See here for tips on how to book an appointment online. I'm not sure why they give the option of using the premium service or not - in terms of initial appointments, as far as I'm aware "premium service" = PEO appointment. If you select YES for premium service and then follow the advice in...

katwmn6...mentioned that if you dont have job you should return back.......there is no guidelines any where that you should leave ....untill you have enough money to support your self.......dont get messed up... Hi Village, Please don't misquote me - I did not say "if you don't have a job you ...

I don't think this is a question of 10 months salary. The point is there is a gap of 2 months in the 12 month period. What I am not sure of, if UKBA will consider 12 months period in which you have not worked for 2 months in between. Lets say you worked Jan to April and then didn't in May and June ...

Hi Munna Ji, Sorry to hear about you being made redundant and congrats on your new job. I have queried the Home Office many times about what "economically active" means and have never received a clear answer. I believe they keep it purposely vague - what they reiterated to me is that the m...

I'm not an expert but to the best of my knowledge, her visa became invalid the day they stopped living together as a married couple. Technically she is in breach of her visa, and thus she will not be able to apply for ILR. Check out similar thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=45...

Are you are that if you dont qualify for Indefinite leave to remain after 5 years you can apply for another extension??? Please see this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=94815 If you search "180 days" you will find lots of threads discussing business trips and seco...

Wow, that's amazing nghy! Congratulations!!

Has anyone else had/heard of success getting ILR when clearly over 180 days abroad? I wonder if it was just a fluke for nghy or if it's systematically not being enforced.. (doubtful of the latter but can always hope!)

Hi SunIsInTheSky, Have you reviewed all the UKBA information on Bulgarian and Romanian work permits and accession worker cards? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucitizens/bulgaria-romania/work-permits/liveworkuk/ Also please use the search feature on the board (at the top next to the FAQ link), an...

Yes sorry was about to say the same - should be BRP now rather than actual visa in passport.

See here for another thread about passport validity:

"If HO wants to know why there is a difference in figures, they will contact you." This is an old post, but I can assure you all "HO will NOT contact you for any clarification" I speak of personal experiences where my application was rejected by "£1". Yes, "One Po...

I believe any NatWest branch should do it. I have successfully used the Aldwych branch on the LSE campus (38 Strand, Charing Cross, London WC2N 5JB / 0845 600 2803) - they charged a fee for the letter (something around £10 circa 2009) but are accustomed to doing letters for the Home Office & sta...

chrischris have you had any luck?

Hi rickomuer, I'm not able to answer all of your questions but can clarify the below - 1) When renewing, you claim points for your age at the time of your initial application (not current age) 2) I assume the rule you mention about travelling is from the SET(O) form, under section D "Continuous...

Thanks for clarifying, arbooker. I have a total of 211 absences abroad (discounting travel days) or 255 (includes travel days) for the last 5 years. All for holiday purposes. 46 days unpaid (includes weekends and public holidays), the rest are paid leave. Most holidays were short weekend trips and ...

Just wanted to check if anyone else had any thoughts on this - have decided to stop self-employment until my visa is renewed (and instead get a salaried job), for fear that HO won't be able to verify SE income. Want to make certain this is the best choice though..

Thanks again for your advice Celtic; it's really appreciated.

Does anyone else know/have experience with the HO verifying self-employment income?

Thanks for your reply Celtic. By all means, please be blunt - I need to make a decision very soon about what I am going to do, and I need as much information as I can get. If I were able to get bank transfers from clients as payment instead of cash, would that be suitable if they were matched with i...

Congratulations! Thanks for posting your story.

Hi all, After reading several of the self-employment (SE) threads on here I am considering giving up my business, as providing SE evidence seems too complicated for my situation. I am due to apply for Tier 1 (General) extension in March 2012 and am currently registered with HMRC as a sole-trader. I'...

What does that mean, "business or company accounts that meet statutory requirements" ??

I'm so confused as to whether it's worth opening a separate business account to declare SE earnings (working as an HMRC registered sole-trader), and whether I need to get an accountant...
