Hi Raghu, So, did you tick the box against this question? I am in exactly same position as you were: Student + PSW + Tier 2 gen. My appointment is day after tomorrow, and still confused due to different arguments in this forum. I have ticked this box and have included photocopies of previous visa. T...

Dear experts, I am going to apply ILR on 16th March using premium same day appointment. My company provided me loan of £2887 (BACS payment to my A/C) to pay the ILR fees and will deduct £200 each month from Feb 2018 to Jan 2019 (total £2400). Remaining £447 is their generous contribution to the fees...

Just a gentle reminder.
Would appreciate any help please.
If this has any impact on application, I may delay it by 6 months or so.

Dear CR001 & other respected members, Since the goal post has recently changed on how we calculate the continuous absences, I wondered if you could help me reassess my situation. Below is the list of my absences from UK with their reasons, in reverse chronological order. I have not included the ...

Hi Vinny, Thanks for enlightening us. Seems like we should keep checking this forum everyday to keep abreast with the latest HO development. My question though is, if an employer has sent me for short secondments/ business visits outside UK to fulfil the purpose of my employment, will they count tow...

You need to submit the absence letter (HR can do one to confirm absences) and a letter confirming that '.....Mr/Mrs/Miss xyz will be required in the role/job for the forseeable future....'. Both or one letter for both, is mandatory for Tier 2 General. Okay. Well, thanks CR001 for giving your valuab...

Why do you think you are not possibly eligible? My post clearly states the absence rule. You must submit an absence letter from your employer. Thanks again for the reply. Why would I need "absence letter" from employer if my absence from UK is under 180 days each year? (I would need to gi...

Assuming the question is for you on Tier 2 general and not your dependent, it is 180 days PER 12 month cycle. A 12 month cycle is counted backwards from the date of ILR application. Thanks a lot. I updated my question with further information, which was incompletely posted due to my thick fingers! ...

Yes, that's correct - currently on TIER 2 General

Apologies for not including that in my question.

Dear experts, I have got confused over the absences rule in ILR. I thought I understood it but reading through threads puzzled me. Current leave - Tier 2 General. Is the 180 days limit based on 180 days per year (so basically 5 x 180 = 900 days in total), or, 180 years total in 5 years? I would have...

Thanks for the reply @iWorker. Things are clearer now. Regarding my wife's visa - once u get ilr, your wife will need to apply for extension of pbs dependent. she will get 3 years extension. she can apply ilr when she has been in uk for 5 years. So, I take that she would have to apply for Tier 2 dep...

Dear members, Thanks for taking out time and reading my question. I apologise if this/similar question has been answered before and in that case please post the link of relevant thread(s). Firstly let me present the facts I will be eligible to apply ILR in February 2018 based on completing 5 years o...

Dear friends, I am currently in UK on Tier 2 General visa for last 2 years. Now, my wife needs to apply for the Dependent visa in the same category. But due to the ever changing rules, and even websites, I have got really confused about the process. Please help. My questions are: 1. What is the proc...

http://nl.vfsglobal.co.uk/allaboutyourvisas.html Thank you Sheraz. I did my home work. The schengen visa allows for a maximum of 90 days of stay, with possibly longer than 90 days validity. This visa will not be good enough in my situation. My employer would like me to stay for at least one year, u...

Hello Folks, Need your informed advice on appropriate Netherlands visas. Situation: My employer is starting a new project and investing in our Netherlands division of group of companies, of which I am Project Manager. For this purpose I require a long term Netherlands visa to travel and work in the ...

Hi Manci,

Thanks for the reply. Has anyone requested for the urgent treatment before and that request was accepted in due time?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I can not find a definite word on the interm status of my stay in UK if the employer's license application is delayed due to processing time of home office. Am I going to get any tentative license number or a letter from employer supporting my application? Would appre...
