HSMP JR applicant's are immune from pretty much every recent changes in Immigration rule. Anyone else (in Work related settlement) will need to take Life in the UK test.
I agree with Casa. You have many options to consider now but after two years you will not have much. so seek advise from experts. there are a few a online solicitors which's a free service.
They did not agree with claim and returned all the documents with the verbal advice to apply in Sep.2011 No fee was taken. For any doubtful case PEO Solihull is the best choice This is a very useful info. It's worth travelling to Solihull from anywhere in the country rather than loosing around 2k. ...
1, switch back to full time and then appeal. Have you discussed this with the Lawyers? I would also suggest to fight for it as you can see the UKBA are now consulting to pretty much stop the work related Settlement (or grant it only to people who earn more than 150k or Nobel price winners!). It wil...
For Work Permit holders the Salary should be at or above the appropriate rate for the job as listed in COP and the Employer should certify this. More details available on UKBA website.
I rememeber reading somewhere in this forum 'one will get same points for age as in your last application to remain' irrespective of birthdays and age when applying for ILR
It would be worth checking old threads and use the search fecility
Experts here would be able to advise.
But my advise to you is try to apply before April 6th (if eligible) as that date in every year come up with a lot of new rules. All the best.
1. My job title is not listed in the codes of practice. 2. If I choose one title near to my roles but with different job title will I be breaking the rule" any changes in job need to be informed to home office". Many thanks. I was exactly in the same situation and to be honest no one know...
many many congrats on ur ilr mine in next 2 months my wp shows 14500 pa do i need to worry anything about my case or any other info please help yhanks As sushmedtha wrote it is not the amount of salary that matters but whether you are being paid at the appropriate rate for the job you are doing. so...
i think its annoying, personally i think a letter should be sent immediatly as a courtesy to let the applicant know that they have their application. That why people are paying premium fees for. :!: I could've saved around £ 600 if the application was sent via post. But we chose to pay that extra ...
My job title is not on the COP and my Employer has given me a certificate saying the Salary is paid above the appropriate rate (with out any code mention - as it's not available). would this be sufficient?? Appropriate to what? If you / your employer cannot figure out the closest match to your job ...
What's your plan Gerard820? Are you going to re-apply or since you were denied thechance o appeal, going for a court review?
If you are planning for the second I think there would many other people in the same situation and it's worth considering a mass action by collecting all these people.
is it necessary to mention SOC code in the Employer's certificate? My job title is not on the COP and my Employer has given me a certificate saying the Salary is paid above the appropriate rate (with out any code mention - as it's not available). would this be sufficient? Even the UKBA customer care...
The rule says that your dependant partner can apply with you if they have lived 2 years in UK. It does not say anything about continuous stay or period of absence. I think it should not be a problem if partner has stayed for 2 years continuously in the 5 year period. Even the Set O form doesn't ask...
When applying ILR do we need to show them all 3 -5 years income statement or just the last year when we are applying for ILR? Please advice me so that I can struggle a bit more to meet the level of income. You will never know when these guys change the rules again (there would be an election in May...
The below is an extract from my KOL pass certificate
.... Your success at this test also demonstrates that your level of competence in English meets the required standard for naturalisation or Indefinte leave to remain. No further proof of this is needed
In between, if your job title is not in COP, what income criteria are you talking about? is it the Salary on your Work Permit at the time of it's issue?
Either KOL (Life in the Uk) or ESOL. You don't need both, but you do need one of them. I agree to disagree! Anyone who registered for ESOL before 23.11.2010 can only use the ESOL qualification as a proof of Knowledge Of Life (KOL) in the UK. Everyone else(except the categories that are exempt) must...
I would be great if you let us know the employment letter format for others as a work permit holders. So other WP holders could have some idea how it should be represnted on emplyement letter.
