Sorry and apologies i did read it back and it did sound confusing.

I applied in May 2020 online application. I could not then book biometrics because of Covid19 i have just been invited to do biometrics and upload docs. I had everything in plan but lost my bank statements anf cant find them. Therefore i am using the ones from online issue date is in June 2020 after the application date will that be a problem?

Also i meant as in delaying doing biometrics and sending docs through the App so we can travel and come back and complete the application? As we didnt get an email to say complete it before a particular date.

Also will it be a problem if unable to provide corrospondent letters in same month for one of the months. In 2019 i have got Jan docs for both of us but can only find Aug for partner and sept for myself no other docs will that be okay?

Sorry and thanks hope that makes sense?

Lamakinde:
Same here, no response other than the mail sent exactly the same time I got the invite which only apologized and told me to quote a number in case i want to trace my documents.

Thanks, your employer can't tell you to stop work because your status remains the same as long as you apply before the expiry of your visa. It is wrong. All I was told is that if it is not out in six months then they will have to do another check with Homeoffice.

Congrats, dear!

Did your employer tell you to stop working when your visa expired?

Mine is telling me they don’t let me work until I get an outcome of my visa (a visa that I can’t even submit an application for until Nov 10 because it’s expiring Dec 10).

Ridiculous!

Hi @lamakinde

Is it right to be charged 1560 for the IHS of the flr(m) visa?

The same website says that it’s 400 per year. And the flr(m) is for 2.5 (right?), so I expected that I would pay £1000, not this £1560 that I’m seeing.

deebaby05:
The IHS was increased from £400 a year to £624 from October 2020 so for 2.5 years, it's £1560. Really sad but can we refuse to pay? Take heart, it's well.

Aphrodite007:


As in! Home Office just sat down and said, “let’s milk the immigrants dry! Even though most of them have lost their jobs. If they can’t afford it, they should go back!”



Thanks love. I figured out that was what happened. It is well.

deebaby05:
Thank God we are hardworking people and don't give up easily so will always disappoint them. We are here to stay and give our kids a better life and not their fault, abi, na our country with very bad uncaring, wicked leaders cause am. Meanwhile na we dey work the work for here pass. corona or not. Immigrants full the health sector. You know they promised Health workers 1 years free visa extension? Well it was kind of a scam cos they still said a lot of people were not eligible quoting some silly reasons, they only planned to give just 3000 people the free extension and once they reach that number, no more.

Increasing the IHS just like that even with the current situation of cut hours, no jobs was not fair at all, very insensitive. My saving Grace was that i applied b4 the increase, how i for do with 3 children, that means extra £2,240 ontop £8,208 plus paid appointment £276. This people dey actually milk us, all we work, na for dem pocket. It is well ooo my dear. Tkia

deebaby05:
Funny thing happened to me... visa was to expire 24th August, i applied for myself and 3 kids a week before but couldn't get an appointment till September 23rd and this was paid for, so ontop of the huge amount £8.2k, added £276 for paid appointment, no problem, God dey. You won't believe, not up to 3 weeks later, we got 3 BRPs in the mail dated 7th October instead of 4 BRPs. Really fast and no decision letter or mail as others received but i noticed that the validity on the BRPs was 42 months instead of 30 months making my route 6yrs+ instead of 5 years. I was shocked so i sent a mail to the email provided if there's issue with BRP validity and reply was that we don't fall under the category for Administrative review and gave me number to call, called the number and the lady said, the extra 12 months on my validity doesn't matter, that i could choose to apply for ILR when i complete 5 years or b4 the validity expires which could give me time to save and i also asked about my daughters missing BRP. She said it will come, that though we applied as a family, they are treated individually.

Aphrodite007:

Ridiculous!

dustydee:

I think it is 28 days before so yours should be by Nov 12. I know of someone who was denied for applying for ILR a day earlier.

dustydee:

Just curious, how does the 42 month validity instead of 30 months make your route 6yrs instead of 5yrs?

dustydee:

I think it is 28 days before so yours should be by Nov 12. I know of someone who was denied for applying for ILR a day earlier.

Bourne007:
The caseworker harsh die. A friend submitted 2 weeks or so early. The caseworker held on to his application till his ILR complete. The rule is 28 days so I think he got lucky

dustydee:

Despite the protestations, the case worker refused to budge.

Monmarri:
Hello house if one has an indenfite leave to remain and wants to apply for Spouse visa but the person Nigeria passport has expired, can the person still use the passport data page to apply or is it compulsory to renew it for the visa application. Will it cause a refusal? Thank you

Aphrodite007:


Yes it will cause a refusal. And yes they must apply with a valid visa.

They have to apply for a new passport.

Monmarri:


Thank you. But do you know how long the passport process takes in the UK to be renewed and how much? Thank you

Aphrodite007:


I think she just assumed that they expected her to exhaust the 42 months before applying for the ILR. Someone explained to her that she just has to do her 60 months to make the ILR application, irrespective of the extra 11 months they dashed her.

Lamakinde:
Thanks. I just received the BRP card today. Yours will surely come.

tayeby78:
Got the decion letter today that it has been granted. Applied in July with the documents stated on this thread. Hubby and I wrote a letter each stating how our lives have changed in the last 2.5 years. You guys are doing a great job with this thread. Thanks for everyone that has contributed. Yall are the real MVP!!!
Please can someone point us in the direction of ILR so we can start collating evidence again ejo. Thanks in advance
