Hi, My wife is applying for Naturalisation and as proof of "Proof of living in the UK" -covering the past 3 years- we're providing her expired and current passports. These have been stamped in the UK on each entry, however there's no exit stamps, only entry stamps in Egypt, which are in Arabic. - Do...

Thanks dada,

We booked the appointment on the 31st of march.

When we started looking for appointments we were getting the same message. After a few days there were plenty of appointments, the closest was about 1 month from the day we were looking.

Sure. I'm sure some of the documents I've submitted were not required, but to be on the safe side I might've over done the docs: . Passports of applicant and sponsor. . Biometric residency card. . Photographs, 2 for applicant 1 for sponsor. - Proof of finance: . Latest 6 Sponsor's bank statements, p...

Hello, My wife was granted ILR today at croydon premium service center, and I thought I'd share our experience as might be useful to others: .Our appointment was at 12:20, we arrived around 12:00. .We parked just opposite the center at the NPC car park. There's a round about 200 meters after the cen...

Thanks for pointing that paragraph out, I must've missed it. I've been with same employer for over 12 months and my salary before and after the pay rise exceeds the requirements. So, as I'll be relying on 4 months of old salary and 2 months of new salary, I think I'll apply under category A and use ...

Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm the sponsor for my wife's set (m) application.

I was promoted with a new title and a pay rise last month, however my previous salary was enough to pass the financial requirements.

Do I apply under category B in this case? Or A with previous details.

Thanks,
Sherif

Just received a letter today (7 weeks since applying) requesting additional documents, they state in the letter that the new expected decision date is on the 25th of January 2016, another whole 8 weeks! From reading other posts, it seems applicants get their docs/visas quickly after submitting the a...

Thanks for sharing. I called the helpline again yesterday as the 15 day deadline is about to run out, the person I spoke to was really helpful and after putting me on hold to check with someone else she adviced us (as the name is missing one of my wife's middle names, and there's no spelling mistake...

Hey null1639, did it turn out to be a problem.. I'm missing a middle name and have not received a reply or new letter from them.

We received a letter from the Home Office requesting the original certificate, with a 10 day deadline. We sent that through.

Just thought I'd share the full experience.

Hi Marianna.. We're in the same situation, the helpline told us there's nothing to do, just wait as well..

Did you get a reply?

Thanks

I contacted the ukba by phone, they advices to send the photocopy with a cover letter explaining the situation. As they already checked the certificate while applying for the current visa they might be ok with the copy.

Hi, My wife and I are preparing to submit her FLR(M) to extend her visa for another 2.5 years. However, we seem to have left our marriage certificate (in Arabic + the translation) in Egypt while on holiday there. We do have a photo copy at the moment of both (cert + translation) and can get the orig...

Thanks laith2012.. do you think the "Degree taught in English" is not a safe bet? I can't find much info about it on here, most applicants seem to go for the test.

does any one know what the "Original academic reference" means in Arabic, I'm not sure what we should be asking for at the university where my wife got her degree. Also, her degree was taught in English, but neither the transcript or the certificate state so.. should they? The English test results t...
