Hi Everyone, I'm on dependent visa now & planning to shift to Tier-2 Visa. I have seen in one document that the in country applicants will not be counted in the Tier-2 limit. Is it true? Since I'm on Dependent visa inside the country, will I also dont come under the count? Also please let me kno...

Hi All, As I dont meet the ILR criteria according to new rules & also my visa expires very soon, i wont have any option left if i dont get ILR other than leaving the country. I have consulted many solicitors, few among them have advised me to go for ILR & once they reject the case, they aske...

Unfortunately, the statement has been misinterpreted and posted on the forum as "transitional arrangement clues". U r right.. I think there r no transitional arrangements for Work Permit holders after spending 5 yrs on it. They need to apply as a fresh application. But a person on Tier-1 ...

Ryco1200: Congratulations! Could you please tell me how the Case worker checked the Salary criteria. Did she just checked with the employer letter or did she cross check your pay slips as well.

@ALI74:
Do you have any information reagrding the transitional arrangements if we dont meet ILR criteria.

Hi All, I have a question : What if my designation in WP is mentioned in the COP and I am paid less, will my application be rejected. just give an example that lets say my WP states my designation as A but I am on WP and in COP this designation is or should be paid higher than what I am getting at p...

Hi All,

According to the new ILR rules implemented today, if we dont meet the requirement will theer be any transitional arrangements after 5 yrs on that visa?

There are no ILR rules mentioned for OLD Work Permit holders.

Should we take the rules for Tier-2 as granted.

The form set(O) says work permit holders need to meet the salary as in COP. 10(B) Work permit holder If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain on completing 5 years’ continuous stay in the UK as a work permit holder, in addition to the relevant documents in 10A, you must provide the follo...

@Sushdmehta:

Thank you soo much for the explanation.

Now I got your point. Thanks once again.

@Sushdmehta:

I couldn't find anything in that paper & also couldn't understand what u ppl r saying.

Are you saying the rules will be implemented from tomorrow but the final decision will be taken on April 21st?

Sorry for the trouble.

Are the new ILR rules going to be implemented from tomorrow?

There is no guidance form released so far?

How can someone who is applying tomorrow can be prepared?

Yes it is not FPN, i went to court & paid the fine. It is unspent conviction.There is no doubt in it.

@Littlerice:

Thank you for your advice. Once the rules are out I will definitly consult a lawyer as a last trail.

Will update you people after consulting the lawyer.

But I still wonder why they have not yet announced the rules when they are going to implement them from 6th April.

@littlerice: I wont be qualified for ILR becoz i have unspent driving conviction & also my salary dont meet the salary mentioned in COP. Now i just want to now if there will be any transitional arrangements for us without meeting the salary in COP. That is the only option I have orelse i need to...

Does anyone know how a caseworker can check the criminality threshold for a person.

Will they have all the records of a person regarding the criminality threshold.

What will happen if we submit the application without disclosing the unspent convistions?

@Bani: I have checked the underlined portion of your post but according to my understanding the new salary threshold they mean here is £ 20000 minimum salary for Tier-2. But for extension i think we need to meet the salary according to COP. But if we meet salary is COP then we will get ILR itself. ...

Hi all, I went through the document where it is saying about transitional arrangements. Do you people think if we dont meet the salary criteria for ILR can we apply for extension of Work Permit visa after 5 yrs without any salary criteria??? I mean even if i'm not getting the salary mentioned for my...

I agree with Gopaalan

Hi .. But will there be any transitional arrangements for someone who is on Work Permit Visa for 5 yrs. In UKBA website they say that after 5 yrs on Wort Permit or Tier-2 visa we cannot extend it further but we need to process it as a new application even though we work for same employer. Any commen...

Hi, I’m eligible for ILR in May 2011. I’m on old work permit visa. If they new rules are implemented I will be eligible for ILR. The only option I will be left with is to leave the country as my employer is not willing to process my Tier-2 application(we cant extent the work permit visa after 5 ...

Even I have these doubts about salary criteria..
We dont have any salary criteria when we got work permit.
And also i dont know from how many days we need to show this salary.
