I understand that.But for the 5years preceding does type of visa matter as applying early for ILR has meant that I am 4 weeks short on the HSMP

for the purpose of naturalisation, does it matter what type of visa one has been on during the residence qualifying period as long as it is a legal stay and is followed by one year ILR?

Hi All,

as one can apply for ILR within the last month the 5yr period(Points Based), what is the earliest one can apply for naturalisation?Can it be as soon as the 1 year of ILR is up?I was on a work visa prior to HSMP that did not contribute towards iLR

Thanks

Dear immigration gurus, I need to prepare my ILR documentation for PEO and have a question on bank statements. I am with HSBC so as we all aware that they don't stamp and sign off the statements. One of my bank statements is on their letterhead with my name, account number, date etc. but no ...

Thanks every one ESP. Moderators for keeping this forum running- the collective experience and guidance has been a great help to me and others too. My turn to contribute to this now.My case was post JR HSMP and Tier one General.Due to the time lines I think many more in my situation will be applying ...

Set O guidance-Pg 4 2nd column. That paragraph states that those are the requirements for people on tier 2 (gen) , tier 2 (ict) and wp according to the amended rules since 31 Oct 2011......Thats how I understand atleast.. And you are on tier 1 (gen)..ryt? I am on Tier1. The paragraph is listed ...

Very Odd.Any benefits you may have claimed?
But is she said it was a straightforward case then I would be optimistic.

so you should be fine... where does it say 'not older than a calendar month' for tier 1 to ILR apps?[/quote] Set O guidance-Pg 4 2nd column. Krsubu, I am not saying 1st jan to 31st jan(assuming its a typo and you meant the latter was2012) as that would be 13 months. Why don't you work backwards from ...

read page 26 of the link provided by sushdmehta.. that says you dont need 12 payslips if you can score points with less number. the only slight confusing statement is 'consecutive' months payslips... not sure whether it will be an issue if the missing payslip is one in between the first and last ...

Krsubu, the guidance clearly states any 12 continuous month period with the immediate preceeding 15 months.

Thanks Sushd and Abhijack.The pay slip is at the beginning so I can start counting after that one.
What about needing payslips and bank statements not older than a calendar month.This can be a pain give different timelines for applications and wages etc.

Hi, I shall be applying for ILR through PEO next week-PBS(Tier 1 General) 1.Do I need to show all 12 payslips as I have mislaid one and it is too late to get another one now.(I meet the points criteria even if I don't use this particular payslip, so that's not an issue). 2. The Set O form was ...

Thankyou for the quick reply.I suppose the next question for me is if my application is suitable for a PEO application or does it need decision by a senior official meaning I should apply by post?
Any views please?
