Better to get it sorted with your Accounts department before applying.
Otherwise if you can prove that it was company expense paid back to you.

Sometimes when we go out for lunch and company has to pay for, one of us pays and claim it back using companies expense form.

I am with 2 dependants. I called exactly 8:59 and got through in first attempt.

You can also try calling around 4:30 pm everyday to check for any cancellations.

I booked appointment for 3rd July in Sheffield, they said at 9:05 this morning that they were fully booked in Croydon and Birmingham.

I will complete my 4 years on 3rd July as well.

Where it is written exactly, I have not seen it anywhere for the category

"Migrants who will soon have completed four years' continuous residence in the United Kingdom in a qualifying category"

Thanks for your help.

I was given FLR to complete 5 year to qualify for ILR. Therefore is it true that I can apply for ILR anytime after completing 4 years and still get it started from the date when I completed my 4th year. Fro example, if my 4 year complete on 1 July 09 and I apply for ILR in September 09 my ILR will s...

True!

Six months, that is too long.

More application fees but still less staff and slow processing.

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please give a rough idea that how long it can take to actually get the visa stamped?

Hi

My sister has got her appeal approved, so I would like to know if there is any rule defined that she has to enter UK within 28 days of issuance of visa?

I cannot find this info. anywhere but have heard it from some of my friends!

Good to know that job is not a must.

Thanks for your reply Sushil.

Hi to forum moderators, Writing after a long time, my question is that for ILR on HSMP as a main applicant do I have to keep working till the end of 5 years. Can there be any gaps in the job? Is there any salary requirement? My background is that I have been working for 3.5 years and now due to some...

do not worry... even if you receive it late, the new visa would be stamped and it would be valid from 23/09/2006 onwards...

Outside people are sitting to do transltions and attestations...

Also translate/attest your marraige certificate & ID Card if applicaable!

not in my case!

If the concession is related to Child Tax Credit than you are not eligible but if it is only because your child is above three than you can go for it.

You will know this when you actually start the process.
