Hi all I just wanted to let you know that I have received indefinate leave to remain! Many many thanks to Char and Keano for the help on the forum and for countless other assisting me along the way. My appointment was last Wednesday and paid the old fee as I just made the cut off point of the new ...

Congrats mate...just wondering did you supply any bank statements and did you print form double sided or single page?

Thanks mate I did another form in case although probably didn't need to! Another stupid question...I've printed form double sided, will this be ok for my appointment?

Ok sorry yeah totally misinterpreted what you wrote! So I can still submit my old form even though it says from the 6th of April? Where does it say that?

I meant old form sorry I got confused! So I can use old form still if appointment is next week?

It's been 21 days since new form for me I think, I think I'll accept the typo I guess as its only the checklist? They can't really do much if it's a typo can they?

I agree but seeing as it's only the checklist and not the form I guess nothing has been updated since last months form?

Hi mate thanks for the heads up, I had last months form filled out for next weeks appointment! Quick question, on the checklist from page 75 it says form 03/2016 (last months form date) but the rest of the form says 04/2016, does this matter?

Ok thanks, I've been trying Sheffield but it's only within next 3 weeks, might have to go to solihull then to avoid the extra fees!

Hi all, I'm able to make my booking this week to be 42 days away from my planned date but I can't only book 4 weeks away? Is there any way I can book another way? If I wait another 3 weeks I might have to pay the new fees! Thanks.

Ahh got you. So I still write down all dates I've left and returned but half days out of the country won't be recorded. When it says reason for absence I've just said holiday and where and passport pages do I need to include days absent?

Really? Oops I've just included each day I left because it was stamped on passport as so!

Ahh ok so if I were away for a weekend leaving Saturday and returning Sunday I don't write that down? Or go away for a ferry day trip and return next day I don't record it? Thanks

Thanks! Sorry again but regarding 6.3 when it says what evidence has been provided to support the reasons for all absence from the U.K. Am I to leave this blank? When you calculate time spent out of the country do you start from the day you left the U.K (when passport was stamped) or the following ...

Ok I'm good to go then will let you know how I get on!

Ok thanks so I just write British consulate general Melbourne and address as above?

Ok! I've done a practice run for my application form, photocopied everything and placed it all in a divided folder. I have included: *6 months pay slips * 6 months bank statements and savings * Mine, my mothers and grandmothers birth certificates * Application form *LIUK Pass letter * Letter from ...

Great thanks guys!

Ah ok thanks so you just include the payment page email printed and leave blank? So I'll explain that it's blank because I've paid and show the payment form?

Hi all, thanks so much for all the support on here booking appointment next month! Quick question, when you book online for the same day appointment do you get charged? I see on the paper booking form that you have to supply your bank details again, just asking so you don't have to pay twice what do ...

Regarding absences do I just need to show my passport pages and my list of absences or do I need more proof?

Good news, but Do I still need to compile my list of absences though, even if there are only around 30 paid holidays days a year out of the u.k?

I've just realized I didn't clarify about letter from employer, I meant it was for recent absences...I have been there for two years do I need a letter from previous employers about holiday absences?

Quick question about the new fees...I'm applying for premium service in March, will I be paying for the current fees then as new fees apply in April?

Thanks so much Char appreciate all your help will post final list when booked and sorted.
