Thanks again, looks like staying back for delivery is the best option. Yet the thought of having to do everything by yourself is daunting when we have a brigade back home to take care. I can't help with any of your questions - but I can tell you that while having a baby in a country with no family ...
Wow, thats very long So: For Settlement Spouse Visa on the 2 Year route it takes 1. Around 3 months for a decision 2. Your immigration status stays the same whilst the application is being decided (Even if that coincides with your Visa expiry) So you stay in the UK and not classed as an over stayer...
Hello, I got married in my home country in Feb 2012 and came here in the UK in May 2012. I am still here and my visa expires next year July 2014. I have been doing research and seeing what the process is like for the ILR. I know they need joint accounts documents and so on. But my Husband refuses t...
Hi all , I came to uk 2nd may 2011 with my wife visa , *spouse* I Booked an appoitment via Peo Services for 3rd May 2013 is that right date for apply ilr ? i have read at ukba web site it does says Please do not send us your application more than 28 days before the end of your 2-year qualifying per...
Can some one who received their visas clarify if the documents are delivered by regular post (as they used to do) or is it a signed for delivery? I live on 5th floor and this info saves me from checking my postbox every 2 hours on my days off work....this is getting desperate and ridiculous day by ...
Has anybody used SCS at some local councils? Does this speed up the application at all? At £100 is it worth it any thoughts.. I didn't think it was worth it. If you're good at forms and are able to go over your application with a fine-tooth comb on your own, you don't need the SCS. As far as I am a...

Hi, My husband got his British Citizenship 3 months back. I entered UK 2 years before as a dependant and I am now able to apply for ILR under SET(M), Application for Indefinite Leave to Remain In the UK as the partner of a person present and settled in the UK. I have certain queries and doubts to c...
I'm fairly certain that the "shared responsibility" bit would be if you have a car loan, mortgage or something of the sort in both your names. The children bit in Section 3 gave me such a headache that I called the UKBA over it! I was told that if your kids are British and are not part of the appli...
Thank you for clarifying the BRP. I have some further questions can you please help me: Do I have to print the form double sided in booklet format or just an ordinary A4 one sided print is acceptable? - Double sided or single sided A4 - so do you mean to say it does not matter whether it is double ...
Thank you for clarifying the BRP. I have some further questions can you please help me: Do I have to print the form double sided in booklet format or just an ordinary A4 one sided print is acceptable? Page 7 asks: when did partner obtain settlement in the UK? I arrived in the UK on 19/10/1997, I go...
Heyyy thank you for the update..When did you apply in November? Towards the beginning or the end? Yeah makes sense about the BRP, I was a bit worried when she said that she only needed my BRP and not my passport as for all my previous visas I had to provide both..Maybe the settlement checking servi...
I had a very straightforward Set(M) application (Canadian, no record, married for 7+ years, kids, etc) and it took just under 4 months. Applied via Checking Service (Nov 20), received biometric enrolment letter Dec 10, and received my BRP this past Tuesday (and the approval letter two days later, go...
I'm not 100% sure about the BRP she took though I have read in others posts on here that people's BRP's are taken at their PEO appointments because the UKBA shreds them so that could be why she took the card. Maybe the UKBA doesn't want anyone in possession of 2 BRP cards? You have to show photo ID ...
My husband and I only had the Gas bill in our joint name, so I submitted two of those (one from 2010, the other from 2012), plus 2 NHS letters in my name, a bank statement and council tax bill and NHS letter in my husbands and our BUPA membership form that contains both our names and our kids names/...

You are absolutely right. I was not told the score after the Test. My assessment is based on My answers. Most of the questions were some what similar,to the ones during my quick study.I know for sure I got all 24 right.May be if I get My SAR file or at a PEO appointment I could confirm the actual r...
I recommend the Life in the UK smart phone app. It was £3.99 and about half the questions on my test were the same (word for word) as the app. You can do mini tests on each topic, and then an over timed exam with 24 randomly chosen questions. Still need the book though. I disagree completely my wif...
My wife's visa runs out on the 5 of march 2013 she due to take her test on 22nd of February. I have a few questions 1 if she does not pass she as enough time for one more attempt but after that she will be close to her deadline, is it true you get a 28 days before she as to leave without facing any...

If the UKBA does an initial sift, which I think they do based on one of those Freedom of Information q's, what are the chances that personal aspects of our lives lead us to be categorised differently? What I mean, is someone from a Commonwealth country likely to be processed faster than someone not?...
Has she received anything from the NHS? With my set(m) application I submitted 2 letters from the NHS - 1 from 2010 when I first joined a surgery, and the other from this past fall from a surgeon to my GP "happy to confirm" that I had had an appendectomy. Letters like that are accepted. I don't know...
