Has anybody tried the 1 week fast track service for new child passport ? Do they check and return the supporting documents (BRP, etc) at the appointment or keep it ?

We are planning to apply the first British passport for our boy (we both parents with ILR obtained before he was born)

Thanks!

Hi All Yesterday when arriving in Gatwick (back from a short trip to France),we presented our BRP with ILR but the IO did not check for biometrics (finger print) or ask any questions. Is this normal ? We were really tired so did not ask about it Usually we were asked for the index finger scan with t...

It is the same with me
Letter of Ack - Letter on ROA = 4 months
So the processing time seems to be about 4 month lately for COE ROA

I finally received my documents and the passport has the COE in it, 9 working days after recall. The strange thing is the COE has a date before I recall my documents. So probably mine has already been processed before I asked for the recall. From the date of the letter of acknowledgement to the date...

Hi Guys

I have just recalled my documents for emergency travel (ROA application) and hope to receive it soon. Did you get the return documents by normal delivery ?

Since I have included return special delivery envelope I hope they would use that and not some second class mail

I think this may have been changed recently https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned You might have to cancel your application - you’ll be told if you have to do this when you ask for your documents back. For Nationality application (ROA) it seems there is option to recall without withdrawing. I h...

When did you apply .. Early, mid or late March ? From the forums and friend's experience, ROA used to take 2-3 months but now it seems to take longer. In my mind it is a simple check - Baby born in the UK and parents have ILR when baby was born. No other criteria. Not sure why it has to take so long...

I applied early April and still have not heard anything and status showing awaiting decision. Due to emergency travel, I am going to recall my documents. There is an option to recall documents without withdrawing from the process - anybody tried that ?

Does anybody have any experience applying for Right of Abode (ROA) for their newborn baby in the U.K We are planning to apply for our baby's ROA. Straight forward case of baby born in the UK to both settled parents with ILR. In the guide , it is stated that the evidence needed is Child full birth ce...

Hi Guys,
I am also applying ROA for my new born baby born in the UK (to settled parents).

Did you guys just send the BRP to prove settled status or the passports as well ?

Thanks, Alex

Just got my BRP.. it was sent to my home address even when I asked and got confirmation that it would be sent to the office (correspondence) address.. had to call DX and arrange re delivery to the home address

Anybody with their ILR/Visa approved late last week got their BRP yet ? Mine was approved last Thursday (Croydon) and I am still waiting -(

I have attended croydon PSC and got the ILR approved..now waiting for BRP Tier 1 General Route Documents: passport BRP cards 12 months payslips , Bank statements Employer Letter absences - current and previous + personal letter 5 years P60 Life in the UK letter (main and dep) Degree certificate and ...

This is probably a bit off-topic, but the election is in 2 days time (Mods- if not relevant please feel free to move/delete) I believe most people here (commonwealth) are entitled to vote I am not sure about you guys but the past 5 years will have definitely influenced strongly the way I might vote ...

Yes perhaps use Tier 1 E , or Tier 2 and just provide the page that shows English qualification Even in this link, it still says printout of of the calculator is allowed https://www.gov.uk/english-language Degrees taught or researched in English You’ll need to prove your degree was both: taught or r...

Btw there is no longer a PBS calculator for Tier 1 General from today..

Welcome to the redundant extension club.. the risks are few and unlikely (multiple FPNs, court fines, rule change after election) but there is too much at stake. I still hate paying so much and becoming a cash cow to the ukvi over the last few years. if you can vote this may , choose who you vote wi...

Thanks for sharing your experience of renewal
Is there no need to submit the degree certificate (qualification) and the English Language proof since they have been proven in the tier 1 application ? Did you include those as well

Now is the time for me to start getting a little worried, as there is no avenue to stay after the 6th if there is any issue with the ILR (which is unlikely of course based on the successful postings on this board) When you extend only the main applicant leave, do you only submit documents for yourse...

"I wonder if this will work or whether I'm asked to pay the fee difference "

Are you going to try this.. I am in the same situation (eligible end of May)
Not sure if it will cause issues later during the application day due to insufficient payment

I am also in the same situation - enough points, fulfilled all the criteria, eligible in June Thought about it but probably decided not to go for extension It is an extra insurance/safety net but a very expensive one (£2000 per applicant PEO) , with the ILR fee already going up to £2000 per applican...

This does not make sense.. From the Immigration Rules 245CB. Period and conditions of grant (a) Leave to remain will be granted for: (i) a period of 3 years, or (ii) the period the applicant needs to take his total leave granted in this category to 5 years, whichever is the longer So in a "redundant...

Ever since the conservative gov, we (last few batches of tier1G) have been constantly screwed exorbitant fee rises and extra rules to make life tougher. Still wanna vote the tories this may ?

Hi All, Do any of you have any experience or advice regarding applying for ILR when umemployed ? My ILR application is coming soon (in June) but my company is going through a large scale redundancy and I fear that I may be selected. I do have enough points to qualify for ILR even if made redundant. ...

Hi Guys, My wife is currently expecting and if we choose to have the baby outside UK, how do we then bring the baby back into the UK, and subsequently for settlement/citizen ? My wife and I will be settled by then (but not British citizens) Does anyone know if this is a quick and easy process or one...
