For years I have seen the same posting by many people; Some Indian companies tend to send people to the UK pay them in india their salary and provide them with housing and food in the uk. They are manipulating the system and 'dumping' services int he UK. That's why many employees of indian companies...
Hello, I got my citizenship approval letter during the weekend; it has been a long journey started back in 2002; got caught in the 4-5 manipulation.....but it's all in the past, now the future awaits, no more visas (compared to what I needed before) and less suspicion when entering a foreign country...
Hello, Yes, If the information you provide is correct then she got the new work permit within the 28 days (almost). The gap in employment is not as problematic as the gap in entry clearance, in her case there is no major issue with the visa/entry clearance as she got the new work permit almost withi...
The 4 to 5 judicial review was lost; there is no reason for the Home Office to accept an ILR after 4 years as they have a successful defense against the judicial review.....legally they don't have to accept ILR applications after 4 years (logic is another thing....anyway)
pieterkley, Your question lacks some important data to help people with understanding your situation. Would it be safe to assume that the WP holder has started to work for the new employer ? he must change the EC on the passport as soon as possible; technically, the existing stamp on the passport is...
UK economy is 18 months behind the US; there are it jobs, they don't specifically need uk experience for many coding roles.... locals would have an advantage anyway. Do you need a visa? that would be another issue for you..... go to google and look for roles.... A few months ago I posted a descripti...
Is there a limit on the number of attempts to pass this test? No limits, just the cost and time invested.... and does it affect your current immig status if you fail the test? No, however you need to consider that without passing the test you will not get ILR/nationality.....so, you would need to r...
Chloe, You had a student visa on August 2003 for three months until Nov 2003. Then 9th of February 2004 you registered as a "self employed person".....I'm not familiar with this visa..what nationality are you?? (EU?) From feb 05 to feb 08 you had a Residence permit based on what? being a student? Wh...
Chloe: - There are some immigration cathegories that allow you to apply for permanent residency after 5 years (Work permit, HSMP, Tier 1, Tier 2, investor). - Some immigration cathegories allow you to apply for permanent residency after 3 years (or two)....if you are married to a UK citizen - Once y...
Nida, If a child was born in the UK and one of the parents gains ILR afterwards, then the child can be registered for british nationality. You can download the form from the HO site; the problem you may face is that you need to prove that your husband got ILR.....clearly your lawyer is not providing...
jemini32, Any feedback would be easier to provide if you give a detailed description of visas held and dates of validity. From the info you provided it seems you don't have any claim at ILR; students can only apply for ILR after 10 years legal stay (for now, this may disapear, you never know what wo...
get legal advise; document the situation and prepare to claim damages against the employer.....legally you are not allowed to be in the country, you are an overstayer and you are in a difficult situation, find legal advise on how to normalize your situation (maybe the graduated scheme).....and also,...
When you mention about invalidate my workpermit, do i need to travel out of the country and come back again, once i get my workpermit?. No, the new EC (tier-1) will invalidate/cancel the previous one (WP) In any case, is it fine to inform my employer about the tier-1 after i get the tier-1 visa?. Y...
a) i get tier-1 and travel out of UK b) donot inform my employer abt the change in EC from work permit to tier-1?. c) return to uk and get stamped based on tier-1?. ... You get the Tier-1 EC on your passport (invalidating the WP), leave the Uk for a few days, return to UK, entry stamped on your tier...
SAPIENT, Your WP - Entry Clearance is valid until it expires OR until you cease employment with the sponsor OR until you change the EC OR until you break the conditions of the WP (changing duties or working for someone else....etc). Your tier-1 application and approval is independent from the WP, yo...
vivekR, It is a good approach to help you protect the family from uncertainty. You can keep your WP until reaching ILR, by then, as long as your dependants have been living legally in the UK and you can prove that you have been toghether for the past five years (two?) then they can be added to your ...
Maff257; please provide details on the visas she held; if she has been legally for 10 years she can apply for ILR; if she has been working (with a work permit) for 7 years she can apply for ILR.....so, please provide details on the type of visa and sequence and we can suggest alternatives.. If she o...
He is not complying with the requirements set out by the UK immigration and the WP issued to the employer. This is clearly manipulation of the system on the part of the employer and lack of knowledge in the part of the employee. He can not apply for the ILR as he hasn't been working as per the WP co...
BSI, I'm going to try and help you again, please provide detailed cronological descriptions of the visas you hold. For example: - 1st March 2003 Student visa for english clases, validity 2 years - 23rd June 2003 Work Permit validity 5 years That is the type of information you must provide in order t...
awayfrmhm As Wanderer mentioned, you are breaking immigration law, you are illegally working in this country and I doubt you will be allowed to stay 5 years under the current WP. The HO is changing the whole model as we speak and employers will be required to register with HO and provide more inform...
