I dont think we need to go for NARIC anymore, Home office already has a huge database of degrees which can be verified through PBS points calculator. correct me i am wrong.

I am from HSMP-TIER1 route. I have satisfied the English language requirement as part of the HSMP process. Do i still need to provide the degree certificate?

I am from HSMP-TIER1 route. I have satisfied the English language requirement as part of the HSMP process. Do i still need to provide the degree certificate?

Yes . From 28 October 2013, there will be two parts to the knowledge of language and life requirement, both of which must be met by all applicants. But in the statement of intent it says: The following groups are considered automatically to meet the English language component of the KoLL requiremen...

sorry to hijack the thread, a quick question on the same lines.

My friend got his Tier 2(ICT) on 7 Apr 2011, i believe only the application date is taken in to consideration which will fall much before 6th Apr 2011, am i right?

No Hi All, I will be applying for ILR soon. I am a contractor and I have been reading about all the documentation that needs to be produced. I have a question on the payslips specifically which is produced by the accountant. I usually pay the monthly directors salary around 17th of every month, wher...

Hi,

My friend came to UK under Tier 2 ICT short term visa on 16 April 2011, he switched to Tier 2 ICT established worker on Jan 2012.

Does current immigration rules allow him to switch to Tier 2 (G)?

Thanks

They normally expect business bank statements as a second proof. My personal experience is, submit as many docs as possible rather than limiting the number of docs. In my case they didn't take the accountant's letter but took P&L, Corporation tax notice/payments, VAT reg cert, Incorp cert etc

As per my understanding it is gross salary & net dividends for self-employed(contractors)

I just cancelled an appointment for 8th feb, You can try now.

@genuflexion : Congrats. Yes it was a similar experience for me. But the case worker explicitly said my application was successful.

Hi Antouk, first of all congrats couple of doubts though . 1) Did she ask any questions or just took the documents without asking anything ? Rather he, yes he didnt ask any questions. 2) Did you keep originals and copy seperate or where they kept together? I organized it in two different files. 3) ...

@techie_09,

Hi All, First my thanks to one and all for sharing their experiences in this useful forum and making this forum a complete reference on immigration related queries. Now coming on to my experience : I applied as a Tier1 migrant(2 yrsHSMP+ 3 Yrs Tier1) for me and 3 dependents(wife & 2 kids). My ap...

If your wife has completed the residential requirement for ILR(which is 2 years), you can apply for her as well.

@mulderpf : You can have two login ids. I am applying for my family, so i have an id in my name and another id in my wife's name.

I managed to book couple of appointments last week. few more pointers: 1. Try to use chrome, its faster. 2. Use back refresh button followed by back button to reload the page - This saves your time. 3. Open two types of browsers(i prefer one of them to be chrome). 4. Keep one of the tab open just to...

@wpilr_nov12
You are right about the rejections. I do not have 90 days continous or more than 180 days(excluding initial days) of absence. Thanks. Your word are encouraging

Question 17a of FAQs for ILR - WP/Tier 2/HSMP/Tier 1 suggests that initial absence is not counted towards the total absence.

Can someone in the same situation/experts answer please?

Is there a possibility of refusal for my application?

Hi All,

I have a total absence of 182 days:

126 days - Holidays(most of it are paid leaves)
53 days - delayed entry in to UK(got HSMP 28 Feb 2008, entered UK 23 APR 2008)
3 days - Business trip.

Am i eligible to apply for same day ILR?

Thanks in advance

Does the initial 90days count towards the 180days rule for ILR?
