When DG was asked in the Politics Show in BBC 2 that whether the effect of so called £31000 criteria comes in will people have to leave the country after 5 years, he said he does not know yet. And he was vague and didn't even want to answer that question publicly. I think he knows the result of that...
I phoned a day before posting to my bank and they asked for details of how much, how many transactions and I also said it would be next week. They did not guaranty but said if they had any problems they would immediately phone me. Fortunately no problems at all everything was fine. It is quiet a str...
Trying to take a photo for a 2 year old is an experience, really depends on your child would he/she be so quiet to adjust the chair height and behave inside the booth or frightened. there should not be any light from outside that makes the photo so blurred. The chair height would suit only adults, y...
1. You have to apply as Teir1 Extension there is no such thing as transtitional arrangement. 2. Ask your wife to sign the concent form to the bank at the section 6?? for the joint account consent. 3. It is generally not required but people tend to supply tenancy agreement... What you really need is ...
Yes. It really does not matter if you are applying together because you have already given authrorization in your application (main applicant) form and dependant maintenance are covered from there. But again no harm in signing also in dependant form just for completeness of application. This is of ...
My point is most of the people I know came here mainly because of the prospect of settlement, not that they wil not come if settlement is not involved but a considerable amount of their earnings will not benefit the UK economy. I don't think it's always the case. I completely understand your reason...
Since the cuts in funding to UKBA, there was no money to update in their website. Obviously, the news went to the private providers to publish in their website...
For the sake of clarity - interim caps were put in place to mitigate against a flood of applications ahead of the intended permanent caps next year. Push I agree with that, but I feel it is practically easy to make a permanant cap when the interim cap just brought in few voices against, from 1 poli...
'Some businesses have been left in a situation where they are unable to sponsor anyone at all on a Tier 2 visa.' This is exactly what I have come across as I mentioned in my previous post about the company have 5 x Tier 2 visas and now 0. I am not speculating I am presenting facts here Source http:...
ah... Professor Metcalfs' grandpa was an immigrant .. how sweet.. that's why, he is so good at empathizing with immigrants ?!? "empathizing" dont know about that, but I see an ever increasing hostility towards "foreign expats in the UK". Though the fault of present condition of ...
I am speculating that they might bring in ICT under cap, and would not include dependants in the cap. My theory is there had been too many news recently in the MSM about companies screeming for bringing in cap. The following link would prove my second point, since the Migration Watch is screeming ab...
With all the measures going on about immigration, just I am curious that Would anybody (Student and Work route) come to the UK if you are not allowed to settlement after certain period???
IF that is the case there is a problem And the problem is? John Oh I did not explan that clearly, right You see between the visa expiry date and the visa issue date there is a gap of 12 days and if I apply for extension a month earlier before expiry, that would be about 42 days in advance. Finally ...
Sushdmehta Thanks for clarifying, I also checked the ILR form and that you are right. IF that is the case there is a problem, because already there is a short of 12 days in visa and if the application is made before 16 days for any reason of the date of expiry and approved sooner, Then there would b...
In the sky news this evening: Randall put the question to Gove and Goves answer was. Well business will lobby for what they want not what the country needs. He explicitly said their main concern was that the immigration cap applies to inter company transfers. Randal agreed with this. Gove then said ...
Hi Sushdmehta Thanks for your reply and also for taking time to read my previous posts. Well I asked for my friend. Regarding your reply, I dont see that how would cover the five years. Because in the vignette the visa valid date is until 21 Oct 2013, does that not mean the visa is valid from 22 Oct...
Hi John I definately cant apply for ILR in 2011, Just I am thinking far too ahead, and also aware of some of the proposed changes. Anyway here it goes First on PSW then applied for Teir 1 G in country Visa issued 3 Nov 2010 Visa valid 21 oct 2013 For the five years residence do they consider from 22...
Thanks for your reply. The date given is an eg and not the case. Probably not good eg though. I am confused with the visa issue date and visa expiry date Should someone take the 28 day period from the issue date or expiry date. This is in particular with applicant being on student and changing to HS...
Sorry for stealing the thread, since the op's question was answered I thought I could add won for me. What if the applicant is already in the uk in different for eg in student and applied for HSMP there is visa issue date: 3 sept 2011 and 2 years HSMP visa valid until: 21 Aug 2011 Since the ILR form...
it is getting bad I think, since they dont consider even 2 months early extension. There are genuine reasons why folks may apply 2 months early like, bank statements, being on the safer side and so on...not particularly using the "loophole"
I do understand your position. But few things I was thinking for your case, Would you get extension for 2 years or 1 year perhaps, since HO may consider further extension for ILR lack but would they consider in case of applying for mortgage. Secondly, mortgage itself There are couple of banks like H...
Professor Metcalf: You can operate on the outflow of work to get the numbers down as well as operating on the inflow. The difficulty with operating on the outflow in the short term is that probably many of the people who are here have what sometimes they refer to as legitimate expectations of being...
