My friend applied for Tier 1(G) from tier 2 (intra company tranfer) and got it last month. So far NI and taxes related info are not disclosed on his salary slips. My questions are : 1. Will the company pay NI for T2 intracompany transfer visas? 2. Will there be any concessions in tax from the govern...

sorry to hijack the thread, but my questions is also of similar sorts. My friend's current leave to remain expires oct 09. But he'll be completing his 5yrs stay by jan 2010. My question here is : if he applies for extension, how many years of extension will he get? is there a way to apply for ILR af...

@dnicky,

Thanks a lot.

My friend's current leave to remain is expiring in Nov 2009. By then he'll be completing 4yrs and 10 months. This strange situation is because of the WP + HSMP . My question here is : Can he apply for ILR at the end of current leave to remain or shud he for another extension? If he goes for another ...

rg1,

this was the case with HSMP. they insisted on a bachelors degree for english language section.

but nowadays the UKBA points calculator gives 10 points(english language) for some of the masters degrees as well.

ya no harm in filling that info. coz integra will not take place to verify those details. but its always better fill in the right details.

u have a strong case. draft ur AR comments carefully. its shud'nt take more than 28days.

best of luck.

this seems to be a clear mistake from the caseworker side. u can go ahead with a admin review. u'll surely get it. As u said CW might've found himself hard to find ur university name, coz i found it difficult to choose ur univ name right for the first time dont forget to mention the university abbre...

@vinny,
I entered UK 2 months after my hsmp approval. While i apply for ILR, if i comply with 180 days (or 225) rule, then do i have a chance of a successful ILR application, or shud i go for one more extension before ILR?

a quick and straight forward way is booking a hotel. u can do that at no cost.
jus a booking confirmation email wud suffice. some of the booking site wont charge u anything until u occupy the room.

u can visit northern ireland, scotland. but not dublin. northern ireland & scotland are part of UK.

@themagger,
gud work

but for the first part of the question, it is still unanswered.

"Are FDs still accepted as proof of maintenance" ??

changes in the guidance states that :
"Evidence must be in the form of cash funds."

@ themagger,
which VFS did u send ur query to? chennai VFS responds to queries in no time.

u can very well go ahead and apply for u first. later once u r settled, u can show right funds and take ur dependents.
if u r applying alone, its is just enough if u show funds for urself.

best of luck

does this mean the following? :

1. FDs are not acceptable anymore
2. Joint account can be held with anyone(other than spouse)

try ur degree and university with UKBA points calculator. if u dont qualify the english language section, then u need to take IELTS or any English test prescribed by UKBA.

this kinda offer is pretty ok. and i know few companies who do contracting like this. the main problem here is, JOBS

market is not doing grt these days. but wat i feel is, u'll get £200 + accomodation till u get a job, so shud be ok.

if u cud give more information on ur dependent application somebody wud help u, provide us information like
wat r all the docs used for application?
wat is the visa type?
As a dependent of whom does ur husband applied?

i donno whether this is a right place to discuss these things, if not, mods pls move this to appropriate forum. u can find lots of house shares all thru UK. London is the job centric place, so u can start from london. It is but costlier than other cities, but on a average u'd spend the same amount o...

1. Question 6.4.14
>>its up to u to fill-in a reasonable amount.

2.question 6.3.20
put ur hsmp expiry date(this was suggested by a VFS guy)

@Bukhari & @Kratos, sorry there is no written rule that states that, u need not maintain funds. But at the same time there is no written rule which states that u need to maintain funds. Here i am talking ONLY about ppl who got EC under old hsmp (not even transitional arrangements). i jus gotmy w...

i see from ur other post , u r applying under transitional arragnements.
after u come to UK, if u plan to bring ur wife here, u have to maintain 800 +1600 for 3 months.
or if u r applying for both of u now, then u have to maintain2800+1600.

I think the first option wud be ideal for u.
