Cameron's speech today is apparently going to identify 20k after tax as a reasonable minimum to support a family. I guess this amounts to about 25k before tax, which seems awfully high, and (as pointed out above) higher than the average UK wage. http://m.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oct/10/cameron-rewrit...

One would have hoped that ministers in UK will learn from the mistakes of USA or Australia but NO, they will learn from their own mistakes or will they??? Only time will tell and anyway SUN is rising in the east! Can you elaborate? You mention countries with the land mass about 20 times that of the...

" new figures revealed that the government's curb on overseas students had reduced their numbers by 11,000 and led to more than 450 colleges pulling out of the market. " As pointed out in the article " Britain could not afford to make the same costly mistakes as the US and Australia which both curb...

The British Heart Foundation is a wonderful cause, they are always looking for people to work in their shops, you can generally chose how much time you give andit will keep your interpersonal skills sharp and maybe in enhance them too. Also get in touch with your local council, they may be able to p...

EEA nationals have freedom of movement simply because they are members of the EU and the vast majority of British people dont have to worry about immigration rules where their parents are concerned because their parents are British and already living in Britian. If someone from a non EU country come...

Dear All, As you are already aware, an consultation has begun by government which propose a change in family route. As a whole, this would have a great impact on non-european nationals including spouses and elderly parents and relatives to enter, permanent stay and nationality. Also it could affect...

Thanks for all replies, It looks extension while working only outside UK is possible, as many have mentioned that as long as I can collect the required points. However, I understand that I must be in UK during the extension procedure. Is it possible to apply for extension while in other country?? I...

The views on immigration in the UK go hand-in-hand with facial differentiation. It's not an issue with race!!! You are simply trying to draw a comparison to something which isn't there. It's a question of developed nations versus developing nations more than it is race. It's about which countries h...

chetan3985, You may also find that, when the time comes that you need the proof your wife was working, that your wife is quite willing to help you with the documentation. People you have been involved with can be genuinely helpful! (plus it will save her time and effort to do that). What makes you ...

Hello all, I figured I would start my own thread on this after about two days of somewhat panicked googling. I have found cases in which undergraduate students with cautions were assured (albeit online) that this would not effect their ability to get a work visa or a student visa afterward. My situ...

Hi Guys, I have been through immigration forums for over a year to find out all the information I can about getting my wife to the UK.

Thank you very much for your reply. I got Master in Engineering Project Management in UK ( University of Leeds). Unfortunately, I do not hold any working experience.

@sushdmehta Thanks for the reply. I too suspect that, in that case i am thinking to present her as an individual and my friend. As we are not married now and she is single and she will be applying for her visa now, will it be ok for me to present her as my friend who wants to visit the country for ...

I would say even that's a little over the going rate for a graduate mechanical engineer. I am a mechanical project engineer and I started on 21k four years ago. I believe you are very fortunate in the current climate. One doesn't start on big salaries straight away in manufacturing/ heavy industry....

If you were on your mothers passport, this meant you "were" a British citizen, if she renounced her citizenship and more than likely that of her childrens (in India you are not allowed more than one citizenship), then you can NEVER again under any circumstances hold British Citizenship. British sub...

Dear all I was born in Uganda in 1962 and the time of birth both prents were British citizens, mother was a registered citizen and Dad was a naturalized citizen. We were on our mom's blue coloured british passport as minors. My father renounced his citizenship after my birth and became an Ugandan c...

OK, new here and hope that I'm not double posting, but have searched for this topic and can't quite find a similar situation to mine. So if I have, please send me to where I can find the answers.

Hi Moderator, Many thanks for the reply. You are correct. I am registered with local GP. However, I personally feel that I am not very much satisfied with their service ( this is purely my personal view). It usually takes 3 to 4 days to get an appointment. As this is my first baby and living all al...
