hi

This may sound a silly question , but I don't see a field for first name
section 1.6 says other name and 1.7 says Name at birth if different from above

So I am baffled as in where to enter my first name !

Please help

Thanks I found the below post with exact same query as mine, where you had responded but there is no conclusion: http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/citizenship-english-requirement-qualified-ilr-after-oct-13-t179871.html We in fact had proved the language requirement 6 years ago whe...

hi. I know this question has probably been asked before but I have seen conflicting info on this forum, so if you can help please I will be applying for BC based on Tier 1+1 year and I have proved my English language for initial tier 1 and extension based on Uk Masters degree. There is a line in the...

Seems the only solution is to pay solicators, how no clue how much it will cost

I am in same situation, have tried many times but seems there is no slot available at all.

I received a summons for Non payment of council tax on the 23rd of march to appear in the court on the 15th of april for pending council tax of £374. It also mentioned that if I pay the pending council tax + £55 costs before the date of hearing all further proceedings will cease. I paid £500 the...

No it's not related to IT only , any contractor can go down the Umbrella road. But there are many pros and cons going with an Umbrella or alternatively you can have your own limited company. I assume you are Tier1 holder , so overall for us it's less headache when you are with an Umbrella as you wil...

Hi"MPI" My opinion on your quires: 1- Would my 90+ single absence be justified? Absence of 120 days is apparently not justified. But you can improve your chances by claiming these under compassionate circumstances and producing evidence in support thereof and evidence of your continued ti...

well I don't agree with these remarks. If you check current rental properties on the market , you could see huge number of all inclusive offers by property owners . Reason be market is highly competitive and owners try to attact potential tennants . Therefore if it's clearly stated in the agreement ...

Hi Jami , glad i found this topic , perhaps you can help me as well : 2 years back I was suspended by my employer on full pay ( it was contractual issue and their fault therefore they accepted to pay me till case clarifies ) So I left the country for 120 days . I haven't exceeded my total 180 days i...

I haven't seen any posts here saying you need a council tax proof for ILR tru tier1, which posts are you talking about?

hi , just wondering if you could have been eligible for discretion as this clearly is a case where dicretion applies.

did your wife stated in the application that she stayed for more than 90 days or is this just being discovered by case worker when checking entry and exit stamps?

thanks

This post is kinda weird to me . I guess this question comes from a mind who follows the 'debit' style of living which is more common in Middleeast or East. In West majority live on Credit. That is to say even before your salary hits the account , your loans , mortgages , credits instalments , bills...

Due to this Consultation from HomeOffice there are confusion among Employer to hire a Tier1 Holder Just wanted to share with you my recent experience in Job search as I am looking to change my current position. I applied for number of vacancies thru job portals and when asked I told them that I hav...

The reason there are no concrete answers here is because this is a consultation. Whilst there are recommendations made, these are not final and the details will not become clear until the guidance is published. This happened with previous consultations where people go word-by-word on the consultati...

It would be good if moderators answered few frequent questions here at the start page perhaps , so that people get their immediate answers before interrupting more insightful conversations. Many just chase the trail to find an simple answer here and that’s why we see the a question like ‘ will T...

can't believe you could have a 'nap'

I was sleepless days and nights for extensions , let alone ILR

I am not sure about rules per studying along with tier 1 , but as a MBA holder , I don’t think it would practically be possible to do a tough course like MBA and work at same time( I don’t even suggest a part time work) The other thing you may consider is doing an MBA , will take you off the mar...

I read the arguments here , and am not for or against any of them. But one thing is for sure , quite occasionally UKBA’s statements are ambiguous and can cause confusion for even most sensible minds. I don’t see the reason to insult or use overly sarcastic remarks to humiliate someone who is jus...

Why on Earth do we then get a million posts a minute with people shouting they are about to loose their age points.......? well , don't blame them. many who come here exagerate their fears , hoping someone calms them down . It's like people saying omg , what about this , am I gona die , am i gona d...

That’s exactly why I switched from Barclays ages ago. My new bank , just give them a call and they produce your original statements for any date any time , posting it in 3 days( there is fiver for charge ofcourse) . But for us in desperate need of documentation , it is well worth money.

well , yes sorry , take the signatures out of the equation : Printouts statements +stamp = original bank statements I don't know the difference between bank printouts and online printouts really. I can tell you my experience though, I got my statements printed in the bank and stamped in the same bra...

Printouts statements +signature+stamp = original bank statements

IMHO

I am same boat as you are , I am told all we need is :

Payslips
Bank statments

90 days in a row
180 days in total.

if you planning for ILR SET(O) 5 year route.

I think in extreme scenarios yes that’s the solution , but it’s not just the money you throwing down the bin here but the fact that naturally these processes are stressful .
