I'm doing an ILR application and wanted to clarify if I should have been in UK exactly 5 years prior to the date of application. I am applying about 20 days prior to the 5 year completion and have an in person appointment for 2nd May. I entered UK on 19th May 2008 ( Out of country, approved for EC o...

Having looked at the forum, and guidance still have a few questions that are confusing 1.4 - Full name - is this just your first name or do you also add your last name( also my surname) here? ( considering Q1.5 is Surname) 5.3- What is your pay each month? My Net has been different every month for t...

Managed to book an 9 am appointment next week at solihull. I am checking to see when the process normally completes, so i can get an idea of when i can return ( to book tickets).. I know that in worst cases it may delay, but what is the general guideline?

O.k, that does help. I will try to get a letter from employer stating the pay and work location to prove that i was employed in UK.

Sushad/ other seniors, any suggestions.. I am desperateto get views on this.. i would appreciate any help.

My appointment was on 17th Oct at 9 AM. Initial Checks by an UKBA officer: Questions asked, 1.You were on workpermit before Tier1.Do you have documents to prove your employment with them? 2.Do you have cohabitation documents to prove that your wife has been living with you in the last 2 years. Hi, ...

Folks/senior members any suggestions?
Has anyone had any problems with P-60's that were printed out? are the P-60's normally asked for those from a WP+Tier-1 route?

The situation is as below. I have an appointment scheduled next week for my ILR. Over the past 5 years i have been on WP for approx 2.5 years and on Tier-1 for the rest. Currently on the tier-1 employment. My question is about the P-60 validity. All the P-60's i received in the first 3 years of my e...

I have a similar query.In addition to a letter from just the current employer do we need a letter confirming previous employments or would a P-60 suffice? In my case i noticed that my first P-60 does not have my NI number mentioned on it, will this cause any issues? Appreciate any information on tha...

What visa are you currently on?

HO must consider Gross Dividend but not Net dividend. You can appeal. 100% this is right and it is according to HO policy. Make an appeal, Case worker did a mistake. however, your dividend voucher should clearly mention Gross and Net dividend. All the best.... Best example: Myself. Correct advice. ...

It looks like many of us are in this kind of a situation and unfortunately, nothing can be done unless the guidance changes, or some one takes the HO to the court and win an argument.

Thanks for the response, after reading a few recent cases in the forum, this is getting very muddy. What happens if and when we apply together, and for some reason as seen in this forum many times, Home office decide to not agree my wife's ILR. what is her status in that case? She has been with me i...

Hi, This forum has been very helpful in understanding various queries. I've gone through a few other posts on this forum, but still would like to post m and seek some suggestions, as each case is unique. I came to UK in October 2006 on a WP with my wife as a WP dependent. In Jan 2008 My wife receive...

That is ridiculous, saying that it is up to the case worker. There should be a clearer guide line on what scenario's are applicable.

Do senior memebers have any answers/ experiences that they can share?

Hi, Have gone through a few posts stating the the maximum one can spend outside a country is 90 days in a year . My question is - Is this 90 days in one stretch or is it that no of days outside UK should be <90, no matter how it is taken. - How is the year calculated. For e.g, If i go to india in No...

Help on pg 67 of the application form.

However in B13 they again ask all the previous PB reference numbers. So i am assuming the recent applications would fill this, and any mails you recieve from H.O, would refer to the H.O our reference number. Is this correct?

On Help for B10 says - The applicant may have numerous Home Office reference numbers and should provide all such numbers.

So i am not sure if they are referring to the refused applications as well.

I am referring to section -2 Personal Details. in the application
Questions B10,B11 or B13 etc... where can i find more info about these categories? help on these is limited and need more clarification, if any one can offer help on these.

Hi, Trying to reapply for Tier-1 after a recent refusal. When applying again do i need to mention regarding the previous application (refusal one). I am applying from within U.K for a fresh Tier-1. I am a W.P holder currently. Please can someone clarify, as I am trying to post my application this we...

Can anyone guide me as to whether I need to mentin regarding the previous application ( refusal one) when i apply again?

You can only use a uplift depending on the plaace of working. If you work in Canada, then you need to apply with the uplift applicable to Canada. ( whatever it is).

...u can have a look at it, but not sure how to send attachments.. There should not be any issue. Please see point no. 110 of page 20 of tier1(general) policy guidance. Thanks, had a look at it, I think this should be o.k, By the way do you have any idea as to whether the salary I show and the sala...
