The limit for PBS Tier 1 (General) applications has been reached for November 2010. View article If I were applying early next year like February/March I would seriously consider to start applying real soon. You may find December 1st reopens and closes the NEXT day because they still trying to proc...

sanjacs is right!! be very careful. they will allow the mother to leave the country with your child even if you get an interdict(think its call that) which costs £2000 to stop her taking the child out. So you will waste £2000 on something that wont work. The fact that the mother is a foreigner all...

'Some businesses have been left in a situation where they are unable to sponsor anyone at all on a Tier 2 visa.' This is exactly what I have come across as I mentioned in my previous post about the company have 5 x Tier 2 visas and now 0. I am not speculating I am presenting facts here Source http:...

The immigration cap has so far affected Tier 2 visa applications more than Tier 1 visa applications. Some businesses have been left in a situation where they are unable to sponsor anyone at all on a Tier 2 visa.

I think Tier 1 individuals probably pay more tax than Tier 2 as they probably earn higher salaries. Ok I am generalising here but I doubt govt would cut off the hand that feeds them

[/quote]No, the preference for companies is still Tier-2 for obvious reasons. They are actively lobbying for protecting Tier-2 & not Tier-1. Effectively this means, if it came to it, Tier-1 could be sacrificed in favour of Tier-2.[/quote] Govt never does the obvious, so expect Tier 2 to be slashed

here is what will happen, in all likelihood: http://news.efinancialcareers.co.uk/newsandviews_item/newsItemId-28860 Perhaps this is the chance for all current Tier 1's to take advantage of the situation. I was offered a good job and package due to the fact that the company making the offer had all ...

How is this going to work? So if you already in under HSMP you can still get ILR but any new applicants NO?? Anyone who can shed a bit more light on this? Also what effectively will happen after you have done 5 years on a Tier 1 visa, can you go straight on ILR(see 2nd paragraph below) or Probationa...

I went through Workpermit.com on my first application, dont remember an acknowledgement letter, think workpermit.com may have that. Would it be the same reference number as the one on the HSMP approval letter? Its a 6 digit reference number

A good way to determine how early you can apply is to use what I have mentioned in the post above but do it in EXCEL In excel - Put the start date of your Tier 1 visa(STAMPED in your passport when you entered UK, 3 year visa) eg. 15/11/2007 - On next line, put the date you posted your extension appl...

Just gone through a couple of the latest postings for extensions and it seems pretty standard now that your START DATE for your extension is approximately 14-16 DAYS AFTER you posted you application. So to make sure you get 5 years ILR, Take the date your posted your application for extension and ad...

PK001 The reference number that you refer to on your previous application. Which number is that? Is it the reference number on the form from the Home Office , ie the form HSMP approval letter? Congrats, and again for other forum members there are now several posts now that confirm that if you apply ...

Great, well that answers it then!! Thanks

which probably explains why they recommend that you apply 28 days before the visa expires

You must apply before your current leave expires. How the date of application is determined, see When to apply . regards Ok, read that link, thanks, so technically you could apply say 2 days before, send it via courier or post and they use that date as the date of application. Although you will be ...

How long can you leave it before you apply for a Tier 1 extension, my expiry date is 27th august 2011, can I apply on the 26th August 2011? Or will this create problems in terms of me been in country and not having a visa to cover me while I wait for the visa? I want to take advantage of the new sal...

Yeah i believe this loophole has been closed, too many people taking advantage of this and 'the message' has been put 'out there' to start issuing visas from the date the application is accessed/approved. I entered the UK 3 weeks after I got my Tier 1 visa so some people may have a little bit of roo...

Hi, I am on Tier1 visa and my visa expires in October 2011. Currently I am doing a contract job with Limited company, so I want to know how the earning section needs to be shown when applying. Thanks! However you prove the salary requirements, please note that you will NOT get the extension from Oc...

Do remember that most airlines require a medical certificate after 28 weeks and will not let pregnant women fly after 36 weeks. Do check in advance with the airline you intend to travel with. regards Tot. I would like to know which airline will let you fly just before the 36th week?? From experienc...

I applied HSMP on 22 May 2008 and got approval letter on 22 Sep 2008. During this period new Tier 1 rules applied and I have maintained funds and got EC on this letter on 2 Feb 2009.
