Guys

I called today at 10:33 AM and got an appointment for ILR at PEO Liverpool office.

Those who applied at Liverpool, how is your experience with the staffs there?

Thanks in advance

Hi All

Say that my UK Tier I visa expires on 1 November 2009.
Can I leave UK on 10 Oct 2009 and come back on 25 Oct 2009 as my UK visa is still valid? Or is there any requirement which says that my UK visa must be valid for min 3 months to enter again?

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations!!! Great news. Really helpful post.

I think, everyone has got different experience...some people are lucky...some are not...I have heard both the positive and negative experience through the word of mouth...there are people from India who got jobs during this recession, some couldn't even for months...there are English people who are ...

I am Indian and got SC and so are there others. For British citizens, it takes less time and for others bit longer from 6 weeks to few months. No specific time frame. Nationality does not guarantee acceptance/rejection but only time frame.

Whatever may be the reason for not processing the ILR appllications until 20th may. But its REALLY FRUSTATING that they are turning the candidates when they turn up for the appointment rather than informing them by phone/post/mail. They are still doing the same thing and turned away my friend when h...

If they fire you, make sure that you take your case to Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal.

Congratulations guys...very useful post.

Sometimes the fight is not for money but for pride.
We can not always necessarily put ourselves into someone else shoes and understand the situation.

Its really important that the employer admit their mistake, come clean etc..not just for the OP but to make sure that other wont face similar problem.

Did you try contacting Employment Tribunal or Citizen Advice Bureau for free advice rather than wasting money on Lawyer?

and frankly if you have to sue an employer to hire you, what kind of work environment do you think you are creating for yourself. It is a no winner no matter how you look at it.

This is a valid point and I was thinking about it as well.

I think you may NOT have case against race discrimination but definitely breach of contract...

I would pursue the matter...

There is a saying "You regret if you don't do but you don't if you do".

Well netacct, Are you telling me, asking me or mocking me? Shame if its the latter as if you have more information, sharing that would have been more useful. I am not mocking you....just asking :) because lots of people including me are confused on this... :? i even send an email to HO asking same ...

Then hardly anyone on HSMP will get ILR in 5 years as most of the HSMP come here without a job and then start searching.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your experience, very helpful.

One question, when did you take your life in UK test?

Its better if you send then copy of your Visa, HSMP/Tier I, Passport etc...

Yes, to be honest even I am confused now... I though online salary slips printed on official letter head which has logo at the top should be fine with no stamps or signature. A signature and stamp is required only if not printed on official letter head with no logo... Anyone who got Tier 1 with onli...

[quote="vagabond4life"] It is interesting to note that the advisers are asking for [b]Nationality[/b] at the start of the call. I guess 'no appoinments' is their standard reply if your nationality is INDIAN. Anyone with similar experience please share here. Thanks[/quote] If that is the case then ca...

Even I was thinking that if the online salary slips are printed on Company Headed paper then you don't need signature or stamp on it...
Any other opinion?

This is really confusing and panic situation...

global gypsy

don't give such advice...HO does some verification and ILR can be revoked at any time...

Say to your employer that you need to apply for tourist visa for some country and ask them to issue standard letter...that might work as well.

You need P60 for the whole 5 year. Could be problem for her as well as her employer as she started working without the new WP approval...Its not allowed...

Its simple...You changed to Tier I because you to want to change the employer...

I did not tell my employer when I changed the visa, my friends did not tell...
everything is fine as long as you have valid visa to work...
