Hi, Hope you all are fine. I have to apply for ILR later this year. Initially, I got my HSMP approval letter in 2007 and I was 27 year old at that time. I applied for Entry clearance immediately but the application was refused due to some reasons. I appealed and the appeal process took 2 years and w...

Thats good. you visited them by your own. what did you say when you reached gerry? did you call them before going? Is there any delivery date written on the stamped visa? I think i should do the same next friday as i also resubmitted my pp at karachi office. Just show them the Visa Consignment note...

M. Phil from Pakistan is definitely equivalent to UK Masters. So an M. Phil person would proably quailfy for Tier1 education requirements.

Hi,

Nope, they did not ask me to do the TB again as its not expired yet.

Its up to me to either hurry up and travel before it gets expired OR get the test done again.

I think I would go for the later one as I'll be on 1 month notice period after resigning from my job.

Hello and thanks,

Job market for my field i.e Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance is good as Pharma companies always have good business coz there is no time when people don't get sick.

Now I am also beginning to worry as my TB Cert will also get expired in 1st week of November and those bas***ds will get another chance to delay the Visa issuance process. @Rashi : Will you need to make another appointment from Gerrys to submit the passport ? UKBA is getting freaky day by day. Ya Al...

Furthermore when she comes to UK, the above TB cert will be expired.

Therefore you will have to have another one done now and hand it in.....then pray the visa is issued ..... before this one expires

12th May to 12th Oct. is 5 months.

Hi, I was just wondering that When so Ever BHC will return my passport and I'll reach UK (InshAllah), what will happen when I will re-apply after 3 years ! (as my case is of HSMP). UKBA has wasted 2 years of my life in the appeal process and the countdown has'nt stopped yet. I applied as under 28 in...

But RASHI has written that they submitted New TB test as requested, then why in the world did they ask for the TB test again !! I know this is unfair and so is the waiting time we are all going through, but the question is, who cares for us ? You can not be issued visa until you provide a valid TB c...

WaAlaikum AsSalaam Mr. Waheed, (I have sent you the same message as reply) Anyways now that appeal is in your favour, you have to wait for a Call-in letter that BHC Islamabad will send after some time. There is a time limit during which UKBA can challenge AIT against its decision but usually that do...
