Well, i still have an airline ticket for that jurney. there was no passport control on the way back in dublin, only check in at the airport. i don't have problem with absences.Probably it is going to be approximately 10 weeks maximum some years less than that. What is you source of information when ...

I am just trying to prepare myself better now than regret later.... Those are the stories from the people i talked to and they got ilr but it is true that they got it because of the marriage or WP so i assumed it was the same for everyone. Can someone please clarify if i can apply any time after ful...

Because someone who already has gine through that told me that HO needs more examples not just bank statements but diffenrent things to show you were here.
My main question is
-- do i have to apply 4 weeks in advance or it doesn't matter if i apply any time later?

Also, I forgot to say that i have all letters from HO regarding visa applications and extensions.

On 2. 08. it will be 10 years that I am in the UK. Do I have to apply 4 weeks before that date? Is it possible for me to go home for a few weeks and than apply after i get back? For the first two years I was an Au Pair and except visa in my old passport and bank statements and an english school id c...

Thank you for your reply. Does it mean yes or no?

Can student visa holder get live in job? (as long as he doesn't work more than 20 hrs/week)

Maybe lawyer was wrong? That is what am I trying to find out.

Does every student need to have a sponsor? If I have enough money do I need to look for one? Thank you. One more question. A friend of mine is here for almost 8 years and was talking to one lawyer who told her that status as an student DOESN'T count for a long residence? Is that true and has anythin...

Will wp aplication be succesful if aplicant hasn't finished degree course but IT course which gives him internationally recognised qualifications from Microsoft - i.e. programming/software development? It is not clear to me how are these qual. valuated? And will my employer be more succesful if he e...

If I want to apply for ilr then how long am i allowed to be absent from this country per year?
I heard something that time has been decreased but does it apply for people who have been here from long time before that new rule?

but often it will be possible to plan around that ... if possible apply when no overseas trip is planned. It is not possible. You have to apply 4 weeks in advance of your current leave to remin expires. If applied too early it won't be considered if too late you are out! HO is not thinking about pe...

Yes John you are missing the point. I hope you know now why is that concern.
£250 is still high. £500 is not decent.

Yes there is concern about waitting for passport to come back because nobody can travel without passport. It is very inconvenient to wait really long. If that takes 4 weeks thats ok but to be without passport for 14 and more weeks (3-4 months!!!) thats can cause problems to applicant. For example, p...

It is true that i don't know details about his cuicumstances. There are lots of rules about student status but they let him go, so i assumed that he didn't broke the rules? Who knows.

Make sure you are sitting while reading this. One guy, student, travelled abroad for holiday and when comming back to UK he was kept 9 hours at the airport to be questiond by immigration officers! There was nothing wrong with him, no criminal record or anything. They were not extremely nice to him (...

Good point. Actually i was thinking about that. Do you know about swedish unis? Accomodation cost and LANGUAGE? I can speak only english.

I read on FLR application form that 70% cases take 4 weeks to process and 90% of cases take 14 weeks to process. I don't get this. So how long can it take? Is this so confusing to get us pay £500 for prmium service? By the way when you go there on premium you still have to wait whole day, there is n...

The Conservative Party is calling for annual refugee and immigrant quotas; bonds for temporary workers

What does this mean?

Immigration and the key parties in the UK election 05 May 2005 UK voters are going to the polls today, and while we won't know the outcome until early on 6 May, workpermit.com gives you an idea of what each party is offering in terms of immigration. The Conservative Party is calling for annual refu...

Is it true that now students when applying for visa extention has to wait for 8 weeks to 6 months?!

Thank you for your reply. Can you please tell me how can we prove that we intend to leave after our studies? In application form there is one question about that and options yes/no to check as an answer. How much money do students need to show on their bank account? Are short courses ones that inclu...

I am on IT college (but not degree) studying developing and recently quite a few of my collegues' visa extention was refused and they couldn't finish their studies here. I don't know what went wrong with their applications but there is a ruomour that there is no rules any more and that whoever is fe...
