True. They have to revise the guidance and form both. New forms with new fee and new documents required for different categories. Waiting with patience is most appropriate. Principally everything should have been uploaded with all new changes at 9 AM of 6th Apr 2011. Hmm weird, I just downloaded it ...

My understanding is NOT THE SAME INCOME LEVEL, rather same minimum qualifying points score existing at the extension stage Dear All, Appreciate your good work Forum!!! As per the new rules, I may need some suggestions regarding my ILR as it states Tier 1 (General) migrants will need to meet the same...

Just to confirm, if I am claiming income earned for the whole of 2010-11, I can submit an employer's letter which gives the total amount for the year which will ultimately correspond with the P60 and HMRC letter. Will that be sufficient? Since you have payslips as indicated in previous mails, you d...

Although Payslips and P60 should be treated different sources But Home Office treat it the same source I will recommend to order your 5 years Tax History from Tax Office So that will be an additional source and will verify your payslip and P60 Which is certainely from a 3rd party.. Good Luck Out of...

So for pre November JR cases extensio...
