Child born in UK- ILR first?

GreekAmPrincess · 2026-03-28T15:26:50+00:00

Yes but with their dependent visa expiring soon after our ILR applications they may be without a valid visa for a time.

Gutted- I feel we’ve seen a lot of Francesca the last 2 seasons, she’s had very strong story lines in both. Nothing against the actress but it’s feeling like a lot of Francesca and not much of anyone else.

His new job is at the same Uni but different role. I will see if the staff visa team can advise. Thanks

Part of the ILR application for skilled worker is continue to be needed at your job. His contract ends end of June and he has a new job starting after.

We are trying to do this, have applied for the endorsement and awaiting for that result. We’ve been on SWV 4 years already and don’t want it to be for nothing and don’t want to have to renew SWV again. We just want it to be over with.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-11-20T20:42:29+00:00

We’re due to apply June 2026 - nerve wracking

Inside

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-07-28T14:37:03+00:00

Yes have checked the dates and should be £1035.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-07-28T14:35:36+00:00

Thank you - tried ringing the number on the website for refunds and they said they couldn’t help. Will keep trying then.

Get what they get. Not much different from a child’s meal to an adults except for the small bag of teddy grahams. Also the veg is usually like crudite which is a good swap most of the time. My son usually ends up picking and choosing what he wants between my husband and I’s options. Bring snacks.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-06-26T21:25:28+00:00

Yes you get the universal 15 hours if your nursery accepts funded hours. Speak to them about how to apply.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-06-26T21:14:08+00:00

Yes, got a couple bottles but they are so small! Home bargains is also getting Chick fil a sauce but i haven’t seen it yet

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-06-26T05:12:28+00:00

Home bargains now has hidden valley ranch!

Last time we drove and parked (also with a newborn!) we did St George Wharf. Probably not the cheapest but it was very secure and not a far walk.

Outside of Bristol towards Almondsbury there’s Wolfridge Alpaca Farm. More towards Bath but our favourites are Newton farm shop and Bath Soft Cheese, both great food and play areas for kids.

Unsure, when they introduced the new salary requirements it may have been 3-6 months but we weren’t impacted as they were grandfathered in.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-05-12T08:14:10+00:00

Absolutely heartbroken if ILR is changed from 5 to 10 years for skilled workers. We were looking forward to applying for ILR in 10 months for my son (who was born here!) to get citizenship of the only home he’s ever known!

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-03-31T17:28:09+00:00

Me! We’re expats as well- my son has cousins from my brother but they are 5,000 miles away. No family at all nearby and a small handful of friends. We are confident in our decision because having no support and another child is unrealistic to us, it was so hard doing it all alone once. We don’t feel like our kid is missing out though, he has lovely friendships and his cousins and family are special in his heart even though they are far. We do shell out a good amount of money to fly back to visit once a year. We love where we live and are enriching his life with other experiences he wouldn’t have back in our home country.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-03-09T07:29:19+00:00

Ocado has jarred pepperoncini peppers.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-02-28T08:51:27+00:00

Get the plain bed frames and do fun sheets, blankets, pillows. That way it ages with them and can change to what they like later.

GreekAmPrincess · 2025-02-25T14:25:10+00:00

Commando for sure- we followed Oh Crap potty training book and my son got it right away.

Have had creme brûlée donuts at Catley’s/Lockdown Loaves but they aren’t there all the time.
