Re: ILR qualifying period for main applicant and PBS dependants

I understand that (it was the same for me and my wife), however if visa is issued on 29.12.2023. then rolling period starts from that day? To clarify 1 year rolling period means all of the above: 29.12.2023. - 29.12.2024. 30.12.2023. - 30.12.2024. 1.1.2024 - 1.1.2025. . . . . . 15.8.2026-15.8.2027. ...

English Knowledge

If I want to sponsor someone who is studying in the UK on a student visa, does it mean that they have already proven knowledge of English (scored points there) and that we do not need to submit it again? Or the test will be required again? They did an english test online when coming to the UK (done ...

Hi, My company has sponsored a number of visas so far, but nothing new within the last year or so. A person from abroad has asked me where they should take the test and I am very confident that a few years ago there was a list of authorised test providers per country on the gov.uk website. However, ...

If payment details are invalid because the card expired, I believe funds will still get into your bank account (as bank will sort this out). If the account was closed down however, then I am not sure what happens. Also, just to confirm, IHS for one of my employees was refunded automatically when he ...
