Hi, I was wondering when an individual can be classed as "Free from Immigration Control".. Is it when the individual has gained a specific status (ILR/Citizenship) or a combination of the status and a requirement to have been resident in the country for a specific number of years? Any info would be ...
P.S: I would have thought that the certificate/qualifcation used to obtain ILR would still be valid for naturalization as if the qualification was not deemed "suitable" at the time of iLR application, then ILR never would have been issued.. Basically, if it was valid and suitable for ILR, it should ...
After this date, if you are submitting an ESOL certificate for ILR or Citizenship, it has to be from an approved school or college. This is to prevent 'dodgy' establishments providing 'quicky' certificates...2 week courses for example, usually with high fees, which don't comply with the requirement...
P.S: For my ILR application I provided the last 6 months of my current account and 6 months of my savings account as monies are often moved between the two accounts..
employed and paying mortgages monthly. got some money in my current account and also a saving account. Wondering how much is generally enough for ILR evidence of finances. I think if you provide bank statment for at least the past 3 months, that would be sufficient to prove financial stability... E...
Previously, the HO did not accept ILR applications until you had reached 28 days before acheiving 2 years in the UK.. (ie, if you landed in UK March 29th 2008, you could not send off application before 1st March 2010). But if you entered the UK more than 28 days after the visa issued, your visa wil...
I read some where that I can face problems when applying for ILR if I have not entered in UK within 28 days of Visa grant. Is it true and if yes, why so? if your visa is valid for only 24 months for example it will expire before you can apply for ILR which you can do 28 days before the end of the 2...
Sammie I'm in the same predicament as you, I also need my passport back but I'm taking no chances so have applied for an Irish passport in the meantime just in case. Sent my OH's in on the 18th March and monies deducted by 20th March. I just rang up the Immigration Enquiry Bureau and enquired about...

Hi all, Sorry for posting this in the "General" topic space, I wasn't sure where I should post this thread. If this is the wrong place, Mods, please feel free to move me to a more relevant location!! My family would like my Aunty (Mums paternal sister) to come to the UK as a Carer on a "Carers Visa"...
If you contact your local council (preferred) or local estate agent and explain to them that you need a Property Inspection report for Immigration purposes they can produce one for you.
I think the council option is cheaper that the estate agent. I paid £80 for mine from estate agent...
hi can anybody provide list of questions that they may ask during the interview. Only those questions will be asked for which the answers can be corroborated, i.e. verified by the paperwork you have submitted with the application. They won't ask questions like what your spouse’s favourite color i...
