I have disclosed my convictions in my previous...

WP from X employer working for Y - you dont have a case IMO...

what you may get away with is, apply for Tier#1... then apply for ILR in couple of years and hope and pray HO will award ILR purely based on checking his tier#1 time period docs...

Did they ask for;

your marriage certificate?

Any UKBA letters on your WP?
Finally, did he specifically ask for four P60s?

Thanks....

Hi Congrats...

Did you have to provide your marriage certificate?

Hi All, thanks for all your responses... my qualifying five years run from July 2005 - June 2010. I don't have the P60 ending 31st March 2006. Also unfortunately I don't have any payslips for the first year. By the time I apply for ILR, I will have P60s for; Mar-2007 Mar-2008 Mar-2009 Mar-20010 - I ...

Hi, I will be applying for my ILR in June from Tier #1. I was in WP + HSMP then Tier #1. My solicitor says I need to produce all 5 P60s I don’t understand why he requires all 5 P60s. I have managed to locate the last four and the P45 just before the oldest P60. Seeing some of the posts here, some ...

MK78, I am totally making a guess here. I too fall in to the same category and i have read this application form few times... I think thy are expecting to see WP approval letters or visa... As they are talking about other categories like investor, writer, composer etc I am guessing its more relevant...

Hi All, I am asking this question on behlaf of a student... As the heading says, Can a student marry her boy friend who's in the UK as an assylum seeker (AS)?

Hi All, Sorry i have been away for a while and apologies if this question has been addressed here in the past... I got a Work Permit in 2005. The last time I visited here there were talks about challenging the HO requesting ILR for WP holders in four years same as the HSMP JR case... can someone ple...

Congrats to all the HSMP JR winners!! Go away and apply for ILR – well-done… I am a pre April 06 Work Permit holder who signed the petition addressed to the PM requesting to grant the same rights as HSMP JR winners for ILR purposes… Does anyone know what’s happening to this? I read somewhere...

HI All, Now that we are a day away from the HO announcement I am getting a bit nervous. . . Must admit I have been checking on this forum from the morning just in case there’s an announcement from HO… Is anyone else as anxious as me? I was on WP pre-06, so I only have an outside chance of qualif...

Can someone please type in the number here? I am a pre-06 WP holder who joined HSMP in June 06, I am going to try my luck to see if I might be eligible… then again it’s fat hope so I think I will stay put till 20th for the HO announcement…

I've done my bit... But when are we going to hear an exact word on this from HO? I thought the announcement was due today, 15/05/09?

It would be great if all WP holders also can follow the HSMP rule of 4 years!!

Hi All, I am sure the question has been asked else where, but please help here. .. As the title says, how does thr HSMP JR judgement affect the WP issued prior to April 06? I know there's a petition is being singed to be forwarded to Gordon Brown, apart from that does anyone know if the HO announcem...

When my renewal was due I was planning to show my business account with backing letters from the Accountant confirming that I am the only director and the sole owner to the funds in the account. I went through a solicitor for the paper work and he advised the letters from the accountant + companies ...

Thks, Signed. . . I was 804th to sign the peti. .

Thanks for the info........

peterkl81 - drop me a PM, I am an accountant with links to many in the field of self employment. . Might be able to help you. .

I have the same query. . I changed to HSMP in June 06, so I dont qualify on the JR case outcome for HSMP. .

I too am interested to know if I can apply for ILR in 4 years. .

I still like to believe when UKBA announces in May they will include the WP lot too. .

What are the thoughts of the others? I am so gutted I missed the cut off by couple of months......

I got my hsmp in June 06, doesn't the 4 year rule apply for WP holders then?

My understanding is WP & HSMP both have the same time lines for ILR. . So I assume I should qualify for ILR in 4 years? Am I wrong on this one?

Hi All, I am newbie here, so pls go easy on me. . Following the success of the case, I beleive all the people who joined the HSMP scheme prior Apr 06 will now qualify for ILR in 4 years. . I got my WP in June 05 then switched to HSMP a year later, Now I have completed 1 yr on WP, 2 years on HSMP and...
