Anio wrote:goodssb, I don't think this section is applicable to you. If you read the last sentence on the previous page it mentions completing 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8 if unable to meet appropriate rate of pay because of maternity, paternity or adoption leave i.e for Tier 2 holders.

You are right. Thanks a lot

I have now over 200 days absent from the UK, mostly due to work, but also including some annual leave. I barely left the UK in the first 3 years. Previousl...

Hi all I came to the UK under Tier 1 visa and am due to apply for ILR in one year's time. I've seen people mentioning providing P60 for all 5 years. However, I did not work in the first year since I came to the UK. I was simply unemployed. Would that impact my application? I'm particuly concerned be...

skrai4u - big congrats!

Just one question, Did you bring 5 years P60 with you to prove your economic activity in the qualifying period?

I have been getting conflicting advices from different solicitors. Someone say I need to extend my visa f...

I don't know who I should listen to now, so I'd like to get clarification from this forum. Can anyone help please? Much appreciated. You need not extend more than once. See the link http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=93529&highlight= Thank you very much for the reply. This is really g...

I had a part time job, earning about 1K income at a school. It's supposed to be self-employed because the school paid me gross and I needed to deal with the tax things myself. Therefore I found an umbrella company to deal with it. The umbrella company deducted employer national insurance and income ...

The other day I went to police station to change my address because I need to register with the police. I was surprisingly told that I must extend my tier 1 visa at least one month before it expires. I think somewhere I've seen that as long as I send out my application before the last date of my vis...

The UK qualification was obtained more than 5 years prior to the receipt of this visa application and therefore this qualification does not meet the criteria that the qualification should have been awarded no ...

Yes, it did. It's master degree from one of the UK's leading universities. Called UKBA as well and was told qualifications don't expire. Mentioned all these in my admin review, but still got rejected. No reason was given. Just says the ECO was correct. Your qualification was older than 5 years. Did ...
