Ramesh how do u know about the recommendation of 28 days from head office ? I asked them to put a later date on the visa date but its already begun ticking time..tvn_ramesh wrote:You can enter UK as long as your visa is valid..
but HO recommends to enter within 28days if you are serious about ILR
I am confused now.. one part is initital grant of visa whihc i have now.. and how is ILR different now?raghava39@rediffmail.com wrote:28 days recommendation is for ILR, otherwise you can even enter UK before the Visa expires.
Regarding the other question, my guess is your travel date might have been longer three months from the date of application, hence Visa Office might have considered the date of application itself as starting date for Visa.
Thanks

this is still confusing me - i just want to knw that snce i have just been granted a visa do i need to step into the UK before 28 days or i can manage t o come in later also ..tvn_ramesh wrote:You will not loose anything if you dont enter within 28days but HO recommends to enter because if you enter within 28days after you 1st extension(if the 5yrs rule stays at that time) that is 3yrs + 2yrs you can apply 28days before completing 5yrs for ILR..
If you dont enter with in 28days.. we need to go for extra extension at that time.. again permiting the rules to stay same as today

You can enter UK anytime during the validity of your visa.
Scenario 1 : If you enter within 28 days of the issue of your visa, you can apply for PR with only ONE extension.(if the present rules do not change)
Scenario 2: If you do not enter within 28 days of the issue of your visa, you will have to get your visa extended TWO times before you can apply for PR.
Carry all your documents you used to get your visa in ur hand luggage, they might get handy at the immigration check. Also carry a chest X-ray if possible, this will possibly cut about a couple of hours at the immigration check. Carry TCs and a little cash to get on till you open your bank account. TCs are safe and can be cashed at various places.
Hope you are not still confused...
All the best..

Is travel insurance and medical cover advisable or a personal choice ? How much can i end up paying there for the same - medical insurance.
Any insurance is to cover the risk of threats! So travel insurance advisable. Medical insurance is not required, if you are here for working on Tier 1, as you will be covered on NHS.
chest x- ray i definitely will and some short sundry cash to the tune of 100 quid i guess.. should be enough ?
Should suffice, IMO
