yes they r quite big .. but my basic question was.. whats an accomodation report?

Whats an accomodation report in teh checklist for spouse visa; More over I live in a 2 bedroom flat; the tenency agreement is in my name including all bills but till my wife comes here, my cousin is staying with me in other room. Is it a problem if they ask her in the interview who I live with; i re...

Thanks jahangir; thats a very usefull information. Can some senior members explain the case about the guidance notes and whts mentioned in the form; in the guidance notes it clearly says stamp date as beginning of the qualifaction period. It makes sense too as the period b/w stamp and entry date can...

As per the guidance notes SETO you are allowed out of country max of 90 days in a stretch and 180 days in total (5 years). Looking at what you just said it should not be a issue for yr parther if her stay is 2 months. Which guidance is this? can u send me the link. Teh SET(O) doesnt mention this Gu...

nothing says u cant.. but nothing says u can tooo.. its a complicated case best is contact a lawyer

Application submitted 23rd May
Passport Stamp date 30th May
Documents returned 3nd June

Contradiction is Guidance and Form Guide SET(O) - version 05/2009 5 WHEN TO APPLY There is a qualifying period to complete in most of the categories on this form. That period runs from the date on which you were granted leave to enter or remain in this capacity. The qualifying periods are as follows...

OK this is very serious; I called the home office and explained the case - I got visa stamped on 2nd june 2007 made entry on 18th Aug 2007( though i mentioned the travel date as 15th aug 2007) - They clearly said as per this I have to apply for fruterh leave to reamina no matter if its 1 day or 1 mn...

But the normal path to immigration for Tier-1 and HSMP was 2 years intial 3 years extenstion then ILR and file for passport. Individually i agree theres no mention of mixing ILR with FLR. But collectively as they set thw road map in 2002 to attract highly skilled migrants; there must be a provision ...

I dont think we should wait; number one we call home office and explain the scenario. We cannot go for FLR only for 2 months for a mistake home office made; when we clearly mentioned the date of travel in the form. Atleast i mentioned teh correct date of intended travel 15th august 2007 and yet they...

I applied for extension on 20th May and passport was stamped with 3 yr extension on 30th May; My initial VISA was HSMP and extension is in Tier 1. But heres what is confusing me - One of my friends got extension ( same case as mine) 5-6 months back; they extended his visa keeping in view his date of...

Im not amused by this comment about hazardous countries;please refrain from making senseless comments when u havent visited the country's metro cities and professional hubs. It's the media that makes a country hazardous/safe.... and 'we cant blame the HO' thats really alarming argument...pakistan pr...

thnx for the wish.. im already in UK:) NARIC doesnt recognize any masters degree from paksitan...even if we explain to them as i stated about my friends who did masters from top university of paksitan(computer science) but managed to get bachelors(hons) only. Thtas why i said paksitan is 'unofficial...

two of my friends have fast master degree.. 4 yrs BS 2 yrs MS but NARIC only gave them bachelors(ordinary) first; upon their appeal that this is 6 yrs and how can they give bachelors(ord) they raised it to bachelors(hons) not even post grad ...

None of pakistans university has got masters degrees equivalent to Uk masters. It means Pakistan is unofficially out of the tier-1 as many professionals here are not PHd; two of my friends have done masters frim FAST and NARIC gave equivalency of graduate to them. They qualified as per old rules and...

u need to apply for another flr and go thru point scoring and all the process involed in it..as per current rules..if rules change thats a separate issue

nops ..it will be 3+2
