Hi, I've booked an apointment for NCS few months back and later I decided not to apply for Nationality as I wont be eligible to apply for another year. Once I got NCS appt. postponed for 2 months. Now, I myself decided not to apply for it and remain with present nationality. Is there any way that w...

Hi Experts, I am getting into PR status by November 09. i lost my job in january and still i dont have job, so i approached an umberalla company for crediting salary every month for last 4 months thinking that i might need to show salary proof when i apply for ILR. Umberalla company is charging mor...
Hi All Hope you are doing good. Can you work in abroad say Dubai or Australia (offcourse on their work permit) whilst still holding UK working permit.?? Say if i work there for couple of months then can I come back to UK & work on my current HSMP tier 1 visa?? Thanks in advance You shouldnt be ...
Thanks for the responses so far, but I'm still not aligned with the consensus! @Joe777, I see the point you make but it seems to me that the HO has to mop up for the act of an individual. @republic, I see your point too but again what is the difference between a spouse abandoned and a spouse victim...
I know I've asked this before on another forum but I'd like to know why DV is a valid route to ILR? Before I go on, I know DV is an insidious act, and anyone guilty of it deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered, and the victims deserve protection but I do wonder why that includes a favourable rout...
republique, ...great stuff there... Maybe you've spent too long reading about visas that you can't see the human side. I'd have thought people on a visa advice forum would be trying to avoid being part of the machinery. When I say I've kept her out of the benefits, obviously this is not because she...
Hi Republique I am really sorry you think I dont appreciate or care about your letter you wrote to give me an idea of how it should be written. I was really happy and appreciative to all your help and time you spent helping me. I was just writing a thank you for that and as soon as I was going to c...
Ok, thank you so much for your advice. This is why I posted my letter on this website. I needed advice. I thought maybe it IS too long, but I was told to disclose everything. I feel that if I keep it brief and simple, I might not cover all the points, and they might think I am hiding some things?? ...
thanks Wanderer hmmm, yes she's been working full time since she had to drop out of university coming up to two years ago, but still has paperwork from the university that has allowed her in and out of the country. My research did suggest that if I get married my benefits get slashed to nothing but...
Your original letter is the worst apology I have ever read. And then you get argumentative with John about what is covered medically. Who cares? The stuff you put in the letter is so unnecessary, it shows how little understanding you have of others, in this case, UK immigration policy and how invol...
hello friends If i open a limited company, do i hv to hv secretary ne pay him/her? If so will i need to produce the pay slips to secretary as wel? If i m the only director and pay myself as well, wil i need to get me payslips as well? Can i claim points on my ltd company profit/divdends plus salary...
Hi, I have now taken an appointment with the Nationality Checking Service in Hamilton, Scotland. I would be happy if someone can clarify the following: 1) Can I provide a combination of Payslips, employers letter, P60 and P45's for the period employment? To be specific, what want to confirm is, Exa...
Photocopies are not normally acceptable.
However in this instance as the HO failed to return it to you, I think it should work.
If anyone does not get their certificate back, please ask the HO to return it in the future.
You guys made it all too complicated
you declare your gross for the HO
and your accountant gave you the gross amount of the dividend
and that is what you declare.
Hi there peeps, :) I was wondering if someone would be able to advise me? Basically, I'm going to be 6 years legally in the UK next April 2010. During this time I have been a full-time English student and am currently both married to an EU person and a full-time student at university. Do I need to ...
I was just quoting what is mentioned in the link. To qualify to settle in the United Kingdom under the HSMP you must: * have been living legally in the United Kingdom for the last five years; and * currently have permission to stay in the United Kingdom as a highly skilled migrant; and * have been ...
Because my Malaysian passport has no Right of Abode stamp in it in line with new British regulations. I can definately enter on my Malaysian passport - but they'll say - "where have you been? Surely you must have another nationality if you have obviously been out of the country and have no ent...
Hello. I'm a dual national British/Malaysian. Malaysia does not recognise dual nationality. I have recently encountered a problem because of new UK immigration laws that won't allow an ROA stamp in the non-UK passport of a UK passport holder. My question is - having travelled in and out of Malaysia...
Thanks republique. What does "last year" mean tho ? The last 12 months from the date my application was received by the Home Office ? Are business trips outside the UK treated any differently ? this seems to be implied here : http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility...
Hi All ! I have been in the UK on Work permit since Jan 2002. I got my I.L.R in Feb 2006. I have generally stayed in the UK except for vacations totalling no more than 5 weeks per year. I did step outside the UK for 3 weeks in August 2008 and 2 weeks in Dec 2008. However, I have been abroad since t...
The facts: Granted ILR for long term residence in UK on 11th July 2008. I will be going to US for work for 1 year, departing on 25th June ie a few days short of year. I was thinking of applying for Nationality before I go. Can I? I was going to try and use the Nationality checking service via local...
Dear BatleyKhan I appreciate that if its the law, and it is required, then so be it. I'm not disputing that really. What does annoy me is that there are so many people out there who get here on a free ride (UK Border Force on TV gives a few examples), and we have to do some really hard work to pass...
