what I am worried about is - the savings is from "remortgage" of a property. I haven't sold the property - so essentially we have taken our equity from the property and we have borrowed more from bank. And it is mentioned in case of saving - the money should not be borrow and somewhere else I read -...

Thanks. yes, I have more than 62K saving in my savings account. It is from a remortgage of a property. But I cant see anywhere remortgage option in the link you provided. I have all the paperwork for it. If I cant use it then - my husband's annual salary from previous job (which was till Mid may) wa...

Thanks for prompt reply! But I am still confused regarding financial requirements. I have quite a lot saving than the required 16K. I am wondering - shall just show the saving? It has been there in my account from more than 6 month. I also receive rental income 1350 per month in my account. But my h...

Thanks for prompt reply. I do have savings more than 16K in my name. My husband's company also has saving of more than 16K.

Hello, I have FLR(M) and my partner has ILR. He is going to British citizen soon - his oath is on 6th Sep. My FLR(M) is expiring at the end of this month. Could anyone suggest list of documents I need for FLR (M) extension. My husband was employee till mid May 16. His salary was more than 18K (which...

Many thanks!
One more query - My husband's british citizenship application has been approved (15 June 2016). He will take oath on 6 Aug.
I am wondering whether I will be considered as "family member of UK citizen" and will be exempt of surcharge? My son (minor) is also British passport holder.

many thanks for prompt reply.

I started the dependent application. I am confused about health surcharge. My husband has ILR (after 5 years as Tier 1 general).

Should I choose - apply alone or applying to join ?

thanks

My dependent visa ( Tier 1 general dependent) is expiring at the end of sep.
Could you please suggest list of documents we need to provide?
Also, I need a appointment at Croydon branch in Sep. Anyone knows how easy/difficult are appoinmtnet these days?

Many thanks!

No I haven't read them yet. I have to apply for one more extension before I will eligible for 10 year stay in UK.

Anyways, I will download it today and read it.
But just wanted to guidance from people in the forum
what all documents they submitted?

I will be eligible for ILR in dec 2016 based on 10 years long residence. What all documents we need to submit in support of application? I have tried to keep council tax and bank statements etc for past several years but not sure whether I will have it for each month/year. Many thanks in advance.

I was wondering if any of the procedure changes (ILR/Naturalization) due to my husband's British Citizenship? My son already has British Citizenship. Once you are granted ILR, if your husband is British at that point, you can apply straight away for citizenship and will not have to wait 12 months o...

Thanks for replies. Yes, I agree, I need to apply for extension in sep and then apply for ILR in Dec. Then after a year apply for Naturalization. My husband was issued ILR on 2014. He has applied for Naturalization this month. Hence he will be come British citizen soon. I was wondering if any of the...

And we are married since 2006. sorry I wrote partner instead of husband!! sorry of confusion!

many thanks for all replies. Here are the facts again: 1. My partner has applied for British citizenship this month. At the moment, he has ILR ( after completing 5 years on PBS). 2. I am on his dependent visa from 2014 which is expiring on Sep 2016. 3. I will complete 10 year legal stay in in UK in ...

My partner applied for naturalization based on 5 year rule - tier1+ extension.

Our only mistake is that I became his dependent on 2014 not on July 2012 (since when the rules changed for partner of pbs).

My partner has applied for british citizenship this month. So does that mean I can apply for British citizenship as partner (5 year rule)? We have lived as married couple since 2007 in UK. My partner and I both came to UK with independent Tier 1 UK visa. I became my partners dependent in 2014. I kno...

Hello, I will be illegible for British citizenship on dec 2016 based on 10 year legal stay in UK. But my current UK visa is expiring on 28 sep 2016. My son ( who is british citizen) will be 7 year old in October 2016. I am wondering whether I can apply citizenship based on 7 year parent rule? is tha...

Hello, I am trying to book appointment for today or tomorrow but I cant get it in my nearest councils. anybody had luck getting appointment within a day in any London council or nearby London? Just wanted to avoid 250£ increase from 18th march. But I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to b...

Hello Everyone,
We are in process of buying a house. We need to bring money from our indian (residents) account to UK.

I checked with ICICI and SBI - both have cap on the amount you can bring in. Can anybody suggest how to bring money quickly to UK? Many thanks in advance

I did some research on it- indian nationals can transfer 125K dollors legally per financial year (which runs from march-april -I think).
But you will need to contact bank in india to check the details. - not many people in india know this. I got this information from govt india website.

Hello, We are on ILR visa in UK. and still hold indian resident bank account. We are planning to purchase a property in Uk and want to bring a lump sum (more than 80K) from india. Does anyone know - how to transfer money from India to UK? I know there is 25K $ limit but is it per person per year OR ...
