Cool man. Your case is moving pretty fast then! I am still waiting for the letter. I keep checking my bank account every 10 minutes but there is no deduction yet.
Never thought I would be so happy to see £750 going away from my account!
Sorry guys I dont mean to hijack this post but reading this thread kinda scared me. I was in the last batch back in 2006 who got his approval before the HSMP scheme was suspended. My HSMP approval letter is dated 31st August 2006. My HSMP application was made under the old rules and was judged under...
Hey All I am one of those who fall under the recent HSMP judicial review. I am now applying for my visa extension (3 year). As I understand my application would be judged under the rules that were in place in 2006. My queries are simple 1. Do I have to include documents proving that I have been marr...
Ok Ok, attack was too strong of a word, but you were miffed and that was clear, my only point is that it didn't make sense so he said perhaps a bit exasperated how did you come up with your cousin giving you settled status as it was indeed out of left field. Lol..no worries. Lets kill that thing no...
Thanks olisun. I did exactly that today and it seems I was right all along. There are potential ways around the "settled" clause. thanks for all your help everyone, as a small suggestion, please do try and keep an open mind some times. :) What potential ways did you find around the settled clause. ...
What I am aiming to find out here is if there could be certain other conditions which when put together might put an individual under this "settled" category and hence give the child a BC? If you still haven't got your answer or still not convinced then I would suggest that you contact a immigratio...
Well to me your post did sound rude and hence my reply. As for your view on this matter I would like to say that you are missing the point altogether. Yes I agree with you on what you are saying but if you were to please try and take a broader perspective of things for once you might probably see wh...
Hi all I am on HSMP now in the UK. I am married and my wife has been with me in the UK as well for more than an year now. She got her dependant visa after I got my HSMP visa sorted out. I wanted to know if we have a child in the UK, is there any way of making that child a british citizen? According...

Hi Wanderer alf1977! thanks for the replies guys. Wanderer I do agree with you on that. I recently met a friend of mine who contracts for investment banks and he mentioned that if I can get a perm job offer of 80-90k base I should consider that seriously. Actually I do have an option where a firm is...
Hi I recently obtained my HSMP visa and now I want to start contracting in the UK. I am an IT consultant. I have read through various posts and guides but I am not sure how to start. Can anyone here please tell me 1. What is the difference between an Ubmrella company and a Ltd. Company and which one...

oneway I do not really see any pattern in here. HO seems all messed up and seems to work very random. There is absolutely no gurantee when your app would be picked up and processed. All you can do is hope and pray lol! Oh and mine is an In Country applicatio anyways :-) Congrats lanwarrior, finally ...
with regard to the big debate - well i have worked in india, US and now Uk. While UK is not the best and all the stuff said about H1 is indeed true, trust me on this that conditions in India are worst. I can go on and on about India and how people in government office will openly ask u for bribe (ha...
