Any 'child' aged 18 years or over must qualify for settlement in his / her own right unless there are exceptional circumstances. If there are exceptional circumstances the application may be considered under the Rules on Other Dependant Relatives.

My existing visa will get expired in march, what if I don't receive my pr by then, which status I will be in? Also have plans to travel to India end of next week end and my solicitor mentioned that in the covering letter to help having the application processed quickly. It's creating lot of mental ...

I 100 percent agree with you that it is requirement for Set(M) application form. Since Set(O) form does not explicitly define the type of documents, submitting these documents from one source is your personal interpretation and liable to be rejected. Therefore it is suggested to be on safe side ins...

As per rules you are supposed to submit proof of cohabitation from three different sources like utility bill, tenancy agreement, bank statement, credit card bills, medical cards, pay slips, and so on. List is exhaustive This is a requirement for SET(M) applicants and not for SET(O) applicants. Sect...

Hi Khalid, Thanks for this. It is a big help that you listed actually the documents mentioning the period they should cover. I was quite confused about photocopying all last 5 years pay slips, bank statements etc. :) Can you also mention how many years period cohabitation documents from 3 different...

Hi all forum friends I would like to get feedback from all those migrants who came to UK before Nov 2006 and covered by JR of Apr 2008 and Apr 2009. My assessment is that there would be very few cases now in this category as by Nov 2011 everybody should have been issued ILR. If there are any friend...

All Good Evening.. I am in the UK and need to apply for ILR in a couple of months from now. One of the requirements is to ensure I have not been outside the UK for more than 180 days in the past 5 years of my stay. How does UKBA track the entry and exit dates in the UK?

Extension for more than 3 years was basically was JR cases(who applied before 7th Nov 2006). I am happy to learn that Home Office is giv...

Why would you want to do that? Why would you not enter UK using British Passport if you have it? If the question is also partly about retaining your previous passport, then that entirely depends on which country it belongs to. no because I want to visit my native country which doesn't allow dual ci...

Just noticed the policy document changed so that if your travel date is within 3 months of the visa start date you need not extend the visa twice before ILR.You can calculate 5 years from Visa start date. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/cross-cut/ilr-...
