As we are not yet ready with the documents to attend the interview on 12-11-2012 she tried to call UKBA to cancel the appointment but not able t...

Just tried booking online now, using 2 accounts for 20 Dec, I filled in a slot for Birmingham and Croydon... but on submitting both, both came up with Error messages.

Hi, MY first HSMP was granted from 10/01/2008 to 10/01/2010. I have entered UK on 10/01/2008 for the first time. Later I have extended my visa on Tier1 with date of issue 11/01/2010 to valid until 11/01/2013. When can I apply for ILR the earliest ? I am thinking to apply on 13/12/2012 or 14/12/2012...

Hi, Need some advice, very worried. I am quite stressful after the arrival of these new rules. I am maintaining funds in UK for my deendants (2) from 6 jan 2012 so that they could apply dependant visa in April 2012 from outside UK. Just come to know that from April 2012, maintenance fund will rise ...

Your 5 years ILR eligibility starts from your date of first entry into the UK which in your case is the 20th of Feb am afraid so the earliest you can apply will be around the same date in January

In SECTION 6 - IMMIGRATION HISTORY there are two questions I am not sure how to answer: 6.1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based. I got UK Visa on 16/01...

I am currently in UK on the HSMP visa, approval obtained after April 2006 but before November 7 2006. I have 3 kids all born here, I understand that they are not subject to immigration control as long as they do not leave the country. Can I exclude them from my ILR application? I believe you can ex...

Sorry to hijack your thread, just thought I might as well ask my Question here rather than creating a new thread. I have seen a lot of refrence to including 5 years P60 in ILR application, Is there anywhere in the Guidiance not where it says to include 5 years worth of P60? Not trying to be Over Con...

Casa can you expanciate on this, as to my understanding the OP needs to wait for 12 months before applying albeit the 28 days before eligibility date.

Hi All, Can someone please shed some light on the above suggestion, According to the Statement Of ChangeS In ImmIgratIOn ruleS Document Laid before Parliament on 16 March 2011 under section 3(2) of the Immigration Act 1971. It Clearly state you can achieve ILR after 5 lawful Years continuous residen...

Not that am aware of and the Draft Guidance note says nothing about this either.

My understanding is, they will consider minimum critera to qualify not the salary level. For example. If I got my visa extended under the salary band 35+ though my requirement was only 30K. I will be able to qualify next time, if my income falls under the band 30, as long as i am qualifying and the...

Who would want to come here if they knew they couldnt settle. I don't quite get that. Of course, it's important for some people. But others want to work in another country, live there, etc, for a while, not forever. Maybe look at it this way: I came to the UK as a student and completed a Master Deg...

For instance the HiPG. If I apply and It was not granted, does that nulifies My Tier 1 Visa. Because The home Office is not very clear about this.
