I know few friends who were waiting for FLR-FP results, all are waiting more than 10 months. They tried to chase up Home Office via their local MP, mostly they won't respond back. But for one they responded saying there is no standard processing time for FLR-FP, (Like 6 months for settlement applica...

Thanks, points noted. According to the Tier-2 General grounds for refusal the below guide lines are given What the rules require If a person or third party lies or makes a false statement in relation to their application, either orally or in writing you must consider refusing entry or leave to remai...

Thanks for the reply. 1. AR refused on 2nd of December 2. Yes its due to tax amendment 322-5 3. Employer is a A rated HO sponsor 4. Technically I was working for them until 2nd of December nearly 5 months, still they need a RLMT? someone told if you are already working then no need a RLMT.. 5. On AR...

Hi Guys, Need an urgent advice whether I can apply for Tier 2 General application after my refusal of my admin review refusal through Tier - 1 General under 322-5 Initial Tier 1 G Application - May 2016 Refusal letter received - 13th October AR Refusal - 02 December ( I missed the signed for deliver...

Thanks CR001

@Zimba88 Thanks for your prompt response. Just one last doubt.. Like you said after Jan2018 they will do checks, If they close the bank account will they give us the money or else they will confiscate since the account holder has any legal means to have an account? do you have any links, where we ca...

Hi Guys, Would like to get my doubts cleared after we applying for JR or in case JR get refused with no right of appeal. If any one has any idea please enlighten me on the below points. Thanks in advance! 1. Can we be able to drive? 2. Will our driving license will be suspended? 3. Right to live in ...

Count me in as well...maybe we should have a closed FB group so that we can discuss common issues there without any restrictions ..

Hi Screenprint, I'm in the similar confusion as well whether to add previous SA302's, Im gonna apply next month and I did amend my tax for 2010-2011 and I have amended documents with me. The issue here is since its 5 years old accounts HMRC doesn't amend the income details(Gross income, net income) ...

Dear ilr2016001, Im in the similar situation as well , I have send my amendments and waiting for it to be amended and planning to apply for my ILR in May 2016, hopefully by that time it should be amended. I have to pay more than 8k to HMRC as tax if it gt amended. So my question is if we have a paym...

Hi t1s2010, According to my knowledge , you must file self-assessment tax return every year if you are registered with HMRC as self employed, it doesnt matter whether you earn or didnt earn any single penny through self employment. You file the self assessment tax return form and in your self employ...

Hi Guys I have the similar doubt , I have never exceeded the 180 days per year in last 5 years,I'm both self-employed and Employed full-time, have been in and out of UK few times. Do I need to get a letter from each and every employers to prove that I'm on an annual holiday? (since I have been using...

Hi Bri2015, Sorry to hear your refusal. I think you got one option left. You should amend your previous tax return in writing to the HMRC asap and have a copy of that send to HO along with the accountant's letter explaining why the discrepancy happened. Its highly advisable if you could send all 5 y...

I think it refers to the start of the Tier 1 General ,because thats where this application is based. And absence period again covers the whole 5 yrs period of Tier 1 General ,if you have left the county for leisure ,official purposes you might wanna give evidence for that. The whole purpose of the a...

Well a sensible case worker would get the SA302 for both years and compare the total income and paid tax and cross check with HO records for the period which you have claimed the points for earnings. Your case is pretty straight forward. If you can get all past 5 yrs SA302 from HMRC attach it with t...

Yes they can't break down the expenses,but they may raise a point when your net income decreases. For example lets assume you are showing 30k as your earnings and claiming 20 points later when you file the tax return you have had few additional expenses of 2K now your net income will be 28 K not 30 ...

Hi rpsarangi, To make it simple if your are self-employed self assessment will be calculated April-April each year. But for HO you can claim earnings for 12 consecutive months earnings with in last 15 months, so your earning can fall into two tax years. According to my knowledge case worker can comp...

Thanks for the information. Personally I will not advise you to challenge the HO, because some candidates do fiddle with tax and plead guilty so the judge will rarely have mercy on them. So its better to go for a fresh application and also I believe for ILR we cant appeal against the refusal but we ...

hI sbhpbm, Sorry to hear about your friends refusal, but can you please clarify my below doubts so that we can have a vivid picture and advice accordingly. 1> Which previous application HO found out that there is mismatch in payable tax amount between HMRC & HO, is it the initial application or ...

Thanks hellonewhere, but the problem here in ILR applications are that there is no appealing rights even its rejected for wrong reasons , the candidate has to suffer. So paying all the tax doesn't mean that we will get the ILR, again if government changes and new rules brought to tighten ppl going t...

Hi guys thanks for the valuable advice , but It's common that doctors and accountants are there to keep the patients and clients in tense situation. Being honest nobody likes to pay tax even the big cooperate companies like Tesco , Amazon Starbucks do fiddle with tax , whether it is genuine income o...

Noted thanks CR001, Well few of my friends did applied for Tier-1 General in 2011 and claimed Salary+Self-employment for income and again in 2013 they did the same format and got the extension as well. But in the both cases they haven't paid the tax on the exact amount they claimed to HO.They amende...

Please refer the below paragraph from UKBA website. ''whether the business from which the earnings are claimed can be shown to exist and be lawfully and genuinely trading; verification of previous earnings claims with declarations made in respect of the applicant to other Government Departments, in...

Thanks Argus7 for the prompt reply. Also would like to hear any personal experiences as well if anyone out there had any F2F interviews for ILR applications and questions. Thanks

Hi Guys, I will be applying for my ILR soon , anyone who applied for ILR has received any letters from HO for an Genuine Income Test interview, I noticed some people who applied for Tier 1 General extensions have received them. But haven't seen any ILR applicants mentioning about it. PLEASE ADVICE. ...
