HI RUKSANA THANKS A LOTS FOR HELPING US UPLOADING ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ALSO I AM LOOKING FURTHER TO MAKE A VIDEOS ON DOCUMENT NEEDED AND THE PROCEDURE FOR BRITISH PASSPORT BRIEFLY TIA
Hiya, glad you like the video. I haven’t looked in to British citizenship yet. I know you can apply as soon as receiving the ILR but that’s all I know so far. I will be uploading videos on that once we make the application.
❤❤❤❤
😄
Hi, Ruksana. Thank you for the videos, really appreciate it. How did you calculate the 5 year period: from the day of original entry to the UK or from the start date of the entrance month visa? When did you hand the application in - straight after the last day of the 5y period?
Have u had any response would like to know answer
Hi, apologies for the late reply. Not sure if you still want to know but you can apply as soon as the applicant has been in the UK for 5 years after entry. We applied within 28 days of the BRP card expiry just to be not he safe side.
Great useful video, thank you so much. I wanted to ask you a question in private if I'm able to?
Thank you! No I’ve not got anywhere private unfortunately
Hi Ruksana what set did you used for your husband’s ILR application? Is it set M or set O? I’m a bit confused what to use at the moment.
Hi, we used set M, I am not sure who set O is for.
Hi, In your case how long did it take for your ILR process after biometric appointment. Please reply. Thank you
Hi, I think it took 2 months for us to hear back about the ILR
Hi ruksana, thank you for the uploads! We couldn't have done my husbands 1st spouse visa and the second one without your help! Now we are due to apply for the 3rd one in June! Does my husband have to do another English test again? X
Not if you already have an English qualification at B1 (or an educational Degree taught in English) . The requirements are here: .www.gov.uk/english-language#:~:text=researched%20in%20English-,Overview,B2%2C%20C1%20or%20C2%20level
Hi, aww I’m glad I’ve been able to help you through your husbands visa journey 😊. If your husband took the B1 test for his first or the extension application then he’ll be able to use that certificate again for ILR. If not then yes, he’ll need to do the B1.
Hey Ruks, Did you upload the documents on UKVCAS like last time for FLR by yourself?
Hi yes, I did. I’ve been really bad with getting my videos up. I’m going to upload the video on the ILR one this weekend but it’s pretty much exactly the same.
@@RuksanaAhmedhey Ruksana, quick question. I've been in the UK 5 years now and had been out of the country 2022 ( one month) and 2023 ( one month ) . Does this mean I should wait 2 more months before applying for the Ilr or its fine ?
Nope. It’s fine. You are still within the limits to be able to apply as normal
@@RuksanaAhmed your 3 weeks late 😆
Hi. I’m getting ready to complete the ILR. How long should you submit before the deadline/expiration of Biometric card?
If the card expires April 20th when is the best time to submit the application for ILR?
Hi, apologies for the late reply. I guess my reply is no use to you now but I have mentioned the timeframe in a number of my videos. 28 days before BRP card expiry is when you can submit, up to the date of expiry.
Hi can I book the biometric appointment first before submitting the ILR application for my husband?
Hi, no you can only book it after you have done the form and paid the fees
Hi ruksanna how did u work out when to apply 4 ILR did u use the first entry date on passport
You can Google ILR calculator and work out everything there
Hi, apologies for the late reply. You can apply as soon as the applicant has been in the UK for 5 years since the date of entry or you can apply within 28 days of the BRP card expiring. 5 years usually comes sooner than waiting for BRP card expiry.
Hi Ruksana, Do they keep your passport when going for your biometric appointment for ILR??? Please reply
No
Hi, sorry for the late reply but I can see you have already received an answer ☺️
Thank you for the video sister.
In terms of showing how your spouse is integrating into the country, how would a home maker, taking care of the kids that does not have a job show this?
Aww no worries.
I suppose it is much harder for someone in that situation. Maybe they are integrating by joining an English class, meeting friends there, improving on the language? Any groups they've joined. Integrating into British family life? With the sponsors family? It really is a hard one if the applicant is not doing anything outside of the home.
Hello Ruksana , I hope you are well your video is always help for me , I just need to ask u am aware about immigration fees , can u please tell me is any other NHS fees for this category???? Am filling my application & I already passed Life in Uk test , now which English test I will have to pass ???
