Hi, I have been in UK under Tier1 General visa. Now I am planning to apply for ILR. As I am applying for ILR under Tier1 General visa, I will need to prove my eligibility points. I am confused on the points given to 'Qualifications Assessment'. The application says "You can only claim points f...

when did you receive ur BRP?

all answers are in my initial response. Regarding Birth Certificate as I havent seen it I dont think I am best placed to comment.

You could keep us posted with the BRP status. Please drop in a line when you receive your card.

it should be fine. Just the she wont be eligible for BC soon as she will have to satisfy 3 yrs criteria for being in the UK as she is a partner of a BC.

she cant be away for more than 270 days at a stretch in last 3 years and not more than 90 days away in the last 90 days.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have a further question. My absence of more than 90 days was when I was under the HSMP. I was not working during the 93 days, because I was waiting for my job in the UK to start. Do you have an idea of whether I need to be employed during the time I was away? I didn't...

I do not feel any harm in signing it. Where is the clause for refunding the fees if UKBA does not provide efficient services? What guideline is set for UKBA in case of delays or unfair judgement? Anyway, I still feel that it is relevant and do not forget that it is because of such petitions that UK...

I agree with mulderpf

Awesome!

Thanks db3 I clearly mis read tier 2 as tier1

Hi All I've enough points to claim ILR using my salary for 12 months, however there are two figures on my payslip one says 'Gross' and other says 'taxable Pay', The diffrence in two is the leisure card I bought through a benefit scheme from my company. 'Gross' salary is showing the amount after ded...

2) The earliest would be 28 days before the 5th anniversary from your EC date (26/05/08).

Opps you did beat me to this one.

1. How early will I be able to take the Life in UK Test? Will I be able to take it in the next two weeks and apply for my ILR couple of months later on? You can apply anytime for life in uk test. 2. When should I apply for my ILR? That is how early will I be apply for my ILR. 28 days before 26/05/0...

Many thanks cs95tdg I fully understand your point but the issue is Bank statement come in a particular format while all page showing total number of pages (like page 1 of 16, etc etc) which means if I remove any pages out of total it might create unnecessary doubt in case worker's mind. (though I h...

No because the question doesn't ask you for uk ties and you have technically might not have completed 5 years yet.

I think stating the ties in the home country is only thing that question is asking for.

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...

I will send this email now and hope that I get a prompt response. I called UKBA and they said they cant check it. They mentinoed if its a online application then I will get the printout form the solicitor byut if its the Solicitors slot (like the slots they have reserved for them) then I will have ...

I think he means he didn't submit any employer letter.

but i was not away continuously 180 days, still i am not eligible for ILR? It is a total of 180 days in a year there is no continuous absence at a stretch criteria anymore. Adjust the date of application if you have time and see if you can split the absence over 2 years. You just need to be below 1...

also the fees are definitely going up on 6th april which means that new versions of the form will be out on the morning of 6th April. the new forms will have the increased fee. I dont think there is any talk of transitional arrangements for people to use the old forms or pay the old fee after 6th ap...
