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...
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...
Hi, I am about to submit my application for ILR(m) using my self-employed income under CAT F to meet the financial requirements. I quite easily am over the required threshold however each payment into my personal account does not match the same figures that are on the payslips and dividend vouchers....
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...
Hi, Working through my ILR(m) and need to submit the document "Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live. For example, a tenancy or mortgage agreement" We own our house outright so don't have a mortgage or tenancy agreement. Council tax is already ...
Has anyone recieved a BRP recently? If so, what was the decision date on your letter? We're still waiting from 16th January. I'm starting to worry UKVI are clearing the application backlog and are processing on time and have now caused the department producing BRPs to fall over. Other threads only ...
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.
My super priority experience went very well. I got the appointment booked for 3 days after submitting my application online (it was the earliest I could get). Only available appointment was a 7am at the lounge in London. Paid the £35 to get documents checked. Appointment was on time and only took ab...
ok thanks. Yes I selected priority processing on the earlier page and have now booked at appointment at the lounge ... only because it was the only appointment available within the next week.
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)
Hi, I’m about to put in my application for FLR(m) as the unmarried partner of a British citizen. I need to travel for work immediately after a decision is made so I’m wondering if anyone has used the next day decision option on the new system and how did it go? When you submitted your online applica...
Hi, Seems like a question I should already know the answer to ... but, I lost my BRP and am going through the application for a replacement. It asks which category I applied for leave to remain in the UK... my BRP Type of Permit is "Dependent - Leave to Enter" and is valid for three years. So would ...
Is there a priority option for BRP replacement??? I lost mine while working abroad and now I am back in the UK for just a couple weeks before flying out again to finish the project. I was going to go into a premium centre and pay the £600+ to get it done but the next available booking isn't for more...
Hi, I applied for a spousal settlement visa and after speaking to the UKVI agents on the paid phone number they suggested I use the priority service because I needed my passport back within 5-6 weeks to travel for work. The agent on the phone told me that it would be done within 4 weeks if I paid th...
Ok thanks - I guess we need to try and get more documentIon. With the emails and communication it is things like discussing renovations, photos of us renovating and living there for over 4 years, emails between us and landlord (tho the actual lease is only in my name!). Anyway, I get your point abou...
Ok thanks for the help. Do you know if they will even look at other things? We have 7 years of pretty solid evidence in terms of photographs, travel documents, references from employers/friends/family. Skype calls, emails, messages over the past 7 years. A couple things with same address like drivin...
Thanks for the reply. I believe the finances is covered as we have more than the required savings £62.5k. We also have other documentation over the last few years like flight bookings with both of us on them and some other things that might show we've been together for this time. Also money transfer...
Hi everyone, This forum is proving incredibly useful - thanks for the help so far. A few questions if anyone is able to help... I'm Australian and my partner of 7 years is British and I'm looking to apply for the un-married visa so we can settle in the UK. We have been living and working abroad in t...
last question... as my current youth mobility visa is still valid, would I be at a great advantage to apply from within the UK while it is still valid? or the same as applying from outside UK?
her work is salary employment, ongoing and >18.6k .... mine is freelance through my own limited companies in UK and Australia. But my UK one on its own doens't reach 18.6k
