Hello, My 2 year Tier 1 visa exprires in June 2012. I heard that there is a 1,000 quota for Tier 1 visas. Does this quota apply to extensions as well? Should I hurry up and apply for an extension now? Also, if my application for extension is refused, do I get the visa fee back? Thank you! No it was...

I would like to share my experiences here. Background: I was onsite at UK from an Indian company for 2.5 years since 2007. I had my Tier1 since 2009 and had my CV at all job sites possible, however got only around 3 interviews in one year. I had two offers at different time but due to personal const...

2. Utility bill or some other official letter in my name at the same address In order to have a Utility bill in your name, you have to ask the landlord to add your name. Also you would need some Id proof for which you can either send the passport or send a copy attested by advocate. Also, if you kn...

Hi All, This is going to be my first contracting role.

Cover letters are not a must, but good to have. But its your choice after all.

Go for the interview. You have nothing to lose :) Ask them if they can make it permanent. What kind of work does it involve. I ask this as I have seen contractors working for non-stop 8 years in contract in some companies. Your contract may get extended. Thank you for the response. The role is for ...

First of all, are you eligible to work. I mean you cannot if you are on Work Permit (issued by this Indian co.) You will not be able to contract unless you get a Tier-1 or WP with an umbrella co. if the loophole is still open. If they offer you permanent role then you can ask them to re-apply for y...

Hi All, I have been working with an Indian software company in UK for the last 1.5 years [ been in India for 2.5 months in between when they offshored me]. I came back in August and started looking for jobs while working for the same Indian comapany in UK. I got a call from an agent last week and th...

1. Yes. Current job market is pathetic. As long you have job in India with current employer, you must continue. 2. Its all about demand. When there is very low demand, as it is currently, even 5-10 years experience guys will struggle. 3. None, except Permnent Residency/ILR etc, otherwise just chill...

I had been working in the UK from Nov 07 - Mar09 for my current employer [Indian]. I had moved to the Tier 1 visa in February. However at the end of March my current employer sent me back to India as our project came to an end. I have the following queries: 1. Is it wise to wait again till my curren...

Depending on how long you have been in UK, your Income tax liability depends on your visa status. If i am not mistaken, work permit holders dont pay IT for the first two years. If your employer takes care of your tax, as most Indian software majors do, they may not be paying IT for you during the f...

thanks all .. please share any other experience if relevant ..

thanks for your help.

Thanks for replying. You mean to say I need not consider the Indian Basic salary and only enter the UK gross salary for calculating the points for the period I have stayed in UK. The second thing is that , out of the 12 months for which I am showing the earnings, 8 months earnings are from India wh...

Hi All , Can any one please help me and clear the confusion for scoring the points for HSMP on earnings ?
