Thanks. Basically, I currently have a job (employer who applied for IED) and have received a 2nd job offer and want to take the 2nd offer up. I have not yet applied for my FLR based on WP-IED issed from Employer 1 as I have leave to remain to end of October. Is it too much of a gamble to wait for ne...
Could anyone tell me the process of changing employment after an IED has been issued and I have another job offer with a different employer. I am still with the employer who originally processed my work permit. I also wanted to find out when making an application for ILR, what is the maximum days I ...
Thanks Magsi, that makes a whole lot of sense. I was actually going to try and renew my passport before applying but if I get the full 5 years regardless , then i won't bother till '09.
Cheers for that, came back from holiday and found the IED done by my employer. So I get a full 5 years regardless of the expiry of my passport? The transfer to my new passport in 2009 would probably have a fee and it would be the remainder of the 5 years? Without being ahead of myself, I am also int...
Hi All, I hope I'm not duplicating a question that has been previously answered here. I have been a student in the UK on a normal Student Visa which ends at the end of October. I was successful with a job application and have also been forwarded my WP-IED letter and will be making an application for...
Hi Swan, Thanks for the post. thats quite encouraging. I assumed that the SEGS is a good way of getting you in the door with an employer because, as you said, its basically like a one year residence pemrit. I guess you had to explain that whereever you applied for though? Do you have to apply in the...
Very few people on the forum seem to share information about the SEGs scheme, not sure whether this is becuase no one knows much or aren't really responding to SEGs queries? Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on the SEGs visa and the process in obtaining it and experience post-obtainin...
Hey guys, thanks for your posts regarding the spain immigration etc. I went to spain for a week last week and didn't encounter any problems at all. The immigration guys were qute pleasant and do things quite quickly. Just a little feedback for those travelling in the future
I see your point Dawie, hence why I'm being cautious of how I use the visa. To your knowledge would it be a problem if the holiday booked with the french was for 2 days- then I went to france for that holiday. So a month after I have fulfilled the original trip for which the visa was issued, I then ...
Thanks raina, thats quite reassuring. I also thought it important to always first use the visa for the original intended purpose before travel elsewhere to avoid future hassles. will send a post when I get back to say how it went, not that I anticipate any problems
Thanks for your replies, yes I have a multiple entry schengen visa issued by the french embassy london. It is my second one from them and both times I have travelled to france (first visa Paris and the second visa Calais). I didn't use my first one to travel anywhere else within the schengen space s...
Hi guys, I got a schengen visa from the french embassy london and wanted to travel to spain as well. I have already been to france for the specified holiday and my schengen is still valid for another month or so. Could anyone share experiences in using a schengen for a second country and even better...
