I am not an expert, but could you please enlighten us, where does HO says (in the Guide) to provide proof of Income ? What I think, is that they just need your latest Tax Reference Number and also, if you are self employed, then they need the latest Tax Assessment Statement. What I think, is that th...

Can I travel outside the same night ? Shall I mention the absence in the application form for this ?

Is it ok to apply for my wife and daughter after 2 months of my application ?

Thanks for your response. I will carry on old passport also which has my initial Tier 1 stamped and an entry date of UK stamped (in 2010). Tell me one thing, If I am applying in July 2016, will they (NCS) look at my passport to find out where I was in 2011 ? I did travel to India in 2011 but in Nove...

I think it is illegal to send the passport by courier. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but this is what my understanding is. Your family could travel to India after submitting biometric details and once you receive the certificate, you could apply for your child's passport and once you receive ...

Amazing... Congrats to people who have got their approval.. It's quite amazing and intriguing as to how the HO works. We applied for my son on 18th July and no certificates yet and many people who I know applied in August and September and have already got their certificates. We applied through NCS....

This situation is a bit ridicules.. I am not in a hurry but still 4-5 months for a form like MN1 ? After paying £750 ? hahahaha.. Someone is not working efficiently for sure ..

What is your current visa status ? and since when ? If you have switched to your husband's dependent after July 2012, then you will have to wait for 5 years. If you are your husband's dependent since before July 2012, then the 2 year rule applies to you. As far as this question of your entry goes. I...

Thanks Sushdmehta I had included her in my tier 1 extension for 2 years, Hence she got limited leave to remain till 16th April 2015. I hope it wont effect on her MN1 application if I apply next week. It would not impact. My son who was born in the UK and was earlier on a Tier1 General dependent had...

I had received a similar call 3 months back. I had already heard of such fraud calls so, I smiled when the b**d said that he was calling from the home office. He asked me confidently what my reference number of last application was. I pretended to be suspicious and asked him that he should be knowin...

Yes !! You can use the expired IELTS certificate if you have used it in any of your previous application(s).

I did the same and I have got my ILR on the 29th of this month.

Good luck

See, you have not used it in any of your previous application and you will be using it for the first time .. then in this case this IELTS certificate should have been taken in the UK and should be in OFQUAL register. Since you have not taken this certificate in the UK, I do not think you can use it....

Hi , You can only use your IELTS (even if it has expired), if you have used in one of your previous application(s) to the Home Office. I had written to home office about this confusion and in response, they said this ------------------------------------------------- Some qualifications are only vali...

Absences due to employment outside UK is not permitted. Since this absence was very short ( < 6 months), why cant you just say that you went to India for a personal trip. That is it ..

Hi friends, Today, we received our BRP's . In fact it was tried to be delivered last week but my wife had gone out to get my kids from the school and the delivery was missed out. Fortunately, we received the BRP's today and all is good. Thanks all and good luck .. Am on to the next step now.. MN1 fo...

Thanks Section 9B states If you have claimed points for a qualification on a previous Tier 1 (General) application and sent in evidence of the qualification at that time, you should still list this qualification in this section below. However, you do not need to provide this evidence again in order ...
