Problem with BRP - contact for Home office

Hi I got my ILR relatively straight forward. However, upon receiving my BRP I noticed the photo on it was quite substandard. When the immigration officers took a photo for my Biometric there was a chair in the background and it is now clearly shown protruding from my back and also my face is not ...

Re: How early can I apply for Spouse Visa Renewal?

You may apply for extensions at any time before your leave expires. But take care not to apply too early as you may end up with insufficient leave to complete your qualifying period for ILR. Thank you, that's true I did not take in account of the ILR at the end. May I ask does Home office not add ...

Ah, thank you though. Because I had came across this document and seem to be the only detailed document about what is considered exceptional absence. I understand spouse visa is a lot stricter and long term absence like this will be viewed very negatively. Just want to see if I interpreted it ...

It reads as though they are asking about your current status so put the details of your entry on the current visa. Thanks for the response!

Re: flr m postal application payment confusions

My advice is always, always use Postal Orders. After about 10 visa apps we've had no payment issues, whilst if you look on here you don't have to look far to read tales of payments not taken woes, declined issues and bank refused payment unusual activity etc etc. There's a fair old surcharge but ...
