Hi, folks - Just thought I'd give a wee update - I got ILR ! Never have to look at that damned SET(O) form again. I went to the Glasgow PEO and everything was pretty straightforward. have the payment pages at the ready first - both the proof you paid your booking fees AND the filled out form from th...

Thanks GOD, Today I got ILR at Glasgow PEO. I would like to thanks all who share their questions and success story. The experience was very good at Glasgow PEO and the staff was polite and helpful at Glasgow. Only few people were there to apply for visa. I saw only 11 people in total until 2:30 PM....

Congratulations Ramma. Happy to hear your success story as all of us have same worries before applying in person. However,how did you find Glasgow PEO today? and how did you pay for your application? did you use an immigration adviser? Any further details or advice regarding this PEO is much appreci...

I was wondering whether the immigration solicitor or adviser can influence UKBA's decision on ILR application?
How can they help to get a positive decision (at decision stage during your interview at PEOs)?
Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm getting same thing in my bank transaction although I've booked appointment at other PEOs!

On 1 April 2013 the UK Border Agency was split into two separate operational units within the Home Office. UK Visas and Immigration and Immigration Enforcement .However, I noticed that the name ( UKBA) still in use.
Which name should be used today? any update.

The Devil is in the details!!

But just in case In case of what? You know it's not necessary so your question seems puerile on that basis. BUT from SET(O) Section 11 Documents/ your finances page47..it says; Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings book(s), pay slips...

Many thanks for your reply. I was just wondering whether this situation (unemployed dependent and Tenant) has an affect on ILR application when evaluating your home and finances ( section 5 of the form).

Please advise

Can the dependent of a PBS visa holder (Tier 1 G) who has completed 5 years in the UK with the main applicant apply for ILR at the same time as the main applicant if such a dependent is out of work or doesn't have paid job prior to applying for their ILR ?

Please advise

Thanks for the feedback but I still have issues with the following. Please, someone help me with what is required of me? "For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules." * Please, what do...

Congrats. well done, please let me know the contact details.

All three options are possible, subject on how your absences are spread out over the preceding 5 years. Option 2 should be safest for a PEO application. Postal Option 3 will give you a right of appeal , if refused after expiry of leave. If someone has not exceeded their allowance i.e. only 50 days ...

Is there any one on the forum who has got ILR after security checks? How long an Security check will usually take? Please advise by security check do you mean criminal record checks? No, I'm asking about a case couldn't be decided on the same day as UKBA were waiting for some security checks to com...

annoyed, I got that "Further enquiries" letter in post yesterday. Now the waiting game starts. :? [/u] What does the letter say? It starts as: "I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your application. Your application is valid but there are further enquiries that need to be made on your case and as...

What does the letter say?

You have entered the vicious circle of deferred cases I am afraid. Sorry to hear about this. I am struggling with my case which was straight forward like you as well. And I applied at Cardiff PEO as well. And I was told exactly the same thing as you. PRECISELY THE SAME WORDS. As long as you have no...

Stokbrig I kept asking them about the nature of security checks but they wouldn't clarify anything. I just can't think of anything wrong or missing in my application. I just have one non-endorsable fixed penalty notice for parking (no points on license). I was told by UKBA customer service that it ...

My nationality is Pakistani.

Hi Janjua,
Have you asked them why they wanted to send your case to other security gov. org.? is it because of your nationality! or there is another issue you may know. please advise

Hi I applied for ILR today at Cardiff PEO. My case was very straightforward. Came to the UK on HSMP, then extended into Tier 1. I Have been employed throughout the period of my stay. Out of the UK for a total of only 66 days. Now the problem is, after waiting for about 6 hours the case worker said ...

Congratulations Ali and many thanks for sharing your experience.
couple of questions please;
1-Can you advise on the best method for filing documents and what kind of folder should be used.
2-I've had only 7 days outside UK during Christmas holiday in 2009,what should I do?

Thanks in advance

looks like visa processing previously had taken much longer for you, is that the reason why you have so much leave remaining after finishing the 5th anniversary on T1 ? since leave under 3C is counted as legit, no other documentation is required, i agree with the advisers that you can apply 28 days...

I think you can,however,I've read different stories about this issue ( when you still have extant leave)! I would suggest you to contact the border agency to get a confirmation and please let us know. good luck Spoke to a couple of advisors from Immigration Enquiry Bureau this morning and they said...
