Hi, I am Indian on a tier1 visa which is valid upto April2015. My plan is to extend or apply for PR. Today I noticed in my pay slips there has been deductions since May2014 for Pension-AE. I suspect it is due to the auto pension enrolment scheme. I am about to go back to the employer and request to ...

Any suggestions please after reading above from Home Office ?

Anas, I am only able to give you the policy, which I have provided in the previous two emails. If you want, you can include a copy of this email trail with your application when it is submitted.

Hi,

I have got twins 1.8yrs old... i have heard that there are 15hours free nurseries for 2+yrs old... does it comes in public funds? can i send my children there?

Thanks,
Anas

Hi, I am living in a shared house where Landlord pays council tax for the whole property. can this cause any issues when I apply for ILR? do we have to have Council tax? if yes then i will have to change my accommodation.

What will I be left with if they process application quickly and reject it?

Could I file a new fresh application?

Thanks Apam. you are indeed correct that I am not a risk taker but not afraid to do so if it worth to take risk. The purpose of above discussion is to evaluate what options I have got and what is the best way out. Considering Option2b also has Risk and I may left with Appeal but not a fresh reapply ...

Yes, indeed this forum is very helpful and I will certainly update on what happens with my case to help others.

I have one last doubt still: That is choosing Option2b and being unsuccessful, what will I left with?

I am excluding my UK born kids for now to bring down the cost, although their T1 dep visa will expire but they can still live in UK. I will apply for their citizenship once my ILR is sorted. Option1: T1 extension Apply for T1 extension for myself and wife by post just before last few days of expiry ...

Thanks for sharing. He got EC on 16/02/2009 and arrived UK on 21/06/2009... which means 125days later and still Approved. Mine is only 90 or 91 days. His time lines: Tier 1 (General) EC granted = 16-Feb-2009 Entered UK= 21-Jun-2009 Tier 1 Extension received = 13-Apr-2012 (previous leave expired on 1...

hi Amber... i have been taking advises and appears the from 23March10 to 22June10 is 92 days because day of visa stamp should be excluded. please can you explain me a bit more on how to vary if count from the day of entry. i have a doubt here because we can only apply ILR 28days before completing 5y...

I have spoken to a solicitor and he says I should be fine applying for ILR until I have a job, paying taxes and being good. 1 or 2 days are not a big deal. Dates: First T1 visa for 3years- 23/03/2010 to 23/03/2013 Extension T1 visa for 2years - 07/04/2013 to 07/04/2015 Date of arrival in UK : 22/06/...

Will I be able to apply for their BC once I get ILR 2 months later?

ok I understand now. I am not eligible for this period. So the best I can do is apply for another extension for me and wife. Skip children for extension. My Children have T1 dependent visa and will expire with mine, ie 07 April15. Will UKBA not say that your kids had visa before and now they are sta...

Postby Amber_ » Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:25 am You do not count the day of departure and arrival, thus would it not be 89 days thus within 90 day concession and therefore, from 28 days...

Thanks Apam, not sure if i can apply for extension or not. Reason is i will need extension in April2015 and it is possible that UKBA will close extensions somewhere in 2014. Secondly it is going to be too expensive, we are family of four and the new fee is about 1600 per person for extension. 1600x4...

So you mean it has exceeded for me and I cannot include this period ?

I would like to thank Gurus, Moderators and Members who have made this forum as a very useful source of information. I have been referring this forum since I entered UK in 2010. My question to seniors is regarding calculating time for ILR. I got my T1 Gen visa stamp when i was in India, dated 23Marc...

Hi Rammi, I saw your comment that you arrived to UK on 91st day after T1 stamp and going for ILR. I am in the same boat buddy, I have called UKBA but they said NO i cant. However I don't believe the agents as you get different responses with different agents. Please can you let me know what has happ...

Hi Amber, Appreciate your time and help, it is good to have suggestion from a Guru. My T1 stamp is 23/03/2010 and my date of departure/arrival is 22/06/2010. Which sounds like 3months but because March & May are 31 days the number of days are more than 90. It is the 91st day I departed or arrive...

Hi, Please can I have suggestions?

Thanks buddy but i don't understand what you mean by "Your Qualifying Period is counted from the start of your visa till the day they make their decision.".

Did you mean my qualifying period starts from 23/03/2010 when i got first T1 stamp? even after entering on 91st day in the UK?

Hello Friends, I am an Indian, living in UK on T1 visa and not sure whether to apply or ILR or an extension, please can you advice? I certainly don't want to waste money on another extension but I am falling short of 2+ month. On the date of expiry of my current visa I will be completing approx 4yrs...

Hi Experts, I am Indian on T1 general visa with wife and kids as my dependents. I have already completed nearly 4years in UK and renewed visa once in 2013. I have been paying National insurance since beginning. Our visas have 'no public funds' on them. Do I still have to pay NI? even if I don't get ...
