Provided the rules for ILR still remain the same when you come around to apply, you can apply 28 days prior to completion of 5 years of your continuous stay in the UK.
As you can see I have only 10 days visa break between 09-May-2004 and 19-May 2004, however I am 100% confident that my employer on that occassion has sent my application for work permit extension (FLR) on time before it expired on 09-May-2004. To prove this I have a copy of the approval letter sent...
I'm on a work permit (from an umbrella compnay) and i'm asked to look for contract jobs. I'm not allowed to look for permanent jobs at the moment. From what you have mentioned it seems that you are working illegally in the UK. Umbrella companies are not allowed to sponsor work permit. You better ge...
Instead I would have limited all those ppl from India, Africa and any other third world countries starting from 1962. Now we are suffering the consequences. Many of them don't speak a word of English and have never done 1 day's worth of work in their lives. They're just queueing up for the dole and...
UK experience does matter while applying for jobs in UK.
Having said that if you have got the right skills and significant experience to go with your skill set, then in an open market (which is not quite at the moment) you should still be able to secure yourself a job.
Yes, after you complete the required period of 5 years of continuous stay(as it stands right now) either on WP, WP+Tier 1 or Tier 1.
Not to mention there are statutory other requirements such as passing Life in UK test, no recourse to public funds etc. t hat you will need to satsify as well.
Which type of application is it? What do you mean by change in circumstances?
Without relevant details you will not be getting much help from co-members.
In general the UK job market is pretty dull at the moment and unless you have loads of experience (incl UK experience) it is hard to get your hands on a new job. Moreover, we are fast approaching end of the year, which is not making things easier either. To be honest it will be better to wait until ...
Mate, you are almost a year late. JR related to PR/ILR retrospective element was turned down, if I remember correctly, sometimes end of 2007 / start of 2008.
Have not heard of any new JR in the same respect !
To be honest the UK market is not really good at the moment, mainly due to the credit crunch as well as due to end of the year just round the corner.
Better option in my opinion will be to wait atleast until next April and see if market opens up by then.
Just learning a new technology won't earn you the required experience in that skill set. And especially oracle DBA domain is a sort of niche area where experience is the best teacher. You may end up getting a contract job depending upon how technical the interview would be. But in these uncertain ti...
IF ILR is the same thing as a permanent resident and that is the ultimate goal, they why do you think your ILR is in jeopardy. I agree with the above. There is no way that UKBA can and will revoke already granted ILRs. At worst there could be some transitional arrangements that may be put in place ...
Would you please post a link for this website. Here's the link to the guidance notes on filling up the SET(O) form used while applying for ILR. This pdf mentions all the relevant requirements for ILR. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/guidseto.pdf Please note...
The day you left UK and the day you came back should be excluded in calculating days out of UK. There is no harm in mentioning 1 nighter trips in the application, but for these number of days out should be mentioned as 0.
I'm just concerned that HO will cause some problems because of that year I was absent for 83 days of which 51 continuously. I have a letter from my employer stating the period I was employed under WP which includes that period. But as I said, I'm missing some payslips for that time and no P60 for t...
What a SILLY question. u joker You don't have to be rude with co-members. It does not hurt to be polite with your response; it's better not to respond than been rude. herts - to answer your query in addition to what iceman has already stated, you will also be entitled to claim benefits such as chil...
1 month & 20 days is quite an incredible turn around time as compared to the timelines posted by few others in this thread !
Or is it that UKBA processes the applications for diffrerent categories differently?
One rule that applies in the year leading to naturalization after getting ILR is that, one can stay out of UK no more than 90 days. I reckon your relative would have to be resident in the UK continuously atleast for 9 months out of a year preceeding his/her naturalization application. Besides I am n...
