Hi, My employer advised me that my job is being TUPE'd in a few months. They also advised me that my work permit will expired when the job is transfered to the new employer. My understanding about TUPE is that the new employer MUST take on my work permit, otherwise it could be categorized as unfair ...

Hi,

I spent 1 year with a HSMP, then switched to Work Permit. Can I apply for ILR with 1 year HSMP + 4 years WO?

Thanks.

I have recently found out about the HSMP Forum Judicial arrangements made by Home Office with regards to HSMP. I have applied for and received my HSMP before 3 April 2006, but I was unable to get enough points for an extension under the new Tier 1 rules, therefore I switched to a Work Permit. I unde...

Cant your company just say that the advert was placed online and that after X days, they received no applications ?

I think I read somewhere that online advert needs to be kept for only one week (minimum).

Hi liuning,

I understand you problem. I think the only thing you can do right now is put pressure on your employer to apply for your WP as soon as possible!

Hi, Thanks for you reply. You got this letter because you applied for your extension during the suspension period using the old form, and without sending prove to score 75 points. To my understanding, they gave you a "grace period" so you can comply with the new rules, meaning score 75 poi...

I think so... but you would need to enroll at a university for full-time studies, and pay international student fees.

Hi, Can someone explain a bit more about this grace period? When does it start and end?

When does this grace period of 28 days start? after expiration of HSMP?

So do HSMP holders need to submit there extension even knowing it's going to be refused just to get this "grace period"???

I don't understand... where did you get this information?

How do I request this letter?? Who sends it? Is it from Home Office? Where did you hear about it? Why 5th Dec?? Is this a deadline for applying to WP??

Yes, that's what they told me when I called them... But what about the grace period?? I forgot to inquire about it... Another question, I couldn't find anywhere in the WP forms where the employer (or employee) should mention the worker is a HSMP holder. I was expecting this would be signaled somehow...

I'm very frustrated about the new HSMP rules. I was planning to apply for extension, but I've just realized that I score ALL the points in ALL categories exept Academic. 45 points for earnings 20 for age 5 for uk experience ALL TOP SCORES!! But 0 for Academic. I didn't claim academic experience when...

I found this paragraph at Home Office Web site. Does anybody knows anything about this "Grace Period" ???? "Transitional arrangements will apply for those whose leave to remain expires under the new rules and whose applications will be considered against the new criteria. Those who ar...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

are WP dependents allowed to work??

Hi, I've been working in Uk under HSMP for eight months now, but I can't achieve 75 points for the extension (I'm 5 points short - no academic skills). I'm thinking about changing my HSMP to WP. I read on the HSMP guidance that new transitional rules have been put in place for HSMP holder to switch ...

Is that true? Someone can continue to extend their HSMP? Where did you read this? I'm also worried about this 4 to 5 year rule. Does it mean I will have to extend my HSMP again after the 3 year extension? In the HSMP guidance, it says you can apply for a 3 year extension, but it doesnt say anything ...

Hello! I have a few doubts regarding HSMP Extension: 1. My entry clearance is dated Feb 20, 2006 and my HSMP letter is dated Nov 29, 2005. When should I apply for extension? 2 months before my Entry Clearance expires or before my HSMP letter expires? 2. Should I also send my original HSMP letter whe...

Hi, I am trying to book an interview to get my NI number... I have already filled out the form and returned it to london.ninocallcentre@jobcentreplus.gsi.gov.uk, But it's been almost a week and still no response from Jobcentre. I will start working on monday. And my employer is already asking for my...

Hi,

I received an offer to work in Jersey Island, I did some research but I`m still not sure if it is part of UK or not. Is HSMP valid for working in Jersey island??

Thank you,

Hi Ajex,

Thank you!

I searched Google, and I found a few hotels that had self catering studios for affordable prices.

Hi! Just want to share with you that my EC has been approved today. I applied for EC in Rio de Janeiro on December 20. There was no interview, I sent my docs through the mail and received a call this morning asking me to pick up my documents. Those are the documents I sent to the embassy: 1. VAF1 fo...

Wish you all a wonderfull 2006!!

The charging team returns documents if there is a problem with the payment of the application. In this case, it is sent back to the applicant without being processed by the HSMP team. I asked about the deparment because you havent said the results of your application. That is really strange, maybe y...

No, you have 28 days to file the first review, and after you receive the result of the first review you have 28 more to file the second review.

Good Luck!
