Vinny you are right .

I have checked with a very good lawyer and she has confirmed that both dependant and HSMP holder can apply for ILR at the same time and clock is ticking for both of them. They should acoid switching the type of Visa they hold.

We keep most of savings in a joint saving account or in ISA. In current account from where we do all the transactions usually do not have more than £200 as interest rates are not very good. What can I submit to support HSMP extension application?

My husband is applying for HSMP extension. We have some doubts:

For how long the extension will be provided?
What is the best thing to submit as evidence for English language proof?

What else can we do to make sure that our application is aprooved.

Any help will be much apreciated.

Thanks.

From which website I can read all these rules?

www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk does not have all the information, specially for HSMP dependants.

I am on HSMP dependant visa and my employer offered to get me work permit valid for 5 years. The lawyer said that this would mean that my countdown in UK will start again and the 2 years I have already spent won't be counted if I have to apply for leave to remain or citizenship. Is this true? Is swi...

Thanks. Looks like an official website.

Hi,

Can anyone update me, which is the official website for getting all the forms and application for renewing HSMP.

Thanks

Thanks, for the info.

Some of the good employers ask this question, that how long my HSMP is valid for, and thats when everything starts going wrong. Guess I will have to stick with current employer for a while.

Hi,

Can I get my HSMP renewed before its due date?

Reason I need to do this is because I want to change job and no one will employ me with less than 6 months remaining on visa.

Please help if you are aware.

Thanks,
Venus

Thanks for the link ..now one question is my visa was issued in May 2006 and is valid till May 2008 and I am planning to go in Dec. end 2007. Therefore I won't have 6 months remaining. So will that be still valid?

Hi,

I & my spouse are working in UK on HSMP & HSMP dependent visa . Do we need visa for travelling to Switzaerland? (Vacation for 7 days)

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Venus
