SKR, Would you mind updating us on whether you were able to obtain your first british passport after naturalisation from overseas as you intended. [quote="skr27"]Hello all I am having to travel immediately after my naturalisation ceremony leaving me no time to apply for my UK passport. Is is possibl...

No need to call them again because the much awaited letter has arrived. Letter was dated Feb 19th and received Feb 27th. Will need to call my local council in UK to arrange suitable time for my ceremony, hopefully it will fall within my return due date. Thanks to every member of this forum. ,,,,,,,,...
I called the 0870 606 77 66 number ( option 3) and spoke to a lady who told me the following: Your application is currently with a caseworker......she then asked me 'have you received any documentation from us...my response 'no, apart from the acknowledgement letter......her next question...'what is...
Guys, I'm one the November applicants. Brief summary of my timeline; NCS-Dudley council applied on 13th November 2013 payment deducted on 13th January 2014 acknowledgement letter receive on 17th January 2014 Approval.......still waiting I'm currently out of the country and hope to be back by Easter ...
[quote="rj30337"]Thanks for the responses. Good to know that the option is there. If anyone reading has done this, I would like to hear about how the process went. Yes, the idea is to live here long term, however with none of my own family left in the UK I think it's understandable to want to have a...
Very painful as we are only 6 working days short (i.e 25th October last day of submission before the new rule and our earlier date which is 5th November). Can we post our application any earlier just to circumvent this rule? Jay [quote="D4109125"]Your wife will have to meet the B1 requirement.[/quote]
Guys, My wife and I got ILR on 5th November 2012. Going by the new rule, what exactly are we required to present for the new KoLL rule. I'm more worried about my wife as she only passed the LIUK test and has no other English qualification. Under the old rule we are not expected to show any other pro...
Many thanks to all the contributors in this forum. I was granted ILR on 5th Nov at PEO Glasgow My 5 years was made up of 18 months Work permit and 3.5years Tier 2 General (granted under transitional arrangements). If you read through my previous posts you will find out that I had posted about combin...
hI We are in the same both. My code is 2129 (Geo-environmental engineer) and I am due ILR in early November. If i am classed as gradute, then i will meet the £23k, but if under £14.76/hr i will be short by just under £3k. I've spoken to my employer and he may be looking to increasing wage this month...
Easy Current tax code letter should be okay to prove your anticipated earnings for 2012/2013. Additional evidence to me will be pay slips, bank statements and letter from employer. Please ensure that the content of the letter includes your BIK and they taxable cash equivalent for the current year. I...
[quote="easyguy"]Jay09, I thought you never used BIK for your previous applications? Answer: Correct. Or did you use it when you had to appeal against the decision for your LTR in 2009? Answer: Yes I used it, but only as a back-up to my arguements, because my initial application at the time stated o...
Easy Yes usually official P11D comes around june depending on when your employer files in their returns to HMRC. But you can ask the accountant to fill out one manually and make a copy for you to use in your extension. It will obviously be the same amount as to what he/she (accountant) will forward ...
Easy, Please note that i've not actually used BIK as part of any of my previous applications. In the case of Tier 1, which looks at previous eanrnings for the financial year/at the time of application, I would imagine that P11D which will detail the total cash equivalent for the car and fuel will be...
Vinaya/Barker, Barker, BIK is technically reflected on the wage slip because it is used in determining the appropriate tax code for the BIK beneficiary. As said by Vinaya, the HMRC deducts the total cash equivalent of the BIK from the tax free personal allowance (PA) and the difference is converted ...
[quote="vinaya"]I have given my perspective, why do you ask if you are so sure![/quote]
I asked to know what type of supporting evidence to include when applying and to hear from people that have experience in this area. Your view is noted nevertheless.
[quote="vinaya"]This cannot be used towards calculationg your gross income for ILR purposes. Speak to your employer and request him for a pay increase[/quote] Vinaya, You got it all wrong. The P800 tax calculation considers payments declared on P11D form (in this case for car and fuel benefits) from...
Guys, Some of you may have noticed in my most recent post that I could be a bit short of the required minimum pay for my job occupation which is currently under SOC 2129. Prior to the last MAC review, my SOC was 2121 and the required minimum pay for the SOC code was within my current salary at the t...
Kumar, Yes it was moved during the last review. Howeer i cld not see any real justification as to why a job title like geoenvironmental engineer cannot be classed under civil engineering whilst petroleum engineering is considered under the same SOC code 2021. In my opinion, amongst the two occupatio...
[quote="DayDream"]Asser Please check the following link http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=600112&highlight=#600112 You will see that ILR was granted for the applicant with an unspent conviction(convicted through court). I have seen atleast 3 or 4 members in this forum confirming that ...
Would it not be possible to argue that the inability of the applicant to meet the required rate was as a result of change in the SOC code by the UKBA...ie moved from SOC 2121 with less salary to 2129 which needs higher pay. Do they have any justification as to why it was moved.
[quote="sam88aiz"]I am confused regarding the SOC code referenced in the letter. The minimum rate of salary for the referenced SOC code (2129) (£14.76 per hour) & (£23,000 Per annum New graduate) according to (Tier 2 Section M Occupational Codes of Practice - Version 04/12: Valid from 04/04/2012) is...
All (particularly the gurus), I'm due for ILR by end of October 2012 via Tier 2 route (ie: Work permit from Nov 2007-2009, then transferred to T2 under transitional arrangements). At the time of my Tier 2 application in 2009, my job title (Geoenvironmental Engineer) which was (and still is) under sh...
