Do we actually have send P60s? I thought it was enough with the following:

- AN Form
- Passport
- PR or ILR
- Life in the UK certificate
- UK Degree

If so, do I need to send P60's for all the 6 years or just for the last year? Is this to prove residency?

Hi spidermann, I am in a similar situation. My wife and I applied for PR after 5 years (3 years unmarried partner + 2 years married). They took 8 months to grant us the PR (June 2012) so I am not sure whether I should apply for Naturalisation in October 2013. I already took the test and passed it bu...

I found out that Sarah Rapson is the new Director of visas and immigration. I tried to email sarah.rapson@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk but it didn't work, the email bounced back. Any suggestions?

Hi All, Just updating you. I emailed a complaint for the delay of our EEA3 and EEA4 applications to Rob Whiteman, my MP and the UKBA complaints team. I got a reply from Rob Whiteman's secretary with the following info: "Please note that Rob Whiteman is no longer Chief Executive of the UK Border Agen...

Hi All, Just to say a big thanks to @Shawshank, it's nice to see people willing to help others in our quest for PR. Well, just updating... I didn't wait until the end of the week for them to reply my letter. They didn't so far and it's highly likely that they won't (99.9% sure). So I emailed my MP a...
