Your academic performance is completely irrelevant for this application.

No need to explain anything. No need to overthink this either.

Missing stamps on the passport is not an issue.

No need to provide anything else.

1. Correct
2. The work start date is irrelevant.

This is the last thing you need to worry about.

Settled, settlement and ILR mean the same, no issues with having any of those on the eVisa status.

I don't think UKVI use different names for ILR depending on the visa you had. Others might comment on this. Being "settled" means that you have ILR (or settlement). They use all these words interchangeably. The word they use on the eVisa portal shouldn't be a concern as long as the status ...

Settlement, Indefinite Leave to Remain and settled are all synonyms as you've read in other posts. No need to fix anything.

Proof of living in the UK is the passport(s) and stamped pages for the qualifying period. Nothing else is required.

PS: keep all the citizenship questions in one single post, no need to open a new one for every single question.

You're eligible for ILR under the GT route on your first work visa approval date + 3 years - 28 days. Your other post suggests that you already knew this.

The date you started working is less relevant.

Yes, she continues being a GT dependant and extend her visa under the same route even after you get ILR. does she need to start a new 5-year period as a partner of an ILR h ...

For someone else to pay they need to access your application and then be transferred to the payment portal. If you don't want the employer to do this, the only way is completing yourself everything and then they reimburse the money - provided they offer this option (some companies in the UK do ...

I would appreciate it if you could confirm whether there would be any issues with submitting the application now, approximately 2 months and 20 days before the current visa expiry date. There are no issues in submitting a visa extension application a few months before expiry date. It seems you ...

1. Yes, the letter from Ecctis confirming that the qualification meets the required standard and was taught in English can be used.

2. Your wife continues as Global Talent dependant until she is eligible for ILR. Further visa renewals are done as GT dependant, there is no such thing as ILR dependant.

• If I receive my ILR decision before travelling, is it safe to leave the UK even though my full 5-year stay completes during my travel? Yes, once the application has been approved you're free to travel. The time you've stayed in the UK is irrelevant. • Is there anything I should be aware of with th ...

If you submit your ILR application before 22nd July, the current rules will apply.

Before 22 July 2025, the rules in place under the Skilled Worker route remain the same. I think the situation depicted here has little to do with immigration but with internal company procedures. Nobody on the forum would be able to tell what is going on in their HR team. However, the general advice ...
