Short answer is, getting a job without being in UK is very very very rare unless your skills are are. If fact, even if you are in UK getting a job is not that easy. No one can precisely say how long it takes to get a job in UK. I tried for 3 months, still haven't got any decent offer. Some people go...

Generally during Xmas most of the staffs are on holiday for around 1 to 2 weeks. Also if your application from outside UK it takes even longer.
I made in country application in OCT and got the doc in two weeks time.

Because of Xmas holidays it might be taking longer. You should expect the documents in couple of weeks time. Unfortunately there is no way to track the application or anything of that sort. We have to just wait. I have gone through the same and I know how it feels.

Loneliness or no loneliness, rocking social life or no social life etc etc is not tied to any particular community/race/country/anything etc. They are lonely people everywhere on the planet, of all nationalities etc... psg, should have focused in general the life of India in UK in ALL FORMS. Not sur...

Hi Vinny,

I will be applying under HSMP category after completing 5 years.
Which chapter contains the required information.

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

There was a link on the HomeOffice website which contained details of how a caseworker process the ILR application, gap, what is considered a gap and not, annual leave etc etc etc.

Does anyone know the link please?

Thanks in advance.

The best thing for you would be organize a meet with the Indian with Camera ON and brief about what you have done in the past. It should look real. It should look like a BBC type documentary.

Hi All,

I heard that those who got HSMP after May 2007 will not be eligible for PR?
Is that true?

I went India because my company sent me back for some official work for few months. I WILL NOT get any letter from the company re this as its big organization and there are 25K plus employees. I have left them in Aug 2004. After I left UK, my new employer applied for WP after around just 1 month. Bu...

My first visa did not expire. It was valid for 2 years. However just after 16 months I joined another company on WP.

I was in UK on WP for employer A.
On Sat, I got the job offer from employer B and on Mon left UK for India.
Employer B started processing my WP in UK.
After 3.5 months I came back to UK on WP for employer B.

Hi All, I will be completing 5 years in June 2008. However I had a gap of 3.5 months in that 5 years periods. As per ILR rule, there should not be gap of more than 3 months. If there is more than 3 months gap then the decision is at the discretion of the officer. It will not be possible to get any l...

Hi All,

Are there any site where employers directly post the jobs (Contract + Permanent)?

My experience in dealing with agencies is not so good.

Hi All,

Just want to know whether all the Agencies are connected?
If you spoil your relationship with one, does it affect your job hunt?

Thanks in advance.

How do we know that you are a real filmmaker? Any proof?

how wise it is to resign first and then start looking for a jobs considering notice period and travelling to interviews?

There is nothing like that you will get a job in one month or two month or three month etc... You may get in one week or it may take few months. Getting a job in UK is very different as compare to getting a job in India. UK is very slow when it comes to job hunting. So, NO ONE can precisely tell you...

If you want a job in UK, you have to be in UK. Getting a UK job while in India is VERY VERY VERY VERY difficult.

yes, visa is stamped for two years.

Thanks yasirkhan.
