why she asked that if you have >90 absence in a stretch ? if you had said yes then what she has done ? any idea ? If he had said yes, the CW would have asked for proof that the absence was for business purposes or for compelling reasons. Failure to prove this would mean that his 5 year counter was ...

On which date was your visa set to expire in 2009? Did you stay in the UK illegally between 12 Aug and 22 Aug? If your visa had expired before 22 Aug 2009, was there anything written in the rejection letter from the caseworker giving you a delay to reapply or a delay to leave UK?

Unfortunately not. By spending over 90 days out and without a pay slip to prove you were economically active in the UK, your 5 year counter for ILR has been reset. You should extend your current Limited Leave to Remain (Tier 1/Tier 2?)

Hi,

Has anyone here used Fragomen - http://www.fragomen.com to represent them for a PEO ILR application? And does anyone know if they are OISC registered?

Many thanks

Clearly, weekends out of the country are not using paid leave, as people are not paid for the weekend, but why on earth the UK cares what you do on your weekend is beyond me (so trips to Brighton are fine, but to Calais are not). They also made it clear that Paid annual leave is now counted towards...

Hi, End of august it will be 9 years that I have lived in the UK legally. I first entered the country end of August 2003. I am currently on a psw visa expiring in may 2013. I am short by 3 months and a few days, I have never overstayed and have no convictions. I am starting a new job in a bank and ...

Hi Mate, I have bad news. It is highly unlikey (based on my recent experience with my wife 2 weeks ago) Yes, the UK does care where you spend weekends. We are an Australian couple living in London for over 5 years. My wife went in to get her ILR after having done the Life in the UK test. We have go...

Hi Jegdis5 That's what I have said to you in my previous post that its not your fault that you haven't got your NI No at that time. Smith Stone and Walters they have quoted me nearly £2000 excluding the PEO fees. They are really expensive!!!!! Yes quite expensive. workpermit.com charges £1300 for f...

Yes by post, but I don't see why face to face should be different as long as you apply within the 28 days limit?

Hi, I arrived in Uk on 11/03/2007 on work permit. I was not in uk for 101 days from 05/01/2008 till 20/04/2008 as My wife was pregnant I for her delivery I went to India. As I wanted to bring my kid and wife with me and Kid was not allowed to travel till she complets 3 Months I finally travelled on...

As long as they received your application on time, it should be OK. I've heard of cases where the HO takes a bit longer to process the payment - search previous posts in this forum.

Hello, If I aggregate my total stay period in Tier1 G and switched to Tier2 general it comes out to be 4 yrs 9 months and 9 days. Will I be eligible to apply for ILR (stay in UK for 5 years lawfully)?. Since according to new rule of "cooling off" period of 12 months will apply for Tier2 G...

I got an accident in home country and injured by back. I have full reports and MIR scan in which consultant strongly suggest to do the bed rest for 6-8 weeks. That was the prime reason for my delay. I can get the letter from my GP on these reports as well. In this circumstances will they considered...

Do you know how much they charge on average for ILR?

If the 3 months 4 days were not for business or compelling reasons, then your 5 year counter has been reset and won't be eligible for ILR until 5 years from the date you returned to the UK after the 3 months 4 days out.
Better to renew your Tier 1 and wait.

My Initial Tier-1 visa was approved from 03-July-2008 till 03-July-2011, while I’m in UK Applied for extension on 06-June-2011.(face to face) On the biometric card I have got date of issue: 06-June-2011 and valid till: 06-June-2013 instead of date of issue: 06-june-2011 and valid till: 03-July-2013...

However, my wife is planning to apply to settle in the UK as my depedant this month. Being that I only have 3 months remaining on my current Limit...

I got that we have to declare absentees our own in ILR but how UKBA will cross verify that data with their absentees information as i think they maintain no information for Exitees. I guess you could ask UKBA for clarification on how they verify this data by sending a freedom of information act req...

We made our first application on 08/06/07. ie HSMP for 2 years. We were due for our renewal on 08/06/09 for HSMP Extension. We were refused on 21/07/2010 cos of insufficent maintanence funds. Then we were asked to reapply for the TIER 1 Visa which we applied through a lawyer and we were told by the...

ok fair enough. I do have a letter from the NHS surgeon encouraging treatment overseas.

Are there any report of the case worker being lenient in similar cases?

Thanks for your help!
