just an update

I successfully obtained my ILR from Croydon PEO. No issues at all. I just mentioed my PCN's on my cover letter.

thank you. yes I paid the bailiffs on the spot and also changed my v5c immediately to reflect my new address. I'm confused.

correct. i'm quite happy with this. they have been reasonable.

i'm assuming it means that folks who got their initial tier-1 application after the 5th of april 2010, that required a 100 points to qualify, will need to show a 100 points again, to qualify for an extension.

Hi, I work in a bank and on a tier-2 ict visa. I will be changing my visa to a tier-1 visa next month. Do I need to notify my HR department before I apply for my visa?
