Hello,

I received my FIRST HSMP approval on 21st June 2006..But i need to know if i applied before 3rd April 2006 or not?I dont have the courier receipt on the date which was sent (i applied from India).

Any idea how to find this out?I hope that i had applied before 3rd April 2006

Thanks

Why cannot your employer send you to UK on Tier 1 ?
When you come to airport, you will be asked that why business Visa on Top if Tier 1 ?I think your latest visa overrides your ealrier visa..So your Tier 1 might get invalid..Wait for other members to reply though

Not paying NI is a trouble..I guess your co. has a tie up of not paying tax only for WP holders..U r not on WP...SO u have to pay NI..Else you will have trouble while extension...
Either enjoy benefits of WP(not paying tax) or Tier 1 (flexible employment),not both.

Well, looks like that ILR would be given after 7 years (not 5 years as it stands today).So every one has to apply for FLR at least twice to reach 7 years..So yes, you can extend you visa n no. of times till you reach ILR

You can apply for FLR n no. of times...Its not documented any where,but i know my friends who have done it...
Initially HSMP was given only for 2 years ,and then ILr was moved to 5 years,so my friends had to apply for FLr twice

Damn..increased the fees for FLR again. Can any 1 tell me ,if a child of age 3 years needs to ba paid for as dependent or he/she is considered as minor? In the latest fee structure, we need to pay 50 GBP for each dependent.But it is also mentioned for as a sub-note that after 2 minors ,you need to p...

Hmm..Please let us know your experience.

They would first take the payment and then check the files?
What if some of the papers are missing/they need additional proof, you have to visit again?

Well, you kep extending your visa(FLR) till you reach ILR..And mind you, you might have to do it 2-3 times as UK might increase the no. of ILR to 8-10 years .So considering that you get extenstion for 2/3 years ,you will have to extend it 4-5 times till you reach ILR(provided UK hasnt changed the ru...

While extending your visa,ILR it will be imp. that you have paid tax..Dont rely on your employer..

Well, they r saying that u need to apply for one more FLR..In my case they told me to send my Passports and they will extend my visa for 3 months ..Not sure if they would have done that when i would have sent my PP.. JUST DONT BOTHER,as i mentioned earlier ,they keep moving the goal post ,and you wi...

Well, no..but some what on simlar lines...

You wont get ILR after 5 years (by the time we reach there in 2012)..
So we will ANYWAY have to go for 1 more extension,having additional 3 months wouldnt help...

@ns 7,i am in the same boat as yours...

But i wont send the PP back ...I ahve heard that they r any way not going to give ILR after 5 years..So any ways, we have to apply for one more FLR...Your call though

Oh cool..

How did you contact them??And while sending the passport did you mention that you had talked to some one on phone ?

Would be great if you can give me the steps

Thanks
