Hi All, A quick question. There is a requirement that the person applying for naturalisation should be in country exactly 5 years before the date when UKBA receives the application. I am applying through nationality checking service through my local council. Do you know if the date of receipt of app...

Thanks Guys. @ gm21 : you are normally eligible to apply 28 days before the expiry of visa (in your case, the date when HSMP visa was stamped on your passport). Why are you so worried about 1-2 days :) Apply only when you are totally sure. @fahadz1: SATR (Self Assessment Tax Return). Normally when ...

Entered UK 26 June 2007. Tier 1 (extn granted) : 30 April 2009 to 30 April 2012 @ UKBA office: 1. After security check...

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, the person has already sent the application to Home Office and the fees has been deducted.
What do you suggest:
1. Should he call the documents back?
2. Just wait, in case....?

Hi Folks,

A friend of mine currently has Tier 2 Visa. (PS: Not Tier 2 dependant but main Tier 2).

Now, to apply for Tier 1 dependant, can the application be filed within UK or one has to go back to home country to file the application.

Thanks.

Hi Guys, If you are director of your own limited company (i.e. contracting), what is the set of documents that you would need to get clearance from case working as far as Earnings section is concerned.

Hi, I would seek help from fellow or senior members of the forum on their interpretation of the following in the ILR form: An applicant will be awarded no points for a Bachelor’s degree if: (a) his last grant of entry clearance was as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the rules in place between 31 Ma...
