Many thanks Alterhase58 Its a bit strange that you have to wait till 12 months after ILR to make the payment. I would have thought that once you entered the commencement of your ILR, that the website would block you from making the payment, or you can make the payment, but only submit your applicati...
Hi all I am currently completing my British Citizenship application online. Should I make the payment when I'm eligible to apply? I got my ILR 18/01/2018, should I make the payment after 18/01/2019? Can I also confirm if I need a letter from my previous employer to confirm my employment? When comple...

Hi Zimba88 thanks for the reply again I got this message from the Freedom of Information "If you have entered the UK within 180 days of your initial Tier 2 visa being granted, then your 5 years qualifying period will start from the date of entry into the UK. Please see the following link on the gov....
Hi all I have some questions regarding applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. 1. How would you work out the following scenario: (Assuming applicant meet all other requirements for his ILR application) Applicant on a Tier 2 General Visa Tier 2 (General) visa start Date :- 25/01/2013 Emplo...
Hi there I am currently extending my tier 2 visa and one of the questions is asking about criminal or unspent conviction offences. I have driving offences dating back over 8 years (2007 and prior) in Australia, which includes speeding over 30km (includes points deduction and 3 months driving suspens...
Also I noticed that the original SOC code was 2329 However, this was based on SOC 2000 It has now spilt into 2 codes for SOC 2010 2119 2426 Would updating these details along with a promotion and pay rise require a change of employment application to be filled? Looking forward to any advice Cheers
Hi there I am on a Tier 2 visa (General) I just got a promotion and pay rise from my employer My job title has changed, its essentially the same job, however, just a few additional duties In addition, my pay rise is only £3k p.a. more Does my employer need to inform the UKBA? In addition, when I got...
Thanks Sheraz7 for the link. Regarding the following detail After marrying EU national, you are no longer tied to one particular employer rather can work for any employer but you have to prove your right of work in form of having EEA2 RC at least having COA under this route. If your EU partner is ex...
Hi all I have been reading the forums for a while and also researching information regarding the EEA route. I thought I'll ask for some help regarding my situation. I entered the UK on a Tier 2 (general) visa on the 1 February 2013. I am Australian and planning to marry my fiancee who is polish earl...
Hi there I am currently on a Tier 2 (General) visa, which was obtained on the 31 January 2013. I was previously advised by Manci that if I was able to switch employers, that I would need to apply for leave to remain and obtain the unrestricted CoS prior to terminating my current employer's contract ...
Hi again I was wondering in regards to the ILR, the salary requirement based on the current rules is £35,000 p.a. Is the salary requirement based on: 1. the average of salary over the five years of continuous stay 2. Employment contract upon applying for ILR 3. Employee's salary in the final year? I...
Ahh thanks again Manci :) Since I got my Tier 2 Visa (general) on the 31/01/2013 In regards to the Tier 2 visa extension, do I have to be earning £35,000 for all three years to be eligible for the extension? Or can this just be the last year? This is also one reason I need to switch jobs if possible...
Hi Manci Much appreciated for your response, your a shining gem to this immigrationboards :) I always thought that if you were sponsored with a restricted CoS, that you couldn't get an unrestricted CoS from a new sponsor. How would I apply for leave to remain? Based on your answer to apply for the e...
Hi all Around this time last year, I was able to apply for a Tier 2 General visa, with the commencement date 31 January 2013. I entered the UK on the 18th February 2013 and have been working with my company for over 3 years (I was originally on a Tier 5 visa) Now I am thinking of my future and wheth...
Hi Greenie I'm pretty confused myself why they cannot provide me tax details. I thought it was simple enough, where I just add the total income I earned and taxes and national insurance I paid, and if I had overpaid, HMRC should pay me back. However, the call centre person asked his supervisor, stat...
Hi there I recently called HMRC regarding my tax situation, which they directed me to the UKBA. My situation is, I left my employment in August 2012 as my Tier 5 visa expired and only returned back to the UK in February 2013 under a Tier 2 visa. Given my absence, I'm wondering whether I might have o...
