Thank you. But do I need this letter from the previous employer? I am asking as I am applying on Tier 1 Exceptional Talent.

Hello! When I was on T2G, I went out of the country to Italy. I left UK on Sunday 10th and reached Italy on Sunday 10th. Similarly, I left Italy on Sunday 17th and returned to UK on Sunday 17th. When I request the letter from employer, which dates should they mention? I am applying ILR through Tier ...

To show cohabitation, I have obtained council tax bills from cities where I and my wife lived earlier. I also have tenancy contract for all the places we have lived. Her payslips, credit card bills. Will it be sufficient?

Also do I need to show it for 5 years or 2 years? My leave was granted in 2013.

Hello All,

Between my two employments T2G visa, I had a gap of 75 days. I am aware that the 60 day rule has been removed.

Do I need to mention this when I apply for ILR?

If yes, then can someone please help me with cover letter wording about this matter?

Many thanks!

Can anyone please help with above on cohabitation?

Many thanks.

Hello All, According to the new form published, it says the following about cohabitation: If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave ...

Is this saving requirement for SET(M) or SET(O)?

For T1ET, do I need to show cash savings or a salary above £37K is enough?

Thank you, this makes sense. I will try to get the letter.

But I was only absent for 24 days. Do I still need the letter?

3a. About my absences when I was on T2G, do I need to get a letter from the employer? I was made redundant by that employer. Since then I have changed jobs twice. Yes if your absences were more than 30 days in any residence year Thank you for reply. If I go back 5 years from today, then I have in t...

Hello All, I will be applying for ILR on T1 ET (Promise) with leave aggregated on T2G. A solicitor has confirmed that this is possible. I have been trying to fill SET(O) form and I have few questions: 1. Can I also include my wife as a dependant on the same form? Or do I need a separate form for her...

It happened to me as well, I registered and didn’t get email for nearly 3 hours. But I got around 11pm. So it does arrive. Otherwise ring them on Monday.

Yes, you still need NARIC certificate, it says on SET(O) form and on the link I posted in my post above.

Thank you. Yesterday I applied through RED route on UK NARIC for settlement and the fees was about £152. I submitted her degree certificate, transcript and letter from University. Hopefully, that should be enough.

Hello All, I will be applying for ILR with my wife and regarding her English requirement, I am little confused. The govt site https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english says that: If your degree isn’t from a UK university, you’ll need your original degree certificate and one of the follo...

Thank you, I will see if I can get it confirmed from a solicitor.

Thank you for your reply.

She took her IELTS Academic in June 2016, which is valid for two years.

Does that mean she will have to appear for another test? Or can we go for NARIC and get the validation for her degree from India?

Hello All,

I am planning to apply for ILR soon along with my wife. However, her IELTS certificate will expire this week.

Will they count this certificate if we apply for ILR in July?

Many thanks.

Hello,

Is my understanding correct that I can apply for ILR and the time spent on T2G will count towards it?

Many thanks.

You read wrong. It does not apply anymore. My understanding is that you need either 3 years or 5 years on Tier 1 ET to qualify for ILR. You can't use the Tier 2 time. Eligibility You can apply if you were endorsed in your field as either: a recognised leader (‘exceptional talent’) - you must have b...

Thank you, this puts my mind at ease.

Yes, I pay tax via PAYE.

Thank you, this is reassuring.

Hello All, I have been on Tier 2 General and I have always been in a salaried job. In 2016, I changed job and in November 2017, I received a letter from HMRC saying that I had paid less tax. Their explanation was that my previous employer had paid tax on medical insurance on £50 instead of £200. Sin...
