1) Am I still eligble to apply when I can produce the document for my compelling (sister 's Medical certificate) for 14 days I am sure you can state the reason as compelling but you will need really strong evidence for compelling reasons. 2) Do the Solihull considers such cases and do they have sen...

My visa validity is until July 2014.

Just wanted to give a try. what is your suggestion.

If you still wanna try - try solihull PEO. They check ur application before you make a payment

Thanks db83, I have explored all the possibilities and find tha applying on 12 april 2013 would be perfect match as i got salary for March 2010 and April 2010 paid in UK. I am providing my absence list below can you please guide me am i right or wrong? Can I go for ILR? 26-Mar-09 - 23-May-09 = 58 d...

Hi All, Just an update to my post. Got our BRP cards one hour back. I contacted DX in the morning and they mentioned that the courier is on the way. So just made sure that my wife stayed back at home to receive it. So got approval on 1st march and BRP cards on 6th March 2013. Regards, Anoop. Great ...

All, Thanks all for your responses to all my queries, though some of it sounded really silly :) My husband, me and my son have been approved ILR on 04/03/2013 at the Sheffield PEO. Appointment at 9am, arrived PEO at 08:45am as we realised that we didn't book the appointment confirmation at the elev...

Thanks db83,Gagan1986 and uksettlement. I have been paid salary in uk for 2 months in mar 2009 and April 2009 where I was working for same company in India. where I can provide my UK bank statement and salary slips. I can not get letter from that company because I no more work in that company. If I...

Thanks DB, I will definitely take chill pill. :) One last question, if i get PR, what form should i be using for my wife, is it set(M). Is there any difference between SET O and SET M. Just to make sure i dont land in any surprises while applying for my wife. May i also ask the reason why you appli...

Hi DB Congrats! I have few questions. My case is similar where i was on long absence during my WP. 1. As you mentioned that the CW was inputting NI number to check whether any contributions are made, do you think she was checking only for the months which you were absent to see whether you are paid...

Auto test-Like uksettlement has advised if you still have time on your visa, try to calculate a day when your absences don't cross over 180 in a year. That's your safest bet

And paternity leave is not considered to be compassionate or compelling and no discretion will be applied

Anandh79- read this post. He was on WP and had an absence of 145 odd days.

All I wrote was parents are in India.

If I keep writing my relatives and friends names...it will never end.

It's more of a question to gauge the relationship you have in your domicile country.

Uksettlement - Well, after all you were right . He was indeed on tier 1

I think he means he didn't submit any employer letter. For a WP,ILR applicant No Employer's Letter asked? I thought this was one of the CORE document, for CW,before making the decision. No I think the CW are relaxing it if your current visa is Tier 1. The discretion is still being used as the rules...

Hi, I am planning to apply on 11 April 2013. The below are the absence list. I am also not sure whether I should calculate the break period from the day I am applying or from the visa granted date. I mean my initial visa was granted in Nov 2007 and I should consider from Nov 2007- Nov 2013, to calc...

Hi Please could you tell me - when we make the absences per year table, should we split the long absence into two years or should we maintain the start and end dates of the absence. eg: if the absence is from Jan to June, in the table should we say from Jan to Mar - x days and Mar to June 'y' numbe...

could you please let me know

1. what VISA you had during the long absence?
2. Did you provide any employer letter for absence?

I was on Tier 1. No letter provided
The CW dint even question the absence.

Hello Just paid an exorbitant amount for a 30 minute consultation with an immigration advisor.

The Advisor was adament that it is 180 days over a 5 year period, with excepti...

1. No if your financial year has not ended...you dont need to have a P&L for just three months period. 2. Make sure you have your business bank statements that show that invoices are being paid into your account 3. Invoices are not mandatory - you dont need them if you have a business bank accou...
