Hello Saamna
You don't need to provide Passport size pictures if you are applying through new service ( not sure about if you apply through old service though), when you submit the form it will ask you whether you want to use old service or the new one, i used new one for my mum's application. Booked the next working day appointment, through UKVCAS, (as all free free ones were taken so had to pay £100 to get out of hours appointment) then it even gives to the option to upload all the documents yourself or take them to the service point and they ll scan and upload it for you. ( i recommend taking all the relevant documents to service center anyway in case you might miss uploading any, even if you don`t they ll still give you till 10 pm if you ask them, to upload any more document after your appointment.) I HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS EVERYONE.
Just out of curiosity i wanted to know that have you got a travel document ? if yes ..then at the end of the online form where it asks you to submit documents
is it asking you to provide travel document issued by Pakistan ?(which it did in my mum's case and had to type a letter to explain that error on the online form)..just wondering what does it asks in the end now ?
Hi Coolstuff! Thank you for the detailed reply, to my surprise, it did not give me the option to chose between new and old service. Wonder why? So I suppose it's old then. What do I do in this case? How will I be sending the documents, and passport size pics?
In regards to the travel document, I never made any, the need never arose. So I just replied "No" to this. I do have an expired Pakistan passport, which they've asked me to submit along with any other valid passports ( which is not, in my case). For ur mum, any valid/invalid passports/travel documents submit all please.
Hey Saamna, thank you so much , i have already provided them with Mum's Travel document ( they don't keep originals now they ll just scan and return it back to you there and then) , &
once you have submitted the application on Gov website it ll give you the option to choose between the services..
Hello Coolstuff
What has happened to your application?
Hello London22
I applied for my Mum ILR set p on 20th January 2019 and still waiting for a positive reply hopefully we ll receive it during this week or next week. By the looks of the forum it seems that if we would have posted the documents instead of using the UKVI center it would have been a bit quicker
Below is the timeline so far ;
5 years limited leave expiry: 19/02/2019
Applied online for SET(P) ILR: 20/01/2019
Documents uploaded Sopra Steria UKVI service centre: 21/01/2019
Biometric submitted : 21/01/2019
Acknowledgement email: 21/012019
Status progress emails: - 20/02/2019 and 20/03/2019
Approval letter: - Still waiting
BRP recieved: - Still waiting
... I was half asleep when read the letter this morning and went back to sleep after reading "refugee on the card, thinking it's still to be decided " ...just went through the letter in detail..
got mine in 2 months too and was not even aware at all that not to renew it so send it with application with old passport got the same letter as you are saying. After that consulted 3 solicitors to make sure to be fine for naturalisation so far all of them said as long as it's not used you are fine. Will update as due for naturalisation next month. Anyway have a free life ahead.
