Read somewhere that they have included an email_address; but this was also t...

Regardin the English Languge Requirement; i have previously proved during my HSMP/Tier-1 extension that i meet English Language requirement. Also; the PBS recognize my university. Is this enough or do i need to get this approved from NARIC ?

So; i was asked by my company to work from India for 4.5 months and not paid UK salary for those 4.5 months. This is neither compelling nor compassionate I guess; Hence i need not provide any reasons ?
Hi, Many Thanks for the reply that no evidence is required for absences for those who are on tier-1 category. Could you please point me as to where this is written on the UKBA guidelines ? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it :( http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyan...
Thanks uksettlement. Thats the catch. Most of the Indian IT companies in UL sent their employees to India for 3+ months and they don't pay UK salary for that period. Its same in my case; i was not paid UK Salary. Only Indian salary.
