I disagree. As the application for the new permit is with the Home Office and you have valid leave on your passport, then you are fine to remain here until the Home Office finish with the WP application. The only time you would need to worry would be if the current visa expires or if the Home Office...
You are going to have to look around for a different lender, or go through a broker. It's your only choice, as you won't get a letter like that from the Home Office.
This is a good question, and one which hasn't been address at all. I am hoping that ILPA will get on board with this. If it turns out that someone leaving voluntarily could still get a 10 year ban then no one will ever leave.
Sorry Victoria didn't mean to accuse you of being a solicitor! :oops: I should think so...I find the accusation quite offensive! :lol: As to your other points, I guess whether or not she can get MA is dependent on whether or not she has kept up her voluntary class 2 contributions (as I have, just i...
I am saying that time in the UK as a student only counts towards ILR if applying under the 10 year rule.
The sentence "My wife came to UK as a work permit hold but on student nurse visa" doesn't make sense. She was either on a work permit or a student visa.
Er....I don't understand the relevance of this. And I'm not a solicitor. But I am a self-employed woman who follows this issues VERY closely, so if I have missed something, please let me know, as if it turns out that I will NEVER qualify for MA then I may as well stop paying NI!
Thanks Victoria. I checked these before, I am not entitled to it not because of immigration status but because of Ltd employment status. The self employed are entitled to MA if you have made enough contributions. Employment rule You must have been employed and/or self-employed for at least 26 weeks...
People on spousal visas/FLR/Leave to enter/people not considered settled for the purpose of the immigration rules are entitled to contributory benefits, which are NOT public funds, although some may depend on the amount of NI contributions made. This document is from 2005, but I believe it is still ...
But there are problems. You should have made the application at the soonest opportunity, and there is an argument to say that they have been here illegally for this time.
This was clarified in a determination promulgated last year.
If you enter the UK on 20th December, start your job on 1st January, you have to stop working on 30th June, even if you have only been working one day per week and even if you have been given two week holiday in that period.
There is no one on this forum who can advise on this. You need to see a lawyer. But there are plenty of documented cases of HIV sufferers being returned to their home country - a client of mine was sent back to the DRC last year - so please look at other options if you can.
Hmmm. It looks like I misread, so it is from 1st APril, but Jeff, changes to the Immigration Rules don't need to be agreed in Parliament, they go through an Order in Council, so this is a done deal.
