[mittoo]

Hi All,

I'm currently on Tier 1 ext. visa which valid till sept 2013.
I'm eligible to apply for the Permanent residency in UK as I have completed five years. Is this a rumour or is it true that ILR fees is going to increase from April 2013?
I did not find this mentioned in the site. I believe I come under SET(O) and the fees mentioned is £1,377.

Like previous years this year again the UKBA is increasing its fees for almost all of the categories from April 2013.

Could you pl. post the source of this information? I could not find the revised rates on their site

Also can you tell me the date of April month from which these new rules are applicable?

Many thanks.

For clarification according to my understanding ONLY, from 6th April new fees would be;

ILR

£1,051 -> Main Applicant (Postal application)
£788 -> Each Dependant Applicant (Postal application)

£1,051 + £375 -> Main Applicant (PEO application)
£788 + £375 -> Each Dependant Applicant (PEO application)
