All other relevant links to UKBA website are also provided - so read carefully. i did see that 0870 number and have also registered an account to try ...

hi guys...

i remember seeing a thread with numbers for peo s to book appointment.
can sumone plz point me to that thread...

the online option seems to be down...

thanks gerry and sush...

Sorry guys if this has been discussed before..I couldnt find the thread.. Thanks to the time calculator in the ILR FAQ thread I realise that the earliest I can apply for ILR is 30/12/11. How early can I ring a PEO for an appointment? i.e can i ring now or is there any rule to ring x days before 30/1...

thats right...you dont have to include the day you left and the day you returned..

for example if you left on monday and came back on froday of the same week..

the day count is 3....(tue,wed,thurs)....

My query is on Section 10A of SET(O) form re: cohabitation.. It asks to provide evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (upto a maximum of 2 years) i got the Tier 1 extension 3 years back and we have been living together since then. (2009,10,11). it seems they are only looking for...

Hi Everyone, I am holding Tier 1 (General) visa which expires in October, 2012. After that according to current rules I can apply for settlement visa. I have recently seen the following news on BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13714028 I just want to ask the forum members if they think the decisio...

yes, you can extend multiple times as per current rule to qualify for ILR. thanks jimmy.. i was thinking of extending my tier 1 g again so that i have enough cushion for ILR.. i will be eligible to apply for ILR in november 2011 if the rules doesnt change drastically.. however to be on the safe sid...

I was on HSMP for 2 years initially and am on Tier 1 General for 3 years currently [until nov 2011].

My query is :

- Is there an option of further tier 1 general extension when my current leave to remain expires in November 2011, instead of applying for ILR?

thanks for advise..

I am eligible to apply for ILR in May, 2010. Does it mean that (assuming if the Apr 2011 rule is implemented the way it was mentioned in Nov, 2010): 1) I need to show the same (or more) earnings as what was previously claimed when i applied for my Tier 1? 2) Would there be any maintainence funds re...

The introduction of the Criminality threshold for settlement to bring it more in line with that for citizenship (naturalisation) applicants sounds the deathknell for ILR applicants like me who have unspent motoring convictions. Applicants currently applying for citizenship (naturalisation) have to ...

However bad news is both Tory and Lib Dam agreed to put a cap on immigration ... with no details in their agreement so far. Question is whether this cap will affect those already present in the UK or be mostly about the newcomers?.. lets see whether the cap is on settlement / Probationary citizen s...

For all WP holders Immigration Wealfare is best option. WP holder case is different than Tier 2 and Tier 1. Lets see if they file the case next week, than all WP holders should support them (Moral + Money). I think that at this stage its not best option for WP holders to divert their attention to H...
