this is another most rediculous law,(if the law really exists. not sure if it exists) i believe in whole world, by home office. this simply unbelievable. loosing passport is an accident. and home office is punishing for accident? and i am surprised some people here are backing up this law?? shame on...

This government has gone crazy (with such a poor planning exibition, I wonder how British manage to rule the half world)... after numerous recent changes there is still a room for this new immigration bill...... I was wondering who the government was going to merge PBS with old immigration law. I w...

OK, I realise this may sound illegal, but here's the scenario.. I'm currently waiting for my Tier 2 application to be approved but I'm worried that it might not get done in time and I'll have to leave the UK. Which is fine with me, but I'm worried that I might not have enough time to sort out my fi...

Hi all, Thank you all for your guidance.I entered UK on 29th of august and started applying for jobs from 1st of september and received permanent employment with UK Based company in Cambridge on 9th.My observation is that it is highly unlikely that one receives interview call these days with out Eu...

so which countries share information among themselves? there are 200+ countires in the world. or its just SO CALLED 1st world english speaking countries( usa, uk, canada, nz, aus) share information only? even if they do, what kind of information? any one can shed some light on it?

Hi Forum, I just came to know that I might have to fly to another country on a company assignment in mid October. Now I am on HSMP and was planning to apply for extension in the last week of September, but that will engage my passport and will render me unable to attend the conference. I know I can...

what if i don't have any other account to show mere 40£? :? any other suggestions? Please help! you can use a bank account from your home country for that 2 days. dont know where you are from, but in many countries the banker can sort you out for those 2 days by issuing back dated statement if you...

i strongly feel the govt. will not make another mistake similar to what happned in hsmp jr. if they bring this rule all of a sudden in july 2011 without covering those who enterd under hsmp rule, then I see its going to be a failure? i really hope HO will not break promises as usual :evil: .. even ...

why Home office chose 2011? whom they are covering? atleast they should set the rule so that all HSMP holders who are already in UK are covered by OLD rule as they were promised. why this random 2011? where some one will be covered and some wont? its redicilous...

Hi friends, i received reply to my objection for path to citizenship bill from Mr. Woolas, the immigration minister. It says those who obtain ILR before the commencement of new rule before july 2011, will be eligible to apply for citizenship with a grace period of two years ( i.e July 2013) from ju...

Congrats Shivuu006, What exactly is the background check they are doing? For example if I came with HSMP or WP what background check will be done? Because I am confused after showing P60 or payslips and bank stmts, they still carried out background checks, what are these checks? Your contribution w...

Guys, thanks a lot for your replies. I will try to earn more income. But if I cannot, I might have to change to my wife's dependant. Currently she is my dependant, but she's got a job and should be able to earn enough points. So we might have to make initial application again. That means our 5 year...

I think home office is like giving visas to everyone now a days seen so many tier 1 approvals not even a single rejection and also mant students are coming to UK this year...why not when we were paying them huge taxes..we are infact helping them to improve their economy..all the best guys.. cheers ...

This is another VAGUE rule of Home office. nothing more expected from them. no one is certain about correct rule. because there is no where it is written in the rule book about visa duration. some one applied 4 months early and they get visa expiry from their current visa expiry on the other case so...

guys, after the systems were down on 5th august at croydon, i got my passport and documents by post last week, but my visa is stamped untill Aug 5th 2012 i.e from the date i applied august 5th 2009, but my initial visa expires 30th august 2009, shouldn't my visa be given untill 30th august 2012??? ...

dear all, i emailed HO about early extension and i asked them if i apply 2 months early, then what will be the duration of my visa. but they can not answer that question. experienced members and cosultants advise us clearly what is the rule actually? doest it depend on luck and discration of case wo...

home office has dismissed my appeal as well as i was unable to maintain funds on a few occasions in one of the 3 month period....i have now appealed in the administrative court of appeal.....could someone please advise on this??? also just to add, you can show account from your home country as well...

I think questions needs to be asked about the highly skill ability of some people on here. why do you think so? do you have a celar cut staright forward answer about early extension? i bet you dont. because no one does. i have spoken to few experienced consultants. even they are not sure. call the ...

i had problems with maintenance fund. My opening bank balance was short of funds and so i got a rejection. The judges sympathised with the way my appeal went because of negligence on th epath of my lawyer but said they cannot rewrite the rules to be flexible to suit my situation. If you ask me why ...

Neonlight your stats of "almost 95%" does not apply for India.. as i have seen most of the (almost all) Indian institutes are on the calculator.. i would say just 1% of indian institutes might not be on the UKBA calculator.. not sure on Pakistan and BD... :( :( :( It means I cannot apply....

:( :( :( It means I cannot apply. Is their, some way, other than Tier-1? dear waqas, which in which country did you study? in the current rule even if some one has masters from some countries such as (bangladesh, pakistan ,india etc..) will not qualify for Tier 1. because most of the master degree ...
