Hi,

I am in the process of inviting my mother-in-law and was wondering whether it is necessary to submit the property inspection report.

I am renting the property. Shouldn't the rental agreement and council tax bill would do the job?

Your advice will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Just checked the status has now been changed to "Declaration form received, being processed"

Thanks for your response.

Yes you are correct there was a weekend in between.

I was just wondering people who have applied, if they could share their experience..

Sent the declaration form on last Thursday (05/05) by special delivery, which was received next day Friday. Today is Monday and the online status is still saying "waiting for information from applicant". Can someone please advise in your experiencing how long did it take to change the status to next...

visa4uk website is still in BETA version so most of the questions will not be relevant.

You will need to use logic and chose the most appropriate answer and write N/A where the information is not relevant.

Hello Lynx, thank you so much! In the form, I will select "Completing on behalf of some one else", am I correct? As my daughter is only a few months old. Also, in the form where it asks what is you address, and what is your Country of Permanent Residence, should I give my UK address and state UK i....

Hello, Fellow Immigration boarders / Gurus, My wife and I are both naturalized citizens. Our daughter was born in Pakistan last month.

They will be able to apply CoE ROA from the moment you have been naturalised and got the Naturalisation Certificate after attending the ceremony. This advice is wrong. CR001 's advice is spot on. The situation is quite nuanced. It depends on where the child is born and the status of the parents on ...

Not sure if you will be able to succeed in getting family visit visa, when both of you have settled status with ILR.

1. Is my son eligible to apply for a "Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode" on his Pakistani Passport? Can this application be made from Pakistan and what is the average processing time for such an application? After receiving his Registration Certificate, there are two options 1. Either Ap...

Sorry I was relating this to my experience and realised I was only questioned when I was holding ILR and not British Passport. After you become British Citizen and hold British Passport, IO's should not give you any hassle as the passport itself state to allow the bearer to pass freely unless they s...

Don't let these things make you upset as it is completely normal for them to do checks.

Next time use e-gates, no questions will be asked.

I would have to agree with cs95tdg here that the expired qualification will only be accepted if they appear on the approved English language test list It's best to take a new test since you will be forking out £££, it's best to keep things simple. Also if you read between the lines it states the Hom...

Page 14 of AN Booklet November says If you have already satisfied the requirement to have sufficient knowledge of language and life in the UK for settlement, by applying on or after 28 October 2013, you do not have to demonstrate it again.

Now the question is, do I have to resubmit the same expired IELTS certificate or not? Thanks Yes just include the expired IELTS along with the application to show as evidence as how you met the requirement in the first place. Even though there is now this option to met requirements included in the ...

Thanks a lot Harry. That was a very important piece of information. I am still not sure of parents' birth certificate. My husband has his naturalization certificate. I am an ILR holder. What do I provide for my birth certificate. Isn't my passport sufficient. Any help would be grateful. You just ne...

There has even been some mention on the forum of a new requirement to return BRP once naturalised (?) - but I haven't dug into that.

I thought other documents like marriage certificate, birth certificate and passports are returned but child's own BRP card will required to be submitted. If that is not the case and child's BRP is also returned then my child can travel outside of the UK and come back to the UK using her returned BR...
