Hello guys, I am a Tier 1 (G) migrant got entry clearance in 2011 and entered UK within 3 months. I lived in the UK only a week and then visited back home for 84 days. Since then I'm living in the UK apart from a 4 week holiday last year. My 84 days absence in the beginning of first year wasn't an a...
I am a Tier 1 General Migrant and my ILR is due next year. I was wondering what options would I have if my application for ILR gets a refusal? I want to prepare for anything and want to know up until the very last possible option I may have. How does the system work? Can we appeal? if yes but if app...
That is very good news, congrats. I thought when its self employment they would just keep the documents and tell you to wait and then 6 months wait. But good to know that PEOs deciding some self employment cases as well without asking for more documents. This certainly means your case was well prepa...
Congrats. this is good centre. I went there in 2013 and got extention. Planning to go Solihull in 2016 for ILR. They used to check docs before getting fee. then you will sit in window in front of caseworker and he will go through your application in front of you. If they raise any questions you have...
Safest way out here is what your lawyer has suggested. If you become over-stayer even for 7 days, I think you will have to provide some reasonable evidence for example proof of your flight cancellation due to weather etc and I think as an over-stayer you will also loose the right of appeal. Seniors ...
You are fine mate. Apply within last 28 days of your visa expiry. If you do not get their decision by the day your visa expires, then too, you wont be an over-stayer. Your status will remain the same until the decision comes no matter how long it takes.
with another set of fees. So basically your date of application remained the same but you sent new fee???? This should not be a solution here where application is valid in all aspects for example photos, date of posting, correct fee, correct mode of payment, signatures, all original supporting docu...
I just read above linked post. Your conclusion does not make any sense to me. The immigration consultant should not go with last year's wrong implementations . Actually they should follow the rules and should be confident to fight for you against any wrong implementation. In above linked post, bubin...
Q3 - When does my ILR qualifying period start? For second case ILR clock starts from the day when applicant first entered UK on that qualifying visa. E.g. If someone got Tier 1 visa from out of UK on 1st February 2006 and entered the UK for first time on 20th February 2006, then ILR clock starts fr...
You would probably need an extra extension if you are applying early which could cost you even more than what you are saving now by applying on or before 5th April. Remember now applications not taking several months. Recently someone applied by post and got result in three weeks. Your date of decis...
Applied on 5th April by post, delivered on 8th, old fee, three dependants, three separate cheques.
Just checked online bank account, all cheques have now been presented by UKBA and waiting to clear on 22nd. Thanks God. Now next task is approval of these applications. I hope good.
Read above in detail. Qualifying period is 5years but there are several small periods which they disregard while calculating continuous leave. For example, up to 90 days from entry clearance to first entry in the uk. It is very clearly mentioned that we should apply for ILR within last 28 days (afte...
Quite worrying. New forms were available only from 6th. No new fee structure ever found on old ones.
Fee changes almost every year. People who had similar experience in last few years should come forward and explain how did they deal with it and what were the outcomes.
After I got my approval letter on 05/04/2013 at a PEO, I posted three dependants' applications at around 1330 hrs and included the approval letter along with. I sent it through special delivery and told post office staff that the package carries three applications to Home Office and fee is £561 toda...
For ILR, you will use Form Set (O) and guidance for this form is here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/guidseto04091.pdf PAGE 3 "Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period" which means you can apply on Monday 8 Fe...
Thank you Vinny, you have checked day of the week as well. Interesting links. However the word 'may' always confuses me. I entered UK on 03-June-2011. Can you still see any problem or clearly no problems?
Guidance for Set (o) http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/settlement/guidseto04091.pdf Page 2 5 WHEN TO APPLY You and any dependants applying with you should apply before the end of your/their permitted stay in the UK. There is a qualifying period to complete in most of the...

So you said it will be fine if I don't change the name on my business a/c to my name or should i still do it In fact, even if you will change, your previous statements will show business name as well. But, you don't need to change account name, sole trader account is just like a normal current acco...
I had three these kind of problems in my renewal application so my immigration consultant explained them well in his letter in three paragraphs. These were not problems though but were worth to explain especially for a postal application. Finally I decided to go for PEO and the caseworker refused to...
