Dear All, Hope we all are keeping well there. I am eligible for ILR on the basis of having spent 5 yrs in UK on T1 (G). I will be applying for ILR with 2 dependants (Wife and child). Question; However, my child's passport is getting expired in the beginning of Mar'13. I am trying to get PEO appointm...

Thanks for your prompt response, techie_09.

Senior members, please contribute and help.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Lucapooka. This was one of the 3 major queries I had, i.e; (1)- Sick pay counting towards Previous Earnings (which has been answered by cs95tdg). (2)- Implications of being sick on ILR application (which you have addressed, thanks for that). However, few words of advice are sou...

Dear All, Hope we all are keeping well there. I am ILR (G) and have been here for 5 years. I have got 2 dependants applying with me Actually, as mentioned earlier, I have been off sick therefore last 3 months payslips reflect mere £340 (£85/week) as I get 4 weekly salary. Obviously, the caseworker w...

Hello All,

Please contribute.

Thanks in advance.

Sure. I will do as advised going forward.

Thanks cs95tdg and sorry for inconvenience.

I appreciate your help so much cs95tdg. The reason I mentioned (i) (b)- Net Earnings is because I was thinking that even in the months when I am sick, my 'Normal Gross Pay' would count towards my previous earnings. However, you have just clarified, that is not the case. If you were sick you can't co...

Thanks for prompt response @wpilr_nov12. Sorry, as the nature of my query is a bit confusing, I have given an example so that I can get clarification further. Perhaps, I didn't explain well in my query first time, therefore started fresh so that it is less confusing. Can you help please? Thanks in a...

Hello Friends, Thanks for your time and help in advance. I am eligible for ILR on the basis of T1 (G). The guidance says UKBA considers 'Gross Earnings' towards previous earnings (consecutive last 12months out of 15months). Question During past 3 months I have been off sick, won't my Gross Earnings ...

Lucapooka, please help? Again for example; earnings in the last 12 months say £35K; (i)- Jan - Sept = £2,917 X 9months = £26,250 (ii)- Oct - Dec (Sick)= £2917 X 3months = £8,750** (see ii below) ____________________________________________ Total Gross Earnings £35,000 p.a ___________________________...

Lucapooka, actually,my concern is that I wouldn't score enough points if I exclude these last 3 months. Since, I have been off sick in these last 3 months, can I claim points for the 'Gross Earnings'? As Guidance notes says, you can claim points on basis of Gross and not Net Earnings. Say Sick perio...

Thanks for your response Lucapooka. Is it just income meaning under employment Or income received? Technically speaking, when I am sick I am not earning any income aside from £325pm Vs say Net Pay of £2000 pm. So, sick pay is actually 16% of £2K pm. Essentially, there is no income. Sorry, being tech...

Dear All, I am eligible for ILR now on the basis of having spent 5 years in combination of HSMP and T1 (G). My question is; I have been off sick since past 3 months. I know that I need to claim points for earnings in the past 12months out of 15months immediately before application date. Also, UKBA c...

Sir Yes Sir.

Point taken and will always remember for life.

A lesson once learned is not worth forgetting!

You have a good day Manka.

Meanwhile I repeatedly read the approval letters (for no reason), only for satisfaction purposes .

Thanks

Thanks guru and askhan.

I am so sorry guys...the letters were right at the bottom.

Application approved!

Thanks once again for your help!

Thanks for your reply, askhan. I expedited my case on the basis of job offer(prospective). Basically, prospective employer had asked in writing to see my passport. I informed during my 1st interview that the docs will be back by Jan'12. Also, I attached other interview offers asking me to bring in t...

Dear All, Hope we all are keeping well there. I wonder if senior members can help me with the below; I faxed UKBA last week (4/01/13) to expedite my case that had been with UKBA for more than 3 months. I bold highlighted in the body of the letter 'I DO NOT WISH TO WITHDRAW MY CASE'. I have just now ...

Dear All, We are all well aware of the processing timelines for T1 (extension). It has gone way beyond 3 months (even in my case). Basically, by virtue of this, I would like to discuss as to what constitutes valid grounds for expediting the application, I have given below 5 scenarios, please comment...

Hi wpilr_nov12,

In response to your questions, please see below;

(1)- 25th Jan'2008 = Date of Entry

(2)- 1 Oct 2012 (Current visa, which is now expired).

What do you suggest now?

Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks very much for all your contribution.

It seems variations are tricky... will let you if I went for it.

I would need to involve solicitors (thats for sure).

Anyways, your help was much appreciated.

Dear All, Hope we are all keeping well there. Basically, I had to apply for second extension as I came to UK 4 months late. However, I have now become eligible to apply for ILR and I haven't received the outcome of my extension and it is still in process at UKBA (posted 28th Sept, acknowledgement le...

I am with you 100%. The rule of claiming 'Gross Earnings' goes so in our favour. Even though the person is sick (not working - your point) and is not even earning normal Net pay. In my case £85/week, yet he can claim on the basis of 'Gross Earnings'. In my case, I happen to be lucky that I am sick b...

Thanks so much for your replies- much appreciated. Now I foresee no problem in my case. Just wondering (highly unlikely) though if a person has been on sick leave for more than 6 months+ he will still be able to claim points for those 6 month's Gross Earnings and obtain the ILR. This is actually a b...

Thanks for your reply Lucapooka. You added consecutive 12 months out of last 15months before the date of application. I duly noted that. Do you mean being on sick leave makes no difference and that I can simply add up the gross earnings for last 12 months (including these 2 months when I was on sick...
