15 days but the caseworker wasn't bothered.

Quick question. On MN1, can I get our pharmacist to be the professional referee for my kids born in the UK? Please accept my apologies in advance as this must have been asked a zillion times before. Yes if he or she has engaged with the child in a professional capacity. A teacher or health worker i...

Just to inform you guys that I had my appointment on 30th of April and got my ILR approved on the day. Couldn't post as I was pretty busy with stuff but here you go. Also, we received my biometric card today. I booked a room for a night in Premier Inn which is literally seconds away from Solihull P...

Hello There, In the 12/2012 version of the SET(O) application form there is a new question added, 7.12 - Please state what ties you have with the country where you were born. I have only one brother and my mother lives there. Please explains how I can fill the form question. Thanks Valeed Answer wo...

I've been to Lloyds and asked them to print the transactions since my last statement, they did that and it has my name, address, acct number and sort code and all the transaction.
They also stamped it without an issue.

Hi, I am an India passport holder, and I have been in the UK from 2009 with a Tier 1 General visa. I have a few queries and can any of you help me please? 1. I am planning to apply for ILR next year. Is ILR really an indefinite visa, or does it have any validity period like the Tier 1 General visa?...

Yes. As long as it is not spread beyond 12 months. The below link rule applies(read the section under tier1) Can someone else also comment please ? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/appendixa/ search for "Period for assessment" You're right. One can have...

Hi Will this effect people who have indefinite leave to remain stamped in their passport. Thanks Mark THOUSANDS of foreigners will be banned from getting full NHS care in a health tourism crackdown, The Sun can reveal.

I think they do. Why do you think it's a complicated case?
If you're worried about holidays then from reports so far, it looks like they're not really bothered about short absences

I would suggest do not provide more documents then what is needed but if possible do carry as much as you can. But just provide the basic documents as more documents only causes more issues then solutions. Couldn't agree more. I've always belived that more extra docs you put the more complex you ma...

Absences due to the applicant travelling to see family and friends whilst unemployed would break the continuous period for ILR, as they are not work-related or for compelling or compassionate reasons. Is there any documentary evidence of this? Or just another idiot talking rubbish and making stuff ...

You're paying our fees then? Use some common sense before posting. Every fortnightly changes with stupid effing excuses just to draw money from people is the reason why everyone's pissed. To answer your comment regarding high skilled immigrants ability to pass the text, EXACTLY WHY WE ARE SAYING TH...

wanted to share some information For those Dependants who are too tied up with Family and have no time to attend courses, the easiest and safest option will be to pass an IELTS exam with 4 Bands I know its not easy for everyone but at least you can study at home and when its convenient for you What...

Has she ever had a visa before or it's the first time you're gonna apply for her T1 Dependant visa?
If she has never had a visa then you don't have to apply for her T1G dependant visa unless she's travelling.

The Pass Notification Letter for the Life in the UK test provides that "Following your test today in knowledge of life in the United Kingdom this is to certify that you have reached the level required for the purposes of obtaining indefinite leave to remain under the Immigration Rules or for natura...

Just wanted to update you that one of friend got approval from Solihull today with 60 days(Total) absence all were vaccation , no letters were asked. Also want to inform that process in Solihull now changed (payment before Caseworker looks the case) I think people missed this post!! Great news .. E...

Guys, don't stress yourself too much by reading the responses from UKBA. Unlike WP/T2, HSMP/T1 was never required to be working all year around so unpaid leave would never break continuity of your stay. From experience I can tell you, don't read too much into UKBA's responses either, half the time ...
