Thanks for replying. Those are exactly my thoughts. It would've been better if I could just take the approval letter and go to any council and they could verify it and give me an appointment. The councils seem to favour private ceremonies since this is a revenue generation stream in this era of aust...

Hi, Is it possible to do the ceremony at another council quicker? Have been given a wait of 8 weeks for the ceremony while I have seen people get it done within a week. Would like to apply for passport since travel is on the way. HO approval was quicker! Private ceremony cost is closer to £350 so we...

Thanks for confirming what I read and understood. Thanks for replying so quickly, this forum seldom disappoints.

I'll go with the NCS.

Thanks!

Hi, For citizenship applications, Form MN-1 and Form AN, does the optional NCS service have any advantages over applying directly to Home Office? You get the original documents back at the same time for NCS. Other than that is there any clear advantage? Are applications processed faster if one takes...

In case anyone faces the same difficult situation like me if you have to cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, there is NO phone number to call. You have to send an email to ApplyOnlineE-Support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and ask them to cancel. You should get an email within 24 hours informing you...

Perfect, thank you very much.

I was looking for something in the immigration rules etc. But it's in the form!

My maximum period of absence for a single trip from the UK is around 50 days and I plan to put in a letter + dig up the flight itinerary and attach it to the letter.

Thanks!

Hi there! I am on Tier-1(General) soon to be eligible for ILR. Visa Granted: September 2009 First Entry : February 2010, 1st week More than 120 days between grant of visa and first entry.

Sorry if this has been answered before. Economically Active for ILR For a UK Limited company contractor, does economically active for the qualifying period mean 1) Always in a contract.

I have asked the accountant to add the details. He is preparing the letter!

1) Is dividend amount that we consider gross or net? I.E. x * (10/9) = y So can we claim points for y or x? I could be conservative and claim for x. I know for salary it has been mentioned Gross Salary is considered, but not sure for dividends. 2) Invoice Summary: What sort of information should the...

kenfrapin - Thanks for your reply! 2 months for interview to hire does seem long! I am open to both contract and permanent jobs so i'll keep trying, though the number of jobs on the itjobswatch website is about a third of the peak in 2007. And just this morning the news is that the UK is still in re...

I saw those statistics on that website. Has the job market recently improved? I have a tier1 visa and am debating whether to drop by a couple of weeks in end-November or wait until January or do both. I have applied to lots of Java jobs (jobsite, reed, CWjobs), but haven't had even a phone interview...
