To be fair it does not sound dodgey to me at all. It is perfectly acceptable to go and attend pressing family issues even if there are only a few weeks remaining in your visa. Additionaly, you have every reason to come back and finish your remaining period of work contract. So its a simple case of g...
That's right :). However, I think that this forum should try to give the CORRECT answer using the simplest words/methods possible. In this respect my first reply in this thread remains completely valid. In addition, if personal negative remarks can be avioded a better discussion can be forthcoming. ...
Gross for Feb + March = 6000, Personal allow = 4750, Taxable = 1250 Monthly : for Feb Gross = 3000 PA = (4750/2) = 2375 Taxable = 625 March as above. Therefore total taxable = 625+625 = 1250 Similarly for Jan+Feb+March : Gross = 3 x 3000 = 9000, substract PA of 4750, therefore, taxable = 9000-4750 =...
It would definitely help if you read my post in full and carefully. The case I have mentioned is applicable if the person had NO INCOME for the previous 10 months of the tax year. In these circumsatances, your ENTIRE personal allowance is applied to your gross earnings in Feb and March. And if it is...
Personal allowance/12 is applied when person starts work at the beginning of the tax year (April) or if the person has a temporary tax code. In case of temporary tax code it might not be applied at all-depends on the employer. For those joining midway during the tax year (and have had no income till...
Thats right. The gross salary (April-April) minus 4750 will be subject to IT. If you make a private pension contribution then that may also be applicabe for deduction from your gross salary before personal allowance is applied. And then if your gross is still below 4750 remember you can also claim t...
Issues are being confused here. We are not talking about scams or avoidances. It is a question of how the law is applied. try-one....you will get insurance cover for your car but there might be a higher premium since the foreign licence is being used. And, if the licence is not valid for using a pri...
What if one agrees to make UK their main home and begin to live in the UK as in case of HSMP visa holders, does that not make them residents at least for the period they are here? On another note, as a lawyer what would you say it costs (lawyer fees and other associated fees/charges) a person on HSM...
Where can the authoritative regulation in print be obtained? This could help thousands of people who hold a valid drivers licence from their home countries but pay out hundreds of pounds to get the UK licence in the belief that DVLA regulations are valid. If what you say holds up in the court of law...
The regulations say that you can drive with a foreign licence for a period of 12 months since your last arrival. In theory therefore, whenever you go abroad and revisit the UK the clock is set to zero. The DVLA website says:Ordinary licence holders Provided your full licence remains valid, you can ...
Dear Friends However the process for getting an NI no. is very similar to third world country government bureaucracies, not what one would have imagined in UK. Many of these third world countries were British governed and have modelled their system on the same bureaucratic lines. Hence no surprises...
You could try going down to the Social Services office in your area and see if you can make an appointment. Most probably you will be asked to call the number ':(' If you do not have your permanent NI number, then you will most probably be paying a higher amount of income tax and NI contribution. Th...
If it is a permanent position then the employer will pay a comission to the agent which will be percentage of your anual salary. You don't have to worry about it. If its a temporary position on per hour basis, they will charge the employer £X and will pay you £X- £Y. £Y represents their cut and they...
Hi Everybody Can anybody have an idea of how much money one should carry to UK for one year on the basis of HSMP arrival with a family. A simple Goggle search with words like "living expenses average uk" will give you a number of results. While most of them deal with expenses a student mi...
b. I can also supply pay-slips for the past 12 months period in addition to the tax return and supporting letter If your salary slip shows the income that you can use to qualify, just send in that as evidence together with letter from employer detailing salary. These two documents should be suffici...
What are the wordings on the sticker in passport when the FLR(IED) has been approved on the basis of HSMP for in-country applicants? Does it say Work Permit? I am sure "No recourse to public funds" will be there. Anything else? Also, if one changes jobs when one is on HSM status will one h...
i have a press article(for a national conference), 1 be one of authores for 3 intell property rights, 2 so , as you said, if my employer give a letter stating i am a great worker and bring much much much money for my company............ 3 i can get the achievement points? You do have a good chance ...
It is either/or - it does not make any difference. However, qualification can be proved by a single certificate and it could be tricky to prove experience if everything is not in black and white. Why complicate matters unnecessarily':?:'
as a evidence to show achievement i don't know what meaning of "academic reference" and "industry reference". somebody explain it for me please :oops: [/b] Academic reference - A reference letter from your Professor/Instructor/Teacher praising you as wonderful and hardworking st...
Congrats...now comes the actual test. Soon you'll appreciate how small things like getting a bank account, a debit card etc. bring joy and brighten up your day ':lol:'

I had claimed points for: Ph.D. - 30 Ph.D. + specialist exp - 35 Significant achievements - 15 Spouse - 10 Total = 90 Since I had crossed the reqd points I did not go to the trouble to get points for salary since they w...
Thanks to this forum for the productive discussions, tips and suggestions. Here is my time-line In-country application received by HO: April 13 Ref no: 0165xx Date on approval letter: Sept 06 Documents+letter received: Sept 08 Now the questions. I am in the UK on a work permit and my wife came along...
You have to get your EC within 3 months of HSMP approval and then you have a further 3 month to enter UK, thus a total of 6 months. If you cancel this appointment, when is the latest you have to go for EC? Remember it should be within 3 months of HSMP approval. So if you can push this date by 2 mont...
Dayalsingh, How do you know that the home office has a positive response to your app? When was the app received by the HO? If they have seen your app, they would have made a decision. When you prove that you have a job offer, they will pull your app out of the queue and process it (if it has been wi...
