Hey Guys, Thanks for your replies, I should have specified my application type as Tier 1 General. Fortunately my being out of contract didnt prove to be a problem. My application was successful and my new BRP card is on its way. It was fairly straight forward. I went to Cardiff PEO(my appointment wa...

Hi Guys, There is a question in the ILR application form, "Are you working in the UK?" . In my case, my contract finished in Jan and am searching for a new contract. I am going to apply for ILR on friday and wanted to know what should i tick for this question, "Yes" or "No". Any help will be much ap...

Hi Guys, Practically been through HELL, thanks to UKBA. Horrible service for the small fortune we have to pay to just get a visa extension. My suggestion to ones who want to apply for extension, please do opt for Personal Session if possible. The amount of mental trauma UKBA has caused is unexplaina...

Congrats Kannan, I know how you feel, let us know about the status of your credit history, hopefully if you intend to get an ILR it should not be in the way.

Thanks a lot krazydude, i am going to send it by post. So hopefully it should be hassle free. Will post my experience.

Thanks,
Naveen.

Hi All, I know that I have to search before posting any question here. I did search and found a lot of information about renewal of Passport. I have one small query regarding the same. For renewal of my 'desi' passport, I have to sumit the following docs: -Existing passport (due to expire)(Mandatory...

Hi guys, I entered UK through HSMP in Jan 2008. My visa is extended till Dec 2012. So can i apply for ILR in Dec 2012, even though i will be falling short by 1 month of my 5 year period? In case I have to apply for extension, will I have to again go through the points system? Thanks for your time. E...

its enough if you book it for 2 weeks and I suggest you book a youth hostel as it might be cheaper than booking a hotel. Also check with their cancelaation policies.

Hi All,

Slightly offtopic question. I have heard that using my HSMP visa I can visit certain coutries outside mainland UK, without a visa. Is it true?? For Example, to visit British Virgin Islands do i need a visa???

Thanks,
Naveen.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea regarding proposed fee hike for HSMP from current 315GBP to 400GBP??If so please let us know.

Regards,
Naveen.

I dont think BE from VTU requires any NARIC certification. And even i got the same letter from VTU regarding language requirements.

Hi Guys,

I strongly suggest applying on your own. Y-Axis, Bangalore is absolutely of no use, they delay your application unnecessarily. Even if you go for them, dont give them entire amount, go for installment option. So that u can give them money once u get the approval.

All the best,
Naveen.

Hi all, Check out todays TOI, there is an article about the plight of HSMP migrants. Here is the article: Indians to sue UK for dearly beloved rules 30,000 Workers Lured In ’02, But Law Changed In 2006 Rashmee Roshan Lall | TNN London: An estimated 30,000 Indians, who left their country to work in B...

With due respect to all the members, this is one funny thread. Its good to come across such "entertaining" threads after going through lot of serious posts. But i agree with what Mr.Maninder has said, its important to closely look at the -ves more than +ves before going out for a new venture. U migh...

@umeshsethi:
I do have a DL, but even on that the the initials are not expanded.
Isn't a notary copy stating that my full name is 'this and this' not enough??

Hi John, The certificate is issued in India, the problem is that here in India, names are not given to the children as soon as they are born(atleast in case of Hindus, i guess). But yes, as u guessed, it does have my parents name and the birth date. So i guess i should get a certificate from a notar...
