Thanks for your response. If I wait another year, will that increase my chances to get the ILR approved. I entered the UK in Oct 2006 on the second work permit, If I do not count my previous stay in the UK (in 2004-05), I will have to apply for the ILR at the end of five years starting from Oct 2006...
Thanks for all your responses. Will it be worth going to an immigration lawyer and asking him/her to prepare my application. Actually, I received a job offer from the UK on the 342nd day of my absence from the UK. But, the work permit approval took three months as home office officials misplaced som...
Hello, I first came to UK in 2004 on a 5 year work permit, but I left in mid 2005 as the company I was working for went insolvent. I then went back to India. I took a job in India after reaching there. I then came back to the UK on a different UK work permit (again valid for 5 years) in Fall 2006. I...
I live and work in the UK and am plaiing to apply for canadian immigration under the "Skilled workers and professionals" category. Unfortunately, I have a UK police caution which was given after I had a fight with a family member and police was called. I have double checked and this is not...
I am am Indian citizen and live & work in the UK on a UK Tier-1 visa. As per the present rules, I will be eligible to apply for UK ILR after 5 years of my "lawful residence" in the UK, which is three years from now in my case. I am planning to apply for canadian immigration under the &...

Sue them a million pounds or at-least have them pay for your travel to and back from India to get replacement of original from university. Can I take legal action against UKBA? Do you have any proof that you sent the original degree certificate in the application envelope? Did you send a cover lett...
So all please be aware that all what gets told to us is not always correct! That's typical of telephone customer service staff here in Britain :) (No Offence). Every one thinks they are an authority in themselves and repeat the same thing over and over again even if they are wrong. The trick is to ...
Hello there, My payslip looks the same as well. Infact this is one of the statndard PAYE payslip formats. More formats are on the same website: http://www.payslipsp60.co.uk/ (Scroll Down) I recetly applied for Tier-1 and sent my 12 months original payslips and did not get any of them signed by my em...

To avoid any confusion regarding multiple nationalities, I specifically mentioned this above.
Your concept of the "main passort" seems to be flawed. If all these passports are of same nationality, then the latest one is your "passport", rest all are just previous booklets (which can have valid visas). Moreover you have to be in the UK if your "passport" is in th...
I believe, once you get a new passport (or additional booklet as they call it in India), all your previous passports are invalid and you are need to show the latest one while leaving your home country and entering a different country. Even though some of the visas are stamped on the previous passpor...
and unless your wife and son remained in the UK during your absence neither will that. As stated by Paul, significant ties to the UK must be shown for the time of your absence . Thanks again for your response. To be honest, there were no "significant" ties to the UK in the 466 days period...
So, unless you can show your significant ties to the UK during your absence then ILR is unlikely on this occasion. You will need to wait until the end of 5 years starting entry in 2006. Provided that you continue to meet the requirements for ILR. Thanks for your response. The best I can do at the m...
You seem to think naturalisation and ILR are the same thing, they are not. You need to get ILR, then you can be naturalised. The rules you found are for naturalisation, not for ILR. For you to get ILR as a work permit holder you need to have spent a continuous period of 5 years lawfully in the UK. ...

I noticed yesterday that the Tier 1 dependant form has been updated to version 08/08. I was surpised to see this as I sent my family's Tier-1 dependant application along with mine (main application) just a week back and I have sent version 06/08 for dependant applications. For main application I hav...
HI Shalini, The information you are asking is mandetory. I'm sorry, but I can't understand this. If this information is mandatory then there should be a section in the Tier-1(general) application form requesting the details. I recently sent my Tier-1 application from within the UK and did not menti...
Sorry for being thick, but want to know that how do HO send the reference number out. Is it by Post or by email. I sent my application on Sunday and it was delivered today morning (no deliveries on Monday for post sent out on Sunday :x ). I checked with my bank and no amount has been taken from my c...
Are your dependant with you presently in the UK? If yes, I believe you should get their status changed at the same time as yours. If they are in their home country, then you will need to get their Tier-1 approved before they plan to arrive in the UK. One more thing, did youe send your Original Owrk ...
Hello, I am sending the T1 application and am double checking all the suuporting documents, just wanted to check that what supporting documents do I need to send for my son's application. I am applying from within the UK and my son is around 2 years old. So far, I have only included my Son's passpor...
Hello Guys, I am sending my Tier-1 application today. I am applying from within the UK (switching WP to Tier-1). The bank statements I have for proving maintenece funds are dated upto 27 Sep. Will this be OK? The statements I have are original statements and not online print-outs. I am in two minds ...
Hello Guys, I am sending my Tier-1 application today. I am applying from within the UK and am switching from WP to Tier-1. I was wondering wether I need to include any self addressed & stamped envelope (like a special delivery envelope) for return of original documents & passports from HO. I...
