Thanks a lot for listening and answering.

Thx!!

I know, it's far but i'm so anxious!! So here it goes : What should b...

Hi again, Thanks both for your replies. I saw it here : http://www.workpermit.com/news/2012-02-02/uk/changes-to-uk-immigration-english-test-for-tier-1-2-and-4-applicants.htm "Beginning 6 April 2012 the UK Border Agency (UKBA) will require all applicants applying to remain in the UK under Tier 1...

Hello Guys, I need some advice as I'm really confused big time. I got my work permit back in 2007. Wife successfully joined me in 2008. We're about to take our Life in the UK test next week. Now i just read on the UK Immigration site, that there's a new law starting feb 6th that will require ALL app...

I would call the embassy first and ask them to re-check the bank statements and review their decision and if they dont want to know, will go for an appeal WITH a cover letter. It takes time, but if all is genuine, it will work, for sure. NEVER EVER give up, NEVER!!

Hi, that's a good question i would need expert answer on. Is the UK Immigration Law Retroactive?? IE : I'm currently on a 5 year work permit due to expire in 2012. Let's say (with the elections, for example), the law changes and they say : Work permit holders now do not qualify for ILR, would that a...

Indeed. You're the man!! Thx

Thanks for this quick reply. So if i understand properly : I, being on a work permit, can my wife(dependant) be self employed?? Can she freely set up a legitimate company?
Any sources, (internet link etc...) of how to do so? This would be of huge help.

Hi all, is there a timeline after the visa has been issued to depart FOR the UK?? I heard it was 3 months otherwise the visa becomes invalid, but my borther just told me it was 28 days????? I'm confused!! Any help??

Hi, just read your post. Well one thing i would advise you to do is don't mess things up. Dont show the embassy that you want to return to the UK at any cost. Keep it cool and take your time. Define which type of visa you need and apply STEP BY STEP. Make sure you get all the relevant documentation ...

Hi SUmmer, just read your post and would liek to let you know that it doesn't matter how many times u've been refused, you can still get a visa. However, if the reasons why u've been refused do not change, then u'll obviously be refused again; but from what they've told her, it looks pretty positive...

LOL

Hi ricky,

Indeed the application should be made such in a way they havent got anything to ask.

Is there a way I can appeal in case I am being refused??

Note : i have 2 refusals and...

Hi, my FLR as a working holiday (given 6months but need more) has just been declined. What do you advise me to do? My lawyers said i should either appeal (which will be expensive and long) or send them a letter to review but in case i send a letter and they say "no", then it's no forever. ...

Hi there, thanks SO MUCH for ur answers, but, the thing is that i know and it's obvious that after u've been granted your 2 years WHV, you cannot extend it; but what if you only got granted 6 moths after the aappeal. I mean, is there a way to extend it while in the uk, to make it fill the 1 and 1/2 ...
