I was about to make a post on this topic, but on searching the forum I realised someone already did 2 months ago. So no need to start a new one, I can just add my opinion here. I must say that it was interesting reading this thread with the arguments for and against the increase. • Everyone should p...

UKVCAS service centres will not start opening for appointment from 1st June. I guess not appointments will be available in the first couple of weeks of reopening as they will still be maintaining social distance as they reopen.

Though I need a few months of dependant visa still I've to apply 3 years visa cost's around £2500+ (Visa fee + IHS + Sopra Appointment). On top, I've to pa...

Thanks for the response CR001. I came to UK on Tier 2 General visa (3 years). Applied for an extension and then for ILR (in UK). Does all the three applications qualify for immigration applications? As per the immigration details, does application ID/Visa/BRP ID and submitted date suffice? Also, is...

And I want to add that you will have to pay tax to the HMRC on that your "hefty pay". This is because you will need to remain a UK resident while working abroad, if you intend to apply for citizenship 6 months later. So if you decide to take the job, you might need to notify HMRC. Avoiding to pay yo...

Hi All, Can someone please provide some guidance? Did your sponsor inform the UKVI after each TUPE. As someone under immigration control TUPE is not enough. Your sponsor will need to contact UKVI and inform them about change of sponsor. And update the SMS. If all the necessary steps have been taken...

Hello All, Need some guidance on my situation with TUPE. I’m in the process of applying ILR for myself, wife and son.

Hello All,

i just want to clarify that i am eligible for Naturalisation but i have received school fine in march 2020. do i have to declare in AN form.

Can you please advice and thanks in advance.

What do you mean by school fine? can you explain more?

Thank you for your response. I understand it would not be automatic. However, do you think I can try to extend via contacting UKBA? Any such situations that you are aware of ? Cause the application fee was not cheap anyway, do not want to spend the money in re-applying again . If you are going to c...

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that the extra shift (bank shift) have different pay slip because we are being paid by the same employer weekly for that. Does this matter? it doesn't matter if you have a different payslip for the extra hours. As long as you are with the same sponsor a...

Thanks for the feedback - it doesn't sound very encouraging!

The HMPO staff are human beings whose health and well being come should be put above any passport. So yes, the updates might not be encouraging, Covid-19 is affecting everyone one way or another. we all have to be patient.

Hi, Thanks for the link to the Home Office's sponsorship guidance on Merger and Takeovers. I also looked at all the examples (page 204-206). The closest example to my case is Example 7 (page 206): Example 7 - restructuring where another branch can act as sponsor Global Company G owns a portfolio of...

Hello, I need clarification please. I am a registered nurse working with the NHS as my sponsor. The contracted weekly hours is 37.5, however, I do pick up extra shifts (bank shifts) of more than 20 hours a week with same employer. Is that a problem, since the extra shift is with same employer? PS: ...

Hi all, Can anyone help to share your experiences or give your advice on the situation below? I currently work in Company A with a T2 general visa. Company A has a plan to sell its business. Company B is a sister company of A in UK and they all belong to a same large group G. Both A and B have spon...

I heard from a recruiter saying visa application is blocked at the moment due to home office is closed. wondering if it is the case or they meant the visa centres for biometrics enrolment closed which delays visa application? My current tier 2 visa is going to be due in July 2020. My employer is go...

Any more help or advice?? Please would be very great full :( just a step into what to do or what could happen!? If your solicitor could reach out to him and settle out of court, that might be quick especially when it looks like the security guy might be broke and looking to milk on the case. Otherw...

I think the annoying think about this case is that it has taken 1 year 9 months to receive a written charge letter. could the issue have been resolved by apologising to the security guy? Maybe . I guess that is irrelevant now or too late now. With respect to your application. You can write a cover l...

This has no effect on your application. For British passport, HMPO will only issue passport if your name matches your current passport While a name change does not necessarily have an impact on the application. I think a fundamental question is why does the OP keep changing names? Again this is not...

My daughter is on tier 2 dependent. She is almost 1 year old. My wife and I have recently granted for ILR. Before the ILR, I was on tier 2 and my wife was on tier 2 dependent. Ok. That's clear now. Looking at the financial implication, I will advise you to register her as BC using form MN1. https:/...

My daughter was born in the UK and currently holding Tier 2 visa. She has a Hong Kong passport. I was recently granted for ILR and want to apply BC for my daughter. For the BC application, it can take up to half a year. However, during this half a year, she may need to travel in and out the UK. Her...

If you applied already, you have to wait and see what happens. Technically, they can't exercise discretion and you must be in the UK at the beginning of the qualifying period relied upon. However, they sometimes contact the applicant and offer the option to sign a document to change the qualifying ...

Hence im trying to see where is this +/- several days thing coming from to be honest. The guidance is just that; guidance. I have quoted the specific section of the law that applies in this case above. The margin is to prevent a sloppy caseworker from miscalculating, rejecting your application and ...
