Permanent Residency

Please pray for us today as we are driving to Dungannon to take a test called “Knowledge of Life in the UK”.  This is one step in the process of us applying for permanent residency in the UK.  After you have been in the UK for five years, you can apply for “indefinite leave to remain.”  To get approved you have to do several things:

1. Show you have sufficent knowledge of life in the UK by passing the test.
2. Show that you have been in the UK with no major absences for the last five years.
3. Show that there is still a need for you to continue in the country such as a letter from employer or in our case the churches here.
4. Show that you are financially able to sustain yourselve apart from government funds.
5. Pay, in our case, $1500 (970 pounds) for the appliation.

We can put in our application the beginning of June and hopefully we will get approved.  Thank you for your prayers.
