Your ILR letter - There is no ILR letter - You get a vague letter saying your BRP card will come in 10 days. With the BRP card there is a letter that I will walk with. Also ensure you do not have a big gap between your old and new passports. No gaps UKBA payment form - listed above payment slip /fo...

However, the caseworker will always have the discretion to reject so perhaps waiting until a year has lapsed would be a consideration. VR and Amber - This ...

Re: Good luck on your filing

Heisgood, No need to fret over minor issues. The journey itself is pretty taxing. I believe at the end of it the only value add is freedom of travel. Locally the economy is a mess, next year comes with challenges which will set back any peanut progress that is achieved. There is no way out of the h...
