No worries good luck!!

Reagrding the P60 and P45, i would say it depends. The P60 is there to show economic activity inline with the HSMP/Tier 1 min criteria. To see if your income has been more than 19000GBP which was the lowest point slab i think. ANyway, it also depends whether this missing P45 is before or after you c...

How exactly does the case worker calculate your absences from the UK? I just realized there're only stamps for entering but not leaving the UK on my passport. So it seems to me you have to rely on the entering stamp to another country to calculate the absences. But what if that stamp is not done pr...

Many thanks to everyone here for the help. It feels great that there are no more hoops to jump through. My case is as follows. WP->HSMP->Tier1 Appointment was at 3:30pm. Parking is right opposite at the NCP Whitgift Parking. Two minute walk. Got there at 3, security and Payment finished at 15:19hrs....

Thanks tvn_Ramesh.. 1. Yes Photos will be less than 1 month old. 2. I still trying to find the original pay slips, but the letter just summarises the info easily as well. So I might go along with all three. No harm done, specially as it is an In-person application 3. Oh I thought it was £800 per mo...

Hi guys, it has been 2 yrs already and I am back to the boards for some advice. I am going ahead with my application for the Tier 1 visa under the PBS. I already have an HSMP which expires Mar 2010. I have a date for Dec 2009 for an in-person application. My application pack includes. 1. Application...

looks like its a tough question then!! I realise these are still initial stages of the Tier 1 but any1 with any thoughts or opinions would be great!!

Hi, Thanks to this forum, I got my HSMp stamped for 2 yrs just 1 month b4 tier1 came to the UK. In hindsight, I would have qualified for Tier1 as well, and would have got 3yr stay. I have already finished 2 yrs on a WP previous to this, and this would have given me a clear path to ILR!! Now I want t...

Hey, was it 3yrs FLR for initial application or where you extending your HSMP, ie 2+3?

Regards

I doubt if the 2month out, and your HSMP visa is invalid, is a rule. Any one else have any clue on this hidden rule!!

If you do the points calculator from the Bia website, apparently the Masters degree from a UK university (or atleast from where I did mine) came up as saying our records show your qualification is acceptable for English language requirements!! But please dont take this as a rule, always check it fro...

I would advise everyone to get the chest Xray done. Both times I have come from home, they have asked me for the Xray, and I dont work in the food industry. Luckily I had my Xray with me the frist time round, and the second time round I explained to them that I had only been out of the country for a...

will it be possible to switch from an HSMp (only intial approval and 1st FLR) to a PBS Tier 1 (make a new application effectively)? Dont really like transitional arrangements and things like that.

Thats great info. But do you think it will be possible to reapply under PBS tier 1 after getting HSMP initial approval. BAsically where I am coming from is that currently initial FLR is for 2 yrs, where as with PBS it will be 3 yrs (so everyone says). I am just wondering if I get FLR (HSMP) now, can...

My apologies, i meant it would be 3+2 (npot 3+3) in PBS rather than 2+3. In any case giving an initial FLR of 3 yrs.

Hey, Just a quick one to scratch everyones head and speculate a lil bit. I got my HSMP approval in Dec07, and its valid till May 08. I am currently on a WP which is valid for a year more. I will complete 2 yrs on a WP in Mar 08. Now the following possibilities are 1. I try and apply in Apr 08, and h...

Leeds is good. But again there is an underlying anti asian feel there due to the huge asian population in Leeds and Bradford. I mean I started my UK life there and I think it might have been the wrong decision. But again depends on how much you want to segregate with the native population. One thing...

This is a brilliant thread!!! I guess i have a very high interest in this cause I just got my HSMP approval today. Thanks everyone for your support and help. I guess the joy and happiness is quadrupled by the fact that I did it own my own with help from people who had their heart in helping others. ...

Hi, My application goes out tomorrow. Just thought I'd double check on whether my documents can go by Royail mail signed for special delivery? If yes, should I send it to the courier address (as a human being is required to sign it)? Also as its an incountry application I hope they send it back by R...

yes you can use your existing mobile.

Try looking at hostels then on a nightly basis, hostelworld or hostelbooking.com or something. It wont be great but it will be good for a night or two. Commuting is a bit expensive. The train fares are quite expensive. Check train times and prices (sometimes booking 7 days or more in advance can red...
