Hi All, I have a query about sending the passport size photographs for T1(G) application. I am applying for HSMP extension under T1(G) along with my 2 dependants. 1) The main applicant's form (Page 9 / B. Personal Details) says, the main applicant should attach his/her photograph along with any dep...

Thanks for letting us know.

Current HSMP holders will not get affect from this rule, if implemented this rule will be for first time Tier1 applicants. We should be worried about the following: 1. Dependents will not be eligible to work 2. ILR time will change from 5 year to 8 year or probabationary citizenship etc. This is all...

****** local MP Sunday 22 February 2009 Dear ************, As the MP representing my area, I want to bring to your urgent attention my apprehension at the changes announced by the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith with regard to Tier 1 Highly Skilled Migrants / HSMP Visa Holders. She has proposed raising...

Hello Friends, We all are horrified at the unwarranted and unfair changes to the HSMP. But we are living in a democratic country and we should raise our voice where it is heard. We need to write to our MP's and councillors……… Thanks rkrohela, I look forward seeing your petition, please don’...

As far as I remember, pre Dec 2006 HSMPs won case againts HO based on human rights. I think we can also lodge a case against HO based on human rights if it affects us or our dependents in future, I am not a law expert but will appreciate senior members for their suggessions. I am aware that it is st...

I shall not be affected by Masters’ requirement but even then I'll email HO about plans of changing rules for residing immigrants. I strongly encourage other members to do the same even if someone is affected or not. At least we should show some resistance otherwise they will keep on doing what ev...

My question is what rights do we have in this country. I hope we were not brought here as slaves. There in no other country in the world which changes immigration rules like UK, please rectify me if I am wrong. It is sensible to tighten rules for people immigrating to the UK in future but changing r...

This is total descrimination, dependents will not be allowed to work! Then what they want our dependents to do whole day, just to sit at home. We should do something now and contact MPs etc, even new naturalisation program is not fair.

It is very sad news, I hope she recovers soon. My suggestion is to take advice from a good lawyer and also to speak with some UKBA officer. If they say that she can get extension on compassionate grounds then take this in written form so that you should have at least a proof. May be senior members c...

@ Rizwan If u r saying based on ur own personal experience then no doubt u r right. what do u say about the post below www.spammer.com/discuss/hsmpx/2355561/ Guy applied well in advance and he did get extension but not from visa expiry date but 3 months earlier than that..... How many months earlier...

Today I Went through the requirements for UK Tier 1 (General) visas and learned that one needs maintenance funds of 2800 GBP for over a period of three months. I was planning to apply before 20th of April 2009 since after that I will be 28 years of age and lose 10 points. Right now for the month of...

@ Ertis I think bank statements should be fine but if you really want to send letter then try different HSBC branches. I got letter from HSBC last week. I already sent the application since my visa was going to expire. I got the originals now. Do you think that there is a way to send these document...

@ Ertis I think bank statements should be fine but if you really want to send letter then try different HSBC branches. I got letter from HSBC last week. @Satish Be careful about HSBC promises, it can happen that you never get letter in 7-10 days or letter which they sent is not what you asked. If yo...
