Hi T0mmy, I'm about to complete set O v12/12. Which document you have to support in section 6 (6.3), page 13 (reson for absence) 1) Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid annual leave from the UK? 2) Letter from applicant detailing reasons f...

Now that I am filling the form I have a few other questions. 6.1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based. As I was already in UK when i was granted WP - wha...

Sonakshi:I think you should be alrite. I will be applying with same docs (stamped and signed payslips and bank statements). I applied with the same in my last Tier 1 G extension and went OK. wasnt asked for any additional docs.

LostInCountry: you are right. It should be 1 Nov to 31 Oct. Thanks for correcting me otherwise I may have lost a month's salary.:-( InUKOnHsmp: I will try to do the photo copies. One question today I have ordered for bank statements. I ordered last week but the bank says there is no such request for...

Hi Guys, I will be applying in 2 weeks for my ILR through PEO croydon. WP stamped in January 2008.(already in UK) Tier 1 G granted in September 2008. Tier 1 G extended in July 2011. Following are the documents which I intend to submit. so please correct me if I am missing anything. 1) Set(0) form (1...

Thanks for the reply. Also what did you mentioned in the earnings section. did u show two different sources or 1 source. I think I will show two sources as that what the payslips say and if possible have that letter to explain. Also would the letter unnecessarily complicate the issue? Or if I don't ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I have booked an appointment for 31 Dec - hope there are no issues like staff shortages or it doesn't "snow" during that time :-). I read somewhere last year they had to cancel some appointments becoz of this. I have another question: I got a job in company A in...

Hi Guys, A quick confirmation. I got a company sponsored workpermit on Jan 24 2008(passport stamped). I was already in UK. I switched to Tier 1 general in September 2008. Since then I have had 1 extension and currently valid till sept 2013. Does switching from work permit to tier 1 affects the 28 da...

Congrats.
Need some advice on booking the PEO appointment. For last few days I have been trying to get one but none available. Any specific times you tried ?

Hi guys, My ILR is due in January 2013(Workpermit issued in January 2008, then converted to Tier 1 General). I am currently on Tier 1 General. My 10 years residency also happens to complete in Feb 2013. I have a question regarding the criminality threshold. Before 2007 I had some council tax letters...

Congrats. You mentioned at the time of applying you were un-employed. I have read many times in these forumns it's better to be employed and take employer letter etc - though there is no mention of this in the application form for non-tier2/work permit holders so we need only to meet salary criteria...

OK my mistake didn't read 3(2) clear. this section applies to our case.
The child BC parent by descent needs to live for continuous 3 years before the child's birth in UK. It doesn't need to be the immediate 3 years before birth - somehow I thought the 3 year period is just before birth.

Thanks for the replies. Let me make it clear. The child hasn't been born yet :-) but will be in future. So we are looking for the best option for the child citizenship. One of child's parent is BC NOT Both. The BC parent is NOT born in UK so BC by descent cannot be passed to the child if born outsid...

Thanks again. I guess it wont be an issue for the child if born in uk. Section 1(3) applications - children born in the United Kingdom to parents who are now settled in the United Kingdom If the child's parent has become settled in the United Kingdom or becomes a British citizen, the child will have...

Thanks for the quick reply. the following last para explains it: If you were born outside the United Kingdom or qualifying territory and your parents were British citizens by descent, you are not a British citizen. However, you may be able to apply to register as a British citizen (see registration ...

a quick correction. The case is about a friend of mine.

Hi guys,

I am a british citizen currently out of UK. I gained my citizenship through my parents. I was NOT born in UK. I wanted to ask about my child's citizenship if he is not born in UK. Does he needs to born in UK to qualify for uk citizenship.

Phew - thas a relief. came close to being chucked out. But you never know.
Congratts.

If we assume the new rules wud only be for post April 2011 new applicants wich is more likely to happen-
then how wud the govt bring down net migration . Elections are due in 2-3 years and rules wud be applied after that? Very fair for us

Hope u r correct barker.
Otherwise like most ppl here I am bust.

they said formal announcement this week. Tense week coming up folks. fingers crossed!

just wondering whether this rule will be applied for tier 1/ work permit holders or for applicants applying under the 10 year long residency as well?
the sun article clearly says about 5 year migrant visa holders... My 10 yr is gonna be next year.

This is bad. Going by past rule changes- this rule won't/shouldn't be applied to all applicants. But you never know. I have a feeling our time is up. Home sweet home. Surely the rules in place of our visa/extension should be applied. I have seen ppl saying these rules will be applied for visa applic...

congrats bongaye.
One thing- how did you get your CRB check carried out. Discolsure Scotland or through some other agency?

Thanks. But I am bit confused now. Getting the letter from Company A who I left nearly 3 years ago is not possible. Also as I mentioned I switched my workpermit under company A to Tier 1 visa(formerly hsmp). So the main question is: Applicants who have converted work permit to Tier 1 visa - do they ...
