Hello, I am a naturalised British citizen and I have invited my in-laws, who are indian citizens, to visit us in Feb / March. My In-laws recently got their Green Card for the USA, but their primary residence is still in India and they have very little evidence to show strong ties to the USA. They ap...
Hello, I applied for my naturalisation and the application was successful. However, UKBA did not send my original Indian passport back with the success notification letter. When I called UKBA, the agent said that they always send everything together and he put a note against my file to trace my pass...

Hello, I applied for my citizenship by post of 17th May and I am a little worried because of an odd circumstance. I am employed and don't have any other income so I have never filed my tax returns directly. For the last two years, I am working for a small start up and i came to know that they have n...
Hi, sorry to hear about your rejection.. I recently switched from Work permit to Tier 1 and I had claimed income in both UK and India. In my income calculation, i had applied the uplift ratio for my indian salary. However, UKBA did not award me points on this basis. However, i was fortunate enough t...
Hello, I have been in UK since Feb 2005 on a work permit. I got my Tier 1 general approved two weeks ago. I am planning to apply for ILR in Feb 2010. Between Feb 2005 and March 2009, I was employed with an Indian software major and i was always paid a net salary. My employer took care of my tax fili...
ejobs_01, I dont have first hand information on the tax policy. perhaps someone more knowledgeable can comment.. but to answer the original question from the thread, current employer may object to your Tier 1 visa if it increases their cost or if they feel you might quit. Depending on how long you h...
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 fi...
Hi, My wife is on WP. Her employer wants her to go back. She wants to apply HSMP before she goes back so as to start her application before rules change. Her employer is saying that they will send a letter to HO and ask for visa to not to be given or current WP to be cancelled. My questions: 1. Wha...
I got my Tier 1 yesterday. I have been in UK for the last 4 years working for an Indian IT major. I receive a UK salary and a portion of my Indian salary as well. I had claimed points for my UK salary + Indian salary with uplift. In my case, they have not considered the uplift factor applied to my i...
you can ask ICICI bank for duplicate statements. There is a charge of about 250 rs, but it is better than taking a risk with a statement on plain paper. If you have net banking, you can request for it online for any given time period.

I would'nt be thinking of resigning if I had any choice. I guess the only thing i can do now is to hope and pray that my Tier 1 application is approved.
I presume i cannot underake any form of employment till my Tier 1 approval comes through.
