Hi All, I'm not sure how many users on the board use IRIS at UK border control. Its a quick way for business travellers to cut immigration queues through the automatic barriers. There is a plan to have this decommissioned by the end of the year. There is a petition out there to keep this alive. if t...

If you look at the link

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... 1/general/

it says that it is closed from applicants from abroad. It does NOT say now that its closed to in country applications too.

Is it that the website has not been updated?

Tier 1 (PSW) cannot be "renewed or extended". For "self-employed" Tier 1 (PSW) migrants, it is clear that being self-employed is not longer a career that they can pursue if Tier 2 is the only viable option for them to continue living in the UK. If a self-employed Tier 1 (PSW) is rich enough, he/she...

Hi
Just wondering what the options for those who are self employed on PSW - Typically IT Contractors.

Needless to say there must be a lot of folks on the PSW and self employed due for renewal but unsure of what the options are as the T1 General is now closed.

Hi I learned from a Public Request for Information website that transitional rules for PSW to other schemes are still underway as of 26 Jan 2011 as disclosed by the home office. Basically as of now it seems that only tier 2 is the option which may change if there are any changes to allow PSW to swit...

Hi I have been thru the NCS. what they ask is if you have had more than 1 PCN in the last 12 months. As per the guidelines, any PCN or points not awarded in court need not be declared on the application Also, I believe the only serious codes are DR for drunk/drug driving which need to be declared on...

Hello,

Does one need to be economically active/employed while making an ILR application [Edit: Tier 1]. Is it ok if only the dependent is employed and not the main applicant?
Many thanks

Hello
I finally have had my ILR granted after a series of questions and letters from previous employers being supplied that i indeed travelled genuinely on business.
So much for 10 days !!!

PS: PEO Croydon.

Did not have a business absence letter as it was too long ago. I went to the croydon peo. I had to list all absences and it stood out straight away. i have asked for discretion to be applied. i nkow of ppl where weekends were disregarded. Im hoping it will be overlooking. ur right abt the bad luck :)

Hi, I applied for ILR thru the Premium Service. They were unable to make a decision on the same day bcos i had a break of 3 months 8 days (total in 4 years - 160 days), 3 years ago. I had explained this gap in my coverletter as being away partlyon business. They said it was a valid application and n...

its ment for applications made before but approved on the basis of that application. so in your case it may not apply as your sucessful application was based on an application made after 3 april 06

thanks
