We don't know what the rules are going to be on July 2011 so just have to wait for official announcments and information from the UKBA and HO in the coming months. All other information at this stage would be speculation. Hello Backer, Do you know of any news of the July 2011 change of rulings ...

Thank you Jimmy. That clarifies the point.

If you read the form carefully, you'll know the answer. Alternatively, see Latest Set (O) - Conflicting language for Bachelor's Degree . Thank you for taking time and responding to my query. But I am still confused. Do I get the 30 points or I dont? In the link you mention that if some one got the ...

Hello friends, I wanted to know if I would be eligible for ILR under the new rules for this year. Just curious as to which one date should I use as "last grant of entry to clearance". I got my Tier 1 general stamping of 20 April 2009 and I have been earlier on a employee sponsored work permit. Since ...

No. If she is a dependent visa on your work permit, then she can apply the ILR at the same time with you.

Thank you Backer for the clarification..... I have one more question on this, my wife's passport stamp has a later date than mine as she migrated to the UK a couple of months later. Does this mean I should apply for Probationary Citizenship / ILR after she completed her five years in UK or as I am ...

Thank you John and Backer. One further question I have, is there a date when the new probational citizenship rule is supposed to be firemed up by? I suppose the terms and requirements for ILR and Probatinary citizenship are similar arent they? 5 years in your case means Sep 2011 which is when the ...

I have arrived in the UK on a work permit (by my company) in September 2006. Since then I have switched from work permit based visa to Tier 1. I would like to know if I am eligible to apply for the ILR in the original 4 years from date of first entry to UK or will it be different case? Does the ...

Hello friends, I have question on what the maximum time limit is for work related (no choice of denying the trip) traveling outside UK if one is on Tier 1 General and is aiming to apply for ILR at the end of 5 years? I know this would be a popular question but with the recent changes in terms of ...

Hi freinds, I am getting my documents ready to apply for Tier 1. I have filled up my details on the self assessment site and have got enough points to get approval. Now one thing occured to me when I was filling up the self assessment form on the HO website. The institute where I did my education ...

Hi John, WoodieG, Christopher, Thank you for all the clarifications. This forum has helped me a lot during this crucial period. now I am all set with the visa/wp. Will have my tickets does in a couple of days. Then its all packing and travel. Any idea on how I can get a shared accomodation in London ...

Hi Guys, Thanks a lot for all the right information. My passport as well as my wifes came back with a stamping for 5 years in a flat 4 days (including courier time) from the Deputy High Comission's office. All set and I guess now it looks like we will finally be travelling to London. One further ...

Hi Nicholas,

Is YHA available to people who are not registered to them, like myself? I did find YHA in my google search as well but was worried whether they provide accomodation for more than a few weeks. Any body has any experience with YHA that they can share for my benifit?

Warm regards,
Amit

Hi team, My work permit has come through. Its for a period of 5 years. We shall now be going for our visa interview. I am still worried about my wifes name which has been misspelled in our marriage certificate. I got a affidavid done at a court here in India with respect to the fact that both the ...

Hi John,

Any pointers for me?

Amit

Hi John, Yes her name in the passport and the marriage certificate differ by a single 'E'. I have not yet initiated my wifes dependent visa. Will start the process this week. Thus the worry. Thanks for the information. Do let me know if you know any website or document available which can help me ...

Hi,

Can someone please help me with a response to my urgent query? I am having sleepless nights right now. Please help.

Regards,
Monty

Hi There,

Does any one have a clue of what could happen, I am kind of worried for this fact. Please let me know whether this is a point of concern right now.

Regards,
Monty

Hi Team, I have another doubt, would require information on the same. As I have mentined earlier I will be going on a Business & Commerce work permit to UK soon. One possible problem that I forsee is that my wifes name has been mis-spelled on her School certificate. This certificate is the base for ...

Hi Guys, I have accepted the offer from a organization in London. :) I will be moving there very soon with my spouse. I will be there on a Business and Commerce Visa. I was told that this visa would allow my wife also to work. I am not sure about it, can some one confirm the same. :? Also what is ...

First of all thank you 'toby' and 'jes2jes' for replying to my query. Your replies have encouraged my decision making in favour of the UK job option. I was under the influence that 40-45K was too less for London. As 'toby' says 430-500 GBP per month rent for a Studio / 1BHK looks affordable to me ...

Hi friends, I am moving to London on a job. I am getting a offer from a Big4 counsulting firm based in London. I am expecting to get something like 45k-50K basic + Benifits + Bonus annual. Do you guys think this is a good salary to get in London? Can someone give me pointers as to the cost of rental ...
