Re: Surinder Singh Settled Status Paper Application:

So, we just had a call from UKVI. I was told my wife's proof of residency in the UK for the past 5 years that I had submitted with her application was fine, but I had not enclosed any proof I had been here too. I can't remember seeing anything about this on the form, so I didn't enclose anything. I...

Probably one hour later the same guy has called. He's checked my history through my National Insurance number, is satisfied with the result and has granted my wife ILR. He'll send back all the documents we supplied with the application, and another department will be sending out the card, "within th...

I think it would be good idea to try to reach one of the major newspapers at this point. That seems to be only way to get a response from HO.

I'll ask again as no-one has posted a reply: Has anyone made a complaint, and have they received any kind of response yet? If so, which is the best place to complain: UKVI, a national newspaper or an MP? I suspect the best results would be to an MP, but mine is a Tory so I suspect little help as he ...

Re: SS PR application - Absence query

Ok, so it looks like it's my wife's absences that matter. We haven't tallied up exactly her time out of the UK, but it looks like it could be quite close, or even over the 6 month maximum. So the new question would be: has anyone applied and succeeded even though they had been absent for +6 months o...

Hi, sorry if it's been asked before, but I cannot find an answer. Like many other members, we've been a long time away from the forum until now when we hope to soon be applying for PR under the SS rules.

Sorry if its a bit of a computer question, but I'm unsure of the file format I sent. I downloaded the form from the UKBA site, but it opened to reveal a mess of characters, that made no sense at all. I presume it's because I don't have Microsoft Word on my laptop. Anyway, after messing around conver...
