Many thanks wpilr_nov12 technically though, would my wife be allowed for an appointment? I mean, when I arrive at the building and they check our bags, etc & appointment letter... is there a check onto how many people should be admitted? also again at the CW window? is there any thing that specifies...

also Sef, please start your query on a new thread. dont piggyback onto other people threads please!

I would appreciate an answer to this:

Can my wife come along with me to my Appointment, which is booked for me only, and we can both apply at the same slot?

Apologies - am repeating this post here to open my question to a wider audience.... I will apply for my ILR next week. My wife who is currently on PBS Dependant also need to apply to extend her stay as Spouse. * I have booked two sepearte appointments 1) my self ILR on the 16th. 2) My wife FLR(M) 1 ...

Many Congrats on your succss. good to know of your experience... I have a related question. I will apply for my ILR next week. My wife who is currently on PBS Dependant also need to apply to extend her stay as Spouse. * I have booked two sepearte appointments 1) my self ILR on the 16th. 2) My wife F...

Thanks innocentdevil & Thanks Smam. I will take by your advise. Have already prepared my Covering Letter which will have a Table showing Gross Pay (including these Green payments & Annual Bonuses), Date of Pay to my bank account, and Net Pay to my account. so as to make life really easy for the CW.....

Heartly Congrats ajantalove

Very nice details of your appointment - all what I needed to know.

Thanks innocentdevil.

I agree with your reasoning here but I was wondering from an application point of view... Would that be something the caseworker expects? as per the guidelines they have?

Is it correct to include ALL pretax pay? am just not sure?

Many thanks,

Hi All - am on Tier 1 applying for ILR next week by PO at croydon. Should I include my Annual bonus amount (in JUne Salary) when calculating sum for previous earnings? It doesnt make some difference to the points I get from previous earnings (takes me to next band) but I dont need it as I have got e...

Many Congrats AB1

Point well made. UKBA CWs might not have all the info, and from recent posts I see here can give misleading info...

We should all go well prepared with all Info that CWs SHould KNOW and argue if we get rubbish, "if its not on the shelf, then we dont stock it" kind of answers!

Did they give you a letter ststing that your application is invalid?

Did you pay fees?

Did you get a refund?

my Advise is to apply by post on FLR(M)

UKBA case workers are pron to human error and unfortunately it seems you have met one!

Have you actually checked FLR(O)?!....

there is also no where you can actually "tick PBS dependant" on that form...?!!

Your query and responses are starting to take me by surprise!

Alle, just doing a simple analysis on the FLR(O) form and also the FLR(M) form, am sorry but I think you must have been mislead by the case worker... Here is what FLR(O) is for: (copy / paste) --------------------------------------------------------------- Please tick a box below to show us the cate...

ok FYI...

I have just rung and checked with UKBA....

The lady on the other end of the phone said give me a minute as I need to check as the rules has changed....put me on hold for a few minutes...and came back saying that my wife will need to apply on:

FLR(M)

Alle, I share your understanding that your wife was correct in applying using FLR(M)... Untill some one with a recent experience replies to this thread, then am as confused as you are. I will be applying for ILR in two weeks and my wife for FLR(M) in 3 weeks under the same circumstances as you... if...

First Point: You would have normally transfered your condition of leave into your new valid passport. which it seems you did not do... DO that if you are able to.

Second: Name wise on the application form you have a field where u enter your name and any previous known names...

Hope this helps.

Not Advisable - but you can have two different accounts (emails)!

Thanks for elaborating

All the best for you and I will be sharing my story once it happens!

Do not worry about this....

in most cases people approach the police to register and get told to make an appointment a few weeks later....

dont even think about it you will be fine!

Many heartly Congrats for your wife ILR Success. THanks for sharing as I was waiting for someone to talk about Croydon these days!! am in the same position and will be applying next month (16th August)at Croydon too under HSMP + Tier1..... Things you wrote her worry me a bit! so do they still have t...

Thanks innocentdevil

thanks dhruvkataria

thanks nottinghill

All, My understanding from reading the SET(O) form is the following: For Tier 1 from HSMP -- for the purpose of ILR: sections that apply are: 11L (and hence: 11A & 9A) none of these state that the emplyment letter need to show requirement of future employment... am I right to go to my appointment wi...

Hi Notinghil,

what was your case? did u apply for ILT / Tier1?

Hi,

my employer will not issue me with an employment letter stating that "my employment is required for the foreseable future"

am on TIER 1 and applying for ILR... Is this going to be a problem?

is it an actual requirement for TIER 1 for ILR? or is it just a nice to have?

Please help thanks!
