In my opinion and understanding, if your lawful stay was regularised in 2011 because of the grant of DLR, maybe you should count 10 years from that point forward so long as there was not any break or breach of your immigration leave to remain or the immigration rules. I can see why Vinny also stated...

Passports are sufficient if they are stamped on arrival in the UK.

Thank you Madam.

Hello All, Good to be back on the forums, as in previous posts, my wife attained ILR on 1st of June 2018, as she is married to a BC, she can apply for her naturalisation as a British citizen straight away. I have been doing reading on the forums and the naturalisation as a British citizen guide page...

You will have to complete 5 years on Leave to remain visa (60 months) then apply for indefinite leave to remain after which you can apply for naturalization. You don't get automatic citizenship by marrying a British citizen. You still have to go through the necessary applications. The only differen...

Can anyone advice me I if it’s worth asking for reconsideration. Case details are I applied for naturalisation on 3rd April 2018 and got refused on 17th September 2018. Reason given was based on failing good character requirement. Home office state that Our records show that you were in the UK with...

Dear all, I will really appreciate if someone can answer my question below or direct me to the relevant thread. I am a non-EU citizen, going to apply under Indefinite Stay (LR) 10 years next month. I spent first 6 years on tier 4 and the remaining 4 years on tier 2 visa which is currently valid for...

Hi All, My dependent applied for her ILR today at Croydon Premium Service centre today which was successful. She was on a Tier 2 dependent visa and we applied using Set(O) application form for her ILR since she has now completed her 5 years in U.K. Her application was successful but the confirmatio...

Just to correct you and incase another user is looking for the form you have applied it is FLR(DL) and not ILR(DL).

Thank you everyone, this site has been amazing to me for years now , everyone is super helpful. Thank you again. Will update after i apply in person, hopefully good news. One other thing, Is Croydon better when applying in person, seems like most people are using Croydon so they might be a bit more...

Hi Guys, Can anyone please help me in this matter I am trying to book an appointment of premium service for ILR, but I am having this error when any appointment become available " Review your Answers: " * you must answer this question to continue But I did check my details but there is no any issue...

Hello. Can someone please respond to the below. Does that mean if for example : I am completing 6 years discretionary leave on 26th October 2018, can I ook a premium service appointment from 15th August 2018 (45 days before 29th September 2018) onwards for the appointment to be any day after 29th S...

For the most part it looks OK to me.

Hello CR001, Thank for your reply. I believe that witness statements from family members are required to support my application as each family member can write a letter about me , my character, as well as how I have integrated into their lives, such as: Activities Events Social gathering Support To...

From my understanding it is, for thr routes that your are currently on, so 5 years on Tier 2.

I think later on in the application it does ask you your total time spend in the UK.

I don't normally get paper statements and have my test in 2 days. If I go to the bank and ask them to print out my latest statement which bears the line "This statement was printed out at X branch" will that be sufficient. I don't believe most branches of my bank stamp statements printed out in the...

Hi we are applying for indefinite leave to remain next week but my son will be 10 in September and he was born in England. I wanted to know if it’s possible to change his application for ilr to application for citizenship as soon as he turns 10. This will allow us to save some money. Thanks This wa...
