreciate all your guidance and support to date
