Please see My Points above 4 & 5. This letter is required now for Tier 1 & Tier 2 Applicants. Hi Kevin Point 5: I have completed a spreadsheet and it includes all personal and business trips. Business trips are also accompanied with letters from my employer. Point 4: What exactly does "authorised" ...

thanks for the reply.

my main concern is do I need a letter from my employer to cover my personal/holidays overseas?

**bump**

Hi I am referring to this document http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/cross-cut/ilr-calculating-continuous/ilr-calculating-continuous.pdf?view=Binary from what I can read, do I need to supply a letter from my employer detailed every trip overseas that I h...

You can take your baby along with you but he/she wont be able to enter the UK unless he/she has vaild visa or british passport... I am curious about this point. do they enforce this? what are the logitistics of parents returning to the UK with ILR (or even Tier 1) permits and a six month old baby? ...

1: Full medical record for your spouse in relation to your UK absence from ----- 2: A letter from employer confirming your absence from work during this period and what type of leave it was taken 3: any other documents you wish to be considered if they have asked you for the above provide it. The l...

Just to clarify, you arrived in 1999 with a tourist visa(?) for six months and overstayed. In 2008 you applied for ILR. If the above is correct, without considering any other factors, you have broken the rules and therefore do not meet the criteria for ILR. the UKBA does not owe you anything in this...

great thanks!

thought that was the case but needed to confirm.

Hi my partner and I are currently 3.5 years into our Teir PBS with myself as the main applicant and my wife as dependant. come two years I will satisfy the 5 years continuous residence and be eligible to apply for ILR. My wife is planning on going overseas for five months. Will this effect her abili...

that is exactly what I did and it was ok.

As a bonus waiting until the last day meant that when I got my BRP it was dated from the date they processed the application effectivly giving me and extra three months!

So this is the catch I guess. catch maybe but it seems a very convoluted process and entering and exiting other countries would make it very confusing for a BA staff member to pick that up on attempted re-entry. Simply "losing" your passport and getting a new one would erase any previous overstay r...

The problem will be when the next visa application is made by the same applicant. The entry/exit date stamps on the passport will show that the applicant did overstay on his/her last visit. but that is my point - I never get a stamp when I leave the UK .... so how will they know when somebody leave...

Hi I am an Australian citizen living and working in the UK with a Tier 1 (General) PBS permit. I am thinking of working in the US and am not sure of my options. Does the US have an equvilant of a Tier 1 General? or are my only options green card or work sponsored permit? Does anyone know of the numb...

I believe that is correct.

I guess it comes down to travel requirements ..... like I said in hindsight I probably would of paid the extra for the PEO to reduce the stress of our up and coming honeymoon .... last thing I would want is to be married and have plane tickets in hand and no passport .... on the other hand accepting...

ok to get this straight - every other country I need a passport to enter and exit .... except for the UK. I will need my passport AND BRP? Is that correct? So not only is this a country that still issues TWO licenses (a picture card and paper license) now they require TWO travel documents ..... all ...

I am curious about length of stay in visas. When ever I leave the UK I have never passed through immigration control. It is airpline check in, security screening, and then into duty free and away. Every other country I have left always has immigration control on exiting and entry and there they chec...

what is the purpose of the BRP? when would I need to show it? is the passport not enough with the new stamp in it?

yes - there are people still waiting in this time frame .... I expect it is coming shortly.

The main thread for tracking times is here

my experience with HSBC was they reprinted on bank stationary then and there in branch a different format statement with our names on it (no address from memeory) and ordered the regular statements for us which took another week or so to arrive. They refused to stamp the online statements I brought ...

So being born here does not automatically equate to permission to stay ... that is a real pain having to apply for our childs PBS dependent and everything else that goes with it. What do you think would happen in practise enforcing such a rule ... for example we return from holiday my wife and I hav...

Hi My wife to be and I are planning on having a baby soon. I am currently a Tier 1 main applicant and my wife is a dependant and we both live in uk. How soon after having a baby do we have to apply for our childs migrant permit? Being australian does it mean I need to apply for a passport for our ba...
