Thanks happyguy82 and milan69.

I will appreciate if anyone has had a similar issue with their application and can share their experience.

Many thanks

Dear seniors, I would like to offer my gratitude for the immense knowledge and information that the website provides to hundreds of users of this website. I have been one of them and I successfully applied for my ILR last year. Now, I am preparing to apply for Naturalization. I have few queries pert...

Hi Just Wondering,

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am trying to get in touch with the ferry company that I used to travel from Dublin to Holyhead to get exact details of my travel.

Experts/moderators - if you can shed some light on the issue I will be grateful.

Thanks.

Hi harry7476,

Many thanks for your reply. Do you have the contact email address for ukba?

Experts/moderators please confirm/advice is there a way around this problem?

Many thanks.

Dear experts/moderators, I have recently acquired my ILR and was studying the application form for naturalisation. Under section 2 residence requirements, the first question under 2.1 Date and place of first arrival in the UK is causing a bit of an issue for me. Although, quite straight forward to a...

Dear all, May I take this opportunity to thank all the people who have shared their experiences on this forum. I found the shared stories and feedback from moderators extremely useful. I, along with 3 dependents, applied for our ILR on 17th February 2014 at Croydon PEO. Our appointment time was 8.50...

Hi ilrtier1genral, Many thanks for your response. I just want to clarify that both my visits out of the country were during school holidays (I am a teacher) and were paid. I have not had a single day during the 5 year period as unpaid. Experts, I would really appreciate if I can get clarification on...

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I am on Tier 2 visa. I have got full time permanent contract.

Thanks

Hello experts,

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Dear experts, I am in the process of preparing my application for ILR. In the past 5 years, I have been out of country on 2 different occassions totalling 63 days. I was reading the guidelines for continuous stay and it states that one needs to get an employer letter for paid leave. Can I write a co...

Many thanks for the link. You have put my mind to peace.

Thanks guys. That link takes me to the webpage on UKBA website related to naturalisation. Does the same apply for settlement?

Hi Amber, Many thanks for your prompt response. Is there anywhere stated on UKBA website that PBS calculator printout should suffice as long as the qualification is granted 10 points. Not questioning your knowledge, but I am about to spend £5k and I would not want the HO staff to reject my family's ...

Dear Gurus, I have read all the threads and it is extremely useful as most of us do not know where to go and find out the latest updates. Most of the posts have been in relation to Tier 1 candidates who must have satisfied the English Language requirement during EC. However, I entered the country as...

Hi Binhn8. Congrats on your ILR. I am in the process of applying one, just wanted to ask you a question. How old was your IELTS? I have given IELTS but that was way back in 2002. Not sure if that is still eligible.

Thanks

Hi,

I am in a similar situation with PGCE. Please let me know the outcome of your application.

Thanks

Hi, I went to see an Immigration solicitor today based on your advice. I was told that as long as the injury is not a life threatening injury, Tier 2 extension should not be an issue. Also, as the victim is going to sue my insurance company for damages, does that become a civil law suit against me? ...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Do you or anyone on the forum know any good solicitor I can consult. Also, I was just curious, how does UKBA know the extent of the injury to the victim. I got the PNC done, all it says "failure to stop after road traffic accident" along with the driving code AC20. Is ther...

Dear Experts, I am currently on Tier 2 General visa. My visa is due for renewal in May 2013. I have a driving conviction, AC20 dated January 2012 with a fine of £600 reason being failing to stop after a road traffic accident. I have been studying the new guidelines published by UKBA dated 13th Decem...

Hello and congrats!!! I have a similar conviction with driving offence code AC10 and £500 fine. The sentence was handed out on the January 24th 2012. Based on your experience, I presume that as of January 25th 2014, I should be able to apply for my ILR. Meanwhile, I would appreciate if you could ans...

Please help, waiting for advice...

Hi experts, I am renewing my Tier 2 visa in May 2013, however, I have a criminal conviction for a motoring offence. I was handed out 8 points on my licence and a fine of £500 in January 2012. Obviously, I will declare the conviction on the application form, however, I am concerned whether it will ha...

Dear experts, I have been eagerly waiting for the changes that have come in place as of today. However, I am struggling to find a link on UKBA website that can clarify the criminality threshold. My case is as below: I was convicted earlier this year, January 2012, for failure to stop after a road ac...

Does the conviction affect tier 1 extension as well, I was under the impression that convictions only affect applications for ILR and citizenship. Please advice.

It is motoring code AC20. Failure to stop after a road accident.
