No issue arriving in the UK with a valid visa. 3. You should apply closer to the time as I think all entry clearance visas are now 30 day visas ...

The new good character requirement regarding periods of overstay only came into effect 1 year ago.

You should have raised the visa issue at the time, it is too late now.

You said your father was British. How did he become British and when did he become British?

The gro website is for British born parents. You should have mentioned that he was not British born.

You cannot appeal a refused citizenship application. You can ask for a reconsideration which costs £80 and there is no set timeframe that HO have to decide, it can take a couple of months or many months. If you have medical evidence, you can use that but it does not change the fact that she had no v...

ESOL is no longer accepted by HO regardless of whether it was used in a previous application.

2. However long that is from first date of arrival.

Hi There, Even I'm in the process of applying my wife's visa in Tier 1 Dependent category and don't know what to select. The closet I could select is Settlement-->Settlement-->Wife. Is this correct?

What was the start date of your new CoS? Your new visa will likely be issued in line with that.

Resignation wise, you should probably follow the terms of your employment contract or as agreed with your current employer.

then I will just be entitled to 20 hours of work You can obviously work more hours than this if you choose to. Why do you think you can only work for 20 hours pw?

From 19 November 2015, you won’t be able to use ESOL qualifications as proof for settlement and citizenship applications. This is well documented now, ESOL is no longer accepted. That aside, you still need to submit proof of LIUK and meeting the English requirement with your citizenship application...

I don't believe it will have any impact on your applications as it is only a receipt and probably not even looked at by HO (if they get a copy).

HO based their process and decisions purely on the application forms and supporting documents. NCS is only a third party handling agent.

You need to do a test that is on the approved test/test provider list. See the list here (click)

That aside, you are aware of the many refusals due to TOEIC tests and the ETS Scam?

Shall we guess what route you took or what visa you were on before you got ILR and what sub category of dependent visa your spouse is on?? Any answer on forms/documents will depend on your dependents visa category.

Any absence is counted towards the limit you have to keep within (assuming you are aiming for ILR at some point). Your absences should not be more than 180 days per 12 month cycle and the cycle depends on when you intend to apply for ILR (i.e. not necessarily a calendar year). Assuming too that you ...

BRP certificate and ILR approval letter should do the job. Right? No, the above does not 'prove' Evidence of knowledge of Language and of Life in the UK, it proves you have ILR.
