I believe you need to give details of your first arrival in the UK after getting the work permit.

Wrong forum, you need to post this question at http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewforum.php?f=44

You don't need to worry Wanderer as I am sure British High Commission Islamabad are able enough to explain "the reason" on their facebook page.

Thanks for your comment anyway.

As long as the degree you are using to obtain required points is accepted by the calculator to fulfil English Language requirement, you don't need a letter from the University or to pass an English Language test.

All visa applicants from Pakistan, I read through posts and find that a large number of applicants from Pakistan are facing long unexplained delays in their UK Visa Applications and some are getting their applications rejected for unjustified reasons.

Congrats on getting your PSW!!!! Hopefully in a year or so, we'll all be back in this forum discussing our success in obtaining our Tier 1 (General) visasm and who knows, after that an ILR and maybe even Citizenship!

woo hoo, now that's what called optimism.

Good good

Fari, can you please update us with the outcome? I hope you've got it and you are busy in packing.

Can you also let me know that how long did it take after Abu Dhabi said they had processed the application and had sent to Islamabad?

Whichever visa you got later has actually cancelled your earlier one.

I was on a work permit before I switched to Tier 1 General. It was stated very clearly in the letter I received with my Tier1 that my previous visa was cancelled, even though it was still valid for 2 years.

Once I needed to send some documents back home super urgently and I did it an unconventional way. I checked what time a flight was leaving to my city back home (daily flights). I went to the airport and requested couple of people if they could take my docs with them. Some hesitated even after lookin...

My understanding is that you'll need to pass this test even for ILR. Once you've passed it for ILR, you won't need to pass it again for the nationality.

Don't worry Azim, there is always an interpreter present at the immigration counters so lack of English language knowledge won't be a problem.

In terms of 'strong ties' Home Office normally considers only family ties or financial (Job, property, business etc) ties towards this condition.

There is a provision for a MEDICAL visit visa to be considered for extension if the visa holder, the patient, is required to stay beyond 6 months for the treatment.

For any other visit visa types, you can't extend or switch to a different visa category from wthin the UK.

In simple words, yes you can work in the UK under ILR spouse visa. But what other members are trying to explain you that you won't get ILR straight away instead you'll be granted a limited visa to start with.

Congratulations Gngmei! That was quick

Do you know of any university that offers a place to write a dissertation?

Tenancy agreement is not required as long as you show the evidence of required maintenance funds, but it is "nice to have".

I'd have gone with the option 1 as it will make your case simple.

But I think you'll get Tier1 in either option as long as you've got the required points. Your student status will not impact your application in any way.

21 years limit on spouse age is only for settlement visas. Home Office did clarify in the Tier 1 guidance notes that this restriction does not apply to Tier 1 dependants.

You'll need to show £533 + £800

I am on TIER 1 Skilled worked visa, I applied for Spouse visa of my wife from Lahore and it got rejected on the basis that "You are under the age of 21 and therefore do not qualify as spouse of your sponsor in UK" But in fact the age limit for Spouse visas of all PBS (Tier 1234) is 18. It...

She recieved a copy too... I don't think that's a big problem as long as you have recieved the determination here in the UK. It could have been lost in the post in Pak or they don't send a copy of determination to the applicant if you appeal through a solicitor. In terms of call letter, they will tr...
