Hi I had a 5 year EC based on a WP; issued and used from 2002 and my passport was stamped every single time I arrived in the UK (40+ times). It could be that the immigration officer forgot to stamp it, ink was dry or someone made a mistake and you went to the domestic terminal without checks. It hap...
zorz, From mexico or any other non commonwealth country is the same... If you don't have a parent or grandparent who is british or if you don't have another nationality apart of Mexican, you have to apply for a work related visa: If you have a lot of money available, then try investor or entrepreneu...
My understanding is the multiple entry WP doesn't count for ILR. I understand that it is intended for exporadic visit to the UK and not settlement, hence, time spend under ME WP doesn't count towards ILR.

Roads, Police, NHS, Utilities, Public Transport, Post, Legal System.....all of those are supported by the State and taxes other people are paying. A society must operate under a set of laws and these must include immigration.
Amirkhan, I THINK EVERY HUMAN SHOULD HAV THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND STAY ANYWHERE WHERE EVER HE LIKES.THESE RESTRICTIONS NEEDS TO BE LIFTED.....THERE SHOULD BE FREEDOM FOR EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING Truth is, if the parents are as rich as you imply, they have the right to live anywhere they want; money is ...
Air123, The UK immigration system is changing each minute; general concensus is that the UK must have stronger, more effective ways of controlling who enters, lives and leaves the country. Most students and visitors are being fingerprinted at the local embassies and stronger controls are being slowl...
yes, she can apply;
I advise you to confirm the effect on ILR as there were some comments about ILR clock being re set after moving from HSMP to WP (you should confirm the current status)
You have 28 days from the moment the work permit is cancelled; in those 28 days you need to get a new FLR (other leave to remain, tier 1 or tier 2-3). If you fail to get the new FLR you will be overstaying, this will cause you significant problems in the future. It may prove easier to return to your...
Sanyasha, Based on your information, you have been in breach of immigration laws since 2005. Work permits are only valid if applied by your employer and not for umbrella companies to offer contractors to third parties. Immigration controls are being tightened, and that may be the reason why company ...
You must consider the risk; if for some strange reason the ILR application is refused, maybe the desicion is delayed and you receive a negative response in 4-6 months time...then you would be exposed to problems with the ILR in the future. One scenario could be the HO decides that you need two - six...
As I understand, you will get ILR and your dependants would also get ILR as dependants (even if they arrived after you). After this, each one would be independent (they hold ILR by themselves) and can apply for BC when they want after 12 months.
There are some lists on this site; however, I can think about somethings. - Bring important documents that are difficult to find here (marriage certificate?, birth certificate?, driving license?...) documents that you may need and obtaining a copy from the Uk would be difficult. - Work references, l...
Days; Immigration guidance is issued based on days and they count days to confirm if requirements have been met. Half days are not counted, for example if you arrived on a day it is not counted (read the guidance to help you establish how they count). It helps during ILR and nationality applications...
All banks in the UK are required to obtain satisfactory proof of address; try the following documents: - letter from your employer (once you get a job) - letter from the council on your name - letter from the phone company (mobile phone) - Police registration certificate (in case you are required to...
You broke the conditions of your entry clearance and worked illegally; when applying for permanent residency you must show 5 continuos years working with proper entry clearance. When you present the ILR application, you would have to state your work and immigration history; you would need to show th...
you can apply online; UK companies tend to accept:
VISA
MASTERCARD
and if your local card has one of those logos, then it may be accepted by the UK vendors; they would charge you in pounds and your bank would do the exchange.
There are specific visas for representatives of foreign companies, investors and entrepreneurs. It would be better if you start with those. Additionally, setting up a company in the Uk is straight forward (£100), that should be your first step. As this is a company activity, I suggest you engage th...
Going back to the "commercial contract" analogy, the case here with HO changing the 4 to 5 years requirement is a common situation. HO advertised and stated that people could apply for ILR after 4 years on HSMP; the mistake was that on the letters, statements and booklets they failed to us...
akhil_1, Did you and your dependant applied for entry clearance as a married couple 5 years ago? in other words, is the dependant's entry clearance based on your WP and granted five years ago? if the UK marriage was additional to an existing marriage and no visa changed, it shouldn't be a major prob...
