@Tangozebra I cannot comment on your case but to say nigerians are thoroughtly vetted is wrong. Myself and my family are witness to this. I am nigerian as well and my application took less than two months from naturalisation application to passport receipt. After I got my british passport I applied ...

Thanks Khan for your respone. I could get the payslips stamped but will required efforts and time as the Accountant works just 2 days in a month. More importantly I do not want the company to know I'm applying for ILR unless HO call for any requiry. If payslip is not compulsory then I can apply with...

I will be applying for ILR under JR2 in few weeks time but the pay slips given to me by my employer is printed on normal A4 papers without company stamp and sign. I have my bank statements, letter from employer and P60 as evidence of employment but I am worried whether to submit the payslips with th...

Hi Sten,
Thanks for your quick response. I'm on Three and not restricted completely from using my number to call 0870 but charges will be very high. Do you know of any cheaper pay as you go network that can be used to call 0870.

Thanks

H all, I'm about calling PEO for ILR appointment. I cannot call the premium number from my mobile and think of using the alternatives @ saynoto0870 to get an apppointment. Has anyone reached and got appointment for IRL using the alternatives. Please share your experience. Regards

Since you got approval letter before April 2006, why are you not qualified under ILR JR? You need to explain this to enable one advice you properly.

Thanks Mr Rusty but why should I make honest application when the HO is not honest with us? They keep changing the rules and apply them retrospective. Thanks to JR of April 2008.

I don't want to go out of the topic so any experience on the subject matter is highly appreciated.

Hi Parvus, I'm not sure if Immigration Office scanned my passport on my way out but the check-in is usually done by airline staff and not HO. Getting such information from them may not be that easy due to data protection.

UKAbble, can you please explain further on what you know?

I guess they will hardly know from the stamps on my passport. Immigration Officer never stamp my passport when leaving the UK, they only stamp it when entering. Thanks Ricky for your response.

Hi, I will be qualifying for ILR on 5 years Workpermit and HSMP resident. However, I am not sure if I 've spent more than the allowed days outside the uk since I travel out alot for family reasons and also visited alot of other countries for personal reasons. I requested for my SAR file and nothing ...

Hi all, I submitted my Canadian Skilled Application in May 2007 for myself, spouse and two children in London. I'm actually from Africa but moved to London with my family in 2005 through workpermit. However I had previously had a son out of weddlock back in my home country whom I did not declare nor...

Hi republique, The guidance form is simple and I do not misunderstand it. The qualifying period based on the quidance notes is "There is a qualifying period to complete in most of the categories on this form. That period runs from the date on which you were granted leave to enter or remain in this c...

Hi Frontier Mole, I think you are missing it. The guidance notes for set 0 as example. Its states the qualifying period and when it start to run:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... de0208.pdf

PaulM, read the ILR guidance form. The 28 days rule only state that " you should not apply more that 28 days before completing the qualifying period" which accoding to the guidance runs from the date the leave to enter or remain the the UK was granted. So you should be okay to apply for ILR 28 days ...

Hi MORBULOUS_PRIME, Frontier Mole, I do not agree with both of you that ILR qualifying period start only from the date you entered the UK. Its clearly stated in the ILR guidance form page 2 section 5 that the qualifying period runs from the date when leave to enter or remain in the UK was granted. S...

You will be issued 3 years. Check the guadian notes

gainvidya, ajex +others, I don't think people with 1+4 should bother so much on meeting new criteria for FLR most especially if they entered UK before November 8th 2006 when the new rules was announced. Most people who came in under 1+3 but refused FLR due to the new rules were able to get extension...
