residential requirements

Is letter from the employer must to prove the residential requirements? Would copy of the passport enough? I work through my own limited company, so my own company is my employer. So, certificate if any need to be issued by me.

Migrating back - UK to India

Has anyone, after working for few years in the UK, considered returning back to India? Can you share your experience, what motivated you to return, and how you handled the return / re-settlement?

Entry stamp codes on passport

I have been traveling few times outside UK. When I had LLR, on entry to UK, I observe that the immigration officer had stamped the passport with code *(6001)* once and *(5293)* another time. After obtaining my ILR, I went out of UK for about two weeks and returned. I find that that the the immigrati...

Valid HSMP and ILR

On my passport, there is a HSMP visa valid upto 2011 March. I have recently got ILR on my passport. While giving the ILR, they have not cancelled the HSMP. I understand that new visa supercedes the old one. If I travel abroad, while returning to UK, is there a risk of immigartion officials giving th...

ILR Approval letter

When ILR is granted, would there be separate approval letter issued for the main applicant and each dependent? What is the significance of this approval letter, is this to be preserved as proof of approval (or) the ILR stamp on the passport is just enough to prove the ILR status?

So, majority of the respondents appear to have voted for points based system for citizenship and to control the immigration such as putting cap on the numbers. The idea of 'volunteering' appears not favoured by many.

If these proposals are accepted, any idea when this woud be effective?

Sorry for the confusion. I reread the guidelines and have updated my posts.

If one has moved from HSMP to Tier 1, it appears such candidates are also eligible to apply for ILR under HSMP JR.

Switching back is necessary only if the candidate has moved to another catagory other than HSMP/Tier1.

Re: ILR under HSMP JR but Tier 1 (General) stamp on PP

The rule says that to be condidered under HSMP JR, you should be in the scheme. it says that it is valid for people with HO approval letter dated before change of plans is April 06. Yes, I think both conditions should be met. (1) HSMP approval before April 2006, and (2) Be in the HSMP / Tier1 Scheme.

I think there was some grace period given within which this conver...

SET(O) excluding long residency

Questions:

(1) When counting 4 years, should we include the date of arrival?
(2) When counting 28 days backwards, should we include ending date?

01 Mar 2010 is the 29th day when counted from 01 Feb (01 Feb included). But you can apply only 28 day earlier, therefore I believe, 02 Feb 2010 is the earliest you can apply. regards If we use the same logic to count 4 years from 1 March 2006 (including 1 March 2006), 4 years end on Feb 28, 2010, i...
