application form - list of upcoming updates...

Post by arsenal49 » Tue Jan 12, 2016 12:20 pm

Hi,

Is there a document published by Home Office, which details upcoming updates to the application form and likely date of publish.

For example,

the current AN form was published in October 2015. I am wondering if there is likely to be a new form before end of February which is when i am going to be applying by.

Also, similarly is there a pattern when they issue these forms. For example when was the version of AN form before Oct 215 was published and so on.

many thanks

If the form is changed, it will likely only be w.e.f. 6th April 2016 when the new fees come in.

Yes :), I'm not quite sure what's been updated. But it appears to coincide with them publishing the indicative fee increase in April. At the moment the form, guidance & booklet all have different publication dates. Best to watch the site to see if they are all updated over the next few weeks. I remember I filled 3 versions of the form last year, because it kept changing :).

I've just spotted on change on page 25, after doing a quick scan. They have added the requirement to return the ILR biometric residence permit within 5 days of attending the ceremony. So it looks like they will be informing all new applicants about this change through the new form.
