........ A genuine mistake, promptly corrected should not be a serious issue but explain on your application. You will not have claimed money your family is not entitled to anyway as it is a universal benefit. If you are claiming Child Tax Credits these have to be claimed as a couple anyway and wil...

Hi All, My wife and daughter are UK citizens. My daughter was born 3 years ago, and since her birth We have been claiming child benefits. I am due for my ILR soon based on Tier 1, Will the fact child benefit is being claimed in both names effect my application ? If so what can be done to rectify the...

Hi All, I am currently on Tier 1 visa in UK. I own are rental property and my Tenants have not been paying Council Tax. This has gone to a point that I have been issued with a Magistrates Court Summons in my Name with the threat of being issued with a Liability order in 2 weeks time. While I am tryi...

I now personally know 2 people who got approved for early extensions, one of them almost 11 months prior to visa expiry date. If you Qualify and as long as you have a reason like: a long overseas trip, buying a house - getting mortgage, changing a jobs, your sickness, Marriage, Pregnancy, your paren...

Can you please let us know how early you applied ?

I have already posted two letters today to the following addresses: Theresa May MP House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Damian Green MP House of Commons London SW1A 0AA I suggest you all do the same as the petition option is no longer available.

Bearing in mind that the Government have orientated their attention toward employers rather than employees (cf the consultation as well as the resulting shift away from T1G), I question whether a petition or letter-writing campaign from Tier 1 visa-holders will carry very much weight. I would have ...

A Potential Alternative: 1. Create a new Email Id called "SaveTier1Migrants@xyz.com" 2. Ask everyone here and on facebook to email a copy of Blue petition to this inbox with their full name. 3. Present the Hard Copy of this Petition to No 10 and Home Office, with the Email Id an Password to verify o...

Should we create multiple hard copies of this petition and get physical signatures in various cities, bind them together and physically submit.....

Spot on, the petition should not be emotional or lengthy. There is nothing we can do about the closure of Tier1 G but all our concerns is about extension and I think that should be the only issue addressed in the petition i.e The rules should stay the same. Actually "extension and Settlement" ....p...

I agree with push and MJNair. I think we should go with the blue version and change it to be addressed to the PM. The blue version is a more professional petition and has a clear and formal style. sorry if I am repeating myself but we must address this 30% of failures because they are being adverti...

you CANT write this 'but we believe the existing Tier1 extension criteria will be efficient in dealing with this minority' as the existing Tier 1 extension criteria does NOT deal with this minority, it allows them to extend doing multiple jobs etc. You either take it out or propose a solution to fi...

Okies, I thank all for their respective efforts and suggestion. With help from fellow members and a good lawyer friend of mine, here is what I vote to go live for petition by Tuesday 30/11/2010. I don't think there are many people who are aware of these possible changes. We need minimum of 500 LEGI...

Agree with Push... we must not make a petition that sounds desperate. Contrary to what someone already said in the form, we DO have a lot to lose, if we do not put the right petition in. I think it should be kept short with just the key points. - Who we are - What is the concern - What are we expec...

One more suggestion....can we change the name of facebook group from Save Tier 1 to "Save Tier 1 Migrants in UK", its just that Save Tier 1 sounds like we are trying to salvage the whole program....
