I am in a very similar situation, about to sign a contract for a role that will mean a lot of business travel that WILL take me over the 180 day rule.

Does anybody know if business travel is/isnt part of the overall 180 days limit for ILR purposes?

Share your thoughts please

Dude, read the guidance! All 3 pieces of evidence you provided are considered to have come from 1 source- your employer (yes-including the p60, read about what a p60 actually is!). HO found nothing to corroborate your evidence against. Correct decision by CWorker-for once.

Totally agree & support the views of twon2is7 & manta. Waste of public funds and a nuisance for us. End of.

Section 4.200 from Mac reco is somewhat reassuring- no impact on nos till 2016... Although we'll see how bold Damian really is...

Same situation here-employed by a uk company, taxes paid in the uk, working on an assignment abroad... surely this must be allowed under T1G...? Any thoughts?

Why did u tell them that you'd moved a year earlier? Should have have just said you did it a week ago!
Anyhow, no is the answer- it bears no concequences whatsoever! Chill

Same here- submitted 52 of them. As long as all else adds up this isn't a big deal.

No, why would they???

Too f...ing right!!! Maybe it will be less of a challenge to communicate in some less desirable parts of London! No wonder "white british" ethnic group is set to become a minority by 2060. I would hate to see the stupid human rights convention mess things up again! IMHO. The message is simple- learn...

1. Easy, first time i logged in, but i went for cardiff despite living in london.
2. Whatever the nr of points necessary for under 27 yo under the rules in place in 2008
3 & 4. Will need to obviousoy score the same as above or more (unless the start fiddling with the rules again!)

Hope this helps.

Yep- id rather do this then having to put up with the risks of applying at the very end of the granted period of leave...

Just indicate in the form that the proof (as in Ur Master's degree) was submitted during ut initial T1G....

dude, they dont even look at it! Chill

Cant tell without seeing them... I would also get them sign them & also mention that they do not have a stamp. That should do it. Also you could ask them to print them out on your company's letterheaded paper.

Yep, in case ure getting them online. If they are prpper ones on official stationary then that's not needed.

I feel this might snowball into one of those 1 billion page threads if we are not careful- CALL FOR SUSH!!

I understand... 2 things to note here: 1. The consultation is dedicated to evaluation of the impact of removing the link between temporary working & settlement for applicants within the work-related PBS routes entering the system after april 2011. 2. So far I have not seen any comments from the "God...

Docs:

-Payslips (Online payroll -signed & stamped)
-Bank Sts
-Savings acc bank sts

Nothing else!

current visa- Nov 2011
new- June 2013

so 2 years from the date of the decision.

Hope it helps.

Hi Chaps, why are we again talking about the potential limit on the number of extensions?? Where does this information come from? As far as I understand there has been nothing to suggest that they will! Please quote some specific sources in case you have a different opinion, or otherwise stop spread...

Where did you see that please??

Not sure abt Q2, but regarding your Q1- you can not include redundancy pay out into your earnings (have a look in PG, i am sure I saw it there somewhere..)

Hi all, Just got back from Cardiff from my PEO app. What a pleasant experience that was- none of the chaps ever asked a single question, just looked at the docs briefly and sent me to kill off some time while they do all they needed to do. They mentioned that they might need 2 to 4 hours... With tha...

Just a letter from HO saying that ur case is under consideration! For as long as tyat remains the case the conditions of your current leave to remain apply!

So, apply by post whenever u qualify upto & incl. the 17th of Sept!

Muchas gracias!

Mulderpf & moonlight got it right

Hi all, I live in London but obviously getting a slot in Croydon is near impossible. Instead I managed to snatch a slot in Cardiff which happens to be only 20mins further away in terms of the journey for me than Croydon. Are there any rules restricting applicants to their local centres...? Thanks in...
