ILR Appointment Re-Schedule Date

[arunkmajumdar]

Hi

We are a family of three
1. Husband - Tier 2 General Visa
2. Spouse - PBS Dependent
3. 2+ YO Child (born in the UK) - PBS Dependent

We have started applying for ILR for the adults in the family.
1. Booked Life in the UK Test (10 Mar)
2. Booked Premium Service at Croydon (20 Mar)

I have 2 basic questions before I get into the details
Q1 : our degrees are taught in India and we used a point based calculator earlier to obtain 10 points for that. Is this to be done by NARIC which is £150 service for each?
Q2 : For the premium service, will we get our passport and visas back on the date (20 Mar)? We have a week of Easter Holiday coming and we will be going out of the UK.

Thanks in advance.

Your wife, as a PBS Dependent, was not required to prove English for her dependent visa. She will need UK NARIC or an English test.

Q2 : For the premium service, will we get our passport and visas back on the date (20 Mar)? We have a week of Easter Holiday coming and we will be going out of the UK.

You get your documents and passport back on the day, if your application is successful. You do not get your Tier 2 BRP cards back. Your ILR BRP card is delivered by DX Couriers between 2 and 10 days after your appointment. You should not travel unless you have them.

she will or she won't?

Can I not request to keep the BRP and submit it again after Easter Holiday? May be a silly Qs.

[CR001]

No, as it becomes invalid once ILR is granted.

Either postpone your premium appointment till you return or reschedule your trip.

[arunkmajumdar]

Reschedule the appointment it has to be. Already invested more than £'000 on this Easter trip.

Regarding dependant ILR - just to clear she doesn't need an English Test or NARIC UK certification.

Thanks again.

Got it. Thanks.

Now another question - ILR is heavy investment which I am talking to my current employer to sponsor the cost. However I have now paid £5924 for premium services at Croydon. I will re-schedule the appointment from 20 Mar to early April. I understand there will be a revised fees after 6 April or so, when I re-schedule, will I have to excess additional fees (assuming fees will go us, again!) or since I paid this side of the April, I would be fine.

Thanks

PS - It is rip-off.

[CR001]

Your existing fees you have paid remain what you pay.

I am in T2 General visa with my 3rd sponsor.

1. T2 General - Sponsor 1 - Jan 2013 to Oct 2014
2. T2 General - Sponsor 2 - Oct 2014 to Apr 2017
3. T2 General - Current Sponsor - Apr 2017 to Jan 2019

A number of people telling me when I apply for new T2 General with sponsor, the 5 years clock gets reset so I am not eligible to apply now? I read it somewhere it is not the case and I can apply for ILR.

Am I wrong?

So someone tell you something and you believe? Just dont listen to people , read the guidance !!!!

You can have any sponsors throughout 5 yearrs. If your first Tier 2 was issues in Jan 2013 then you alreday completed 5 years in Jan 2018. Why have not you applied yet?

[arunkmajumdar]

I work in professional services and today my Advisory People Lead (a very Senior Partner) who leads the whole recruitment mentioned that she think it gets reset with every sponsors. She is the one who deals with Tier 2 visas and sponsorships every. I guess the experts are wrong, sometimes.

Thanks though.

Regarding not applying - part of it because
1. I am very lazy
2. We travel as a Family all the time
3. I travel for work all the time

However, this is good, booked the appointment today paying £5924 for 20 Mar which I need to re-schedule due to Easter Holiday travel. Apparently no April dates are available, yet.

Thanks again. I have started reading the guidance.

Hi

I currently booked a premium appointment at Croydon on 20 March. However need to travel for a week (24 Mar - 1 Apr) outside UK so need to re-schedule my appointment. When I am checking the website, I am not getting any dates in early April. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I am apply for the ILR along with my wife.

Do I need to fill up only one form or 2 forms for each of us?
Also does she need all documents like payslips, bank statements even applying as a dependant visa?

Thanks in advance.

[arunkmajumdar]

Thanks, finally got one for 4 April.

[CR001]

Assuming you are Tier 2 General and your spouse also qualifies for ILR with 5 years residence, it is ONE form for both of you, spouse as dependent.

[arunkmajumdar]

Yes, I am Tier 2 General, She is dependent. She doesn't need any payslips and bank statements and all then. Thanks

[arunkmajumdar]
