Hi Jake, I just wanted to thank you for posting this video and giving us a detailed step-by-step guide on how to apply for ILR. I followed your instructions down to the letter, and I'm happy to say that a few days ago, I received an email from the Home Office confirming that my ILR application has been successful!

I submitted my online application in early Feb, went for biometrics earlier this month, and got the email 12 days after that.

Thank you again and stay safe! Cheers from a fellow Filipino nurse in Manchester. x

I am my wife’s sponsor and was born in the U.K. What happened the the App the Home Office trialed during the Pandemic.Previously we went to a fast-track centre, but it seemed easier and quicker. I have filled out the form for I.L.R on the family route/10 year track. I need to get the information from Human Resources, regarding my proof of income and employment as a matter of urgency. So glad you have posted this instructional video, as it’s such a stressful time and expensive if applicants have to pay twice!

Hello Jake! First I want to say thank you so much for this video! It is a life saver (best one I have seen!!!) especially with an application like this that no one would want to mess up 😊 We will take all the help we can get! 

And of course for answering as many comments as possible even 2 years later after the video is posted!! You are an angel!

I just got two questions in case you know and got some time,

1. I got in the UK as a Tier 4 then moved to Tier 2. I am assuming all the requirements e.g. travel history, flight confirmations and when I entered the UK, only starts when I actually got my Tier 2? (ILR Applying after 5 years on Tier 2)

2. I had multiple employers in the last 5 years. I believe I should ask for an Absence Calendar from each of them, but only the certificate of employment on the recent one? Also I had to travel for work and/or work remotely mixing it up with the holiday, how can I specify this along with the absence calendar?

Very much appreciate any help or advice you can impart 😊

Hi Jake, interesting video. I am applying ILR as Spouse and thus SET M application. Just wondered if you can help me with the below questions:
I am applying for ILR VISA as Spouse of my husband who is a British citizen. He purchased a house in December 2020 and I live with him. I have been living with him since December 2017.

I got my BRP on 23rd of November and Entry clearance on 29th of November, I first arrived in UK on 6th of December 2017.

There are three questions which I need help from you to answer

Question 1
Do you own or rent your home?
Options are
Own
Rent
Neither own or rent

How much mortgage you pay each month?
If you do not have mortgage enter 0

Because of the matrimonial rights I have, should I answer I own the house. My husband pays all the mortgage and council tax bills. I do not pay the mortgage, so should I enter the mortgage amount my husband pays or should I enter 0.

The third question I need help is
How long have you lived in UK
The answer option is as below


For Set M ILR application of spouse the period required is 5 years. However you can apply the application 28 days before the date.

I had BRP issued on 23rd of November 2017, entry clearance on 29th of November 2017 and arrived UK on 6th of December 2017.

So which date should I consider for 5 years?

As it will be 4 years 11 months + 2weeks by the time I apply should I answer the question as below;

How long you have lived in UK as

5 years and 0 months
or
4 years and 11 months.

Greatly appreciate if you can help answer these questions.

Hi Jake! This is a very informative video :) I'm currently processing my ILR application, can I ask about the certificate of employment, does it have to have the SOC code? My employer did not include it in the letter so I'm wondering if I need to ask for a new one. Thank you!

[DilushaR]

Hi Jake, Thanks for your video. This is really helpful to understand the process. One question - I am currently in the process of filling out my online ILR application (Set O, 5-Year Route) but i haven't been prompted to include my 'Uniques Application Number' (previous BRP letter details you discussed at 7.34 Sec of the video) when i started the online ILR application. I am not sure if i have missed anything so appreciate if you can share any insights. Many thanks.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for the information. It’s really useful. I have a query about CoS? So do I need a new CoS from my employer for ILR application or I use my last CoS information for license number? I would really appreciate your response.

[pushpikasunimal]

thanks for the video jake, really helpful, do you think we would need a solicitor to apply for ILR ? in your opinion ?

[bjrn]

Hi Jake, great video. May I ask if there are other National Identification Cards applicable aside from the UMID? Thanks.

[gerryviedomingo]

Hi Jake. Thank you for all the informations. I will be applying for my ILR soon. I just want to double check coz you mentioned that you need to scan all the pages of your passport. Do I need to do that with all my old/expired passport? Thanking you in advance.

[tabishwasti]

Hi Jake. Very informative and helpful video. Could you please share a template for the employer letter?

[maehegamino]

Hi, Jake! I've been watching your vlogs about the ILR application and they have been so informative. Good job! :)

I just wanted to ask, my current BRP will be expiring on May 2022. And, I am already planning to apply for ILR around 2nd to the last week of April 2022 (according to the 28-day rule that you've mentioned in one of your vlogs as well). I know it would take at least 6 months for the Home Office to come up with a decision on my application (if I don't get it fast-tracked). What will happen if within those 6 months of waiting time, my current visa expires? Do I need to renew my current visa before it expires while I'm waiting? Thank you in advance. :)

[haneenhmidat]

Hi Jake,

Thanks fkr the great video. I have a question, what happens if I submit my application +28 days of my Tier 2 expiry date?

My visa expires on 14 July 2026, so is it compulsory to submit my application on 16 June 2026??? Or I can do it any time within 28 days?
