wanted to share some information For those Dependants who are too tied up with Family and have no time to attend courses, the easiest and safest option will be to pass an IELTS exam with 4 Bands I know its not easy for everyone but at least you can study at home and when its convenient for you What...

Has she ever had a visa before or it's the first time you're gonna apply for her T1 Dependant visa?
If she has never had a visa then you don't have to apply for her T1G dependant visa unless she's travelling.

The Pass Notification Letter for the Life in the UK test provides that "Following your test today in knowledge of life in the United Kingdom this is to certify that you have reached the level required for the purposes of obtaining indefinite leave to remain under the Immigration Rules or for natura...

Just wanted to update you that one of friend got approval from Solihull today with 60 days(Total) absence all were vaccation , no letters were asked. Also want to inform that process in Solihull now changed (payment before Caseworker looks the case) I think people missed this post!! Great news .. E...

Guys, don't stress yourself too much by reading the responses from UKBA. Unlike WP/T2, HSMP/T1 was never required to be working all year around so unpaid leave would never break continuity of your stay. From experience I can tell you, don't read too much into UKBA's responses either, half the time ...

so what would you say now????? coz of u i booked in croydon...as u said solihill are taking payment upfront http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=131972 I'd still say the same thing, my friend was charged beforehand on 8th. If they follow the book they have to charge you beforehand, for ...

Waste of my (and all yours) money...

I fail to see the difference between highly skilled migrants', but in the guidance 'Highly Skilled Migrants'.

That's good news. How are they going to adjust this £ 100, for applicants who booked before 06/04 and are going for appointments after 06/04. They'll charge you £100 less if you've already paid for your appointment. If you booked appointment before 6th of April and haven't paid by the time you have...

Updated: If you can look closely, it doesn't mention Tier 1 (General)[/color] Well, that's the problem, isn't it? The rule says that except for periods in the listed categories (Tier 1 general is not one of them, so this applies to us), any absences must be related to employment in the UK blah blah...

Hi Kevin, I have those documents but they are not fully 2 years. They are just one and half years only. Regards, You don't need each documents covering full 2 years. You can spread and choose your 6 specific months over the last 2 years. One doc (on both names) or two docs (one on each of your name...

Another ridiculous response from UKBA: ***************************************** m: Settlement Ops Policy Mailbox UK Border Agency 10 April 2013 Dear Sir, Paragraph 245AAA of the Immigration rules refers: (c) Except for periods where the applicant had leave as a Tier 1(Investor) Migrant, a Tier 1(E...

Does this mean as-long-as we are under the 180 days things must be fine (hope) I wouldn't go as far as saying that but you deffo need letters from employers detailing your absences from the UK (or at the very least, letters confirming you being on paid/unpaid holidays + personal letter detailing th...

Guys, Evidence in the form of a letter from the employer setting out the reasons for the absences, including annual leave, must be provided. Is on page 20 of guidance. Take a printout of guidance and show them. There is nothing mentioning period of leave, its only absence. If they are making up rul...

I'm not even a least bit bothered tbh. I have had total of two absences from the UK during 5 years. For one I was employed and had to leave the country because of my mother's death and for the second one I wasn't employed so I have just written a letter myself stating the fact that I was absent fro...

But it is said 'evidence required' not just an explanation. If we have taken a personal leave outside UK (say for a trip to bahamas) what is the evidence and reason here ? By evidence I understand may be the in/out timestamps in passport Reason ? Letters from shops and restaurants owners you visite...

Yes. The salary is £10000 higher than even the new code experienced rate. That's excellent. Now try to convince these guys with out buying any knives :D Some how get this letter. Do you have any friend who went to a PEO appointment recently. You could borrow that letter and show it to HR. I think t...
