Ok all.... let me give the outline and what finally worked for him You can work 9 months in the UK, and go to home country to pick up a contract for the remaining 3 months. Come back to the UK and then apply. The UK earnings will not have any uplift obviously, but as you were physically in the home ...
No ... he definitely wasnt in his home country as he was working here in the UK during the 12-month's period. What is baffling then is why did the Points Based Calculator apply the uplift ratios even though the 2 types of earnings were for exactly the same period? I suppose if the PBC had told him t...
Thanks for your input. I had read this as well as section 133 of the same guidance before coming online. The issue is that the work that generated the self employed earnings were physically undertaken in the home country not in the UK and the guy even had to go home to carry out some of the work's r...
Hi all, I am looking for advice for a colleague. He was initially granted T1 PSW visa from 27 Jan 2009 to 27 Jan 2011 and applied to switch into T1 General but was refused. He needs to earn 50k but seeing that he couldnt get that, he started a self employment in home country whilst also earning in t...
As already informed by John.... your wife can not apply with you as a family now unless you wait for her to complete her own 5 years. I am in the same scenario as you and can confirm that there is no shortcut other than this 1) Get your own naturalisation (after passing the citizenship test) 2) Once...
As mvent has already adviced, there is a way to appeal your case... as long as the evidences (for instance a bank statement that shows net salary being paid into it) EXISTED on the day you applied for your extension even if you did not send it along with your original extension application What you ...
If all other requirements for ILR has been met, then you can indeed apply for ILR around 11 January 2010 (28 days before your initial date of entry). What is important is for the HO to receive your application with a valid visa at the date of application, it doesnt have to cover you up to 07 Feb 201...
Hi push_hsmp, As the OP did not state when he entered the UK, we may not be able to ascertain if he has calculated the 28 days leaway before saying he needed 3 yrs and 7 days. nshar1, Can you post your inital date of entry to the UK? It is believed from your first post here that your visa was issued...
Couple of questions to the OP.... If you came into the UK in October 2008, how can you show payslip for August 2008? You didnt say what you are applying for? I presume (as most others will I believe) that you want to change from WP to Tier 1 (General). If so then in this case, I will suggest you put...
Hi all, I got a colleague (an african with dependants) who will like advice on how to go about an appeal for a Tier 1 extension (from HSMP) removal in which the main problem is submitting an online bank statement for the last month of the 12 months period as the bank statements didnt arrive in time....
You will need to plan it yourself as it all depends on the length of visa you have. If you have a visa for 2 years and will be studying full time for 1 year, you will have just the remaining 1 year to make up for extension. If however you have 3 years and will be studying for 1 year, you have 2 year...
You can apply as early as possible depending on your circumstances which may vary. I am currently on a 1+4+3 HSMP now! Dates - 22 Jul 2005 to 22 Jul 2006 22 Jul 2006 to 22 Jul 2010 07 Oct 2008 to 07 Oct 2011 Got initial 1 year from 22-Jul-2005 to 22-Jul-2006. Entered UK on 17-Sep-2005 (about 2 month...
Hello, I have a friend who needs help and I can not really answer her at the moment, so I am asking here in the forum. Situation is as below; She got married in her home country to a British Citizen (also same national as her). She was then issued a Spouse visa Entry clearance: 08 Nov 2004 to 08 Nov...
Another confirmation is my own case which is now HSMP 1+4+3. My +4 was supposed to end in July 2010 but will not be able to apply for ILR till August 2010, and with a newborn that I want to travel out with my wife and I, we decided to apply in September 2008 (applying 2 years ealier) and was given v...
I will advice the following... Send an email to Tier 1 Contact Centre and make enquiries specifically requesting that you need to have over 1 year leave remaining on your Tier 1 as employers are frowning at the fact that you have only 1 year left. Let them know you dont mind paying but need to confi...
As long as the baby is not going out of the country, you do not need to worry about getting the baby a visa right now. You can wait till you are ready to apply and then apply for your whole family at once (thereby saving much needed money). If however, your baby is travelling before you are applying...
Marbin, If both of us have valid Visa to live in UK, do i need to apply Tier1 for our baby again as a dependent or he/she dont need any visa becuase he/she will be living with us, born in UK and we have a valid visa. I know he/she need a valid passport. Another question is, If new born baby need to ...
All, Maybe I didnt explain my case well the first time but my timelines leaves a little to worry about and I have since sat down to plan it all. I will try to highlight it so you all can see why I chose my route. 22-Jul-2005 HSMP Entry Clearance stamp with 1 year validity 17-Sep-2005 Entry to UK 22-...
Mrs Khan, You and I seem to be in the same scenario. I am on 1+4 but at the end of my existing leave, I will be short by 1 month. As such I have decided to take the advantage of the points I can get now (due to age and current gross salary), and I will apply by September for Tier 1. I am hoping that...
