Hi all, I was wondering if we are supposed to return our BRP after ceremony? I have read about it in this forum and have heard the same thing from friends in the past. However, there is no information provided to me anywhere through any formal channel...I am wondering if that is still required? I ha...

Re: Four and a Half Months and still waiting

There is an email address you can use to ask for update, it is in one of the other threads in this forum. I hope you hear soon. Out of curiosity, did you not have the option go use your local council nationality checking service where they photocopy your documents and you get to keep all the origina...

Hi Discretion,

Thanks for the reply, and congratulations on getting your application done and dusted. Actually I applied in the beginning of August, and I got the confirmation on 07th August... so based on the timelines on this forum, my application is delayed...and I don't know why... :(

Yes- I did add my wife's details. (You have to, as the eligibility requires both parents to be working)..However, only the ILR holder can apply :)

ILR for PBS Dependant after the main applicant had ILR

Hi everyone, I want to inquire about the eligibility of PBS dependants (Tier 2 in my case) for ILR. Although my wife would only be eligible in 2021, I'd like to check something that is worrisome now after a friend pointed out. I have already acquired my ILR based on Tier 2 in July 2017 (and would ap...

I am struggling to find answer to my question from a reliable source, regarding eligibility for the 30 hours free childcare whilst living in England. I 'think' that I am eligible to apply as I do have recourse to public funds..but a ...

Re: Will there be any impact in ILR process if there is a gap of four months without salary between jobs ?

so based on the dates, if your last day was 18th June, you should have applied for the new visa by 18th August to ensure that continuity is not broken. On which date did you apply for the new visa?

Re: Will there be any impact in ILR process if there is a gap of four months without salary between jobs ?

In order to be considered to have continuity for ILR based on Tier 2, the number of days from "last day at previous sponsor" to the day of applying for Tier 2 visa for the new sponsor should not exceed 60 days. If it does, continuity is broken.

Re: FEE Increase 2018?

The estimate I am suggesting is a sum of ILR postal fee + the one day premium fee. Currently, the one day fee stands at 590 (rising from 400) and the postal fee 2297 (rising from 1875). This amounts to a total of 2887 for a one day ILR appointment. The 3250 limit that you are suggesting is for the s...

Re: FEE Increase 2018?

the current total fee for premium appointment for ILR is about 2900 (2287 to be precise I think). Expect this to increase to about 3600-3700 in April 2018 based on the percentage increases to date. Of course, this is just a guess based on recent pattern and you have to wait for March to see the actu...

If you had only googled "Tier 2 Policy guidance", it has a section on requirements for settlement. And on page 62, it states exactly what documents are required. All that is required is a letter from employer , most recent payslip and bank statement showing the payment of your salary, as shown on yo...

did you switch from another visa category into Tier 2 from inside UK or did you apply for Tier 2 from abroad and then entered UK using the tier 2 visa?
