Hi all, I am panic after this announcement. It seems, I need to get another 3K in order to get 2nd HSMP extension next year. In the mean time, I would like to ask whether amount paid into company's pension contribution and private medical insurance contribution by the company can be included as gros...
I am totally upset with the new rules which affects the HSMP extension as well. I am getting 70 points only as per their new point systems. To get another 5 points , i need to raise my salary by another ca. 3K. Where as I am very well settled in present job and also its a permanent one. Since becaus...
I rang them today to clarify this, the second extension will be for 3 years. It won't be for 4 years as this is a concession outside the immigration rules. I think ,among the Home office staffs itself there is no clarity. probably when more and more applicants apply for 2nd extension there will be ...
I strongly believe that the advice you have been given re a 1 year extension is wrong. As far as I am aware they will grant for a further 3 years. You might want to give them a ring or even ring the FLR team to get clarification on this. Yes we all only can believe but there is no law to point out ...
Hi All, I got the reply from Home office that they issue only 1 year of extension. Their reply is as below. Dear xxxxxxxx, thank you for your recent enquiry. When you apply for the second extension you will only be granted 1 year as this will give you enough time (5 years) so you can apply for indef...
Dear All, Due to recent changes in ILR eligibility period from 4 yrs to 5 yrs, some of us need to apply for 2nd HSMP extension to bridge the gap. My question is, when we apply for 2nd extension, we will get only 1 yrs visa or we will be given another 4 yrs of extension (similar to 1st extension nowa...
Hi, HALifax needs min of 2.5 yrs left on the visa. Mine was 2 yrs and 5 months left and they refused to offer. Nationwide Bs said to me that they can only lend to PR ( even though tvt got it from them) Finally i approached HSBC and they agreed and i really feel their service is excellent. Regards, B...
Hi, Recently i have found a house to buy. My HSMP visa is for another 2yrs 3 months. As i don't have PR in this country many mortgage lenders expect to put atleast 20-25 % of depost. Some are ready to lend but interest rate is over 6%. I am having deposit of only 15% and looking for good deal. Did a...
can they refuse the application simply because they cant show the first few months? If so then i think ill need to start saving all my stuff :? Do you have to send them 2 years worth of bank statements /letters/bills etc?:O that cant be right? Yes they need it for 2 yrs atleast. But in his case we ...

Also Baskey, the words you use .... "child benefit coming under her name" ... could it be that the husband is the claimant and the money is merely mandated to the wife? Time to pull out the documentation from the Child Benefit office to make sure. If the wife really is the Child Benefit c...
One of my friend's wife is getting child benefits where as she is under spouse visa for 2 years. Are you sure she is the claimant? Or could be her husband is the Child Benefit claimant and has mandated the money to her? Or given you use the term "child benefit s " are you referring to Chi...

Hi, One of my friend's wife is getting child benefits where as she is under spouse visa for 2 years. She is going to app...
