And thank you for sharing this One quick question re absence: have you provided any evidence (e.g. tickets?...
Time to share my story now :) This forum helped me a lot and I'm glad I can give something back. Route: Tier 1 G (3+2) Initial Application: March 2010 (in-country switch) Extension: March 2013 (same-day service at Croydon) ILR application submitted on 03.03.2015 (postal) Confirmation letter received...
Get all your Discrepancies sorted man.You will face problems if your Digits to UKBA and HMRC are not same. UKBA is conducting regular cross checks with HMRC to find out ........... I know personally 3 people who are refused under paragraph 320/321 (Deception) because of their different digit provid...
Thanks for the reply. I agree, I will/should not change the facts. I have shown my earnings from 31st Jan to 30th April and now because I paid my National Insurance at the post office today morning and got the receipt, I need to show another entry in my bank account as Income to confirm that I was ...
Hi, I have applied for Tier 1 General extension. My earnings are from my LTD. company which I own 100%. I am drawing salary as employed director and dividend as 100% share holder. As proof of income i have sent Pay slips, Dividend Vouchers, Accountant Income Summary and Letter, Personal Bank Statem...
am a contractor and work under my own Limited Company Structure. I take salary and dividend to show for my earning. My visa is up for renewal in Feb 2014 and I plan to apply in January 2014. I would like to claim earning from 1st Dec 2012 to 30th Nov 2013 for my visa. In the year of 2012, the limit...
That's interesting yet not surprising. They are basically suspecting your friend made up this self-employed income to score enough points together with the (genuine) employed income, and as a result, was less willing to pay tax based on non-existing income. Sending required tax return docs can be st...
UKBA is greedy. You are entitled to old fee and sending your application back is a mistake which UKBA intentionally made, leaving you to re-apply with the new fee. Even if you succeed in arguing with UKBA that old fee is applicable to your previous application, you still need to pay the new fee as y...
Ok here are my thoughts: you could try to contact your previous employers and ask for the letter to indicate the periods you were on paid annual leave ( there are templates in this forum). If they don't respond then you can show the CW (if you are required) that you have tried to contact them - this...
I would like to humbly disagree with the petition proposal - so far there isn't anything to petition for(yes the new rules are in place now but oddly enough there are no effects). It is the CWs who make the decision on our cases ( and most of the time they are very sensible), not the guys who answer...
Does Highly skilled migrant means hsmp?? yes as per ukba response on WhatDoTheyKnow in some previous email. do not exactly where I saw that but they confimred it means HSMP. does it mean that ...RAW was not asked for the proofs as he was on hsmp at the the of his 170 days absence from UK . loooool....
What if you are a contractor using an umbrella company with daily rate? I do get holiday pay every month but as I am paid by day, if I get out of the country for holiday. I won't be paid the daily rate but I still get monthly holiday pay, and it is shown on my payslip even on the month I took holid...
I'm desperately searching for work in London right now to meet my income threshold and I'm wondering if I should just start looking for work abroad instead. I feel so incredibly defeated, after nearly 7 years of living here (4 on Tier 1). Before you do that, you may want to wait until we get more d...
According to the new reply https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/cy/request/new_immigration_rules_effective Absences must be connected to the tier 1applicant’s permitted employment, or the permitted economic activity being carried out in the UK, for example, business trips or short secondments. This also ...

Would appreciate if you could let us know when you got ILR. Did you use the New application form or the old version?
My opinion is absence always means period outside uk. No need for employer letter/no breaking continuous stay if u took leave inside uk- paid or unpaid.
Don't you guys find the response from UKBA worrying as it seems even you are in employment in the UK, as long as you've have a non work related absence from the UK, the continuity is considered to be 'broken'. This is worse than the letter we have get from the employer as majority of us have been o...
I had a quick look at the pdf file. If I have a degree (PhD research) taught in UK + passed life in UK test + applied for ILR before 28 Oct. 2013, do I need to a pass the english language for naturalisation? I know it is mentioned that people with UK degree are automatically passed the english lang...
What if someone was out of work and have taken holiday? Then you'd have to write a personal letter. I think this will break the continuous stay. See the link below: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ilr_calculating_continuous_perio_2 Note this: Qa. Please confirm if the ILR candidate has to be...
Just out of curiosity: did u write to explain? And after this he/she still asked for additional docs(including the explanation of large amount of money transfer)? What difference would it make to write the explanation again? Why can't he/she contact your employer directly to verify? Did you provide ...
