It may be that your offer to pay if it does not materialise is not enforcable by law. It might be best in this instance to let your friend in the UK receive the originals and forward them to you - you would of course have to authorise the HSMP Team to do such in writing. Depending on your country of...
The employer must notify Work Permits UK when an employee changes the address at which they will be working. Of course if you are merely moving short term (IMHO < 3mths) between sites say for project purposes/ on secondment then this is not necessary. The notification must be accompanied with a copy...
bouncingboy, Proof that you have been married (and that it was not a marriage of convinience). Obviously it would help to have sufficient evidence that you 'never' met your wife a 'week ago'. Clearly it would be helpful if you had documentary evidence spanning a period of 2 years. The presentation o...
The fact that Home Office ignored the 'No WP' to 'HSMP' in between period in question when granting you fresh HSMP LTR indicates they continued to be considered as being in a category leading to settlement so can be included in your 4 year clock counter for ILR.
Did you use Fedex to deliver the application in the 1st place - my understanding is that you need to have the courier process done on a prepaid 2 way route i.e. from you to HSMP Team and from HSMP Team back to you. Under the Fedex terms and conditions of carriage to Europe, Africa, Indian Subcontine...
Legally the Home Office which includes the HSMP Team can only give a decision on an immigration application to the applicant or an agent authorised by the applicant in writing in the relevant section of the immigration application. There is no way the HO/HSMP Team etc can verify who you are on the t...
NMSheikh, 3. If due to absence from UK, one is unable to secure his/her ILR or BC, can his/her spouse & kids apply and obtain ILR/BC who have completed continuous 4/5 years period as dependents and have his/her name on all the bank statements, bills, tenancy agreement etc and can also provide wage s...
1. Applicants falling into this new rules then old rules scenario were required to submit various documents primarily biodata on height, eye colour, language skills etc to reflect the new points system. Some remain in place even where a case reverts to the old points matrix such as eye colour etc as...
Presumed thesis was on a doctoral/PhD basis - a viva is a verbal defense of your doctorate thesis to a panel of experts in your field of research. Good luck with the masters thesis and whilst working hard on that is o.k do relax on the HSMP front.
JG, It is normal to be jittery when anticipating events of significance in one's life such as a HSMP application and eventual re-location to the U.K. I will echo comments by Chess that your positivity in overcoming earlier challenges vis a vis your application including it ending in Oz was most enco...
RamanR, 1. For an application for a variation of leave to be considered valid by the Home Office it must: a) be received while your current leave to remain (LTR) or enter (LTE) is valid. b) be on the correct form unless exempt by statute (law) or discretion. c) include the relvant fee unless exempt ...
Marka, Send in original ILR letter and copy of biodata and ILR stamp pages with required action cover letter as advised by Home Office using special delivery. HO may not like to re-issue status letters and in some cases don't legally have to but you are entitled to one if you can prove it is you and...
Mike, It depends on the level of deviation from your claimed points vis a vis submitted evidence if any. Since such is unique to all applications there is no definitive answer apart from that. However note that with the recent increase in the number of applicants the HSMP Team is more likely to refu...
There is nothing you can do for the time being apart from being patient. My advice is that you focus your efforts on searching for employment in your designated HSMP occupation in the U.K. including required registration with associations if any as well as associated activities of living here i.e. c...
Chess, This issue of the spouse joining you - if you claimed Spouse points is a bit tricky. it is not stipulated anywhere (that I can remember of) that the spouse MUST join you. Although, I do realise that HSMP immigrants with educated spouses are encouraged to apply. Both HSMP guidance leaflet (par...
Raikal, Under the Immigration Variation of Leave Order 1972 as amended by the Immigration and Assylum Act 1999 a person who applies for a variation of their leave to remain in the UK is deemed to have remained in status until a decision is made on that application where the said application was subm...
Ganesh 1. You can include your wife and any children under 18 as dependents in the relevant SET (letter) application form you submit for IRL. If you are successful they will get ILR in line with you. However any children under 18 and born to you in the UK before the grant of ILR can apply for regist...
My understanding is that the person in question has already sourced the said workers and is enquiring on the immigration process for getting them legally into the UK on a Work Permit potentially with the help of workpermit.com
Thanks and we hope to continue helping others as best as we can. Couldn't do it without the help of regulars such as yourself and always look forward to seeing you on the board. Regards to all my fellow moderators - ala Robin Hood and his bunch of merry men not forgetting maid marion .
