For UKBA, it is always simple - no confusion since it is always at a personal level. Payslip + Dividend vouchers showing cashflow into a personal account of the applicant. Applicant to carry/produce personal bank statements to support/demostrate the same. So Dividend is assumed to be a tax paid inco...

This comes under general "accounting practice". For e.g committed sales figure and the actual income received may differ for a FY, and of course HMRC gives you the flexibility to "adjust" figures based on the current tax year and the projected revenue shown in the books for the n...

Assuming you (as a benefit claimant) has already an ILR or UK passport living here and it is only your husband who is planning to apply when he becomes eligible for ILR in January. Your husbands income doesn't matter for SET(M). They may make additional queries if he had worked before on a fulltime ...

This is one area that is not very clearly documented and Case Workers generally tend to make mistake unless you communicate this clearly and properly. If you ask your passport back for travel reasons then your application is automatically withdrawn, even if you do not travel or change your mind. You...

A single independent accomodation with shared Spam & bathroom close to zone 4 will cost you £400-500pm + add travel and other food/shopping/etc You can still live a 'decent' life (that is my view) if you are single with that income of £1100 per month after tax, but I will be really surprised if ...

Based on what I read, this is really unfortunate. CWs are generally trained to read income documents. Pay slip is just one form of them. It does not really matter whether the accountant does a PAYE/NIC quarterly and issues payslips on a monthly or quarterly basis. As long as you can demonstrate the ...

Yes, you are right. This information is hiding somewhere (may be they do not want many people to apply by post) a)address is : OCI Cell - High Commission of India India House Aldwych London WC2B 4NA b) Yes, that is true. Send your old passport in original, and they will put the cancel stamp cut the ...

Hi All, I was working as a contractor and got a new job as a permanent. I didn't accept the extension and went to home for holidays so that I can join on time to my new employer. I came on the said date and was told that I can't join as the verification checks aren't complete because they had forgo...

'Ownership' by all its legal terms is quite complex to define - especially in this case. Its perfectly legal for anyone to register, establish, own and run business in the UK without even entering UK and remaining completely outside immigration status. Also, there is nothing written about UK work pe...

Depends on what exactly you mean by WP holder "owning a business". Technically speaking, a WP holder may register, or 'own' a business - but not 'work' under the immigration rules . Or in other words, as far as I understand, there is nothing written within the jurisdictions of companieshou...

A passport is relatively a difficult document to replace, when compared to ID cards. Also, you are not expected to carry passport in your wallet when you are out and about, but soon be expected to carry ID cards as per the draft policies by the govt. Re: biometric info(finger prints, retina scan) , ...

I have done a lot of mainframes (IBM E series to S360/390) as a techy in those good old starting days of my career. In UK there are quite a few businesses (Mainly top FTSE 100 companies) still operating mainframes as their legacy systems for continuing operational and business support whilst undergo...

May be its school holidays and thats why admins taking a long time to axe these threads ?

Rather than certification, applying under a graduate recruitment program would probably be your best bet, and most of the banks (especially investment banks ) run their graduate recruitments within selected universities during spring. Some directly solicit applications from fresh graduates via their...

I wonder why cant these fraudsters born with twit heads think bit logically and derive a fair amount ?

Its like every email lottery you win is over 300 millions ! Nothing in the region of a modest 500K or 1 million so that I can dream of buying a Ferrari

May be I do not understand the modern rules coming into play, still worth finding out rather being stupid - why do you need to get HSMP when you are already a dependent and free to work without any visa restrictions ? one more thing.. i am here with my husband on a dependent visa. I am thinking to a...

As already mentioned, there is no easy way of breaking a contract. Best thing to do is agree mutually, put the same in writing and say goodbye and get out as early as possible without getting into any legal hassles. However, there is an option to work a case out, if your offered job profile does not...

I don’t know who told you about this 'passport check desks', I know there are some desks between hand baggage security scanner and the shoe scanner area in terminal 3 and but I did not see anyone deployed there !. As I said earlier, they are most likely to be random as they simply do not have the ...

I think diplomatic visas does not quality for ILR. But normal embassy workers (non-diplomatic) do qualify basedon their work permit.

Are you sure? I thought time spent for diplomatic reasons was ineligible.

I find the same unwanted policing attitude from people those who stand near the boarding gate and checking passports- they carry a lot of head weight in letting you through Once it happened in Doha airport, the guy (he looked like an Indian or Pakistani) at the boarding gate asking: how did you get ...

I dont know whether you are slightly confused here. From your post two aspects as far I see here: a) woking in the country where Israel embassy is situated (EU country ) b) qualifying for a Isreali diplomatic passport Working for an embassy is treated differently and based on the diplomatic relation...

The more helpful way being is to post an answer to a question rather than suggesting hot links as answer! The reason being, OP could be behind a firewall/content filtering policies and those linked websites may not be accesible at the same time as immigration boards. It may defeat the whole purpose ...

With the current infrastructure in place, I dont think it is possible to check for overstayers by visual inspection of all foriegn passport holders at the airport. BIA deploys random squads, and it is their duty to check passports at random, not everyones ..indian_uk may have encountered one of them...

From what I understand - BIA is still not stringent on measures put in place for for checking statuses of people leaving UK at the airport. For those who prefer to escape after an overstay still can do that (unless their passport is blacklisted) without getting noticed in the BIA radar. Immediate pr...

I think its the same flat fee for all 1 to 10 year visit visas. And the fee for 6 months, as you said, is a lot less - only about one third!. Also bear in mind that even if you get issued with a 10 year long visa, the maximum duration of continuous stay permitted for all visas is 6 months. (This cou...
