Ridiculous indeed it is..

Can anyone post the full article here as I am not able to open the IND website from here

This is indeed very unfair. I will be completing my four years in July and was looking forward to ILR within three months and now it seems I have to wait for another full year for the same. They should have changed the rules for candidates who have entered in the UK recently. It seems another way of...

Are they really planning to implement it from April'2006??

What will happen to candidates who are planning to apply for ILR in next 3-4 months?

Just out of curiosity, how one can qualify as financial adviser? I mean what qualification/Exams do you need to clear?

Yeah, I have just spoken to HSBC and their service is good but the rate they are offering is not better than Halifax and Nationwide.

What offer did you get, if you dont mind telling ofcourse?

I am also in the same boat. I can produce around 10% deposit.
I have spoken with Halifax and Intelligent finance, both are ready to provide me mortgage.
Havnt spoken to Nationwide as of now but going to talk to them on wednesday and will post the details.

Thanks again Basis.

I was worried because they wrote the line "This supersedes the stamp on page 15" by a black pen.

So I was kinda worried that may be mortgage people think about it otherwise

Thanks for your reply basis.
So is it perfectly normal for them to write the line?? do you know anyone similar to this case?

I was on work permit with a company from Aug'2002 - Sept-2004. I changed the employer and was again on work permit from Oct-2004 - April-2005 (Valid till Sept-2009). Then I decided to go for HSMP and was awarded the same intially for one year starting from April'2005. I recently applied for HSMP ext...

HSMP Extension application:

Would let you know when I get my passports back..

My friend opted for Premium service at Birmingham PEO last year for ILR (WP+HSMP) and he was granted the same.

So, is it now not possible to opt for premium service (WP+HSMP) at PEO's for ILR?

Yeah, this is normal for a contractual position.
Initial contracts are for normally three and sometimes six months.

Apologies if this question has been asked before.. I am in process of applying for HSMP Extension in a day or two, In the FLR(IED) form, Q. NO 29 says "What is your HSMP reference number"? Is this the number mentioned on "Initial approval letter" under "Our reference" ?...

This website is so so slow, I have to download the FLR(IED) form for HSMP extension but I am not able to do it

Salary slips and bank statements will do just fine for extension.
I have just sent you an PM, have a look at that.

Hi, I have just spoken to my cousin (who is a solicitor in the UK) about your case. She says personally she thinks you send her passport along with yours when you apply for your HSMP extension. If they ask why the Visa duration is diffirent then you explain the situation or when applying for HSMP ex...

Yes, You can change your status from WP holder to HSMP visa and at the same time continue with the same employer.
I did that exactly the same, so you can go ahead.

Hope this answer your query

I agree with f2k , had ref. no. xxxxx/01 and got approved in ten days

It is not necassary to claim points in Income catagory. I dint claim but I got HSMP approval.
Try to provide sufficient evidence for points you are claiming. Browse this forum and you will find all the information you need

All the best.

I dont think so, One of my friend got her US visitor visa in the UK and she was here for just one and half year(on Student Visa).
