You and your spouse will both need to meet the English Language level B1 requirement as Nigeria is NOT an English speaking country, see link below : https://www.gov.uk/english-language Seriously :shock: Nigeria NOT an English speaking country? Where is the time to start reading for exams. This is ...

Thanks CRC001, country is Nigeria. For my kids, does it mean I have to fill separate forms for each one of them? Just thought of the amount to pay: Me & Spouse: £906 x 2 = £1812 my Kids: £669 x 3 = £2007 Total: £3819 This country should be the richest country in the globe. Also noticed an £80 cerem ...

Hi All I came in with HSMP (2008), got extension Tier1 (2010), ILR (23rd August 2013). I have just a month now to apply for British Citizenship so my understanding is that i have to Naturalize first before applying for BP. This is what I am putting together so I hope I haven't missed anything ...

Thanks Guys...

I just realized that Childcare voucher isn't part of public funds. I thought I was entitled to it after getting ILR.

I just wanted to know how much should one sacrifice per pay period?

Thanks

Hi

I would like to know for those that have ILR and are already getting childcare vouchers, how much should one sacrifice per pay period?

Thanks

Wow! I never heard of UKBA refunding fees for delay in processing. Congratulations.

Me too was really surprised

It is only a BRP and that is probably what the missed delivery was as UKBA use DX Couriers. Best would be to contact DX and rearrange delivery or see if you can collect if one of their collection centres is near to you. Thanks, no need as I just got another delivery this morning and my wife read ...

I just got a call from my wife now that our ILR had been approved.. phew... It came in this morning after our PEO delay due to IT issues on 2nd of August. Interestingly, they have also refunded about 300pounds each for me, my wife and kid for not fulfilling their PEO same day response. What an ...

Hi Yesterday I missed a package from DX delivery and not sure what it might be. I would like to know for those that have received their approval, is the ILR approval like a stamped VISA similar to EC & Tier1 (Gen) or is it just the BRP since i have just been told that it will sent to me within 7days.

No documents was returned and wasn't told of any decisions made. What they did was call every single numbers affected by this one at a time to pickup an apology letter and promising to call within next 24hrs (working day)

So much for the premium payment made for me and 2 deps and hrs of delays. Now been told to wait till next week that they will call me because of waiting Biometric verification which I assume is for my son who will be 6yrs 2 weeks time so they didn't take his finger print. Same issue with lots of ...

Really annoying that their IT equipment had issues today so my son's biometric could not be verified today including others.

So was told they will get back to us next week after staying for more than 4 hrs , so what was the essence of paying that extra money for same day processing.

it was just last 12 months bank statements and 12 payslips which was mandatory. Hi Congrats... I am just about to go for mine and would love t know how to filled the last bit of the form Photographs and Documents Checklist. How did you go about the following: A: List Items Photographs of yourself ...

If so you can provide that as evidence of your date of application.

Oh sure, it was already nicely packaged

thanks

Also when answering questions, don't panic as you may be tempted to go back and change some answers

Hi, I meant your application date of your tier 1 being 20th April 2010, that is the date when you applied with all the delays with your appeal wont change that application date, hence i think you should be ok. It might be best for you to talk to one of the registered immigration advisors to be on ...

I have been looking at the questions and they are all trivial and so many bloody numbers one need to remember. This sounds more like an exam on british history. I failed the first time because I focused more on cramming the question and answer bit of the book without even opening the main book. So ...

Hi, I think the date which matters is the first application date of the first Tier-1, as you are given a Tier-1 before 6th Apr 2010, this should not impact you. In my case, I got first tier1 in 2008 as well and Im going with rules before 6th Apr 2010 and claiming 45 points for above 40K earnings im ...

Hi

Did you receive your Tier 1 General before 6th of April 2010?

Thanks
