Hi, Just a very quick question. I will be travelling with family to Pakistan in December for one month. I have one expired passport while my wife has two expired passports. Both of our expired passports have our initial entry clearance but now we both have BRPs. Is it mandatory to keep old expired p...

You have done the right thing by contacting the e-mail address mentioned on the biometrics letter. They take days to respond. You do not worry if the time to enrol biometric lapse as UKVI send second reminder as well to enrol biometrics with an additional 15 days. Just keep chasing them. This will b...

Apologise, I missed that bit.

You are correct, according to the statement there, she only needs to show £18,600.

I will leave it to senior members to confirm.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi, Was this (applicationexceptions@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk) email address mentioned on the biometrics letter you received. If no, then contact on the address mentioned on the biometrics letter. Please, keep in mind that they take days to respond. Did you try to phone UKVI Customer Service to seek adv...

Hi,

As she has other dependent children, therefore, income requirement should be higher than £18,600.

It should be £18,600 + £3,800 (for first child) + £2,400 (for each child after first child)

Hi,

You should declare that even it was more than 10 years ago.

The question has been changed since last year. They used to ask about last 10 years refusal now they ask for any refusals anytime.

Thanks,
Hassan

Another problem is there is nothing in immigration rules about this. This can only be found in the NHS guidance so pretty much everything confusing on this so far.

Thanks

I have found a new draft guidance available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-overseas-visitors-hospital-charging-regulations#history but the new guidance says that it will not be effective until 21st August. Not sure if the rules be applicable after 21st August. I would a...

where the guidance say that the child MAY have to pay for nhs charges after 3 months if he doesnt have a visa.

Hi iworker,

Is it in official Home Office Guidance or in the NHS one? As I could only find this information in NHS internal guidance?

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi, Apologies to ask the question in this post but I believe this is also related to OP question. Can the child also use NHS beyond three months? I am referring to Casa's response in the below post. https://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tier-2-employer-sponsored-visas/immigration-health-surcharge-for...

so an update thus far - we still have not got a curtailment letter and send SAR request to Home office, hoping it might reveal the current status? would this provide clarity whether the curtailment letter was issues or not, and whether a person might be an overstayer? Yes it will show the current i...

As you have mentioned sometime case worker would accept 70 or 80 days gap for ILR and not more than that are there any such cases you have seen and on what basis they usually accept? Can you provide more information regarding this statement like UKVI sites references etc. Hi, There are no such refe...

If a child is over 3 months old and without a visa, any NHS services will be charged at 150% of the costs. HI, This has given me too much stress. Are you sure this applies to babies of Tier 2 migrants as well? My son was born in July 2016 and we did not apply for his visa yet as we were not plannin...

Hi, You are confusing things. If you are salary is lower than 30K then you will not be awarded points for Rate of Pay and hence will be a reason for refusal. Check paragraph 26.8 on page 111 in Tier 2 Policy Guidance. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/616206/T...

So it will come down to less than 30K if less hours? Am I right? No 30K is the absolute minimum you should be getting paid at the time of extension. No matter how many number of hours you do. Extension Requirement is 30k or Minimum required for the respective SOC (whichever is higher). Thanks, Hassan

Hi,

35K is the minimum salary requirement of ILR and it has nothing to do with number of hours.

Thanks,

No, But they should be able to provide copies of those to HO upon request.

And obviously, they should be giving payslips to Employee.

Thanks,

The other question is; if they check my historical salary via P60 or Tax website and see I was earning lower will this cause an issue or 6 months payrise will be fine? Thanks.

This won't be issue as long as you are paid what is mentioned on your last COS.

Thanks,

It is just required to be matched a month before the ILR. You will have to submit one month payslip in order to prove that you meet the salary requirement. Please, bear in mind if the pay rise is too high and only done shortly before the ILR then your ILR application will be more scrutinized. Thanks...

Hi ,

New Entrant Salary is valid for three years only. After three years you should be paid Experienced level salary no matter your visa is valid for three years or 5 years.

Thanks,

shall we proceed ahead with assigning cos and ask him to apply his visa?

Yes, as UKVI has also confirmed this to you. This should not have any effect on the prospective employee visa application.

Thanks

We are well within the 15 working day deadline. Then give biometrics immediately. It looks like application has not been decided and once she enrols her biometrics, she will hopefully get ILR. Regarding, the letter received by your employer, is it from Home Office advising them your wife is not all...

Now I have secured another increment to raise my salary to 36K, which will be applicable from next month.

Make sure this time your employer report this change within 10 working days from the applicable date.

Thanks

Hi, The letter which was sent to you was for biometric enrolment which is part of every visa application. It has nothing to do with Biometric Passports. Every applicant has to enrol biometrics in order to get Biometric Resident Permit. Your wife should have enrolled her biometrics when requested as ...

Hi, You should be ok as one becomes eligible for 10 years ILR within 28 days of completing 10 years. You do not need to spend 10 years exactly. You can apply for ILR within 28 days of 5th Oct 2019. You are ok with your absences so far. Make sure within the next two and a half year your do not have a...
