Hi
just a general question. I believe it is same as T2 extension that dependents dont have to apply together with the main applicant right? obviously, they still have a valid PBS dependent visa.
for example, i applied now without dependents although my dependents are also eligible with respect to 5 years in UK. That should be fine as they still have a valid visa until end of next year.

Thanks

[CULLINAN]

Correct. They can apply anytime before their visa expiry or as soon as they qualify at the earliest, given main applicant’s status is secured, only then dependent’s applications will be successful.

Hello All,

We are applying ILR end of this month. Our T2G sponsorer has paid salary on different dates but always before 10th. Is that going to be a problem in the application?

J

Dear gurus and moderators
Thank you all for your patience and effort guiding many people Ike me. Its been a while I applied for Ilr ( 1 nov, biometric on 13th nov), but nothing from ho yet. Many who applied after me are getting decisions, I m becoming paranoid of this.
Just for my own relief, can I please if everything looks Ok to you from my history below.

Was living in an European Country before coming to UK. Entry clearance visa granted for me and my 2 dependents in tht country, from 29 sep 2015 till 29 oct 2015. brp from 28 Sept 2015 Till 15 oct 2018.

I came frst to Uk without dependents from that country on 29 sep 2015 via Dublin, so I don’t have an immigration stamp on my visa. At Dublin airport next to the uk visa page, Irish visitor visa stamp was Stamped. Then I went back to the European country on 16 oct 2015 and came back with my 2 dependents on 20 oct 2015. at Heathrow we were all stamped that date on our entry clearance visas.

2 extensions of my tier 2 with same employer, 1st from 28sep 2018 till 14 feb 2020, second from 12 dec 2019 till 29 sept 2021. change of employer applied in May 2020( me alone) started working with new employer from jul 2020 without brp because of covid. Got the visa on 6 aug 2020 till 22 sep 2021.

Ilr set o applied on 1st nov. above documents were uploaded and submitted.

Do you see any issues in this?

Thank you

Hi all,
i asked something related to this but no replies, probably i wasnt clear.
just to be clear, and probabaly helpful for other applicants applying for ILR, when are the new skilled worker rules coming in place for ILR decision making?
like for example if people are applying now based on T2G to ILR route, what are the salary thresholds being considered? because the minimum experianced rates are different for SOC codes for T2G (Appendix J) and skilled worker routes (going on rates) !
or for T2G based applicants, minimum rates for experienced workers are considered from Appendix J? i cannot find this Appendix J rules anymore!
in my case, i applied for ilr in nov, my SOC code is 2311, where minimum rate is 33k pa for experianced worker, will that be considered or is it the 40k pa going on rate mentioned for this SOC code for skilled worker route.!!
Thank you.

Hi
should i have to disclose income from home country in UK for taxation? i have properties on my name which are generating rental income, but the money is not transfered to any account on my name either in my home country or in the UK. They are managed by my parents. Pls suggest.
Thanks

The rules that are enforced are, I believe, the ones that are in place at the date of your application. Since I didn't see anything in the new rules to indicate that it was being applied retrospectively, the old rules should apply to you. I'm by no means an expert, as I've said previously, but that has been my experience of it.

Your best bet is to speak to a tax expert. Technically, if you are tax resident in the UK, all income should be declared, even if it is not taxable in the UK (due to double taxation treaties or otherwise). Although the properties are in your name, I would imagine that they would become taxable in the hands of the beneficial owner (assuming that is not you). If your parents are the recipients and beneficiaries of that income, they may be the ones for whom it is taxable income, but you'd need to provide more details to an expert in personal income tax to confirm.

Hi
I have my absences from UK mentioned on the letter by my employer. The table has rows mentioning, date left Uk, date returned to Uk and reason for absence. Is this enough? I seen some people also have a row for ‘ number of days’ , is that mandatory on the letter?
Thank you

It's not mandatory (at least I've seen no requirements for it). Some people just include a separate schedule that specifies the number of days to make it simpler for the case worker as they don't have to calculate it themselves. Having said that, if you're well below the limit, I don't imagine that they manually calculate it (but I could be wrong).

Hi
when i first got my entry clearance i gave my bachelors degree (from a diff country) as a proof for english requirement. i did submit the blue NARIC certificates along with it. Now for ILR as i heard that red route is required, i submitted my masters degree (from a diff country) with red route NARIC AQUALs and ELS. Is this fine?
i saw people using whatever they used for their initial application for T2! i couldnt get red route from NARIC for the bachelors degree as i didnt get a seperate 'degree taught in enlgish letter' from the univ in that country. am i just overthinking?
Thanks

Overthinking, you will be fine with what you have submitted now on the red route.

Hi
i am trying to understand if there is any issue in my case. I have been granted entry clearance T2 G which i have applied from an EU country in 2015. As the cheapest option i choose to fly to Dublin and to a local airport in UK from that EU country. As an Indian national, at Dublin they stamped on my passport a short stay thing which says allowed to stay 90 days, no work, and no public funds. When i flew into the local airport in the UK, there was no immigration check, so no date stamp on my entry clearance visa. i started to work for my sponsor and i went back to the EU country after 20 days to pickup my family. by this time i already collected BRPs. We flew back into Heathrow, where the immigration/border control specifically asked for entry clerance visa and they said this has to be stamped and wondered how it wasnt. it wasnt an issue and they stamped (date stamp) then on my entry clearance vignette and family's as well. Just wanted to ask if this will create any complications during my ILR application which i will apply soon ?
Thank you

Sorry to come back on this, the above question was asked and kindly Zimba did answer that it should not be a problem. am just wondering, if at all this is an issue, will HO consider my continous period beyond this date? so i entered on 29th sep 2015 via ireland to UK, i was date stamped on entry clearance at heathrow on 20th OCT 2015, i applied for ILR on 1 NOV 2020, so counting backwards, the continous period of 5 years is 30 OCT 2015. i have all entry stamps to UK during this period. will it be considered that way?

or as i mentioned in my application that i entered UK for the first time on 29th sep 2015, there is no date stamp of that other than the Irish visitor visa stamp on that day when i was transiting. i did provide my flight ticket for this. will they be doing further checks on this?

this is weired but i am getting something in my mind, the irish tourist visa is ony valid for ROI is it? it doesnot say anythng like BIVS visa. I am assuming this wont override the UK entry clearance or UK T2 visa?

just so many things coming into my mind as this wait is making me super OCD!!
Thanks
