My history has been as follows Feb 2008 - Mar 2009 - WP Mar 2009 - Mar 2011 - Tier 1 Mar 2011 - Mar 2013 - Tier 1 ext 1. Since my current leave expires in Mar 2013, I am eligible for ILR bey...

Thanks all.

So that means my wife will have to go back and apply.

Good luck to all.

Thanks. I had a look at that link and several others on the BIA site, however they all assume that my dependent is not in the country and give me procedure on how I can get them in the country to stay with me. In my case, my wife is already here but on a student visa, also my Tier 1 application was ...

Hi, I am in the UK on a Tier 1 General visa, which was applied from within the country when I switched from a work permit to Tier 1 some years back. My wife has been in the UK for the last 3 years on a student visa. Can I now apply for her Tier 1 Dependent Visa within UK or does she have to apply by...

Thanks for clarification.

I saw that in the guidance notes, but the website says for a full 12 month period.

Also, does the same rule applies for ILR too?

Is it ok if I apply for ILR while still being unemployed (on a Tier 1).

Thanks sushdmehta. No she was not born in the UK and does not have british passport. So that means she will have to go back and apply for Tier 1 dependent?

Hi, I am in the UK on a Tier 1 General visa. My wife is also in the UK but on a student visa. Can someone please tell me - If my wife has to apply for Tier 1 dependent can she do it from within the UK by going to PEO or by post? or does she have to go to her home country to do it. - Is there any dif...

Hope it help

Next step Thanks and good luck to you too. However if I only claim for the last 7 months I dont get enough points...I dont need 12 months but I need more than 7. Hence I was planning to claim Feb 2010 - Jan 2011 OR Feb 2010 - Jun 2010, Aug 2010 - Jan 2011 In first case, assuming that the rule doesnt...

Thanks for the reply...It definitely helps.

But does that mean that I can claim Feb 2010 - Jun 2010 and then again Aug 2010 - Jan 2011.

I am claiming for a 12 month period within 15 months but has a break in between.

Anyone ?

Hi, I have a question regarding the duration of earnings in the Tier 1 Form. There are several boxes for 'from' and 'to'. I plan to claim earnings from Feb 2010 to Jan 2011, however in between there was a gap in Jun 2010 when I was not working and received no income. Will my duration still be Feb201...

Thanks for your replies. I believe that I did not clarify fully regarding the earning criteria. My earnings for past 12 months is 40K+ which give me 45 points and total points is 105. However even if I show income for say 6 months I still get enough points but my total points for application is 75. ...

Can someone please reply ?

Hi, I have an in person appointment for Tier 1 Extension very soon and have few queries - I easily qualify for the earnings criteria and I am getting full points.

Thanks for your reply.

Can you please clarify how does this work if I apply by post.

Do I need to enroll for biometrics before I send out my application, or should I do it after I send it ? What is the exact chronological steps ?

Hi, I am planning to apply for a Tier 1 Extension very soon and need some clarification regarding biometric. Is that required for Tier 1 Extension.
