Applying ILR soon!!!!

[John_10]

Good morning everyone.

Congrats to those who succeed with their applications.

I have started gathering my papers for my ILR. I've been reading on the forum as regards ILR. I'm a bit confused about BRP and what it means. Do I need that before I apply my ILR?

My spouse visa runs out on 26th Sept. 2014. Is it the right time to apply my ILR on 1st of Sept. 2014? I will apply by personal in Liverpool.

I took my English Language Test in IELTS in the Phils before I applied my spouse visa. Is it still on the approved test centre?

Any advice will much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Well done UKFilipino Forum!!!!

BRP application is included in the ILR form. No need to worry about that.

You can apply ILR as long as your current visa hasn't run out yet.

IELTS is still in the approved list. As long as you have a grade of 4.0 or above in Speaking and Listening, your test certificate is acceptable even if it's already expired.

Good luck with your application!

Hi John&Maricris

How time flies. Can't believe it.

Hope all goes well with you ILR.

[sars_notd_virus]

Good luck

[John_10]

Thanks everyone, you're right Terpe time has gone quickly.

Can't believe it its time to apply for my ILR

[John_10]

Hello everyone, does anyone knows the latest form for ILR and how to pay for it?

I'm using premium service.

Thank you

[Michael Parnham]

Print off the latest dated Application, I believe you can pay by Cheque, Debit card or Credit card on the day you attend your appointment. We paid by cheque at the Checking service appointment, so I think you can do the same. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. You can always ask when you book your appointment!

[John_10]

Good morning everybody.

Could I ask you a question which Application Form to print for my ILR.

Is it Set(M) or Set(O)? I am really confused. We downloaded Set(O) and printed 75 pages.

But found on the government website that it might be Set(M). Please could someone confirm about the form.

Many thanks.

John & Maricris

If your married and came on a Spouse or Fiancée visa, then it's SET(M)

[John_10]

Hi Joebloggs.. yes I came here on a spouse visa.. Many thanks for your reply

[Michael Parnham]

Hi Joebloggs.. yes I came here on a spouse visa.. Many thanks for your reply

Still 75 pages!

Hi, I'm almost ready to apply for my ILR premium service. Documents sorted and started to filled in the form. What I would like to know is when do I pay for my biometric. Is it when I pay for my visa fee online or Is it separate time. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

[Michael Parnham]

Not sure but I think your Bio is done at the place of your Premium Service, if so I would have thought it was included in your fee. Someone who has used Premium Service will soon correct me if I'm wrong!

[jane2009]

Hi,
Good luck! You can pay it there Hun using debit visa! That's what we did before 4 years ago in Croydon xx

[John_10]

Many thanks for the reply. As we were reading the Guidance Notes it was talking about making a payment at the Post Office, so we thought two separate payments, but now realise that might be for postal entries. We are a bag of nerves - don't want to mess anything up.

Once again thanks.

Evening, we have headache filling SET(M) application form. Section 3 asks about children. My partner John has children from a previous relationship of a British wife. They are over 20 years of age. Do we have to include them in this Section 3?

Many thanks

NOT when John's children are over 18 years old, non~dependent and British Citizens.

Maricris ... I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you all the best with
your imminent ILR.

Good morning everyone. Many thanks for your replies

Hi, this is John and Maricris.

We are about to book an appointment online for Premium Service.

There is a question about the details: On my passport I'm using my single name. As I fill the appointment page should I use my single name as on my passport because at the end it asks for payment.

And on payments details I'm using my married name. Will this cause a conflict with the application?

Many thanks,
John & Maricris

[Terpe]

You'll need to make the application in the same name that appears in your passport.
Same as the biometrics permit which must be the same name as you passport.
You'll find a chance on the application to add any other names you are known by. Eg married name.

Payment can be made by any name.

[John_10]

Thanks a lot Terpe, it's been driving us insane all night. Very much appreciated

I will book my appointment now. Once again Terpe, thanks. If I ever bump in to you, I owe you a big drink

[John_10]

Goodmorning everyone. I booked my appointment last night premium service in Liverpool. Me and my husband confused about the question on payment details. It says How many other people do you want to book an appointment for? I answer 0 because I am the only one applying for my ILR and no dependent from me. Am I correct my answer? After I've done my payment took it out the money from my bank account £1493. And I received email on my phone confirming that the payment was made. My question is, on my email it says (including yourself) 1. I'm confused because I answer 0. Then I keep ringing this number 08706067766 in Liverpool and its call ended. Please I really need help.

Thanks a lot.

[Terpe]

Not sure of the exact amount for PEO but postal for main applicant would be just over £1000
Applicant and 1 other would be over £2000

Since you're paying extra for PEO I reckon that price looks about right

[John_10]

Hi Terpe, I'm just reading payment guidance it says Fee for each additional dependent £1093 but I don't have any dependent on me. I choose that amount. Then because I book a premium service there is additional of £400. So in total I paid £1493.

[John_10]

Many thanks everyone for your advice has been very stressful this past few days filling in the form applying on line. not sure if a mistake has been made and lose all that money. But everything is ok we think appointment for 10am Liverpool next Friday Paperwork sorted after looking at all the threads for info.

Many thank everyone would not have done all this without your help and guidance.
