She was initially on Tier 2 ICT extension which has expired already. Now I am not sure which category she can apply again. I think even my company cannot bring her in Tier 2 dependent if I have an ILR. Please advise the best route.

Thanks mate. Seems too long wait. I used to get a Biometric information within 2-3 weeks earlier. Now I am in my sixth week and still haven't got any information for biometric. My company says they are not going to write to UKBA enquiring the status until 6 weeks is over. Is there any other option w...

Thanks mate. You need to present strong evidence that while you were in India, you were still based in UK(had a tenancy agreement in your name and were paying rent, paying council tax or had a landline connection in your name). Just having a bank account will not build a strong case(since you won't ...

Thanks. I was not paid in UK because I am not a UK employee and I am a India based employee who is deputed in UK. During the gap I was paid in India in INR and I didn't get UK salary. During those periods of absences, did you continue to maintain a permanent base in UK? Your flat/house, rent, Counc...

I was not paid in UK because I am not a UK employee and I am a Indi...
