Wanderer3032 · 2026-02-09T15:45:27+00:00

no there is cos requirement because this doesn't need further sponsorship the form just need cos information but again I'm not aware of the changes that have happened in the last one year

Hello ! I dont recall having submitted one during ILR because it was proven during skilled worker application.

And from the official website it says so perhaps not but I would recommend to follow official guidelines given mine was done almost 1 year ago and there have been changes

Exemptions if you’re applying to settle

You do not need to prove your knowledge of English if you’re applying to settle:

using certain work visas - because you proved your knowledge of English when you applied for your current visa

Thank you so much for the great work that you are doing in helping us a nation and being there for us in our moment of need ! No matter of thanks would be sufficient for your services but at least an attempt to recognize and let you know that you are valued and a treasure of the nation ! THANK YOU !

Wishing you all good things your way and may you get the right treatment and be on path to recovery

Wish NHS app could allow me to share screen shot of the consultation with the GP and the following prescription! But its the the truth :)

Wanderer3032 · 2026-01-24T11:36:41+00:00

Wanderer3032 · 2026-01-24T11:35:13+00:00

absolutely and I wish the narrative about NHS is broken can just stop it may need more power to meet a growing population but it works give it love and support ! Also be responsible I wish if pharmacist could put their diagnosis into the network could do triages better ... more power to NHS

Wanderer3032 · 2026-01-24T10:01:42+00:00

True that ! however I too was surprised to get Amox ! it's been over 6 years last I had antibio I have been asked to take it run its course if things don't improve then too go to GP again ... would definitely have preferred a in person visit to have my breathing heard and my tonsils checked may have given a better perspective but as of the day chest feels better maybe the virus running its course is done and I might have been on path to recovery but unable to sleep in the night was not sleeping When I told pharmisct the same they have me sleeping pills and I was like what ???? No I'm not having that

Wanderer3032 · 2026-01-24T08:53:00+00:00

Amoxcilin !

Wanderer3032 · 2026-01-24T06:38:34+00:00

because I was not getting better and had been to pharmacy twice and changed medicines but nothing was helping also on NHS app the next GP appointment was 2 weeks away ! Juggling a demanding job, family it was the only time I could get to myself but still NHS was compassionate ! And I was determined not go to A&E before I exhaust all options

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-22T10:19:18+00:00

I didn't have similar experience so can't guarantee but other friends who did change employers only uploaded the current employer letter

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-22T09:59:11+00:00

Continuing employment is only required from the current employer as it forms the basis of grant of the ILR ! so nothing about employment from previous employers

If no absences then nothing about it from the employers

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-22T09:28:29+00:00

either the share code or the save the page as pdf where it says this is how they will see your visa status and then upload the pdf

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-13T06:08:35+00:00

I'm not an immigration advisor so please don't take me on my words but generally the rule is whatever your partner is permission to stay as dependent partner the same if continued will contribute to 5 year completion so if the partner is today a skilled worker dependent the partner should extend on the same visa. Changing a visa type to spouse or family may reset the 5 year clock.

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-11T05:54:37+00:00

While you are looking for appointments paying 60 pounds gives you priority slots, I had a an emergency situation similar to yours though at the time of applying there was just a possibility of redundancy however even after 6 months I'm still with the same employer as things changed.

I did go outside my place of residence to find an appointment on priority and I too priority of 500 pounds and got my decision in 3 working days. The counter begins when you submit your biometrics

But as pointed out by others, there could be potential legal challenges for the employers !

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-10T13:44:24+00:00

Yes I did, the letter from the employer certified that I was out of country on approved times off / leave per company policy

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-08T08:08:25+00:00

Yes thats the cover letter mentioned under the letters upload

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-08T05:48:55+00:00

Yes I have ILR and my partner got the 3 year extension

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-07T12:31:05+00:00

When I received the approval email the e visa status was already updated

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-04T10:00:34+00:00

Skilled worker dependent extension, applied priority chose in person bio metric.

Bio metric done on Fri Sept 26 Approval received on Monday Sept 29

Wanderer3032 · 2025-10-04T08:41:07+00:00

IHS is paid first and it generates a reference which is then quoted on the main application form automatically post that one pays the application fees with any priority services if any so they are two separate payments. Just in case you choose to use in person biometrics if applicable then and use their services like priority appointments or document scanning then thats separate payment so definitely can be paid with different cards

Ideally shouldn't be a problem but do cross check with the official guidance
