Hi Sushil, I am working for the second employer and get paid weekly salary. Just wondering why would you mention the need for "Self Employment Income Certificate and Accounts from qualified practising ACA / ACCA" ? The gross salary received from second employer is also the net salary with...

Sushil thanks for your prompt reply. Can you please explain your second statement more elaborately which says "HO is concerned that you follow tax laws any how PAYE IS PAYABLE today or tomorrow to HMRC otherwise yr visa is issue". Does it means that its fine if I pay my taxes after my vis...

Thanks for your response. I understand is not like an appointment at a PEO. I wanted to confirm that they do not reject processing applications where discretions need to be applied. Also, can anyone please confirm if I can send a certified copy by mail or request my passport back quickly. I appreci...

Mistakes do happen, so get over it.. THe right thing you should have done is return the documents back to the Home Office. Now this can go unchecked unless the "poor" girl complains. Hope you have your details on the Visa! Disagree. To return it to the HO would just make the owner have to...

NCS do not take applications unless you are totally eligible. the discretion rule of the ukba does not apply to ncs. I've tried launching my application 3 months prior using the discretion and was turned down by the ncs. they then gave me the correct date when I was absolutely elgible. Yeah but you...

Hi, I am filling application, I am asked to provide addresses for last five years. Within last five years, I spent 1 year out side the UK. Should I include that address as well? Any quick response would be appreciated, as I got my appointment with NCS scheduled for mid next week. ta You spent 1 yea...

Can I use this statement as it print from the bank with bank letter head but no bamk stamp and sign? I'm very worry abo...

This is exactly my case...., I am thinking of claiming back the NI and Tax because I did not know that it is illegal to pay NI when you have not got a valid UK work permit while you are outside the UK. But will that really rings some bells for the case worker or it just shows that you are a good em...

I have consulted with a few immigration lawyers and they all stated that since my number of days outside UK (minutes business trips) is quite high (220 days), they cannot guarantee that I will have ILR. Some of them suggested that I should apply for Tier 1 and then apply ILR at a later date when th...

Could some experts throw some light into my case? Looking back, I could have stayed back and made an in country application. But unfortunately, I left UK before the end of the visa period as I was quite nervous to stay back and whether this would put me as an overstayer. Excuse me. Calm down. Peopl...

I said NORMALLY you must apply from your country origin. (the use of normally indicates there are exceptions) I already explained why I threw out PR so try to read more judiciously in the future. This forum is all about providing the right information, to help members prepare for Tier 1 application...

I am applying for my Tier 1 from India in Jan 2010. I have been working in UK before on Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme. However my visa was expiring in Feb 2008. My employer applied for work permits twice and it was rejected. So I left UK before my visa expiry. However, I discussed my wor...

I did not say he had to be a permanent resident, I asked if he had PR to obtain some idea of his/her status since normally one applies from their country of origin. I mentioned PR since most people tend to be vague and need to be prompted with formal terms so you can get useful info from them. You ...

hey, i could just do with some advice. My partner is being administratively removed from the uk for overstaying his visa which i understand is completely different from deportation. Anyway on to the situation i need advice on... We have heard that if the government is paying for his removal he is f...

Hi, I am a little bit confused regarding Tax Return...when do I have to claim it? is it necessary for the Tier 1 application? I think if I can provide payslips which are signed and stamped by the employer and my bank statements which are signed and stamped as well that is enough for the previous ea...

Americans do not need tourists visa for the UK so I presume you are not Americans. Are you a permanent resident in the USA as you normally must apply from your country origin. That is not true. You do not need to be a permanent resident to apply for Tier 1, at the same time you should not be on a s...

As a clarification, Im applying from the US. I had just applied for tourist purposes but at the last minute I applied for the Tier 1. Im not planning on using the tourist visa to travel at all since my tourist plans have changed and decided to go in for Tier 1. Americans do not need tourists visa f...

I totally forgot to ask this question. I'm a US citizen who is currently an EU family residency card applicant. I haven't received it yet (though I have proof I've applied). I'm going with my husband to England (via Stanstead Airport) tonight for Christmas. I know I'm allowed to go through passport...
