hello Bro Khalid and Maruf,

It was nice to read your discussion taken place few months ago, are you both still available on this website as I'd like to ask few questions!

Awaiting for your reply.

Thanks

Salam brother, I am in the same situation as you but I will apply in Dec 2014. Can you tell me what you meant by "6 letters to you and your partner"? Does it mean you utility bills?

How many months bank statements and pay slips are required and is it for both? In my situation I am the only one working and how much minimum balance in bank is required. We do not have any children.

There are New Rules as far as ILR immigration goes. Discuss the case with Fusco Browne. They understand your immigration problem pretty well!

alsalamo alikom  khaled my case same yours and will apply in December in shaa allah I wish we keep touch . but I don't know how to send my number to u . cuz im worried also to extand my spouse visa so I need to speak to u or anybody here thanks khaled waiting for u answer

Hi, I came to uk at the date of 15/12/12 with spouse visa. I got 27 months visa which started from 09/10/12 and will expired at 09/01/15. So, when I can apply for ILR. It is after 11/12/14 or 11/09/14. Thank you

Muhammad, you can apply for ILR 28 days before your visa expires. That would be  anytime after the 12th Dec' 2014. Hope this will help you. Look for me on Facebook under ILR group. Cheers.

I'm afraid there's a confusion on how the expiry date classified as.  I have just done my ILR few months ago and before I applied for it, I check with the officers at Home Office.  I was told the expiry date is the date I landed in the UK, not the expiry date on the visa.  So, On Muhammad's case, he should be able to apply the ILR 28 days before 15/12.  

FYI, my visa expiry date is end of Oct, but I land in the UK end of July 2012, so I could applied my ILR in early July (which I did). So, I'm pretty sure this is the right answer for Muhammad's case.

HO say one must apply 28 days before the visa expires. So if his visa is expiring on the 9-01-15 the he can apply like I said anytime around the 15th Dec give or take a few days. It will take home office six months to process ILR application. I sent in my application on the 12-05-14 and is till waiting to get my approval letter.

Thx's

Yes the applicant should apply for the ILR 28 days before the expiry date.  But I think Muhammad is asking when is the earliest date he can apply.  As he entered in the UK on 15 Dec 2012 so the earliest date for him to apply is 17 Nov.

I sent in my application in early July though my visa expiry date is end of October but I got my BRP last week.

Hi,Also i am going to apply ILR and i am thinking to apply by post or by same day service,guys which is best,could you share your experience ,Daisy Hill as you written  You send your document by Post and got visa around 2 month period (early july to BRP early sept) including all processing. i heard most of case visa processing time around 4 month,so guys which is best method for apply ILR.

Hi kr,

I don't know why my application had been processed so quick to be honest.  I think my case is very very straight forward - no kids, not claiming any allowance or benefits, both me and my husband has a job.  I provided all the supporting documents they need.  For me it's simpler than applying the spouse visa.  So I'm afraid I can't really tell which route is the best for you to apply ILR.  But by my own experience, if you think your case is straight forward, don't waste the £400 for premium service unless you really really want to get it done in a day (I know they don't accept some complicate case too, you're better to check on the cover sheet in what circumstance you can use the premium service).

I know my answer may not help you much, anyway I hope it still helps.

hi there
i am on spouse visa, my husband and my 2 kids are british citizen I was granted spouse visa on 15th Dec2 012 and i applied before 9th July 2012.
