Not sure if NHS surcharge refund is actually given but if it is, do update the thread. If you are granted 3-year visa by paying £xxx.xxx and you only use 8 months on that 3-year visa before switching employment, in that case even visa fees is not partially refunded just because you had 2.4 yrs left ...
- Passport required for child
- Usually passport issued in 3-7 working days.
- UK visa required for child for re-entry to U.K. if plans to come back otherwise not required.
Hello, Apologies in advance if similar query posted elsewhere on forum & already answered. I've applied for British passport recently but have travel commitment to go to Ireland soon. Since it wasn't very likely to get the new British passport along with non-British passport and original Naturalizat...
Dear forum members, My ILR was approved on 25/02/2015 via premium appointment. When is the earliest I can apply to register as British Citizen? Will it be on or after 25/02/2016 or is there a 28 day rule similar to ILR wherein I can apply to register 28 days prior. Pls confirm. Thank you. Sorry if s...
Application Sent: 02/04/2015 (Just before Easter hols & fee hike) ILR approved: 26/05/2015 Original Docs returned: 28/05/2015 (Passport was returned earlier due to change in process) BRP received: 28/05/2015 (Surprised to receive BRP card same day) Overall this was very quick considering the fact th...
It is your choice but there is no need to return it to HO. Most people keep it as a reminder of the journey they have been on. Also, if BC passport is lost/stolen, then at least if urgent travel is required, you have the BRP if it is an ILR one. That's good then, one less thing to worry. I'd though...
Thanks so much. @CR001 - I think while applying for the passport for kid, I did read some note advising to fold the Certificate of Registration only once. Regarding kid's BRP card, I'll either send it to Home Office by post by recorded delivery & covering letter or next time I travel abroad, I'll re...

Thanks Casa & WR1. If we have to send a postal application for ILR, can we pay the fees using credit card or does it have to be cheque or postal order only for postal applications? Are card payments only accepted for premium appointments? Just double checking as on the form it says (for postal appli...
Dear forum members, Situation is I've got my ILR sorted last month. We have applied to register our 2 year old kid born in the UK as a British citizen through NCS under Section 1 (3) in MN1. My partner has lived in the UK as a PBS Dependant for 5 years (we arrived in the UK together) & still has a P...

Should be okay . Isn't she eligible for SET(O) now? Thank you. Yes she's eligible for SET(O). We'd been waiting for getting my ILR approved first. Didn't want to risk money. She will now start preparing for LIUK test & plans to apply for ILR dependent in near future. Just wanted to confirm if we ha...

She's been a PBS Dependent all these years. Her current leave to remain as PBS dependent is valid until 01/2018. I'm assuming my current emplo...

Will post more updates with details in the ILR thread later once I receive the BRP. Thanks a ton Manci & everyone for patiently addressing all th...
It is not compulsory to submit 5 years P60s when you go for ILR. You may be paid at least 3 years NI & Tax here in UK. So, they might be checked your contribution in your last visa extension. Most of them did not submit their p60s for ILR (they kept it in hand).But, it should be OK with current pay...
You can ask for your last 5 years employment history letter from HMRC . http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/industrial-compensation/ This is for industrial compensation only. We need to call separate phone no or email them to get the employment history. I lost critical 2 weeks time by filling this form. Getting...
