Perfect thanks a lot manci So we don't have a ponsor license yet, we have hired a company to go through the appllication as we are all too busy to do it ourselves (we tried but it was too much paper work). What's weird is that the company mentioned it might not be possible because our field ...

Hi All It's been many years since I last visited this brilliant forum, it helped me in the past I hope it's still going strong. I work for an established company (10 years old) we're a small IT company (around 12 in total) There are two very clever young computer nerds that I would like to sponsor ...

I didn't understand your post entirely, he know he had to register with the police and he had registered but he forgot to enclose the registration certificate. his application was invalid, all other documents are complete and he is eligible for extension, but by the time he received his application ...

Anyone please? do you think there's anyhope? he's so hopeless he's packing his stuff now!

A friend of mine applied for extension under tier 1 (he had HSMP for 2 years), he applied but forgot to enclose the police registration certificate. He sent his application before his hsmp leave expired. It took them three weeks to send back the rejection letter saying he didn't enclose police ...

You're not supposed to study full time with a tier-1 visa, you can only do part time. You might get away doing full time on tier 1 but I don't see a good reason to take the risk.

How reliable is that informations? you don't just abandon the whole idea if some friend told you that, better sending an email to home office describing your issue without saying names, I don't personally think that having h1b visa means you can't get naturalisation given that you didn't exceed the ...

Can't you switch into some other visa?
Do you earn enough to be eligible for Tier1 visa?
If you arrange to switch into any other visa and stay until 2010 you may be able to get indefinite leave to remain based on 10 years legal stay. (if they don't change the rules by then).

Good luck.

aha.. Here we go again Best two parts were: April - start charging migrants to create a multimillion pound fund to reduce the impacts of migration on local services; And tighten new criteria against which highly skilled migrants seeking entry to the United Kingdom are judged, by raising the ...

Can't see they have listed tier1 as one of the possible visas for one day service. I think you might misunderstood them.

Can they not go to 3rd country e.g Dubai on their Middle East passport and than use their Bitish passports to fly to UK. Many thanks to all who replied. This is a possible solution although it would mean more hassle and there's a risk of the missing stamps. As it would be obvious on their passports ...

They are from the Middle East.
Their father is a diplomatic personnel, he is not allowed to marry a foreign national, so they can't really use their british passports as long as he is in this job.

What would happen if they apply for a visa?

My two little nieces-in-law (9 and 11 years old) want to visit us in the UK. They have two nationalities one is british by descendent from their mother side and they have british passports, however, for some reason related to their father's job they can't use their british passports for time being ...

He certainly can apply and get approved but he won't be able to work as a "Doctor in training" i.e. he won't be able to take training posts and will be limited to trust/staff grade posts, He would be able to apply for training jobs after he gets his ILR and that's after two years from getting his ...

Cheated the system? I don't think the same, that CW did not cheat the system, he/she was a reasonable person who realised I wouldn't be able to get original or stamped statement in less than 7 days from UK since I don't live there. I have provided two months of stamped statement to verify that my ...

A print out of my online banking worked fine so maybe they're not very strict regarding having original statement for the last couple of weeks which makes sense

I and my wife have applied for my EC I didn't provide up to date statement, instead i have provided STAMPED statement for two months (i got this stamped while I was visiting the uk cause my bank account is in UK) and for third month i provided a print out of my online banking, plain A4 paper that I ...

Thanks for your reply,
Can you refer to the source please so i make sure?

I'm about to apply for my EC after getting my HSMP approval letter. I have some question that i hope someone would be able to answer: 1. Will I get 3 years or 2 years visa? 2. I'll start a part time Masters course in the UK soon, can I use this for extra points when I want to extend? Many thanks in ...

is this mandatory in all countries? I've noticed this is the case in India, are all other countries the same?
It would be impossible to me to get such a statement in less than a week since my statments are posted to a UK address.

I'm very happy, my very complicated, genuine application got approved today as I have been told on the phone. I have applied as an independent contractor, my application was so weak in my eyes, so many reasons for that and I'll list the major ones: 1. I was working from my country over the internet ...

Much thanks for the link, there's still one answer I couldn't a defintie answer, would years spent studying an undergraduate course counts towards the 8 years clock? It does say 'normal residency' but doesn't tell exactly what type.


Many thanks
