Does your friend have ILR issued under the UK Immigration Rules or Settled Status under Appendix EU? Yes, he has ILR. If your friend has been away from the UK since the Covid pandemic, that sounds like he had been away for more than two years and his ILR had already lapsed. He was back in UK in bet...

May be I should have taken the British passport when it was easy for me !

1. Any recent cases of being denied entry for PR holders within 2 years of returning? 2. Has anyone with PR been allowed recently even after 2 years of being away from UK? In that case, what are the valid reasons acceptable to immigration officers? I guess corona lockdown could be obvious. Even thou...

If you are in India, as your previous posts suggest you are a citizen of, there have been many opportunities and flights to return to the UK in the last two years.

Your dates are not correct that you have posted.

I do not see the passport details on the BRP.
How the immigration officers map it to allow the entry? Do they just use biometric info?
If passport details are used, what happens when the passport is renewed ?

Kindly help.

The guide refers to the paper application form.

I am also referring to the paper application form that I downloaded from the links provided.

I am applying for renewal of my daughter's (5 year old) passport from outside of UK using this form: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-application-form The guidance note for this is: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-passports-gu...

Any help here is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have seen this and it eventually takes to a page which says: Check the guidance notes to find out which supporting documents you must send with your application. That guidance notes also does not help much. According to our situation, we think we need to provide: 1. Child's 2 passport photos 2. Co...

This forum has been of great help and can not imagine visa application process without it. Big thanks to everyone behind this.

I take print outs and photocopies at my work place that uses recycled paper which is brownish. Is it OK to use this for the visa application forms, supporting documents etc.? Or, are we supposed to use the white color high quality paper only? Where can we get the print outs for cheap and how much do...

you have already completed your 5 years of qualifying period on 1st August 2018 for ILR. You could have applied for ILR 28 days earlier of 1st August 2018, that's what it means. Thank you for your reply. So, I can apply from 1-aug to my visa expiry date of 25-sep-18? And, hence my current PSC appoi...
