Re: ILR(m) self-employed payments under Cat F

Update for anyone in the same situation ... my ILR(m) was just granted using my self-employed income under category F. The payments from my business account to personal account where adhoc and in large chunks combining dividend, salary and out-of-pocket expenses. I just did a separate cover letter e...

Re: Taking a year break from UK

For both my FLR(m) and recently granted ILR(m) I spent more than 50% of my time outside the UK for work and vacation. I just explained in my cover letter that my work requires a lot of travel and put exactly all my travel dates outside the UK into my application where it asks. However, my partner wa...

Re: "Evidence of monthly housing costs" when own your house without mortgage

Thanks for the fast reply. We recently bought the house outright as a cash purchase so there are no mortgage documents. We have the contract of sale which I guess should be sufficient? The only other thing we could do is order Title Registry and Title Plan for the property but that's another £50 I'd...

Re: Next day decision (UK) on the new system - your experiences please

Hi,

So I submitted my application on a Friday and the earliest appointment I could get was the next Tuesday - had to get an out of hours appointment at the lounge as all the free ones were booked out for about 2 weeks.

Attended the appointment and received a response by email about 6 hours later.

Is premium lounge always a priority booking

Hi,
I'm trying to book a super premium appointment (next day decision) but the only available appointment is at the Premium Lounge. When I book there is no other option for next day decision. Is premium lounge always a next day decision? I'm applying for flr(m)

Thanks
