You may apply 28 days before 6th August 2012, if you meet all other standard conditions. However it appears that home office is intent on chaging rules so you may need an extension if they increase the time period for ILR. but your ILR is at least a year and half away, so dont worry.hsmp0804 wrote:Hello,
Could you please suggest my case.
I came to UK on 14th Sept 2007 however my HSMP visa was granded on 6th Aug 2007. So I arrived 38 days after my visa was granted. After that on 6th Aug 2009, I was granted Tier-1 extension till 6 Aug 2012.
Do I need to apply for Tier-1 extension or I would be allowed to apply for ILR in Aug 2012?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, you need another HSMP extension. Had you arrived within 28 days, not 38 days, of your HSMP visa stamp you would have been OK.hsmp0804 wrote:Hello,

Who told you that time period for ILR is increasing or atleast the UKBA intends to do that? .......Or are you just speculating? Be careful with what you say as this can be seen as passive scare mongering and lots of people here are already having sleepless nights.....We know you got your ILR recently....xyz123 wrote: However it appears that home office is intent on chaging rules so you may need an extension if they increase the time period for ILR. but your ILR is at least a year and half away, so dont worry.
I don't think the intent was for you to be scared and not sleep at night.kunald wrote: Who told you that time period for ILR is increasing or atleast the UKBA intends to do that? .......Or are you just speculating?

The government wont change the rule retrospectively, especially as they have already lost a court case once. Everyone knows what happened when they tried to force the HSMP holders who were promised eligibility for PR after 4 years to wait an extra year!bani wrote:Anyway, it is a year and a half away. And by then this government might change the qualifying time for ILR to 6 or 7 years so I wouldn't lose sleep over those 10 extra days and added fees you need.
Do you bother to read properly? There is a big IF in front of words saying"increase the time period". Everyone knows UKBA wants to change rules but no one knows firm details of changes. That's exactly what i wrote in my post i.e. UKBA changes rules and IF these changes mean increase in ILR qualifying period than OP need sextension.kunald wrote:Who told you that time period for ILR is increasing or atleast the UKBA intends to do that? .......Or are you just speculating?

What is the point of writing IFs? That "IF" thing is called scare mongering. I can add anything after an "IF" and then give excuse that there was an if and it might not happen at all. What "IF" the ILR route is stopped all together? If YOU bother to read this forum properly you will see there were numerous threads where mods requested people not to SPECULATE. Besides...if you want to get respect in the forum brush up your knowledge on immigration and give some constructive advice to the people instead of giving evasive and "may be", "may not be" or "depends on your luck" sort of answers. Thats what you have been doing since you got your own ILR.......Sorry mods and others if I sound rude but here is an example where mods specifically mentioned NO to any speculation and in plain english anything preceded with an "IF" is mere speculation. Everytime a rule change becomes imminent the self styled so called experts start speculating.xyz123 wrote:Do you bother to read properly?

There is no scare mongering here. Its just fact that if they increase the time period (last last government proposed to do) then OP will need an extension.
And everyone knows it's because of just one section on the HSMP guidance notes pre Nov 2006, that didn't exist on the WP guidance notes so all WP holders were affected retrospectively.cheshiregoan wrote:The government wont change the rule retrospectively, especially as they have already lost a court case once.

So I know now I would have to apply for Tier-1 extension at the end(in Aug 2010) to cover up 10 days.
Hello,
Could you please suggest my case.
I came to UK on 14th Sept 2007 however my HSMP visa was granded on 6th Aug 2007. So I arrived 38 days after my visa was granted. After that on 6th Aug 2009, I was granted Tier-1 extension till 6 Aug 2012.
Do I need to apply for Tier-1 extension or I would be allowed to apply for ILR in Aug 2012?
Thanks in advance.
Need another suggestion,
At the moment, my employer is happy to provide me everything to switch to Tier-2 visa(Sponsored skilled workers) http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier2/
and as rules are changing from 6th April 2011,
1) Do you suggest me to switch to Tier-2 (Sponsored skilled worker) NOW in order to get easy Tier-2 extension in Aug 2012?
2) Or should I be with my Tier-1 (General) visa which is valid till Aug 2012 and then seek extension?
3) How possible is that rules changes by Aug 2012 not to give extension to Tier-1(General) visa holder which came initially on HSMP visa?
Thanks in advance
First of all, i am not after so called respect from your people like you. this is a public forum and i can say whatever i like as long as it is not abusive to others. There are a lot of people of cases whose cases really depend on luck as technically they are in breach of rules and my answers have been accordingly.kunald wrote:What is the point of writing IFs?

PEACE guys ! ! I think sushdmehta has already mentioned that we need to be careful in what we say and more imporatntly how we say it. Hope ALL (irrespective of forum status) will follow that. Lets now concentrate on more constructive comments.sushdmehta wrote:I would suggest that rather than speculating a specific imaginary requirement that has / may have the tendency to create panic / rumour etc. amongst migrants that members should instead make use of statements to the effect "subject to changes in immigration rules in the future".
Has the same effect, with no risk of hangover!
