In addition, you are required to be in the country for at least 5 business days after the applictaion is submitted. In that case you might have a problem because there is no discretion with the 5 year rule. Why do you think I might have a issue on the 5 business days one ? Say if I apply with a app...

Agree with you with the point to avoid risk , I can wait for two more months but would prefer to have it done as soon as possible given the uncertainities on these rules in the current scenario. Having looked at the discretion para on the website again , it says "You must be free from immigration ti...

krishna186, What you posted is correct but not relevant. There is no link between the requirment of being free for 12 months from immigration restrictions and the 5 year (or 3 year as a spouse) presence requirement. As advised before there is no room for discretion over this. see below: Residential...

How about this ?? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/naturalisation/immigrationtimerestrictions/ Refer to bullet three as below "the time restriction was in place for less than 10 days at the beginning of the 12 month period; " so techincally , we should be able to use ...

Hi Deep, I would be able to get a letter from employer stating the day of entry into UK ( in 2005 ) and my current annual Salary and also stating that I would be needed in the UK for next 12 months as well. I have requested HMRC fo my Tax Summary for last four years as well. I hope I would be covere...

Thank you all. I shall try to get p60 signed by HR and also seek to get a HMRC letter with my NI details.

Cheers,

Hi All, Appreciate if you can help me . I am with a Indian Software house working in the UK since 2005 on work permit till May 2008 and moved to Tier -1 from May2008 valid till May 2011. I am due for my ILR later part of this year . But the issue is my employer issues me only a P60 scanned copy by e...

Hi, I was a single work permit since Nov 1997 to Sep 2004 with extensions applied in UK many a times . Please note that I came on 6 month WP to start and have extended later many a times . I should have applied for ILR then , but did not do so. I had to leave UK back to my home country in Sep 2004 a...

This question has been raised quite a few times here. It's 45 days on average per year. During the days when you needed to complete 4 years to be eligible for an ILR, that worked out to a max of 180 days over 4 years. Now that the requirement has been increased to 5 years (with the exception of the...

I would like to know the procedures / application / fee details for Tier1 dependant registration with police. Thanks in advance. If u have to register you must; 1. Go to nearest police station that registers foreigners - not all do - ours was 12 miles away. Take a couple of passport photos and the ...

For ILR , Do we need to produce all teh five years P60's ? Or only for ther period since the last time you had a visa extension or change of type of work visa for example from WP to TIER 1 ?

Also my employer provides me with a soft copy of P60 ? Would that suffice for ILR ?

Regards,

All, I am currently on TIER1 and would like to probably consider options to do my Executive MBA ( part time ) . Do I need a seperate visa or permission from HO for this ? Also I have been in the UK since Sep 2005 on WP and moved to TIER1 in May 2008 . Will I need to be paying international fees or b...

Does this cover for TIER1 to ILR premium applications ???

As per my understanding ...Once you are on Tier 1 means you are a resident in UK for tax purposes so you have to pay full taxes here in UK. UK became your primary home after Tier 1. Thats what you declare in your Tier 1 app..!! UK should be your main home and allowances mean you are not paying righ...

Thanks for everyones support on this forum. I got my ILR/PR Granted in 1 Day (Premium Service) under long residence (10 year category). Of course applied through a lawyer (worth the pay) No hassles, Straight forward. Regards, is there premier service for long residence category ? I was of the opini...

Thanks. I do get a P60 and tax retunr form from my comany every year.But my question was only the tax code change due to me moving to TIER1 . Can someone throw somelight on this esp anyone who are in the same situation like mine ( deputed to UK from India and Indian salary paid into Indian bank acco...

All, I have moved to TIER1 visa last year and prior to that I was on a work permit from an Indian large software company and on deputation. Since my move to TIER1 , I have passed my visa details to my company and am continuing to work for the same company. Whilst on deputation my company pays me all...

Hi Coolwp,

Since you were in UK since last 18 months , you cannot uplift your Indian Salary . PLease read through the guidance note for Tier 1 in detail .

Agent can help but will not increase your chances ... as it is another 700 or so to get an agent apart from HO fees .

Cheers,