Hi, apologies for the late reply. I am not sure if you need me to answer these questions anymore but the ILR application was £2404 when we applied (this is shown at the end of my application walkthrough video czcams.com/video/Zy66v2D02LY/video.html).
There is no IHS fees for the ILR application and you will need IELTS B1 to pass the English requirement.
Hi Ruksana, i have applied for a extension visa in september and got an email in november stating it may take longer then usual. Its been a few months i wanted to ask how long did it take you to get the exention visa and who i can call to ask about this ?
Hi, sorry to hear that you hadn't heard back from the home office, hopefully you have now. It took is 8 weeks before we heard back. That is how long they say a standard application decision is made. The email they send out is automated so it's not anything to worry about, it just buys them more time. Please have a look in my description box, there may be a link there on contacting UKVI, I am not sure if that is still available.
Hello Rukshana.. how are you.? You videos were so helpful were I used as reference to process my partner.. just to know I know you have submitted your husband ILR application, have you received the ILR or still waiting.? Usually received atleast in 2 months time. I know you would put a new video about the outcome but haven’t seen one coming so far. So just curious. Thanks
Hi, sorry I don’t put a video up on the outcome this time but yes, he has received it. We got it after 2 months. We have now applied for citizenship which I will upload the video for this week
@@RuksanaAhmed Thanks for your response.
Hi ruksanna where did ur husbad take his life in uk test was it at luton
Hi, no he took it in Sheffield which is where we live.
Hi Ruksana thank you for the video which will be a great help with my wife’s ILR application .
I would just like to ask your opinion about immigration and now that the gross salary has been increased to £38K approx do you think this is a good thing to stop the ever increasing number of immigrants arriving?
Hi, I understand that there are a lot of immigrants coming into the UK but I do feel this is an unfair increase. For many years now it has been £18,600 and a lot have struggled to even meet that. The increase is now £29k which I still think is quite high, especially when applying for the initial visa as it’s only one income. I feel like genuine couples are being penalised for wanting to live together. I do think it will discourage a lot of people to marry abroad or at least make them think twice.
Hi Ruksana. When should i pay the fees and book biometric appointment before the deadline of BRP? I am bit confused. Can you please help me
Yes, please pay fees before the brp card expires. I’d also book the appointment then too. You can book the appointment up to 2 months after but which point your brp card will expire but as long as you’ve paid the feee, submitted the forms and booked in before the expiry. You’ll be fine
@@RuksanaAhmed thankyou so much! My another confusion please,
My partner has 2 passport, renewed one is on 2024
1.Should i need to submit both? As travel histories are on old passport.
2.Should i submit all pages of passport?
It would be highly appreciated if you reply me asap🥹
And how many utility bills should i submit?
What address should the letter for employer be addressed to please?
It doesn’t need to be addressed to anywhere as it’s not being posted
Hi ruksana,10 years route family and private life sececd time extraction after four months but New baby age 1 year Didn't apply for her can I added same my application, please let me know ❤
Hi, apologies for the late reply. I’m a little confused at what you said in the beginning. If the baby is yours and your sponsors and one of you is a British citizen then I think that also makes the baby a British citizen so does not need to be included in the application
Ruksana do we use same b1 certificate for ILR or do we do the test again to get new certificate
Use the B1 Certificate. It is the minimum standard required for ILR. The requirements are here: www.gov.uk/english-language#:~:text=researched%20in%20English-,Overview,B2%2C%20C1%20or%20C2%20level
@@Error_404_Not_Found_timed_out_ the same b1 or do test again to get another one
@@user-hw1rn2yn8iThe same one. No need to obtain another.
she already mentioned in another video that they used the old one @@user-hw1rn2yn8i

Thanks Ruksana, for all these videos i did apply ILR online by super priority service and got result within 4 hours after biometric appointment it’s all b/c your videos motivate me to do by myself thanks again for save my £800 solicitors fees ❤ god bless you and your family 😇
How did you get priority service?
@@aishahamid3572 You have to pay for it. We used the priority service for my husband’s FLR application a few years ago and got the outcome on the same day. We plan to use the service again for his ILR app next month in sha Allah.
@@aishahamid3572 you have to check at midnight so you will definitely get priority service option
Aww that’s amazing to hear 😁😁😁!! Congratulations to you both!! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations 🥳 How much does it cost the priority service?
