I received a megistrate court order to pay for my TV licence for which TV licence authority accused me by mistake. I actually had my licence for the period they claimed I did not have. Because of changes of address I never received court summons. Upon reciveing final court order I produced my licenc...

Did you apply before fulfilling 12 months of ILR? What is the chance?

Many thanks

yes, i do, from 17 Aug 2007.

Thanks.

So when do you want to apply?/

Well, it looks like it is possible to apply after 9 months, so that makes it middle of may?

Thanks. I am not sure whether I can apply from abroad. Anybody got any previous experience regarding home secretary's discretion in this regard? ----------------------------- I will be going abroad for about 6 months.

I will be going abroad for about 6 months. If I don't get citizenship before that it will be difficult for me to complete the process e.g. attending the ceremony. Many thanks Going by the dates you mentioned it's only a couple of months to go before you can apply for naturalisation. Any particular r...

Hi! My naturalization is due on 7th November, 2008 based on my ILR granted on 7th Nov., 2007. I am not the spouse of any British Citizen. Home office guideline says they apply discretion (upto 3 months) regarding waiving immigration time restriction at the start of the 1 year ILR period if : ..... 1...

Hi!

Me my wife and daugther got ILR yesterday based HSMP. I have a 6 year old daugther who was born outside UK. She is now in year one. My my question is Whether we can apply for her UK citizenship directly or based on Home Secretory's discreation?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It was in person. Yes I was asked to pay after the caseworker confirmed that he would give me ILR. I think this is the benefit of applying in person.

And they ask you to pay after they look at the application? strange?

I successfully got ILR this morning under HSMP category. Staff are helpful and cooperative. Confirmed that me and my wife both passed life in the UK test.Asked me to provide 3 months bank statements, Life in the UK test certificate for me and my wife and Employers' letter (if any). After verifying i...

Thanks so much for advice. I can ask for my Bank statements which showed that I received contineous payments from my employer (including holiday pay). Will that proves that I did not stay longer abroad?

Thanks

Thanks for reply. Can you tell me how can I get those records? Who to contact with?

Hi! I am an hsmp -holder plannning to apply for ILR next month. During last 5 years I have been to holiday for 3 times.

I am in HSMP category and planning to apply for ILR next month based on self-employment income. My understanding is that someone is economically active to qualify for ILR. Can anyone has any idea how to prove that I am/was economically active as a self-employed.

Any experience? or advice?

Thanks

Hi! We can exchange email and share experiences. Thanks --------------------- I am a HSMP holder since Nov. 2002 planning to apply for ILR in October, 2007. I have been doing some contract works for last 5 years but not contineously and self-employed for last 1 year with limited success. Can you sha...

Hi! Thanks for comments. I have read the guidance. The rules only required to be economically active (unlike HSMP extension) for the last 5 years. I was economically active for the period. I have been lecturing in a UK public university, but the contract is only during session time. So, no doubt abo...

Two members of the hsmp forum succeded with their leave to remain appeals on the grounds of legitimate expectations and human rights. I hope these references are very relevant for 4 to 5 years rules change for ILR application.

As per previous case laws I think it is a good point for the judicial review submitted by Mr. Stephen Kong for retrospective ILR rules changes from 4 to 5 years. The lawyer have to show the HO's written commitment regarding qualifying period of 4 years for HSMP applicant.

You see Home Secretary used tricky words to answer the questions. He only mentioned HSMP -holders can complete their previous leave to remain and previous approval does not necessarily mean that they would get extension. He tried to explain that if HO decides to cancel someone's existing leave under...

I think it implies that if HC accepts the appeal HSMP doctors will be treated like local british citizens when their application will be processed, which the Department of Health previously declined to accept after last immigration rule change. Moreover, there are some other issues with the doctors'...

The legal team of Indian doctors are hopeful about their judicial review after today's hearing. "Our legal team has done an excellent and convincing performance in the court in the last couple of days.They have outperformed the DoH team in every aspect.But we are not going to get an immediate r...

Yes. it was for my 5th year extension.

I have completed (1+3) 4 years under hsmp on 12 Nov. 2006. Applied for extension using FLR(IED) under old rules on 10th Nov. The initial declaration by IND said old form would still be accepted until 4th Dec. But, after applying I saw that they gave another announcement ( on 10th) saying applicants ...
