Hi all, My first post. Thanks first for this very useful forum. My university hasn't issued any Certificate for more than 20 years, only Provisional certificates saying that the Certificate itself will be issued later . I've checked this on the phone with HO and they are quite clear that they won't...

"HO people are trying to look through and making her shy and forcing her to tell the truth about BITE colleg". This where you screwed up... Absolute ridiculous lie no, this is not a lie..............You will all laugh because she is my sister and its her panties which HO are looking at......

If she is in the country currently on ILR , has held this continously for 25 years, and has not breached the terms of her ILR in any way, then I would imagine she would be OK to apply for naturalisation. Incorrect advice! ... she may have breached her continuity of residence for naturalisation even...

Agreed.

And despite emotions running high, I think it would be better if people could calm themselves down before using insulting language at other board-users.

It would help if you could post your question!

Thank you Paperpusher. That was the same point I was trying to make.

Not yet, but it's still early days after all.

Hi Guys, My wife's Tier1 visa is due for renewal in December 2009. I would like to know how early can she apply for a Tier1 renewal with the home office? Can she apply for 3 to 4 months in advance? I mean can she apply by August 2009? or should we wait till december 2009? It's good to see people pr...

Dear Admin & Mods, I wonder if there is any value in adding a "report post," button to the site to highlight posts to yourselves that the board users may have concerns about? I know the facility exists to PM a mod should any concerns arise regarding a post (which occurs rarely in all f...

if anyone kno any agent n their phone Numbers please post here as we really need to expose their faces as they have mugged students and are still in uk enjoyin in their ostentatious cars. nazmul----07837992224.......and monour-------07957500166. ......they used to charge 2200 to 1600 for ccl colleg...

Guys, I don't know how appropriate it is posting somebody's phone number on this message board, unless it is already in the public domain. Exposee or otherwise, it probably isn't the right way to go about things.

Hi there my husband who I am separated from since June is due for his ILR in March. We do not live together anymore and I receive public funds. He does odd jobs but doesn't pay any tax, so is technically not working. If I was to support his application, and thereby stating that we are in fact still...

I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking that. It then raises the question about how it wasn't picked up at the airport on her return to the UK.

Nirooo - what is your mother's current status in the UK? Is she working? Or is she here as your dependant?

I'm a little confused. If she had ILR and then left the country for 7-8 years, then doesn't she lose her ILR given that she did not spend the requisite period of time in any year within the UK? Or am I thinking of something else here?

Thanku. Similarly I jus have one more doubt whether Resume is required or not. My frnds have submitted it. Is it needed..i didnt find even this in the guidelines I don't believe a CV or Resume is needed. I would stick to the information requested on the form. What information would a resume give th...

The guidelines generall recommend applying 4-6 weeks before the expiry of the visa. If you have extenuating circumstances, e.g. a trip abroad planned in November '09, then you can still apply early providing you justify your reasons for doing so. That would be the general opinion, although I have he...

also is the list of dcouments correct

I believe so, assuming you are not required to provide any other evidence and that your evidence proves your claimed points. Good Luck!

Hi, I have come across a few doubts on the application form. I have listed down a few doubts so that everyone can benefit it. 1. Do i use Tier 1 general version 11/08 form for HSMP extension (NOT COVERED BY JR) 2. if you dont have any dependants or if there is any section that we dont need to fill,...

I've applied for extension of my existing HSMP under Tier 1 (G). Application sent 17/01/2009. Plan: Spend next 4 - 6 weeks worrying about the outcome! :( Omerabdul - your application sounds very positive. I only hope mine is decided equally as promptly! drjabber.. Good luck to you.. And do update w...

Hi All I applied for Working Holiday Maker in 2002 which was refused. I appealed which was succesful in 2003. But the UK High Commission in India issued me a 6 Month visitor Visa by Mistake. I came to UK on that Visa in Aug 2003 and then submitted my application 3 days later to the Home office to c...

My personal opinions are:

1) 01/01/2008 - 31/12/2008
2) Yes. 2 passport sized photos need to be submitted in line with the guidance.
3)Not necessarily, but I would submit it in any case.

Good Luck.
