You can apply 28 days before the expiry of your visa so do the maths and book an appointment accordingly

Why don't you change address on statements?

Thanks for your reply but we explained about the points when applied on FLR(M) but i have forgot what date we wrote there... and we had statements on parents address even when applying for flr(m) but we added a later from my mom confirming that...so if we do the same thing again would that be fine?...

well I am not an expert but I think after 5 years your points are removed or something like that and your conviction becomes spent but hey as I said I am not an expert and have read it somewhere here on this forum so IMHO you should be fine as it was more then 5 years ago and also your SAR(subject a...

My wife is due to apply for ilr in feb 2014 but have got some questions .. 1- Only our banks statements come at my parents address but we live in a rented accommodation and have got lots of docs as proof of cohabitation...so how do we explain about the statements? Why you didn't change the address ...

Hi, I got 6 points on my license as I lost my appeal in the court for driving with out insurance I'll go a head with my application for my BC I would like to request every one on this forum please kindly keep this forum updated with their results for their BC application. I know I am going to take ...

hey smam haven't heard from you for a while, where have you been mate!!

Good luck with your application my friend.

I am currently on ILR and will be applying for BC soon. My ex wife had made a police complaint against me for domestic abuse. There was no conviction and no caution but the case exists in police record. Just wanted to know if this will have any impact on my application ? Do I need to do any checks ...

What's the difference between PNC and Local computer system?

The most interesting thing is that its not mentioned anywhere neither in the application form nor in the good character guidance that citizenship would be granted at the discretion and that its not a right! If its not a right of someone settled permanently then why do they grant people settlement in...

By the way 12 years of education certificate from Pakistan which is called HSSC(Higher Secondary School Certificate) is NOT equivalent to the UK A-levels either and is same as UK GCSE.

After reading the case seems like AM the applicant(and all other claimants in the same case) was a refugee at sometime but was granted ILR as a spouse of BC and then applied for naturalization on the same bases but prior to his marriage with the Brit he must have said or done something in his earlie...

Indeed really shocking and unbelievable

Thank you so much for your valuable advice and guidance, appreciate your help and have really put my mind at peace after almost over 2 years.

Chat with police could lead to refusal? I really think you have serious mental problems. You do not need immigration advice. What you are in great need of is, is a psychiatrist's help. He might need to administer heavy electric shocks to your brain and give you sedative drugs. For how long have you...

I have read the following and belive that my chat would be held on the PND ( Police National Database) and then obviously UKBA would be able to see it, but am not sure if it is on PND or not so is there anyway to find? http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN06441.pdf‎ I have done PNC and Enhanc...

Don't you think that numerous fixed penalty notices show pattern of offending as per the new guide?

I am applying for ILR set (M). I have few enquiry to make: 1) my wife is british and she have a son(9 year) from her previous relationship(her ex is british). she claiming child tax credit and working tax credit(which HMRC normally include my wages as well). so will it cause problem for my applicat...

IMHO ILR should be replaced with a direct grant of Citizenship ... Not everybody wants citizenship. I certainly didn't when I first came here, and even after I got ILR. I'm still mulling it over seriously, but the fact that we now have children here that have UK citizenship has kind of tilted me in...

Can't go to other EU countries on ILR This is the most disappointing thing to me. Even temporary visitors to other EU countries have more freedom of movement than permanent residents of Founding EU member The United Kingdom. Ireland is the lone exception, but even that is starting to come under que...

Still more than 2 months to go. Lets see what happens. If it does turn out to be true, then non of us would need immigration advice.

lolz....it was 2012?wasn't it?

Congratulations on your success.You can now enjoy life without worrying about the border agency ever again . Not really to be honest in my opinion as if you live for two or more years out of the UK then ILR is lapsed and have to convince them again that you have strong ties and bla bla bla..... No ...
