Hi , I applied for Tier 1 (2nd extension) 4 weeks ago via post and had biometric enrollment a week after. I plan to travel to home by 19th Dec and was wondering how I could send a case expedite request. I already booked tickets and worry about not receiving my passport and BRP by the time of leaving...

Good job Senthilkumar. I've an appointment tomorrow in Belfast too. Hope I'll end up the same like you.

Thanks v.much HSK Accountancy Services.

Hi HSK Accountancy Services, Make sure your accountant is not just only qualified but he/she must have a 'practicing licence' from ACCA/ICAEW etc. Best way to make sure that your accountant has a practicing licence is to search on institute's website and see if he/she is registered as a practitioner...

Hi Sushdmehta, I've another question regarding application form B26. The applicant should indicate whether they consider themselves to be employed or self-employed. I think I had read similar posts around this question, But couldn't find those for SE - Sole Trader case. Given my case above (Employed...

Thanks Sushdmehta.

Hi Sushdmehta, All the accountant letter samples I’ve seen shows the earning income of both sources (Salaried + Self employed income), but I don’t want to bother my accountant by salaried income source as I already have enough evidence for the salaried income. The first question: 1- Does it matter i...

Thanks Arif, I've emailed them but no reply yet.

Thanks Sushdmehta.

Hi Arifahmmed,
I've the same issue. Would you tell me which number you had called UKBA to cancel one of them?

Hi Sushdmehta,
Thanks for your answer. I've meant that It's a mandatory requirement to register myself as self employed to count the freelancing earnings.
Yes I've to claim both employed + self employed previous earnings to score enough points for the extension.

Thanks again,

I’ve registered myself as a self employed with HMRC after I knew that it’s a mandatory to count earnings from my freelancing job. The registration made 2 weeks after I’ve received my first earnings from freelancing, However, I’ve entered 2 months earlier, two months before the first payment receive ...

My payslips show the following: Total Gross = X Taxable Pay = X + Pension Contribution NI'able Pay = X If Total gross is used to calc the total earnings for last 12 months, it shows a shortfall of 1000ish GBP, But if the Taxable pay used it shows no shortfall. The question: which payment I should co...

Thank tomanuel, I've already did that at the beginning of the year.

Hi All, I'm planning to apply for Tier1 extension by the end of this year. I'm planning to claim points for employee + Self employed earnings, But I've not register with an accountant yet. I'm planning to find an accountant 1 month before applying for the extension, Is that fine? Could the accountan...

dude, thats not a choice, its a requirement.

Yes I'm going to register to claim future earning But now I'm looking for a way to claim the points for earning already received, Is it applicable?

You need to get registered with HMRC as Self-employed or work through limited company. I don't want to register as Self-employed, I want to hire an accountant to fill/complete tax return for the overseas income. I think that the accountant’s letter confirming gross and net earnings of the overseas ...

total points score must be at least 95 points if you currently have permission to stay in the UK as: a Tier 1 (General) migrant under the Immigration Rules in place before 19 July 2010; a highly skilled migrant; a writer, composer or artist; or a self-employed lawyer. If you are in any other eligib...

Hi There PBS Calc shows that i do not appear to have enough points to apply for permission to stay in the UK (known as 'leave to remain') under Tier 1 (General). I scored 95 points and the date of my first successful Tier 1 application is 1st Feb, 2011. I already did the assessment 2 months ago and ...
