Thanks

Could you post the sentence or paragraph referring to this from your letter?

No, she cannot get ILR after 4 years. There are many cases of people getting one year visas when they should have gotten 2 (because the embassies didn't follow the new HSMP rules in April 2006), but these people still have to complete 5 years for ILR. Normally, she would have been given a 4 year ext...

The letter said my application for extension was considered under the terms of the hsmp judicial review. But this doesn't matter. You are covered by JR. If applying in person, i would still bring unequivocal proof that you applied before 7 nov 2006 if I were you + ukba printouts about the ILR JR. I ...

The JR applies to those who applied to the HSMP before 7 Nov 2006 . So what counts is your application date, not your approval date. I'm not sure why your extension letter did not mention the JR, because mine did in Oct 2008. Thanks sushdmehta my 1st visa HSMP , i applied in oct 2006 and approval le...

Do you still have your acknowledgment letter? If that is dated before 7 Nov, then you are covered by JR. When did you apply? Thanks Even thou date of original letter is 15th nov 2006? rules were changed on 7th nov 2006 but applied in october 2006. Hi I was reading my HO documents and was reading a c...

How?

Sorry, I only saw the 10 April 2006 part.

You are covered by the HSMP Judicial Review. The criminality threshold will not apply to you for ILR. You will qualify under the old rules.

There is no advantage in switching to Tier 2. If your company is willing to spend the money on the Tier 2, maybe you can ask them to pay for your Tier 1 extension when the time comes for that. Hello Thanks for your answer. So I know now I would have to apply for Tier-1 extension at the end(in Aug 20...

Anyway, it is a year and a half away. And by then this government might change the qualifying time for ILR to 6 or 7 years so I wouldn't lose sleep over those 10 extra days and added fees you need. The government wont change the rule retrospectively, especially as they have already lost a court cas...

Why can't you just stay on Tier 1 and extend it before Sep 2012? Are you worried you won't meet the points requirement? Otherwise, there is no advantage in switching.

It will not work. You are not even using your Tier 1 visa. You are employed overseas (therefore no taxes), living overseas. The only thing you have in the UK are dependants. Your options are – 1. come back to the UK, find an employer and work for a year so you can apply for your Tier 1 extension 2...

No one yet knows the ILR rules for 2015 or 2016.
No one yet knows the Tier 1 extension rules for 2012.

according to the transitional arrangements doc:

"Tier 2 (General) and Work Permit migrants will
need to be paid the appropriate salary for the
occupation as set out in the relevant Code of
Practice for sponsored skilled workers."

Search through the COP for your occupation.

The OP is covered by HSMP Judicial Review (5 years). He needs to fill up 9H.

9L is for Tier 1, not original HSMP. And the question you are all referring to is for people who switched from other categories to Tier 1, like WP. This does not apply to the OP.

Just want to clarify something. I got HSMP Pre Nov 2006 then applied for extension (Teir 1 )in july 2008 before expiry of visa. 2 year hsmp was supposed to expire on 10/08/08 and teir was stamped on 04/09/08 but certainly passport was with home office. I am wondering if this would be considered as ...

As I mentioned before my son born at 18 feb this year and still got no visa stamped on his passport. We might need to travel before I get ILR next year jan 2012, So can I send his passport along with my and wifes passport or wait for our correction and apply separately for dependant visa. I guess i...

I'm going to be blunt here. You lost the £700 because of your own stupidity. If you read and understood the UKBA website, and also the letter your wife got on her 1st spouse visa and subsequent FLR, you would know the next step is ILR. Nobody skips ILR and gets to citizenship. Instead you are blami...

Do not send bank statements, salary slips etc.

Stick to the list that's been given by another poster. This is not a visa application, it's just a correction of the visa expiry date. So no need for those other documents. Keep those safe, you'll need them for ILR.

Thanks ruthie for a quick response. Can you please let me know what reason you mentioned in your cover letter for correction of dates? Do I need to send my bank statements / salary slips etc with the application and Do I need to fill any forms etc or just the doc mentioned above are okie. Please do...

It is possible. But it is like biting your own foot because you will definitely need to do 2nd extension as the new rule laid to case worker states them to issue visa from date of application if applied earlier than 28 days rather than expiry date of visa. though applying 1-2 month earlier is fine....

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to appeal against this decision. But the issue is the long waiting time for the appeal. I heard it will take 4 - 9 months for the decision. So we can't wait that long as we have already made plans and arrangements for the child. Also I've booked my holidays and tic...

It's the date of the stamp on your passport, that's when your status changed to WP holder.

thanks bani Anyone knows if I need to enclose any PROOF of Date of Departure with the ILR application ?? or will they ask for any proof ? or just need to fill in the dates in the application form ? thanks a lot No proof needed, just fill in the dates. They will look at your passport and try to see ...

Who told you that time period for ILR is increasing or atleast the UKBA intends to do that? .......Or are you just speculating? Be careful with what you say as this can be seen as passive scare mongering and lots of people here are already having sleepless nights.....We know you got your ILR recent...
