At 13:38 on January 21, 2011, Dave said…: Hey Gill I have been searching over on the other sites all week for you! wondering where you have been?? Haven't seen any posts for about a month or so. Then I remembered this site. Glad to see you are keeping your hand in, with the great advice and knowledge you give us, it is appreciated. Can I ask a question about CPV??? (your area of expertise) I submitted one for our wrinklies (onshore), and have came up against the "2 year settled period"- we have only got 18mths in on PR and have had a Invitation to comment letter from a CO- Requirement not met, not sure what to do now? we submitted at the application stage "evidence the sponsor" was settled, parents have got 28 days to comment. Any suggestions?? do we need a RMA? or is it a standard letter?? any views you have would be very much appreciated.
