My Indian passport expired in summer last year. I made several attempts to get it renewed by post but they sent the application back on one pretext or the other - not signed in the right place, proof of ILR not included (despite the fact that it was) etc. I suspect (though it was never explained to ...
Plum70, I don't recall any announcement of the end of the 14 year rule. Got a link? Getting an illegal job puts the OP in many precarious positions She's already illegal and liable to be picked up. If she wanted to go she could have gone a long time ago. But she's living here. That costs money. Woul...
If she can't get a spouse visa she'll surely get a visitor visa, no? Isn't that sufficient to come here, prove she's the mother and get social services to hand over?
Talk to a good lawyer. If they don't know about Surinder Singh then they aren't hot on this area of law. Find another one. You've not given us any time scales. But I thought I'd mention that there is also the 14 year rule. If you've been here for 14 years - legally or illegally - you can get stay. T...
Sorry to hear about your situation. What documentary evidence is the HO asking to see? And why do you refer to the 3 year old as "his" daughter and not "our" daughter (considering you married him in 2002)? And when you say the letter doesn't have your children's name on it... what children? You don'...
Be warned though that if you lose your application for discretionary leave then the clock is reset on your 14 year stay and you can't apply for that. You will also have to go back if you aren't successful with the discretionary leave. You are almost certain to get ILR under 14 years so I'd go for th...
Your medical condition does not "help" your application (or hinder it). Either you meet the specific conditions for ILR in which case they give it to you ... or you don't. There may be other routes to you getting ILR but the simplest may be to wait till you are 24 and then apply under the 14 year ru...
My mother finally got ILR as per my previous threads. We got the judgement from the AIT about two months ago. What happens now? Will the UKBA send her the ILR document? Do we need to wait for them to get in contact and ask for the passport? Or is there some further form to fill and formal process we...
Would you care to validate your claims or just abuse us unsubstantially?

If u r a BC it's ur duty to report crime. What a bunch of hypocrites! The British once had a reputation for honesty and fair play. Today, they're as grubby, grabbing and greedy as the worst of them. Surveys have shown that the British (ILRs included) are the most likely to retain any extra change m...
The victim is of course the person who would have got the job, legally. Consider this: While this "victim" got benefits and free housing, this illegal immigrant sent money home that has just paid for his son's eye operation and saved him from going blind. Maybe even saved his life. The moral positi...
Doc 2: Bank statements, regular pay slips from your part-time employment, phone bills etc., may serve instead of the GP's letter. It's quite normal to not have been to a doctor. I know a successful 14 year applicant who had never been to a doctor in the entire 14 years. Doc 3: I dont think they'll l...
About in person renewal at HCI London: How easy is it? I found a doc that says they issue only 100 tokens per day and that they start issuing tokens at 8.30 AM. How early does one need to start queuing to get a "token"? What happens if you just turn up at say 11 AM? Or do I need to get in the queue ...
I suppose there's some inconvenience but it seems minor. You could pin it to a page in your passport but there's always the chance that when you send off for some visa or the other someone detaches the Permanent Resident sheet and loses it. If the worst happened, what are the consequences? The ILR i...

Thanks for the link. Yes, that answers the question. What a rip-off! It's £165 to put the stamp in the passport. Bear in mind that there's no extensive digging around, going through lots of paperwork etc., that you would do for an ILR application. That's all been done (and charged exhorbitantly for...
I don't believe they are generally dearly beloved. But my experience is that they are a rude, arrogant bunch. And bloody incompetent to boot. I wouldn't be surprised if the sum total of their checks in this case amounted to five minutes but they kept him for an hour and a half anyway. But that's les...
If ILR is on a separate document - it's an A4 sheet with "Permanent Resident" information and photo - how does one get it transferred to a passport instead of having to carry the document separately whenever travelling?
I originally requested your advice on applying for my mother to get ILR. Thanks vinny for your replies, they were invaluable. Because she has a fair amount of savings in India and a regular pension proving the financial dependence was always going to be tricky. I asked for your advice here . Again, ...
convictions? What on earth are you talking about? We're discussing refusal of visa type information. Why should a refusal of a British visa (perhaps only because of a missing document or a document that UKBA lost) be grounds the Australians use - likely without the full facts - to refuse an Australi...
