Thankyou Manas for stepping in. Debsen, I'm not ignoring you, but there are those who have more knowledge than I have on this type of application. Thanks Casa!! Yes, just because one is economically inactive, how can a T1G application be denied of ILR, even if the applicant meets the point criteria...

Regrettably this is a good example of why no application that isn't 100% straightforward should be submitted in person at a PEO. The checking officers there simply don't have the authority to pass anything which requires further verification. It may be some time before you hear anything as your app...

What is this ? ...................... BUSINESS PLAN APRIL 2011 - MARCH 2015 26 To achieve a reduction in net migration, we will need to ensure that restrictions on people coming to the UK are complemented by an increase in those leaving the country. The government has therefore proposed to break th...

Hello Manas You sound very confident on this. When are you due for ILR and what are your thoughts for HSMP PRE 7TH NOV 2006? I am due in Nov 2011 and currently very confused with the overall situation. Clearly The statement of intent has left so many people confused . You said people who got their ...

rohit, I've tried number of times, I came on HSMP post December 2006 and switched to Tier 1 during extension in June 2009, I get only two options in Qualification section, either Master's Degree or PhD. I tried again couple of mins ago, still the same. Regards, bon If you have a look at this link i...

We are all waiting for these new rules thats it. I am still confused i was in WP and there was no tiers at that time, If i do not have sufficient salary as per the new rules what will happen, I have worked 7 years for same employer and I am really worried now as I am just falling short by 2 days of...

Guys i was wondering when these statement of intenet will become a rules? if rules are changing from 6th april , it must be sometime in this month? is there any particular date set to get these rule published? Thats a good point. Anyone know this? Please share Somewhere in this forum I read (probab...

Hello Guys Please could you advice if I'll be elligible for ILR? Came to UK Feb 2008 on Work Permit which is valid till Oct 2011. My company will extend this to Tier 2 ICT in OCT for 3 years. Will I be elligible for ILR when I complete 5 years (Feb 2013) or should I change my visa to Tier 1. I know...

Also, check out the points calculator now, if you are extending your visa application under Tier 1 (General) category and if you put any date after 31st March 2009 as your your last successful Tier 1 (General) application with Bachelors Degree (4 - 5 years of duration) gives you 0 points. :) The da...

"Tier 2 migrants You can count the period between the migrant being granted entry clearance and the date they entered the UK towards the five year period providing it is no longer than three months." Hi Horsehorse, Can you tell me where did you get that explanation from? Thanks. Really in...

Otherwise, what we have seen so far pertaining to Immigration rules (including the recent announcements of immigration cap, abolishing T1G, Settlement rules change etc.), all these changes/amendments in Immigration rules take effect from April only. An assumption without basis . IMHO! regards Thank...

No one can tell you today what the rules may be in the future (e.g. - 2012( regarding settlement. e.g. - 1. What if the govt. announces further changes to the requirements between April 2011 and the time you become eligible to apply? ---------------------------- Unfortunately, no one can give an an...

However I'm very worried the govt will change the ILR time to more than 5 years during this time (april – Aug 2011) IMHO, you are worrying without a valid reason! But if you wish to, you may switch to Tier 1 (General). Can anyone tell you if the above statement has any basis? No. Assuming your su...

Where doe it mention on the policy guidance that criteria should be same for extesion application. I have gone through the policy guidance no where it mentions that criteria should be same. Even if you are different salary band your application will be granted if you score minimum required points. ...

My friend has been rejected not because of new rules but because of the new bands that were created recently and would make the applicant fall outsite the bands, thereby not getting enough points for earnings (very similar to the case of Jigar described here). As suggested, the best and safe bet is...

Year required for residency is mainly governed by European Union law. I have seen it somewhere recently on EU website but do not remember where. The previous government changed the rules for minimum continuous period of stay required for Settlement in April 2006 (from 4 to 5 years). Was not the EU ...

From ilrdilemma's reply it is clear that Jigar may not apply for his ILR because of his timing regarding initial Tier 1 application and new rules for earnings that came into affect. A friend of mine had the same problem last week...(Poor guy lost 1950 GBP in the process, he said the home office was...

but rushing them will not make any difference, will it. all we are doing are just talking about it. do UKBA regularly monitor this forum for our concerns, if not, what are we doing about it. Are we sending any letters or anything to them to make them listen. That's the point: a lot of people ARE se...

As we announced back in November, there will be substantial changes to other parts of Tier 1 and Tier 2, and developing these has taken some time. In another thread, one of the members posted the following information in reply from the Local M.P. "We are mindful of the impacts that changes to ...

I agree with you UKSWUS. Maybe we do not need to worry about Tier 1 extension but I feel that the ILR rules will not be good. I hope I am wrong. what is the benefit if I can extend my stay for another 4-5-7 years without getting the ILR or citizchip? Indeed, changes in ILR rules (apart from the alr...

@Manas: Did they mention the Date as 6th April 2011?? Where did they tell? You have send me previously the link( For Nov 24th ) which says about the proposal to introduce new rules for PR from 2011 April.. Is that you are talking about.. The info which you have provided for me earlier is very usefu...

Are the rules which were introduced on NOv 24th 2010 are definately being implemented from April 2011.. But so far they have not mentioned anything clearly about them in settlement section. Will there be no consultation on that before introducing? They do not appear now in Settlement Section most p...

My sincere apologies to you all for confusing you guys regarding the latest TIG application form!! Indeed, it is the 14th Dec edition, which is the latest one. I wanted to mean the latest POLICY GUIDELINES for TIG, which is dated 23rd December 2010!!

I am currently working under Tier 1 (General) category, which was switched from Tier 2 (Intra company transferee) in June 2010. I have entered in UK in month of August 2006 and staying in UK since last 4.5 years. It seems, new rules for Settlement are coming in place from April 2011. One of them me...
