I just found this forum and must say that its been really helpful!! I had a few questions regarding ILR. In May I can apply for ILR on the basis of 4 years on Work permit.? My questions are 1.) When should I call Croyden to book an appointment. Can I book now for May or is there a time limit? 2.) A...
Being muslim didn't seem to hurt Abu Hamza's nauralisation application. Yes, but he didn't buy a British institution like Harrods. I guess the Queen, the PM and the Home Secretary are still pretty pissed off about that. Are you serious? I don't think the Queen, PM and Home Secretary care two ticks ...
...EDIT:- Just had a look at the naturalisation form and it doesnt actually state they will be getting in touch with past or current employers, it does say: In this section you need to give information which will help the Home Secretary to decide whether he can be satisfied that you are of good cha...
thanks for the reply no, i am not planning to move out of the uk till my application is successful. if i change employers or become a contractor, how do i intimate the home office. is there a form or do i just write them a letter stating that i am employed by so and so/ or am now a contractor. hidi...
You can have all the WP and HSMP approvals you want in the world, but it's not going to mean squat unless you're able to get leave to remain. Well, that's not I was asking about, was I? Perhaps this statement would be better off told to the children at school, who do not know what obvious things me...
In my humble opinion all embarkation controls serve to do is to deter any overstayers who are considering going back to their home countries from doing so. I also find it interesting that some members of this board should show so little sympathy (empathy?) for their fellow immigrants in this wonder...
Thank you for your prompt responses! Webhunter, I think my HSMP was approved a week earlier than WP because the WP was returned to my employer at some stage asking for more information (vacancy advertisements). The HSMP application was with the Work Permits from 3rd Jan until 18th Jan. The WP was s...
Here's the link. http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/work_permits/work_permit_faq.html See section 1.5 Thanks :oops: Do you know what, I remember reading that a few years back!! :oops: I think you mean section 15. I guess you may have a problem with is bullet point 3 whic...
I do believe that the WP regulations allow you to take up supplementary work if it is after office hours and both the new/present employers do not need to seek permission from the Home Office! The stamp in your passport relating to your existing work permit should state something along the followin...
Miraculously, we have duscovered today that the British embassy in Tashkent is now accepting fiancée visa applications. So it is no longer necessary to travel to the British embassy in Almaty, Khazakstan! Yahoooo!! Good to hear that! and Good Luck with the rest of the process, at least there's one ...
I am not sure about the employment law says in regard to my contract with my new employer. I have signed the contract with them and they have done that from their side. Now we are legally bound by this contract and they are also applying for the Work Permit for me, as they believe it is not suffici...

Well done! Out of curiosity what additional documents did they ask for?
Depending upon your nationality surely it would be easier to just ask for a new passport from your country of origin. Sorry, but no. Those idiots take 3 months to supply a replacement plus lots of other bureaucracy involved including the report from the police or HO that they lost it. Up until now ...
Yes I agree! Been reading the application forms AN(NEW) and looking at the guidance on the IND website and I agree I should be okay to just apply. The only thing I can think of is for the last six months they may question whether I have been out of the country, and the only thing to do is get letter...
Well just a quick update on the passport application part, I have just noticed that if you apply through the post office, you dont have to provide the original passport you entered the country on, however they want to see your birth certificate in all passport application cases.
Hi all, I have a funny situation arise. I orginally came here on a WP, in 2001, and got my ILTR last year after 4 years on the WP. I am now waiting out the 12 months in order to apply for my naturalisation. However in the meantime my passport has expired (mid December 2005) I have therefore applied ...
Yes that is an interesting point, I thought the initial fraud was at the point of getting the ancestry visa at the High Commission in Zimbabwe. Unless it has been at both points, i.e. getting the ancestry visa and then subsequently getting the ILR once in the UK?
Is there any reason why he wants to get British Citizenship? I mean with a Spanish passport he pretty much has the same rights as a British Citizen except the ability to vote?
