Hi Push, I am new to this forum and needed some advice. I am currently on WP and applying for tier 1 in 1st week of Oct at Croydon PEO. I have my payslip from sep 08 to Jun 09 stamped and signed by the HR on 19th July 09. I will be collecting the payslip for july 09 & Aug 09 in coming week. So ...

I've been reading up on it all as I want to make sure i've covered all bases... 1. So if I want to extend my HSMP I must qualify under the Tier 1 General scheme extension, is that right? 2. How long will they extend for? My HSMP was 2 years originally. 3. Do I need to send in all evidence again, or...

Does that mean the Process date on the Pay Slips should be same as the date the money goes in to the bank account because in my case, I got paid a day later than my Pay Slip shows. No; Thats not the case/possible mostly. I thought, as long as the amount on pay slips confirms / references with the a...

Hi Push_HSMP and Sastha, I am also in similar situation but not exactly the same., the dilemma I am facing is I have to apply early if I need to comply with the "12 consecutive month" period. My contract is coming to an end by sep, 2009 which started on June 2008. I have the sufficient po...

My question is why do you want to take pictures alone? You can use www.google.com search name of place where you want to take pictures, click on images in the upper bar and there you are, a lot of images. If you want to be the part of that picture, you can use Microsoft paint. Advanced users can us...

Hi All, Is Home Office particular about what month the pay is shown on the bank statements ? In my case everything is fine. Only that my company payroll at times has delayed transfers and the amounts actually get shown on the subsequent month statements ( For ex:Jan pay is shown in the first week o...

I have a query regarding the new 4 year ILR rules (Judicial Review judgment of 6 April 2009). I had initially applied for my HSMP approval in January 2006 which was refused due to error in assessment. I, therefore, re-submitted a fresh application on 26 April 2006 claiming the same points and using...

Thank you guys, am releived now. between, the details they have taken, will it be fed into their computer systems, or it will be just on that form only, any idea on this.. Is normal, a lot of tourists who are happily snapping pics of buildings etc get stopped and asked. Specially in the City and Ca...

@Push - I never said that my friend should lie about his visa status and that isnt possible as it would be too blatant from the stamping in his passport(Whether if its tier-1 or tier-2). Wat i wanted is this - A person coming with a tier-1 to uk through his company cannot proclaim he is doing so as...

Cool. thanks guys.

Can you please list what is included in public funds benefits?

Check this post.

Chetan,

What about the single occupier discount of 25% on the Council Tax bill? Is that considered under 'Public Funds' benefits?

I wasn't able to understand clearly from the post.

Though dominated by banks & financial services institutions, the City too has a lot of IT opps.

Awesome, all looking good then. Just wait for the NARIC letter to come in the post then and you are good to go.

Thanks Chethan, I had one concern. If I receive my letter this weekend, then I can apply on 1st or 2nd of September. I was claiming points for Earnings from 01-Aug-2008 till 31-Jul-2009. Now, if I submit my application on 1st or 2nd , then again do I need to change all the details, 1. to include th...

Hello All, We are planning to apply TIER 1 (G) in Oct 09. Right now we are in WP since Oct 06. During this period, due to some incorrect understanding, we got 10% reduction (2nd home reduction)in Council Tax by showing that we have a house in India. Also after the birth of our child we claimed Chil...

Thanks tvn_ramesh. That was really quick :) I would also like to know, as I would be applyin 2 and a half months earlier than the expiry date -- Is that OK? Yes, this is fine. Secondly if I get my FLR visa from 8th Jan, then it will be only valid for almost 3 months(not 6 months), does that make a ...

Please Reply soon.

GREETS.

Yep, you can. The proof of accomodation will also help.

Unfortunately the criteria will not be relaxed. As Chetan suggested, get another Part Time job or change to a better full time job at the first opportunity. If this does not work out, try and change to another appropriate Visa category other than Tier-1 (General). Hi all, I have two years HSMP visa ...
