Pls. advise me as I am looking at withdrawing my FLR application - and would be very grateful if you can point out any potential problems.

Thanks,

Hi Tnavon / Kayalami If you could be kind enough to confirm if my understanding is correct: 1. I am currently employed with employer A on a work permit 2. I have decided about 6 weeks back to join company B. Company B applied for a work permit which was approved immediately and my FLR is under consi...

Hi All, I am working on a work permit in an IT job. Recently I decided to join a new company and they applied for a work permit which was approved and I have applied for an FLR which is under consideration. Now I have been offered a very good position at BT (and they can wait for 6 weeks for the Hom...

I don't think we can submit an FLR application in person. I am also facing the same problem...and the new employer is even reconsidering employing me because of the inordinate delays in issuing the FLR and the callous nature of Home Office staff when contacted for an estimate on how long the issual ...

Hi All, This query is for a colleague of mine who has to apply for his visa extension (Work permit - B & C). His current visa expires on 05 August 2004. I understand that my company can apply for his work permit extension now itself but should time the application for FLR to be in the 5 weeks pr...

Many thanks Kayalami. Considering that the issual of FLR is taking upto 5 - 6 weeks time, I think the Home Office of late is allowing engineers granted a work permit to take up employment if they have leave to remain from their previous employment. I think this could be a new development. This is wh...

Dear All, I am (an Indian National) currently working in the UK on a work permit valid until Sep 2005. I have accepted a new job (but haven't yet joined) and the prospective new employer filed an application for a work permit which was approved for 24 months - and was also advised by Home Office to ...

Guys...could someone please advice

Hi Kay, 1. Yes, the change from visitor to work-permit did happen. It was probably because the husband's job is a shortage occupation (doctor). 2. The wife joined on a visitor visa after the workpermit application was filed (and before the work-permit was issued) Now can she change her status from v...

The visitor is an Indian National and is married to an Indian working on a work permit in the UK. Both the visitor and her husband visited UK on a visitor visa (sponsored by an Indian National). The husband has now secured a very well paid job and is working on a work permit. Can she change her visa...

Hi Guys,

I need advise on whether a person on a visitors visa can get converted to dependent visa in the UK itself i.e. without going back to the native country.

Many thanks!!

FLL, I think it shouldn't be a problem for an ILR - but would advise you too follow what Kay might have to say on this. But, you might be interested to know that an ex-colleague of mine who had a gap of 4 months between 2 jobs (he hadn't started work before the work permit was issued) didn't face an...

Thanks Kayalami. Both my parents are under 55 years - so I understand that they would have to wait for 10 more years to join me on an ILR status??!!

Hi Kayalami,

I would like to include my parents as my dependents in addition to my spouse when I apply for ILR. Could you please advise me if this is feasible - and if possible how I go about with it.

Thanks!!
