The job market in UK is almost dead at the moment. With the news of plausible recession hitting the headlines every day, it is not helping either. Even if you do get a job with you niche skill sets and experience, there will be no job security with more and more companies cutting headcounts and goin...

NCS or Postal - NCS Date of submission or posting - 17 June 2008 CRITERIA - 5 yr stay (4 + 1 yr ILR) Date of debit of debit/credit card - Credit card Date of receipt of acknowledgement - 25 June 2008 Date of rece...

If it is a straightforward application satisfying the relevant pre-requisites, then in-person application at PEO is always the preferred option.

BTW, what is the status of the individual based upon whom the dependent's application is to be made?

What type of application is it?

You should be fine.

With Tier1 HSMP Visa, what all countries we can visit without seperate VISA

None.

Surely if I apply for ILR in October 2009, I will be getting my British Passport in October 2011? One of the post here mentions that I can apply in October 2010 ? Also on top of Life in UK test, do I need to prove my English qualification too by taking one extra test ?? As per the prevailing rules,...

As far as I understand it is 180 days over the 5 year period.

.... and not more than 90 days in any given instance.

Working with a limited company should be fine.

That is great JAJ.

It pretty much sums up known facts and the unknowns.

Did you ever overstay or were an illegal entrant or used deception in your prior applications for leave to remain?

Please use the search function available, and you will be able to find a lot of threads on this site related to ILR.

This thread is neither for tracking ILR/PR applications nor for tracking WP applications. This thread was started to keep track of the timelines for naturalisation (citizenship) applications.

Please guide me whether sending these documents will meet accomodation requirement....

I guess not as Guernsey is not a part of UK.

Another alternative will be to contact your local MP and get him to write a letter to the relevant department dealing with your application.

What has the subject if your post got to do anything with the queries that you have raised?

Do not try to fool around the co-members by giving false heading just to grab their attention.

If you had done some some search on this forum, you would have learnt that you can apply for ILR 28 days prior to completion of your 5 years of valid stay in the UK.

I got the approval letter and then filed EC...finally i got my Tier 1 General Migrant visa....can anyone shed more lights on this..

on what ?

Will the time period from April to August be considered in the 5 year duration for my ILR ??

It will not be considered for ILR and hence there is no question of it being considered for citizenship either.

The article mentions that the new bill is going to be published in January, it no where mentions that the bill is going to be passed in January.

The other way to find it out is to send an email with your enquiry directly to UKBA (can get their email address from UKBA's website). Normally they respond within two working weeks or so (provided that is still ...
