You can use any postage packaging, you pay for whatever you want use. It is entitely up to you. It is not provided as part of the service.

There is NO proof of residence required for passport applications.

Do you mean that their births were only registered and their birth certificates issued recently? Where is their other parent?

I have merged OPs topics. One has to ask why birth were registered so late and it would certainly bring into question whether the child is actually the OPs.

Does it mean they will check her employment status online?

No!!

She can resign if she has ilr. It has no effect on your application at all.

She can apply for citizenship as soon as she gets ilr provided she meets the requirements.

Her route to ilr is irrelevant.

Date of departure and date of return dont count as absence. Only whole days are counted.

All passports are processed in the uk. Years ago they were processed by embassies

You need to send your ILR BRP card.

Read the dedicated thread we already have of forum members experiences.

What evidence exactly do you have?

How long have you been in the UK, presumably on a spouse visa?

Indicating you paid very close to 12am and fell into the trap of trying to beat the system that many unfortunately do. Your application date is then likely considered the 6th February, after the increase came into effect. You don't really have any option but to pay to be honest. I have to wonder why...

Well you did the application, presumably on behalf of your spouse. What time did you receive any email confirmation or anything like that?

Or was the application submitted online from Pakistan?

I asked what time (exactly), not before x time!

What time of the day/night (presumably in the UK) did you pay for the application and the IHS?

What was the amount in GBP you paid? Not everyone on the forum knows the difference currencies, we only use GBP when advising. The IHS for a 2 year 9 month spouse visa is £3,105 for one applicant. So how much in ££ did you pay with the application? £1987.79 So you haven't paid enough and need to pa...

Are you sure the original payment went through and did not get stuck in pending and then rejected?

I cant pm you as I am not allowed here. Can you pm me, if you can?

You dont have access to send or receive PMs!

I think dependents can take as many extenstions as they wish. as long as main applicant is either holding tier 1 or has converted it into ILR The OP has not stated his current immigration status. If OP holds a Tier 1 Ent, the dependent cannot apply for an extension that extends beyond the main appl...

You will need to find evidence. The reason this is asked for, is to determine and verify that you have NOT been absent for 2 or more years and therefore possibly lost your ILR status. And yes, UKVI do check this rigorously due to ILR holders using ILR as a 'visa' to just pop in and out of the UK vis...

That is all you need, full passport(s) copies.

Any other residence documents such as council tax, are only for those under the EU &EU Family route as their passports don't get stamped.

Thank you, I will submit a full copy of all three passports then. I thought council tax would be easier / less documents. The ukvcas process isn't helpful as it just asks for "Proof of living in the UK for ** NAME ** for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of ...

Thanks for your help. We have compiled the following, ready for when we submit the application. We are leaving the country for a few days next week so are going to submit when we are back. Have I captured everything which is required in my list below? General: 1. Sponsor Passport (all pages) - You ...

One more thing if I may; do you know if it is necessary to take the 'Life in the UK test again?'

No.
