Siggi, Thank you for your response. I think I'll go through NCS. Just couple of questions: 3) list of dates in and out of the UK Is the list for the child or parent ? I think the MN1 has a section to fill in child's absences as part of the residence requirement. Would child's passport be sufficient ...

Thank you for taking time to read this post. I have a child born in UK before I received ILR. I have recently acquired ILR. Now I want to apply for BC registration for my child. I want to know the documents I need to send along with MN1 form. As per the form guidelines it requires: 1. Child's birth ...

OP has 2 options: 1. Pay herself SMP through her own limited company. The limited company can claim SMP compensation from HMRC later. 2. If OP is paying herself atleast minimum wage while working as a director, she could quit the limited company prior to 15 weeks before the baby is due. This way OP ...

Thank you all for your comments.

Hello, A friend of mine is planning to start a Limited company in UK for IT contracting work. One of the requirement for company formation is that it must have a company secretary. I have following questions regarding the qualification of the person for the company secretary: 1. Does the person have...

Congratulations !!!

I have not started this petition. I came to know about it from a friend of mine.

Hi Guys, Could you take some time to sign this petition asking the govt to reconsider its ludicrous proposal to enforce a 3 month visitors visa + £1000 bond for every overseas visitor. Please note you will have to furnish a working e-mail address, since on completing the petition, you will receive ...

hsmphsmp,

You do not have to wait till FLR expires. You can apply as soon as you qualify for ILR.

Don't worry. It's not a problem.

It's gonna be very difficult due to christmas holidays.

When on WP, the FLR is tied to a specified employer. If it's WP extension, you can continue working with the same employer while FLR is under consideration. However, with a new WP with different employer, FLR must be applied within 6 months AND you cannot start working with the new employer till FLR...

Yes you can.

1. The employment letter does not have to state whether you were working on WP or HSMP. You clarify it in your cover letter for ILR application. The employment letter must state following: a. Duration of the employment (start date to till date) b. Permanent employee c. Annual pay d. Job title e. The...

Don't worry. It's normal.

Only the HO can answer this question.

IMO, immigration officer intended to request for the documents, however certain fields were not populated correctly.

paulp,

As OP mentioned, it's not WP extension but new WP with different employer

1. Can I stay in UK after 18-Nov-07. As am I a overstayer? If your WP is not approved by 18-Nov, you would be a overstayer 2. If my new WP is approved, can I start work ? No. You have to wait till the FLR for your new WP is granted to you. 3. I guess FLR by post takes atleat 6 weeks, so is there a g...

I received the SAR response two days ago. From the documents, I can see that my employer filed for WP extension before the expiry date of my LTR that time. Though the actual WP extension was approved at a later date (almost 3 months after the LTR expiry date), it was considered as continuous stay. I...

If you got business visa stamped on your passport, your previous WP visa have been superseded with business visa. In this case, your earlier stay on WP with Employer1 cannot be counted towards ILR. If your WP visa with Employer2 was stamped in India, that day onwards you were on WP visa again (effec...

MyHSMPApplication, The ILR clock gets reset if you apply for new entry clearance. 1. You did mention that you went to India on 13 August 2005 and got business visa. Did you get the business visa stamped on your passport ? 2. When you switched to employer2, did you get a new entry clearnce (in India)...

I went for ILR last week. I applied in HSMP (2 years) + WP (3 years) category. The caseworker was friendly and patient. She checked the salary statements and bank statements for past one year only (HSMP). She checked the employment letters to ensure continuous employment during WP, didn't ask for th...
