Get your passport in your maiden name and change your name by deed pool then apply for a new british passport in the new name. Sure will waste some money but it will save you a lot of time and hassle. Unless you take the Home Office to court they will not move, they are civil servants who act on pol...

Hello, Does anyone here know how points on your driving licence affect your application? I have received a Fixed penalty notice, i paid the fine and received 3 points. I never went to court and didnt get convicted. Do i need to declare these on my AN application form? Yes. You need to declare it. A...

Since your wife has charged domestic violence charges against you that gives her grounds to apply for ILR under excruciating circumstances. Formalise the divorce, notify home office and fight for your rights. If she cannot prove the charges then counter sue for defemation. Removal proceedings will b...

Yes they are still employed by you are they not?

Hi FaeLLe, Thanks for your prompt reply and your advice based on my status. I am planning to apply for the Subject Access request on a fastrack basis. I do have all the boarding passes covering all my previous travels. Can you please advice if I provide a self certifying letter with all the above p...

My Previous employer with whom I have worked for over 2 years is not willing to provide me an absence letter. I only have an Email conversation which they have stated that they do not have records confirming my absence. Email is useless for Home Office, it is the Secretary of State's decision wheth...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I am not clear. I understand why you are not able to get my point. I am not working in a company or Industry. I work as Postdoctorate fellow (which is a kind of job after PhD) in a University and thus my job is not a permanent and is more depend on funding which is m...

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean I need to get another Tier 2 visa with the offer letter (this will be my third visa from the third employer) for one year as I cant get more than 6 years. Then I need to apply for ILR during that one year period. Is that correct? Not sure why you want to change em...

What about the letter for certification of absence out of country for normal annual leave etc.? Will he need the out of country absence certified by all 3 employers or only from the latest one? What options does he have for the out of country absence (within permitted limit) for previous two employ...

There is a gap of 14 days from previous application rejection to new application submission. Since it was refused i couldn't do anything but to find new employer and apply with them. Will it affect my continuity ? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/518855/ILR-...

@noajthan and till proven guilty..(in this case unsuccessful) I would strongly advise people to keep pressing on. Confidence goes a long way during times like this and If ever in doubt, please seek the legal advice of a vetted and certified legal professional. But we should never condone that they ...

Hi Kavitha, Could you please update on your application ? I am in bit of same situation, my application was refused on 24th October 2016 and received refusal letter to my solicitor on 28th October 2016, and filed a new fresh application on 8th November, Does that mean i applied as overstayer or in ...

FYI @FeaLLe some of the employers I have approached have been pretty accommodating and I haven't encountered any major problems in respect to this. We should be mindful not to scare people and discourage people who are not as well informed as others. I'd suggest you carry out further research and b...

if you have applied for ILR before your visa expired then you still hold the right to work whilst waiting for your ILR to be granted so it shouldn't be a problem if trying to a new job. Your visa status while you wait for a decision remains the same as what it was before you apply for ILR. This mea...

Just because you have indefinite leave to remain does not mean it is permanent. If home office rejected your BRP because they found you do not meet the continuous leave period they feel that you have been out of the country; if you leave the country for 2 years then they could revoke your ILR and st...

Just to add on your child only needs a UK visa if they need to travel in and out of uK (if born in UK).
A lot of people leave their children in boarding schools in the UK till they turn 10 and then register them as a British Citizen directly.

If I were you I would stay put in the UK till you get your new BRP in hand. Remember you have more rights for whatever reason when you are in country than outside. Do not risk it and start applying for new jobs in parallel to hedge your risk in case your new company will not get a sponsorship licens...

Since when do you need to give utility bills for ILR?
I thought the sponsor certified 5 years of residency through their employment confirmation letter indication SOC code, salary and absences out of UK!

Thanks for clarifying folks, I have just turned down a few months of opportunity to do a strategic engagement in Ireland. Once I get my ILR hopefully I can consider such opportunities... You will still need a work visa for Ireland if you have ILR. Visa is not a problem.... my employer can easily ju...

Does this apply to you? Employment outside of the UK If the absences are connected to other employment outside the UK, which demonstrates the UK employment is secondary, these are not permitted absences, and the continuous period requirement is broken. Absences due to employment, whether related to...

Hello, Does the time spent outside UK for ILR eligibility also include Ireland (Dublin to be more specific) being in the Common Travel Region? Is time spent in Common Travel Region considered as days spent in UK for counting ILR eligibility under Tier 2 General Route? Appreciate an urgent reply plea...

Hi, Good afternoon, hope you all doing great. We don't received any update from UKVI regarding our current Tier 2 General application, we given our biometrics more than 8 weeks ago.
