I am also due on mid-2016.
this is very hypothetical question, and no one can predict anything, including home Office
Also things may change post 2015 Elections.

which country you have opportunity to migrate to?

scary

Hi, Yes I am assuming that because the UKBA policy around 2nd extension is not clear so ultimately it may be up to CW's discretion. I hope I am wrong! Cheers! Most probabbly you will be wrong :) as i mentioned in other thread, as per policy its says whoever got previous or last grant after 06 Apr 2...

Points calculator gives me the points based on old table according to my first application it does not take into account my first extension date at all only date of first application of tier 1 which is good for me. Exactly because of the same reason I had started to think that I would be given 2 ye...

you should get 3yrs extension Thanks for your response. Can you also tell if I am calculating my points for my extension application to be made in october 2013, under the correct rules ? my first application was on 2-3-2009 and first extension was applied on 7-11-2011 even i am confused :? please d...

from Policy:
We will always use the closing balance
date from the account that most favours the
applicant.
so what i can understand, it should be OK, still check with your bank if they give you a letter. which is one of alternative document.

you should get 3yrs extension

@kannit
you are assuming that you will get 2 yrs extension for 2nd time extension?
but you should get 3 yrs extension till 11-Oct-2016

The question OP had wasn't whether or not overseas earnings can be included in extension application but whether the "uplift ratio" can be used (as was used when applying under this route for the very first time from outside the UK). Sorry, my mistake. uplift ratio is NOT applicable in ca...

haven't checked policy lately, but last year i went for tier-1(General) Extension with part earning from India. As per guidlines, you need to convert Overseas earning through OANDA into GBP to claim earning. following is from old extract, #107 of Tier-1 policy guideline which is: 107. An applicant s...

Hi @Amber first of all i must appreciate your excellent knowledge/experience and bigheartedness for helping here. though i am still 3 yrs away to be eligible for ILR, I got real concern with recent change to ILR continuous period . I am on Tier-1(General) After Dec-2012 any paid leaves need employer...

Im eligible SET(LR) to apply from Sep 2013,If I had to apply in OCT , Whats is the change of English requirement(above statement)? Oct 2013: KOLL requirement - read the whole document, not just first page. This has been discussed to death on this forum, please search existing posts before posting q...

thanks all for replying.
Reason i asked is, one of my friend who has same timeline like me has passed LIK recently, and did so as one of his friend told him to do before test gets tougher.

just a casual question
it's a long 3 yrs road ahead for me before i complete my ILR continuous period,
so should i bother about LIK test now, or can wait for sometime before attempting it?

@Ram

Can we take note of proposal mentioned in following post as well in our planned legal battle?

The consultation principle seems flawed. It doesn't consider the tax + NI contributions of the migrants at all. Especially for Tier 1 General Highly skilled category, most the migrants would be paying more tax + NI than UK average. Also the fact the visa extension charges (for Tier 1) are already v...

Hi, I hold tier1 general visa and currently working in Scotland. Just wanted your views on this. Suppose say after 2014 or 2015 Scotland separates from England, do tier1 immigrants in scotland have to move to england ? I know both governments agree upon some rule with regard to immigrants, but just...

@abhisheks9 I switched from Tier 1 to Tier 2 as I was working for nearly 11 months from offshore i did not have sufficient earnings to gain the required points for Tier 1 extension but luckily my company sponsored me with Tier 2 General as I was required by for the project. Having said that I would...

I was initially I came on on work permit starting Mar 2008 then I converted it to Tier 1 (June 2008 - June 2011) for 3 years then again back on Tier 2 general (Jul 2011 - June 2013) All these years worked for same company and same client. First of all Congratulations :D I am very curious about abov...

Don't worry, you should get it. I also got my extension last year with part of earning from India, which was essential for me to claim points. I only provided stamped monthly payslips and indian bank statements. Also, i didn't notice longer processing time compared to other applicants at that point ...

savings account are perfectly fine.
I used Lloyds TSB easy saver account for maintenance last year.

this arrangement should not be a problem, because at time of Tier-1 extension you can show 'overseas' earning for claiming previous earning points. Caveat: same day appointment wont be considered. I applied for Tier-1 extension with part earning from India. Best would be to, try be employee of UK of...

Hi, I'm applying for Tier-1(General) extension. I've PEO appointment this Friday. I've a questions- Is it necessary to highlight the monthly salary credits on the bank statement? My worry is would UKBA reject it as I changed the format of original Bank Statement. The only reason to highlight monthl...
