It this is true then it would be prospective and not retropective as it does not favour HO.

I plan for a holiday in India in couple of months probably will schedule it then

simar,

Thanks for sharing the information.
What is someone do not achieve band 6 in any 1 of those section. How soon can 1 reappear for IELTS. It is 3 months time or so....

abisurd, I am on WP. I qualified under the old rule and still qualify under the new rule. I have already completed nearly 3+ years as WP holders. So I can easily get the HSMP and file for ILR in 2008 InshaAllah But I dont want to see other fellow immigrant betrayed otherwise what is the difference b...

Tahir,

you should use the search facility before flooding the post with new question.
This has already been answered

I repeat use the search button and type 'IELTS'

Now don't ask the stupid question that "why did you come here?" The answer is "because you promised something good." Ask those people how will they feel when... ...they take their car to manufacturer for repair and were told "if you don't like our car why did you buy it?&qu...

Olisun, If govt thinks they have made a 'Mistake' then should the in country immigrant suffer for that. There is nothing stoping them to come up with more tighter rule or rather stop the new immigrant coming in the country at all. But passing on thier mistakes share on the in country immigrants is s...

I think that is an unfair comment considering the fact that there are some people who are qualified and have not been able to get a job in their area of qualification. Buntosanya, if you cannot get a job (perhaps it is not even a fault of yours), there is nothing to do in this country. You can only...

Has the bachelor degree need to be relevant to the profession. I am working in IT but my bachelors degree is in Commerce (specialing in finance). It this any reason to be worried about? I am sure lot of us may be in similar situation. What was the policy under the older rule? Appreciate your response.

Guys your voice is being heard by Asian media

UK takes it on deaf ears

Well done VBSI.

Apparently they just want your service and a FAT tax/NI to be fed to white rashes who claims thier benefits sourced from the TAXS

I am sorry to be rude but I know whats the inside story and could not resist disclosing it.

Guys stop getting surprised

Save it for Mar 2007, Mar 2008 and on........

This is how UK HO is .... accept it or go back home...

At least in country application can amalgate the WP + HSMP period for ILR. To qualify for settlement in the UK you must have spent a continuous period of five years in the UK in a category leading to settlement (please also see paragraph 105 of this guidance), except for short holidays or business t...

As I read irrespective of the language of your degree you still have to pass the IELTS exam.

Another question though, what about the existing WP holder will they have to pass this new scheme?

The sites not coming up.
Can anyone lay a rough break up of the new point system.

Very surprising.

Never heard of HSMP being approved and EC rejected because of such reason.

Have they given you the liberty to appeal, if not then its very unfortunate.

An in country applicant can apply as out of country applicant from his parent's address in home country also, they have no way to say it as false as long as he is claiming points only based on home country qualification & experience But still if one mentions In-Country caseworker is 100% sure t...

Do they not know if the applicant is In-Country or Out-Country.

Is it HR they contact or the manager named in the reference letter?

I am writing few things with 100% confidence regarding your questions HO only verifies documents of those applicants which are approved according to thier criteria, but they just need verification from countries like Paksitan where a lot of people use fake documents. How can you say that ? they may...

Except that I submitted in 2004. I agree with people on board it is not only how good your expereince letter is but also at case workers discretion.
