Thanks vinny for explanation.

And netacct you are very right, I just thought I would at least know what the present rules are but very rightly said, I guess it hardly matters what it is now, 5 yrs is a long time and thus would see whatever the rules are at the that time.

Regards

Vinny,

The url you are pointing does help but still it does not answer my question. Either I am not able to read between the lines. Would be helpful if could explain all that and answer my query.

Thanks

Thanks vinny for the reply. I saw the post mentioning one should send the app for ILR at the most 28 days from visa expiration. Please check the 2nd post here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=158595&sid=dfc4acf7f23ba4340c97aba0126f7d6d Does this mean that those who do not land w...

Hi, This is what I am trying to understand: For ILR the one of the requirements is that one has to be in UK for the past 5 years from the date of the application. My visa starts from 1st Dec 2008 and valid for 3 years till 1st Dec 2011. After the 3 year period I would apply for another 2 years exten...

Hi hsmpinuk70/mangpop, mangpop: sorry to hear abt the rejection.

All,

Have withdrawn my application for fear of a rejection as I did not maintain the 3 months funds clause...will re-apply after 3 months...

All the very best...

hi gmhsmp... I have withdrawn my application. The maintenace clause applies to ALL (thats what I believe now), even to those who already have the hsmp approval letter. If you have been maintaining 2800 over 3 months then its not n issue but pls be careful if thats not the case. I would apply again a...

hey cskmail, The high commission does not return the original hsmp letter. Please go through the earlier posts. You need to re-apply with a photocopy of the approval letter or if u dnt have one then u can just mention the same in the covering letter, do give the ref.#. This should be sufficient. But...
