Can someone please make this clear ? Thanks Of itself, no, that should not be a problem. However, you have to...

Am I right in assuming the regulations do not allow for extensions to the working holiday maker scheme? That's correct. He can't extend. 2 years and that's it. If not can he switch and apply under a different scheme whilst remaining in the UK - he has expierence as a chief in an indian restaurant. ...

It's likely once you converted your application to ILR JR it is now in that queue and the turnaround times for normal ILR JR applications are also applicable to your case.

The good news: many people are now reporting a rather quick turnaround time of 3-5 weeks for ILR JR applications lodged recently.

MrBaboo, why do you think only experienced members, possibly immigration consultants, eligible to comment in rather sarcastic way? I never said that. I didn't detect any sarcasm in Sten's reply. You did and now you seem 100% convinced of it. Perhaps you should re-read and consider there was no sarc...

You could start contributing by analysing some of numerous "ILR success in .." posts on this forum, I am sure people will find this useful and will correct / add information as it goes ... Thanks for your advice. You seem too eager to discourage people asking questions. Are you half baked immigrati...

Applications received after April 6 were asked to submit evidence for last 5 years. It used to be 3 months but not anymore. If you send only 3 months, you are going to get letter asking evidence for 5 years. Internal guidance has changed in last 2 months and they got a new check list. Can you point...

I've just sent my complaint. It's disgraceful and I was outraged when I saw and heard the various adverts but it never occurred to me that I could complain through this means. Well done for thinking of it!

Thanks for the pointers. My situation: WP Jan'05 > HSMP Mar'06 for 2 yers > HSMP extension in Apr'08 for 3 years I do have a concern: the HSMP forum page cited states the following: c. (2 + 3 ) - Initial HSMP Visa of 2 years & then received extension of 3 years (Please note: this scenario applies o...

MrBaboo, Thanks for your reply and pointer to the HSMP forum document. Just one more point: I came to the UK in Jan'05 on a WP, then applied and was approved HSMP in March '06. Based on a reading of the relevant documents, it seems I am eligible to apply for ILR now? Again you and I share a similar...

My HSMP letter is dated 3-Mar-06, although the HSMP stamp in my passport is as of 25-Apr-06. The new 4-year ILR policy for HSMP has a cutoff date of 3-Apr-06. Can someone advise me what this date refers to? HSMP letter date (if yes, then I am covered!) or the date of stamp in passport? Many thanks....

The only thing is that i have had a look at the form and i cant see anything different as they claim. I think they've released the policy but forgot to release the updated forms (dated 04/2009) I have some serious issues with the guidance that I've discussed here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/v...

It doesn't but he's a troll so it's in his nature (as his many postings and his "thin ice" status confirm).

Don't feed the trolls...

As most of you know the JR in case of HSMP forum and the end result was that the promise of 4yrs should be kept I think you have misunderstood what the JR was about. I understood the JR and it was concerning changes implemented in april 2006 and the one of the most important change was ILR (4 to 5y...

you can be best lawyer of your own case. Gathering documents and presenting them well should not be a problem for a HIGHLY SKILLED MIGRANT i suppose. Preparing the application is not for everyone - some people lead busy lives and rightly prefer to let somebody else deal with the details for a fee. ...

My wife is working now in UK and has got an extension of her work permit and will be going through the FLR procedure. Her employer has applied for extension of work permit this year, so I guess she has to go through the tier 2 scheme. She has 4 year B.Sc. but not a M.Sc. degree. Will her applicatio...

My god, stop mixing and matching. Really, was that outburst justified? If you can't say something politely then please don't say it at all. It was polite If you want impolite I can change it and you can appreciate the difference I don't precisely know why your status is "thin ice" but I can take a ...

Not sure what you mean by this...

There may be more simple solutions to your problem but it's not an area I'm familiar with. Hopefully others will be able to comment.

Those are naturalisation requirements, I believe. ILR is more stringent.
