Astonished, Thanks a lot for your response. Yes I have been advised by senior members that UKVI sends a second letter with a 10 day time frame, so not really a show stopper but I want to get it done in the first attempt rather than waiting for a reminder. As Argus had suggested not to risk it for th...

Argus, Thanks for the response. I am in Almaty, Kazakhstan right now. The day I landed was the day they wrote the letter :( I really appreciate your opinion. you are totally correct that there could be errors in the system that may throw a spanner in my naturalisation process. Though there might be ...

Hi Everyone, I am sorry, I am again asking for some help on Biometrics matter. Reason for my concern and sensitiveness is that I am currently on a Business trip to Almaty returning on 27th May 2017 and I don't want to miss the deadline. I have received a letter requesting Biometrics today (12th May ...

Hi n8net, right now the best option for you is to provide them the original certificate with NARIC letters if you have them. Else go through an English test and give them the test certificate. No point in arguing really. As far as the option asking if you got ILR after Oct 2013. Till I know that is ...

Hi Char,

Thanks a lot for the response.
Sorry for the typo, i meant i have already applied on 21st April 2017.

So as i understand that UKVI will send me another letter giving me a shorter time period, if the Bio-metrics are not registered in the initial period of 15 days.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jacob,

Your documents are all fine, you actually wont need all of them.

Questions 1-3, Yes you can leave them blank for now and can fill in during the NCS appointment with the advise from NCS person.
Question 4 - You wont need payslips, since you have your passports for last 5 years.

Hi Saira, Ofcourse you are free to use a lawyer, unfortunately members cannot help you select one. However, my experience with the forum is so much better. I used our Company appointed lawyer but my conclusion was that this forum has following benefits: 1. More accurate knowledge and combined experi...

Hi Rigss I might not be able to solve your problem but i will try to help atleast. i applied last week and the money has not gone yet. Looking at timelines, it is taking them around 10-20 days to take payments. Regarding the tracking number, the registrar did gave me the number on my request (she wo...

Hi Mattt,

I would recommend that you respond to the notice of intention to prosecute asap. At max you may get a FPN.
If this is the only FPN you have got in last 12 months, you should be fine.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Anyways they have committed an offense by not paying tax deducted from an employees' salary and sho...

Hi Imran,

Casa has given you an answer but just for my sake, were you given these points and fine from the court or was it a FPN?

This is just for my learning and I will really appreciate your response.
Thanks

Thanks Char, I just spoke to my neighbour and she does not have her RCN anymore, so I guess she is out.

No, that is not even a FPN.
That is PCN, more like a parking fine,

Hi Blinkhouse, absences of 100 days in last one year are normally disregarded. In case of any excess absences you will have to request discretion. Refer to Annexure B to chapter 18 of immigration rules. Also have you counted how many days were you absent from UK in last 5 years? and were you in UK e...
