I personally don't see why it should be a problem if you apply in person, if you read the guidance relating to ILR for persons who have been on HSMP, you will see that it says you should provide proof of your economic activity for the duration of your time on HSMP. This in no way suggests that you h...
If your dates are correct you should be eligible for ILR in October 2009, since your time as a student will not count for the five year ILR, remember you will have to pass the life in the UK test first. Your absences abroad should not exceed 90 days at any single time, total absences during the five...
Are the payslips on plain a4 paper or are they the traditional payslips (eg. those secure ones, where you tear of the edges of the envelope to reveal the payslip printed on the inside)? AFAIK it is only payslips on a4 paper that looks like anyone could just type one up, that needs to be stamped and ...
Would a payment that she receive for a market research of a certain product, that to be conducted for an investor, be taken into consideration ? And how she might demonstrate that? sdean Has she paid tax on this amount?, did she invoice the company for this amount, did they pay her by cheque or dir...
While I don't know if there is a minimum period for entry, you should remember that in order to extend you visa in two years time you will need to show 12 consecutive months of earnings (of a certain amount) out of the 15 months before your visa expires. If you leave your first entry too late you ma...
Will she earn £1500 from the home based job by the time she is ready to apply for extension? Is she able to do paid overtime to make up the £1500 to earn her 5 more points for previous earnings. If her employer is sympathetic and wants to help, a pay rise or bonus would help. Otherwise she may hav...
Thanks for all you comments, I agree it's probably not going to work, her father was a beneficiary of his father's will, I need to check with her whether he was specifically named in the will as his child or just benefited as "all my children". I think that that would be strong evidence of...
I know that DNA is probably the most reliable way, but I doubt exhuming the bodies are an option, I was wondering if other records, which list the father's name such as details from a passport application which normally asks for father's name etc. are accepted as proof of ancestry
A commonwealth citizen believes her grandparent was born in the UK, and wishes to claim uk ancestry. The problem however is that 1. Both her father and grandfather are deceased 2. Both herself and her father were illegitimate, so their fathers names are not listed on their birth certificates as is t...
Yes you will have to include your son on the EC application and you will need to submit a photo, its been a long time since I applied for EC and it seems the rules have changed since, so I'll leave the other questions to be answered by people with more recent experience
Thanks SYH, I did do quite a bit of research on it and found that as regards to Naturalisation, it could possibly lead to a refusal, I am glad I came across this as I was of the impression and indeed a chartered accountant told me that claiming to be non-domiciled for tax purposes had no impact what...
[quote="SYH"][quote="flanker"] there has been mention in the guidance of people declaring themselves as non domiciled for a tax benefits. /quote] Hi SYH, which guidance mentions people who declare themselves non-domiciled for tax purposes? I checked the SET(o) guidance and I coul...
I have personal knowledge of such a case, HO policy team confirmed in writing that they would use the woman's earnings before she proceeded on Statutory Maternity leave, provided her earnings once she returned to work did not go down ( because of reduced hours etc.) If this happened then they said t...
Generally, if your initial visa was for one year, you are given a 4 year extension. If your initial visa was for 2 years the extension is granted for 3 years. Of course the course worker does have the power to give the extension for less than the this as I have heard of persons who have been given o...
A person with a Msc. is not necessarily unskilled just because he works at Tescos or as a cab driver. The new rules have actually made it near impossible for unskilled and skilled persons alike without at least a first degree to qualify even if you are earning 100k per year. It is unfair for them to...
You can check the ind.gov.uk site for further guidance about "in-country switching" to be sure, there is a list of visa categories that are not allowed to switch in country, I know for a fact that HSMP dependents can't so I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true for WP dependents. You m...
Visit your local job centre or call the national insurance helpline (do a google for the number). You normally have to make an appointment and he will need proof that he is working or looking for work, such as rejection letters or a contract of employment. He can start working without the NI number,...
My experience in a similar situation was that the ECO in my home country claimed my Mom's intention to come to the UK was suspected as being for childcare reasons and therefore trying to "circumvent the immigration laws" whatever that means. However on appeal, the judge specifically noted ...
What's your nationality?
What documents did you submit?
and just out of curiosity, was she in the uk for at least 14 years? if so why didn't she try to 14yr long residence route?
They seem to normally accept an early application if you have a good reason for doing so. Write a covering letter and attach a letter from your employer stating the requirement for you to travel over the particular time period, and you should be fine.
