so my guess is go for extension on existing fee before any NHS charge is levied and save ourself?

Again smart thinking

I still have a duobt on this new amendment. For example a dependent need 4 years to complete 5 and main applicant need only 3 then will they give same 4 years to both main applicant and dependent or 3 years.

It seem you will get minimum 5 years, but any time if you spend 5 year period you can apply for ILR then

Further, the online forms / guidance are also not yet updated for these rules (still showing 2/3 years extension rules)

and why they are charging immigrants only (they are paying same tax as other) and on top of that their visa fees as well which is already very expensive. They are trying to squeeze the last juice from us.

I doubt that the Scottish government will bring in separate NHS charging at point-of-use. Westminster could try to force the Scottish government, but given the recent referendum result I don't think they would try it. However, because immigration is reserved to Westminster, the NHS health levy will...

Good point, clever thinking, so they apply this for NHS Scotland as well?

Good Stuff

Then I think you can go and get your ILR and then your family can apply for ILR later (before the visa expiry).



Senior members please correct me if I am wrong.

How long is the visa valid for your daughter, is it going to cover your plan period?

Thanks Buddy and wish you good luck for your ILR

Post 20 Oct new changes if implemented will give min 3 years visa for all Tier 1 extensions

Please tell me how many years you got and what was the date of your first Tier 1 visa date? However, new rules in place I would expect every one would get 3-5 years of extensions by 20 Oct 2014. Thanks

So It means that I can get any years between 3 -5, considering the case I apply with my dependents who need 3.5 years to complete five years but being dependents they cant get more then what I would have then I may also ask for and get 3.5 years for every one including me to complete 5 years (though...

Does this mean now the rules for 2 or 3 years extention will not hold and every one will get min 3 and max number of years to get to five years. Can some one advise?

Great news indeed

Hi,

What was the reason for your absence, was that any way employment related (overseas job), please provide the relevant details thanks.

Can someone please guide me on this. Thanks

Thanks mate. Will look forward to further advises from other members as well.

@naveediiqbal and @O_Relly it is getting really confusing. I have read continuous residency guidelines following is link https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/275188/ILRcont_periods.pdf it clearly says you can be outside uk for less than 180days in a year but you...

Hi,

Please advise.
Kind Regards

Hi O_Relly and other senior members / admin, If there is a exemption allowed for 180 days in a year why not I claim for one 180 days for ILR. so my first period would start from 30 Dec 2011 to 4/1/2012 3/1/2012 One year in which I was away less then 180 days (4 Jan to 29 June 2014 = 179 days ) 4/1/2...
