I agree with hsmpilr, let's do something about this and may be start by filing a petition.
Let's get together and fight back by hiring a Solicitor etc.

I hope you get your ILR mate, but just curious how will you justify 83 days out of UK in 2011....is it business trip as it probably can't be annual leave for that long duration

All, we really need to take Legal action through a solicitor soon.
Please post your consent at the earliest and we can then ask for some advice/guidance from Senior members for the best way to do this.

Guys, this new rule is simply unacceptable to be honest.
Let's hire a lawyer and fight back like HSMP folks did.

I don't know what the exact procedure will be to do this, but we should really challenge these new rules.
Senior members please suggest.

1. Current vignette: Tier 1 (General) + 1 Dependant 2. Date of expiry of current leave: 16 July 2012 3. Number of applicants: 1 + 1 Depedents 4. Date application posted: 3rd April 2012 5. Date application received at UKBA: 4th April 2012 6. Date payment debited: Waiting 7. Payment mode : Master Card...

Does it take less time for dependents as compared toprocessing time for HSMP/Tier-1 visas?

My wife applied on 23rd March from Jalandhar.

Friends, My sincere advice to you is to hunt for Indian mpanies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, HCL, Mastek etc.....in your first job search. They will be genuinly interested in you. Use your network of friends who are already working there. Approach Indian consultants like Mafoi who deal with UK recruitm...

Dear friends,
I have made a strategy and if that works I will let you know soon.
Hopefully that will work for all of you too.
Please pray for me!

Thank u so much for the replies! 1. If I work in Mckinsey for 1+ years and then go to UK, will I have difficulties in getting FLR? 2.
