Hello Experts,

Could someone kindly help answering my questions? I'm cutting close on time.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm a director of a Limited Company and I've started working with my 1st client since 01Apr2022. The client would like me to travel to Spain in 4 weeks time for business and would be reimbursing all expenses. I have an ILR here in UK, with an Indian passport. Referring to https://uk.blsspainv...

Thank you very much for your quick response.

Hello experts, I am due to apply for my ILR in September and I'm in process of filling up the Set(O) form. Due to the nature of my job, I was travelling outside UK pretty much every week for 2-3 full days and back in the UK for the rest of the days in the week. If I fill each of these absences in th...

That was a very useful info to make a decision for me. So, if I planned to apply for ILR in Oct2021 post 5 years of being on Tier 2 General visa , the 180 days per year rule would come into picture (not the 540 days rule). In this case, even though I violate the 180 day rule, the employer support le...

A follow up question based on the 540 days rule under Continuous Residence. What I understand is that over the period of 10 years, the applicant should not have been out of UK for more than 540 days. In my case, I may violate this requirement because over the last 4 years, I have travelled a lot out...

CR001,

Thank you very much for your prompt response!

Hello Experts, My case may be a bit complicated (at least for me), and I'm seeking urgent help. Since I've held multiple visas during my tenure in UK, I would like to highlight them in 4 key stages. Stage 1 - 03Sep2012 to 12Jan2014 >> In UK with Tier 2 ICT. Departed from UK on 12Jan2014 due to the c...

Hello, My wife is due for her ILR application (Tier 2 General route). My child has a PBS dependent visa based on my wife's T2 General visa. Since he was born in Apr-2015, he has not completed his 5 years. I am due for my ILR application in October-2021 (on Tier 2 General visa currently). As I unders...

Hello, My spouse has held a Tier 2 General visa since April 2014, before which she held a PBS Dependent Visa for 18 months (based on my Tier 2 ICT). She's had it for 5 years and w.r.t time, she's eligible to apply for an ILR. However, due to circumstances, she had to switch to part-time working rath...

What was her salary before sick leave??

Her salary before sick leave was around 45000 per annum.

Yes, the employers have informed the HO.

"Whose insurance is this??" Her employer's insurance. This pay out reflects in her payslips provided by the company and is around £30,000 per annum. So, if things go well with her health and she lands up working for 2-3 months next year, making her earnings (including the insurance pay out in the pa...

Hello, "If she is no longer sponsored/employed by her Tier 2 employer, her visa should have been curtailed. Has this not happened??" She is still continued to be employed and is on the Income protection insurance pay out (still less than the min pay requirement). Does this pay classify as a valid so...

Hello,

Thanks for your response. With quite some changes to immigration laws, I just wanted to confirm this again. Hence, my question got repeated. Did not mean to spam.

Thanks again for your kind response.

Hello, My wife is on Tier-2 General visa since last 4+ years. She would have been ideally eligible to apply for ILR in May-2019. However, unfortunately, due to her health condition, she has been out of work for around 2 years now and hence may not be meeting the minimum pay (£35,500) requirement by ...

Hello, My visa status in UK till now can be summarised as: Period 1. Tier 2 ICT from Sept-2012 to Feb-2014 Period 2. PBS Dependent from Jun-2014 to Oct-2016 Period 3. Tier 2 General from Oct-2016 onwards till date Does my clock get reset at the beginning of every new Period? If not, can I apply for ...

Hi Geriatrix,
That helps, Thank you very much!

Hi, I have a a new employment opportunity in which I would be having a Tier-2 General visa and most of my work would need to be carried out in other European countries outside UK with a Shengen Work Visa. This would lead me to be out of UK for more than 180 days in a year. Will this affect my ILR ap...

Alright! Thanks again for your quick responses!

Thank you very much for your response! If I opt for going in for the Tier-2 general visa with my new employer, when my spouse obtains the PR, could I not get out of the Tier-2 General visa status and come back as her dependent/family member? If yes, do I have to go through another 5 years as her dep...

Hi, My spouse currently holds a Tier-2 General visa since the last 2 years and I hold a PBS dependent visa. She would most probably get an extension in 2017 and then both of us were planning to apply for ILR/PR in 2019. I have a new employment opportunity in which my employer will process my Tier-2 ...

Hi Manci/all,

Can someone please respond to my query at the earliest?

Thanks!

Hi Manci, My wife has obtained her Tier 2 general visa a couple of weeks back and in the next 3 days, I will be applying for my PBS dependant visa. Based on the supporting documents' reference from the gov.uk site, I plan to submit the following documents: 1. Completed and signed online application ...

Thanks again Manci! I have a follow up question regarding my wife's application. She was my dependent when I was working in UK. When it was time for me to move out of UK, she had to move out with me. She explained this situation to the UKBA using the Change of Circumstances form. In the form, she al...

Hi Manci, Thanks for your prompt response. To be specific, If my employer does not inform the UKBA (since they want to keep my ICT Tier 2 visa active for other probable projects in UK) and under this condition, if I go ahead and apply for a PBS dependent visa: 1. Is there a chance that my PBS depend...
