Good Day All, After a few discussions on this site (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=304035#304035) and some research, I did manage to get my ILR! Background: WP for 4.8 years, then made redundant Had Tier 1 general based on MBA Transitional arrangements Opened PLC about 10 days ago ...
Hi All, Many thanks for the response. Just a quick recap- -Lost job in the 1st week of Sept, so out of job for about 7 weeks on Tier 1. -Tier 1 Obtained in July. -Spent about 5 weeks to get a new contract from a company in USA for financial analysis and checking the BPM structure. They also paid me ...
Wow! I am really worried. Surely they do not expect immediate pick up on the business side! I started my company with a £1000 capital, from a contract work I did while I registered the company. Can I show that as an earning? may be get a letter from an accountant to state the above, and the registr...
Hi Wanderer, Does it mean the Home office will not accept just the incorporation. But they need to see an established business. If yes for how long? I thought (presumably thought wrong!)a registered start up company, given that I was made redundant end of Sept, and now this is late Oct, they would a...
Good Day All, Thanks for taking the time to read and possibly respond to my message. I have an ILR interview due on Mon. I was WP until Aug, but then unfortunately I was made redundant and therefore after a major change of plans, I decided to set up my own company. My question is re the docs I need ...
Dear Board Members, Good afternoon to you all. I am in a very strange situation and would like to seek advice from someone on the matter. I was made redundant recently ( last month of employment was Aug). As of the first week of Oct I am eligible for ILR. However, I am not sure if I am allowed to ap...
Hi f2k, I was on WP from Nov 04 until July 09. Then applied for Tier 1 basis of my MBA. So the JR does not apply. When I had option of changing over, I did not do so thinking I was saving money! But in hindsight could have been cheaper and could have even benefitted from JR. But thats why they cal i...
Hi All, Many thanks for your replies. I love this forum. The reason was to apply asap to mimise the time between my redundancy (last date is 28/08 ) and the ILR application 5th Oct. I have more than sufficient savings to show for comfort. But what the account will not show is an income. So I thought...
Dear All, Good day to all. A quick and simple question. For an immigrant on a student visa, ie incountry, if the person gets a Work permit approval in, for eg the month of Jan and the passport comes back with a stamp of Feb, what would be used as the start date for the ILR clock? I would have assume...
Hi All, Has anyone applied for their ILR before the 28 days allowance. Given the queue at the HO and the work load, I am wondering if we can send the docs about 10 days earlier, such that when it does get seen by the Case worker, it will be withing the 28 days allowance. Question is - Does the payme...

Hi All, I was just informed by an immigration lawyer from my wife's bank that there is a distinct possibility that partners/ dependents of Visa holders, including Tier 1 will not be allowed to work from April onwards. He is a respectable lawyer (not a consultant, not a nobody)from a very large multi...
Hi all, I have been in the UK for over 3.5 years with my wife and child as dependents. In fact, will be 4 years in October. There have been a spate of redundancies at my work place and though I dont have any fear of a redundancy at the moment, I dont want to wait until that happens. My wife has the ...
OL7MAX, Our friend here may be a very much true and eligible case. Especially people displaced from the war torn nations. they really have more moral grounds than anyone else. I have travelled extensively around the globe in the last 16 years, seens a lot of places and cannot say I can put this anym...
Hi Chandra, I can vouch for that. I did the same. My daughter was born about a year after my change of WP. So I decided to apply for the same from India for her. Wife travelled to India on my daughter's Indian passport. There they applied for her visa through an agent. For 800 INR, he took the passp...
Hi All, Many thanks for your reply. I managed to get some information re the above topic from the IND internal guidance doc on their website, where the 6 month rule applies for any 12 month period. It is not a rule as such, but does look like it serves as a strict guideline. Link as below for any on...
Hi Again, Thanks for the reply. No she is not here to work. Infact she has a substantial bank balance and enough financial ties back home. Her finances are pretty stable. For sure. Quite a few visa on her passport already. She does helps us with the baby, (3 days a week, while our daughter goes to t...
Hi All, Need some advice/ feedback from people who have been in or known similar situation. We had my wife's cousin over recently from India for six months after the birth of our daughter. It worked perfectly well while she was here. We are considering the idea of calling her over again within 6 wee...
I had gone through this procedure in June 2005. It was relatively straightforward procedure. I went there with a pre booked appoinment. All my regular docs, like bank statements, employer letter etc. The interview lasted 5-8 mins. The wait was about 1.5 hrs and I had my passport back with the stamp....
