thank you for the guidance everyone.

any suggestions as to which PEO is the best one to go to?

I had already set my eyes on Croydon but a friend recently went to Sheffield and said it was really nice.

Anyone wants to pour their thoughts in please?

thank you

Just completed the LIUK test and passed. i passed it in two attempts, failed the first test because did not prepare as good and the set of questions which came were quite difficult as well. used online sources and the book. found the questions easier today but they were confusing. any questions, i a...

LIUK doesnt have an expiry date. For LR applications, u dont need anything other than 10 year passport showing residence. Rest of the points are irrelevant. when is it a good time to do the LIUK? just before the ILR is due or one can do it long before? does the HO check NI and how much work one has...

Hi there everyone, so basically I keep getting stopped and delayed in the airport due to UK border force error. They have somewhow linked me with another individual with same name and now everytime I fly outside UK I get stopped and questioned. I have made a complaint to UK border force and they st...

Hi All, Apologies if this has been asked or discussed before. I will be applying for ILR in the coming months. However i would like to know from everyone what their ideas and opinions are regarding: 1. When should i appear for Life in the UK test - is it okay to appear before few months? can that no...

Hi I had a similar experience in the past, questioned and few times. I wrote a letter to immigration complaint department And attached detention documents. Immigration complaint department sent me apologetic letter. Never been questioned again. thank you for the reply. is the complaint department t...

any help please. looking forward to hear from anyone. thank you in advance

do you have to declare cautions as well? is it not only the convictions which are to be declared?
and do cautions stay on the file? or they get erased after sometime?

Dear All, I need some help regarding the 20 hour working while being a student. I have been working for 2 employers but I have never exceeded the 20 hours per week with both of them combined. The issue is however a little complex. One of the employers pays according to the hours worked per week, and...

i will file for a SAR as one of other solicitors have also asked me to do that. but there was another one who said they cannot deny me entry because i am in the middle of my course and i shall have no problem in entering. is there anyone else who had faced a similar situation before their ilr was du...

Dear all, My 10 year is due next January. Whenever i travel and come back, i am stopped at the border for extra questioning. I am given a temporary detention paper which i assume is a procedure which the officers have to follow. After questioning and checking details they let me go, it takes 15-20 m...

as i said.. dont cancel or withdraw but when you go for the second interview. explain the situation and scenario and request the interviewer to allow you to send some further documentation which you forgot or missed to send before. withdrawing will not help because once you put the info on the syste...

Nice pun.

funny, that how our friends want to play and just work work work.

what do you mean by hassle during the academic year? applying for a visa will not take more than 2-3 hours. and these days the university sends almost all of the applications through the Batch scheme, so probably you will fill the online application under the supervision of the immigration adviser a...

i think you are making things difficult for yourself.. lets try and make it simple according to the rules, because the rules are very simple. :) 1. 20 hours max work allowed during term time 2. full time work allowed during off term. it is when you have summer, winter, Easter vacations and even afte...

i will try to explain few things and in bullet points to make it easy for you to understand. 1. there is no permanent visa for Pakistani national in UAE. you have residence, called an Iqama. 2. did you not fill the form youself? and i think the form is pretty much clear about travel history, you sho...

so, what happened eventually. did you and your wife get divorced? :roll: :roll: the way you wanted to stay in the uk and applied for bogus colleges, the same way the lady did by becoming your dependent. main motto was to live in the uk. for both of you.. eventually going back is the foreseeable futu...

nicely said by the above poster. moreover on what ground would you apply for FLR? and how would you pay for it for yourself and your dependent. flr will give you only few more months, and then bye bye, if not then you will become illegal. you cannot tell the ukvi that you cannot go because you do no...

My last visa was finished on september 2014, which was for MBA. on september 2014 i applied for another tier 4 visa from a college. I got the visa but recently the college got revoked. In the meantime i have finished my MBA on january 2015. Now if i apply for another tier 4 visa, will i be consider...

first of all how would you assure the ukvi that you will not claim an asylum in the UK? circumstances keep on changing with time therefore the case worker would say that fair enough you dont need an asylum now but how can you guarantee the future? secondly i do not think that any data is deleted so ...

So if I'm not mistaken, that means if I'm sponsored by my parents, I am BTW, then I'm not eligible to apply for a tier 1 and so start up a company in UK, right? No. "Sponsor" in this context has nothing to do with who is funding your studies. It means your university. They are your Tier 4...
