@liuzhbob The letter of approval categorically asked me to contact the local council (HO actually stated the address and phone number of the council to contact) before 21 days to arrange the ceremony. So, when I called the council, they confirmed that my certificate is already with them. So, don't w...

@yash.yashm here is the link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/forseto04091.pdf @rt987 That is very true. I guess HO got that wrong! However, I guess for those that are applying before the 27th April, they are safe to use the old form without problems. Is that...
I rescheduled my appointment on the 6th of March at 12:05am. I will admit that the appointment website is very stable now. Unlike before when the website goes down before appointment is displayed, now the website does not go down anymore. So, it is a bit easier to book now than before! Give it a go ...
Does anyone know how to report to UKBA that Apply Online is not working today? It is going into infinite loop and coming back as website not found. Does anyone know how to report it to UKBA? If we don't take pragmatic steps to report or inform them, it means no one would be able to book appointments...
@mittoo For clarification according to my understanding ONLY, from 6th April new fees would be; ILR £1,051 -> Main Applicant (Postal application) £788 -> Each Dependant Applicant (Postal application) £1,051 + £375 -> Main Applicant (PEO application) £788 + £375 -> Each Dependant Applicant (PEO appli...
D1 = "Yes" 7.11 -- Let say you apply on the 4th of April, 2013 you would have theoretically been in the UK 4 years, 11 months, 2 days counting from 2nd of May 2008. So your start date would always be 2nd of May as the 78 days you take to come to the UK has been discounted. Use this link to calculate...
The rule said if you entered up till before 90 days after EC was stamped, then it will be overlooked and those days between EC and actual entry to UK will be counted toward the continuous residency. The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted towa...
Hi all, In case you have not seen the new addition to appointment search page on UKBA website, you can now only search for 5 appointments in 15 minutes. You will only be able to search for a maximum of 5 appointments in 15 minutes. If you can not find the appointment you want, try again later . My i...
Read page 55 of the general ground for refusal which directly address cautions. But to put context to the whole non-custodial sentence list start reading from page 15. When you finish reading it please share your view and interpretation of what it means. Your view might help to defuse this knotty is...
@priyadri You will need to tick yes to this question on section 7.1 7.1. Have you or any dependants who are applying with you been convicted of any criminal offence in the UK or any other country? This is because caution comes under non-custodial criminal conviction. If you still not convinced ask t...
To be fair, with the money we pay for UKBA services, I believe we should get better service at least with appointment booking. We don't deserve to be awake till 2am to book appointment. That is totally unfair! Not at 2am in the morning for severall days. At least they can look at it from the point o...
@priyadri HO general ground for refusal reads "There are two forms of Police cautions administered in the UK. A simple caution, or A conditional caution, which has specific conditions attached the offender must satisfy. Reprimands and final warnings are similar to cautions but are issued in the ...
Like D4109125 rightly said, you will need to declare it as civil judgemen t (not as criminal conviction because CCJ is no criminal record). Good that you have paid it, HO wants to see that you are committed to paying it or you have paid it. So, you are in a very strong position. See a similar succes...
I could not log in from 10pm till 2am on the 26th Feb... Apply online is trickier than you think now.
There maintenance work between 1 - 4 march, hopefully that will reduce the pain.
@shahid2000 Sorry to confuse you mate. What is your current visa, are you T1G main applicant or dependant? I am a Dependant of T1G What category are you applying under for ILR? T1 General If you are T1G dependant, what is the current status of the main applicant you are dependant on? I am applying a...
Just five fields;
1. First name
2. Last Name
3. Date of Birth. However, in DOB field you will need to select from dropdown menu your day, month of birth then you will need to type your year of birth.
@kais 1. Yes, it is a criminal conviction and it is one of the few driving offences that are recorded. You will need to tick the yes box 2. If the date of conviction (not the date of offence) is more than two years in the past then you are fine. However, there have been several cases of people that ...
Hi everyone, I just need to brainstorm with everyone about the correctness of my appointment date. Date of entry to the UK -> 22-10-2004 on Student Visa. Remained legally on student visa till 15-05-2008. Date of Entry to Tier 1 general -> 16-05-2008 as Dependant of T1G. Date of renewal of T1G -> 03-...
