Hello, I am currently on my Tier 1 visa. I and my wife will be applying for my ILR this October end .. I had a baby boy now born last month...

Hi do not use 08450105200 use this number 01516725626 it maybe cheap or free.

Thanks Nobel, that is what I am hoping. As I have no urgent reason to travel, I will wait out the 3 months before I decide if I want to request my docs as hopefully I will hear from them sooner and it won't have to come to that. How long did your processing take? Hi Mine was 3 months and 16 days an...

James, i share your pain. This is the same reason why i didn't use ncs and now i wish i had. Did you try speaking to UKBA to find out if you could request your docs back before the 3 mos period? I will definitely be requesting mine after 3 mos if I don't hear from them sooner (unless of course ther...

In your case why you didn't apply VIA the NCS and keep your passport Handy.

Call the Home office to check with them how to send you your passport back

I took my P60 and the person at the NCS did take copies of it. I agree that basic minimum evidence as per the requirements is stated in UKBA and NCS guidelines. However in adhering to the basic minimum requirements it is not to be forgotten that there is provision of suitable alternative evidence. ...
