Hi Guys, I am in the same situation , will it be a problem to give yourself a salary around 500£ to avoid NI ? should we increase the salary ?

Hi Friend Yes, I agree with you. It should be better to apply in the post. Just double checking with you if you can help- Do you think 90 days concession ( adding the the period between visa issue date and entry date if it is less than 90 days and when candidate falls short of 5 years) is discretio...

that means when you were granted first visa (HSMP in 2007) if you were 29 and claimed 10 points, then still you can claim that points for your age.

check the updated docs, now they allow up to 3 months between your visa granted and your first entry.

I only have 1 big gap outside the uk which is about 2.5 half months unpaid (It's less then 90 days so I don't think this should ...

Total no of days (out side uk) should be less than 180 days. is the first 53 days gap (days between the visa granted and the first entry to the uk 23/05/07 to 15/07/07 ) which i took the advantage of the recent changes (about up to 3 months extension if the first entry is delayed) will count toward...

Hi experts, I have been issued an entry Clarence with HSMP on 23/05/2007 and I entered to UK for the first time on 15/07/2007 (less then 2 months after) when I had a few job interviews in the UK and returned back to my country in a few days after.

this is true, if you want to get ILR , you have to be at least 5 years in UK , but even with the extensions it will make in total 5 years and I don't think nobody comes to UK as soon as they get the visa.So I believe most of the people will be in sort for 5 years and need to apply for a 3rd extensio...
