Hi Sujyo,

thanks for your reply. Same story here, hopefully it will be safe to re-extend the Tier 1 again but basically my 5 year clock is reset now i guess!

Hi Sushdmehta,

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Everyone, Just extended my Tier 1 General last week and all went smoothly. But i am looking at spending more time out of the UK as i am self employed and my business needs me to spend considerable time abroad and i think this will be around 270 days per year. As far as i know this shouldnt impact...

Please note i made a mistake above, PEO appointment is next Thursday!

Hi all, I am due for my PEO appointment today and had my documents checked by my solicitor. And what do you know.......problem with maintenance fund! Basically i cocked up and didnt read the new rules so i have less than 900 quid in my account. But luckily i had some money in my German bank account ...

theres 3 options i was given: 1- fill out the application myself and they check it and get the PEO appointment: 750 2- above + they fill it out for 1000 3- above plus someones theres to hold my hand during the appointment 1250 But main thing for me was, i was desperate for an appointment and even ca...

Hi all, Just to let you know that i had a stroke of luck today and managed to get an appointment through First Immigration. Cost me 750 quid but hey what else could i do! Just to let you guys out there know be careful.........even when going through a solicitor, because i asked a solicitor to book i...

Hi all, Long story short...........desperately need to get a PEO appointment for my Tier 1 extension and cant afford to send via post as i have to cancel loads of business travel plans and cannot do that as i will wind up broke! So if anyone has got hold of a SUPER PREMIUM SERVICE booking where they...

hey funmiles, just a word of warning...........shouldnt affect your Tier 1 but make sure you read the rules on time out of country and just pop back for a visit to luvly UK every 60days or so. I am having some trouble at the moment after taking a simmilar expat assigment! will kepp you posted on how...

Hi Jagcv., You are right, basically i have the 5 years needed and also 10 years if needed plus the letter from my employer. But the problem is the absences. I am going to give it a shot........but not sure what will happen. So i was thinking along the lines of securing another 2 years first on Tier ...

no i have net applied yet as i wanted to renew my Tier 1 General first as a backup. The problem is a solicitor told me that because my case is not straightforward, it might take a few months but due to my work situation i need my passport to travel as i travel abroad every month. And the other issue...

Thanks Greenie........might just try and take it and give it a shot...........dunno what a translation would cost but prob costs the same as a new application!

Cheers

Hope that works! Just worried they might get cranky and reject the application. And since i am looking for a in person application, its a hefty amount to lose!

Hi guys, I am going for my Tier 1 General extension in a couple of months and getting all the documents together at the moment. As part of the previous earning requirement I will be showing earnings made during an expat assignment I undertook on behalf of my employer. So these “foreign earnings” wer...

I would really recommend coming back to the UK justto tick the boxes............i am in a simmilar situation and wish i had flown back to the UK just to stop the watch so to speak............my situation below....... Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 11:07 am Post subject: ILR application: 650 days plus abse...

Just a note , the self employment was maintained throughout the past 2 years in the UK. I.e the business address, bank accounts, VAT reg etc were all UK held. I was able to conduct the business while i was abroad.

Thanks1

Hi to all the valued members of this board! First of all ………..thanks to everyone on this board……………for the valuable information and also helping some of us sleep at night knowing there is some hope! I have read more or less all the posts releated to my issue over the past year, my conclusion is that...

Hi sushdmehta, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes i will probably have to fly back regularly anyways and thuis will not break the 90 day rule ( at least i hope this will mean something when i decide to apply for ILR). Another question, i switched to Tier 1 from HSMP in Sept 2009. This is in the period ...
