I’m in the same boat. Though I’m hopeful this is not going to be a problem. It would be ludicrous if they refuse to accept an ID document that they themselves issued.
Hello Everyone, I’m applying for ILR on the 29th of March using same day service. I’m taking a minimalist approach to keep the application as simple as possible. Could someone be kind enough to have a quick look and advise if the documents I’m including are sufficient. I’m not including dependents i...
1. I think any wording along the lines of declaring that your employer is willing to continue your employment indefinitely should be acceptable. 2. You can use your previous IELTS only if it still appears on the list of approved English language qualifications linked below. It is however, unlikely t...
As long as the records match your payslips there is nothing to worry about. As for your rental income, it is taxable and must be declared to HMRC. I believe you should do that via self-assessment before the yearly deadline. Admittedly, my knowledge in this area is fairly limited to I'll let others a...
A CoS in itself grants no rights whatsoever. It is just a document that indicates your employer’s willingness to employ you and hence the basis for a Tier-2 Visa.

1. A Parking Charge Notice is nothing but an invoice. Parking companies usually mark them, rather deceptively in my opinion, with "PCN" in big letters to confuse and scare you. No need to mention those. 2. No harm in sending it. I would if it was asked for at any stage in the application. 3. Not sur...
Hi, I'm applying for ILR next month. My understanding was, the employer letter needs to include absences from the UK and that no evidence is needed for holidays taken within the UK. Until I read UKBA's answer to the following question: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/clarification_on_new_ilr_...
You've been incorrectly advised that your qualifying period started from the date your CoS was issued. Your qualifying period starts from the date your Tier-2 entry clearance is issued.

I sat IELTS General Training and was awarded an overall score of 8.5 back in 2012. The trouble is, whilst our certificates do satisfy the current English level requirement, they were removed from the list of acceptable tests in Nov 2015. The only tests that are acceptable now are the ones having SEL...
