That was not my point. My point was where does such law provides that as long as one of the joint claimants provides a NINO, then the other is not so required to provide one, as long as they have never been issued with one?

can i claim a child tax credit Well no, but you and your wife jointly can! The lack of NI for your wife does not prevent a claim being made, but the Tax Credits office may say otherwise, but they would be wrong. The legislation was changed a few years ago. There has been advise on this forum that t...

But a more general point, the law about needing to provide a NINO when applying for Tax Credits changed 2 or 3 years ago. Now, as long as one of the joint claimants provides a NINO, then the other is not so required to provide one, as long as they have never been issued with one. I find it incredib...

If your employer does not confirm that you are still needed for the same work and that your employment with them is continuing, then your ILR is likely to be refused. As alanwong said above, you need to convince your employer why the letter is needed.

I can assure you 100% that it will not be a problem. The reason they ask for bank statement is not to see how much money you have in the account. They ask for bank statement in order to see that the salary stated on the employer letter and on the wage slip corresponds with the one paid by your emplo...

Yes you have to show your income as per new rules on SOC codes. For old work permit holders, this issue is confusing. The old code provided that “Applicants who are currently working in the UK (either for you or for a different employer) under Tier 2 (General), Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) or a ...

The advice you have been given is correct. If your first application was make out-of-country, then so long as you first entered the UK within 3 months of EC, then you will be eligible to apply for ILR from upto 28 days before the 5th anniversary from 27/07/2009. Thanks for shedding some lights on t...

The guidance says not apply more than 28 days before the end of the qualifying period and if you do, they may refuse the application with no refund of the fee. However, you must apply before your current permission to stay in the UK ends. I was granted a five year visa work permit on 20/05/2008 The ...

Thanks Kevin24. If Job title matches and salary condition satisfy but employer had not mentioned SOC code in letter would that Suffice? No! SOC Code really matter. And you should be paid above the salary mentioned in your SOC code. Because your job has to fall under a SOC code or the nearest match....

Head something like this last year, but I am not sure if it has been implemented.

Guys, Pls have a look at the following determination. http://www.ait.gov.uk/Public/Unreported/IA203562008.doc There is a clear argument where the HO tried to argue that no new evidence should be allowed to be introduced at the hearing date other than that submitted with the original application, an...

How about leaving through a small airport to Ireland (Dublin) and connect from there? Do they do random checks to people flying to Ireland?. Do Irish immgration officials stamp passport of people who are on transist?

Just a quck question but very tricky. Normally, when is person is given 28 days to leave the country when when his application for leave to remain is refused. When effectively does he becomes an overstayer? Is from the date when his application was refused or after the 28 days he was asked to leave ...

Normally they do not consider your immmigration history when applying for HSMP or work permit. That is why she got them. Her worry is that they might refuse entry clearance because of her overstay.
