HO can increase fees earlier if they wish to, it is their prerogative. If it is their prerogative to increase whenever they wish, then there is nothing sneaky about the whole show. Sneaky in the sense that it has usually only been w.e.f. 6th April and all are used to it being as such. But of course...

Ouch..... That smacks of being a little unfair if you have to pay for years that you have already contributed for..... But if that is the case there is no choice. Still cheap as chips in the grand scheme of things but on the up side it would only apply to the main applicant as the dependent visas d...

It should start on the intended date of travel but many applicants have not been fortunate to have this done and UKVI have issued from date of decision which then involves trying to get it corrected, which also takes more time.

The poster has 90 days grace period within which to use his Indian passport without penalties. Please do not give incorrect advice. you become British and you not supposed to use another passport., Your statement above is not correct. It is not compulsory to hold a British Passport, many British bor...

Yes you can leave the UK to travel. Difficult for you to come back though, airline won't allow you to travel without your BRP or visa in your passport. Suggest you apply for passport as soon as possible, current waiting times is 2-3 weeks.

Please don't give incorrect advice. They do not charge the extra or remaining fees on the appointment day. What you pay when you book online is all you pay.

The immigration health surcharge is payable with EACH and EVERY application you make.

You might be able to get a refund, you might not. It is not HO who is deciding to switch visas/employers so frequently.

1. There is no 'work permit' category anymore. It is a Tier 2 General visa. Have you read the Tier 2 General guidance notes? 2. The company has to be an approved sponsor on the list. No, if they are not on the list they cannot sponsor a Tier 2 General visa. They can apply for a sponsor license and s...

" This guide assists children who have not yet reached the age of majority (age 18) to become British citizens under the following sections of the British Nationality Act 1981. Once a child reaches age 18 they will have to apply to naturalise using form and guide AN." Above is an extract from the G...

Ok ..thanks for your prompt reply. But, gov.uk states that they will have to apply for naturalisation using Form AN when they turn 18. That is what made me think No, it DOES NOT state that. If that is what you have interpreted, quote the text/link so we can see what exactly you are referring to. Re...

hi CR001 Thanks for your Reply, I checked my payslips : tax code is tax ref or totally different thing I submitted biometric in post office for ILR last year Kind regards, Saleem I didn't say PAYSLIP, I said P60, the document your employer gives you at the end of the tax year. Otherwise ask payroll...

Hi guys, I need help to fill AN application form : 1.1 Please give previous Immigration and Nationality Directorate or Border and Immigration Agency or UK Border Agency, or Home Office reference numbers HO reference number on any letter you have. If you can't find one, leave it blank. 1.6 1.7 where...

And if you can't find out, leave it blank.

Even when I have an ILR, can both my wife and child continue to extend their PBS dependent visas for further periods?

Yes, provided you apply for ILR based on PBS and not long residence.

Indeed sneaky move, they might have seen a high volume of applications made in the month of March/April 2011. They reckon the same after 5 years especially for tier 1 to ILR. There are many visas that lead to ILR, not only Tier 1 with 5 years residence. HO can increase fees earlier if they wish to,...

Can this many people really have been engaging in tax deception? :shock: That is stunning, and depressing. When are the next lot out? I think they might be even worse based on the threads in this forum. You comment is not realistic. There are many categories of visas (Tier 2, Tier 1 Ent, Spouse vis...

Please don't post in CAPITAL letters, it is the same as shouting.

I think you are looking at the wrong application form. EEA FM is free and definitely not $900 and definitely not English requirement. Are you perhaps looking at the VAF4A form (spouse settlement visa)? Do you have Permanent residence? How long have you lived and exercised treaty rights in the UK? EE...

You can take the baby to PEO, they do allow it.

Should be fine as long as you register with HMRC as self employed and pay the appropriate taxes and NI on your income.

And based on the link that noajthan has provided and the comments within the link from TheStationAgent and FrontierMole, I would guess that you have a problem as what you appear to be doing, is illegal.

You can, but her application will be on hold until such time as your is decided. If you are refused, she will be refused.

P.S. I am a Miss, not a Sir

But what I cannot clearly understand is HOW I can apply directly for a passport for my future child. I mean the procedure...There must be an application form to fill out or something like that. I can't find any application form online. Pick up a passport application form from the Post Office, compl...

That is very sneaky of HO

How did you get permission to marry by registrar with no legal status in UK? And why did you not apply straight away after marriage rather than waiting 6-7 months more? FLR(M) would still have failed as the OP had no valid leave even at the point of marrying. Good point about marrying without legal...
