Respected gurus having such discussions always makes me go ** Picture removed by Moderator** I have booked The Life in the UK test for next Monday as there seems to be some confusion about it and I do not want to take any chances. What I am still confused about is whether I require a test for Englis...
Hi Guys , applying for my naturalisation, and had some questions. A cursory look into previous posts did not yield the info. Apologies if they have been answered before. 1) Submitted my Life in the Uk test report while applying for ILR Cant find it any more. Do I have to submit it with my applicatio...
Yes, these are Fixed Penalty Notices and there were/shall be no appearances in court. 3 points (due to bad tyre) received in August 2011. 3 points for taking an illegal u turn was received last night.
Hope that helps.
Hi guys,
Just received 3 points for taking a wrong U turn and already have 3 points (bad tyre) on my license. I am eligible to apply for nationality in 3 months. Would the points be a problem?
My status as of now is that I am on a tier 1 general visa (issued in dec 2009) due for renewal in april 2013 (my psw was valid till april 2010). I also complete my 10 years of legal, unbroken stay in october 2011. Assuming that we do not get any nasty surprises in july 2011, here is my question 1) I...
I have a bit of a strange predicament in my mind. I am currently on Tier 1 general but would like to pursue full time education for about 15 months. Would I have tochange my visa back to student visa or can I continue to study without changing my status?
Hi Guys, I am due to apply for my PR in Oct 2011 under 10 yr rule (6yr stu, 2yr psw, 2yr Tier1) and was wondering how would the new rules effect me. Are there any further clarification to the nature and the tenure of the community service and it`s comparative weight? Does Union involvement count (se...
My ten years of continuous stay complete in october 2011. How would the introduction of new laws in July 2011 affect me in getting ILR and eventually British Citizenship? Also, does anybody have anymore information on Community service (ie type of work,no of hours per week, for how long etc) ? Kind ...
Hi Guys, I am due to be eligible to apply for the ILR on the basis of Long Residence. I have a few questions that I need clarification on. I have heard a lot of things whose validity is in question and hence would like to get some informed opinions on this forum. 1) For the 10 year rule, assuming th...
Hi There, Is it true that being on the PSW sets your clock back to 0 for the long residence 10 year rule? A friend of mine has been in this country for 8 years and is currently on the IGS , planning to change into PSW. He has however been informed that doing so would set his clock back to 0. Is it t...
Hi Folks, In a bit of fix here. It so happens that I am on the PSW visa and a close friend of mine is on the Tier 1 General Visa. We have both managed to get admission in a prestigious school and want to start this August. My question is whether we can switch our visa status into a student visa from...
hi there, I seem to be in a precarious position. I completed my post graduate diploma earlier this year and was subsequently given IGS for a year this april. I have just come to know that my college has been shut down. Reasons are still unclear but rumour has it that it was also selling degrees to s...
Hi Kkuk, I was in a similar position in April this year. However anticipating this problem, I had decided to go in person to Croydon. The visa officer seemed to be quite confused about the whole thing and decided to grill me properly. He went through the dates quite meticulously and then asked for t...
Hi there, I came to the UK around 6 years ago on a tourist visa and have overstayed. I know that I should have left long ago but have not managed to do so. Now things have become quite complicated. I have found someone who I love and want to mary. Can I marry her here and do something about my illeg...
Hi there, I am a student who is going to apply for the PSW this month and have just realised, to my absolute horror , the 800 pound over three months clause. Having read some posts here, I have found out that things are different for HSMP extensions who have to just show 800 pounds anytime in the la...
Just trying to ascertain that the 10 yr naturalisation rule still applies and was not scrapped in the overhauling of the new tiers system. Last when I was checking posts over here, there was a lot of uncertainty about it. Any news???
My friend, who is now on an IGS wants to go back to further studies. He was wondering whether after finishing his masters could he apply for a second IGS/PWS?
Sorry victoria, I just checked your later mail. Am clear about the "will be" and "will not be" matter. Is it advisable to get my IGS done now and an extension at it`s end or would you suggest I wait for the changes to come trough.Cheers
Actually, the IGS will come under Tier one - Post Study Work - and will not be valid for two years. Fresh Talent Scotland is also swallowed up in this. Sorry, did you mean that IGS "shall not be"or IGS "shall now be"? Also is it prudent to wait for the changes to come in or is i...
Hi There, My friend has been living in the UK for 7 years and has just completed an MBA from one of the business schools that qualifies him for MBA HSMP. He is trying to balance the merits of applying for HSMP against IGS. He believes that if he took the IGS for a year and then converted it into an ...
