My wife delivered our second son in July this year in India and would like to apply for family settlement visa for him. I have couple of clarifications: 1. Which append...

If u hv android mobile, try android application - UK Citizenship Test...I prepared with this app every day during my spare time, and passed the test last week. This is 79p. Don't try the free version, as it has many bugs, and some questions have wrong answers. https://market.android.com/details?id=...

But the actual visa was stamped on April 13 2010 and the passport shows April 13, 2010. This happened beca...

Hi All, I have lived in UK for 4 years. My wife is currently on a Tier 1 General valid until January 2013.

Hi, I am applying for the visa extension for myself and my wife. We have separate bank accounts but my wife does not have the funds in her account.

Karthik, and all, Can you please clarify whether it is Gross dividend or Net Dividend that counts for Tier1 extension? Karthik, you wrote Net dividend... and "net" as per my understanding means "after tax deduction".. but you've written in brackets "without tax credit"...

Good question Hassan! It's been a common one recently. For the purposes of HMRC and everyone else except the UKBA, sole traders are self employed. Legally sole traders and their business are one and the same person. For a limited company set up, legally the company is one person and the individual ...

And in addition I can pay myself in the way of dividends. BUT, in that case, for the visa extension purpose, will my earnings in 12 month period be considered only the salary that I pay myself during 12 month period or, would it include the dividends that I pay myself in the period? Thanks for your...

I assume that 27 April 2009 is the date on the visa from when its valid. When did you actually apply the visa- was it before 31 March 2009? If so, then you should select the appropriate application date from the drop down and this gives an option fo Bachelors degree if application date is prior to 3...

Dont lose patience miki, you will get the positive response. Your lost passport may be the reason of delay, as you said you provided all the legal documents and this suggests that they are verifying it. So hold it, you will get the news soon. Congratulations VK82 !! It's party time. :lol: Thanks VK...
