The baby gets BC only if you are an ILR holder.

As for benefits, it's whatever the EC page on your passport says and I m pretty sure it's a big "No recourse to public funds".

Are you in UK? I thought you already received an answer to your query in a previous post.

Your earlier post

basically you need to score 75 points to gain an extension mate. Your pay packet should be in the range such that it facilitates this.

Hello, My cousin is here in the UK on a Holiday Workmaker Visa, he will be completing 12 months in December, and has 12 months left. As per the new tier system introduced, I am aware that this Visa no longer exists. My question is: Can he still convert or switch to a work permit from within the UK?...

Though the difference isn't much, he may very well be questioned about it . If it's a genuine case of pay cut because of say the economic climate, he should get a letter from the employer to this effect, which again might be difficult to obtain.

How much is the disparity in his salary ? Does he pay NI and tax?

In that case you can apply uplift ratio only to your Indian salary.

I don't get it. You say you received UK per diem while you were in Turkey ? Was that GBP? How can you get payslips for per diem? because that's what it's supposed to be, per diem and not salary. You were on a business visa and if you have worked on that visa, then you have most likely flouted the vi...

Does your per diem appear in your payslips? I doubt it does.

You must be kidding me. Don't you read the news. The UK housing and construction industry is facing its worst slump in decades. Thousands of jobs have and are being lost. Better to stick with your job in India until the situation here becomes normal.

I am coming in March or April. And i dont get discouraged by anything. And thank you for your comments...it really helps. That's the spirit mate! Don't think guys here are scaremongering. They are just making people aware of the job situation here in the UK and it is quite bad. In my colleague's gi...

2) I would be getting my chest X-Ray done, but as my wife is pregnant hence X-ray is not advisable. Will a letter from Doctor advising reason for no X-ray hold good. Your wife need not have her X Ray taken and she doesn't need any letter. I have a kid and she is 18 months old, Do I need Chest X-Ray...

If granted your new visa overrides your previous one.

looks like you've a lot of dosh to fork out.
The answer to your question is, yes you can apply for Tier 1 visa.

What is stopping your wife from settling down with you in Egypt?

Does she have a job in the UK?

Could anybody suggest the best way to get travel insurance for them? Should it be taken from India or UK? They are over 65. Any idea about the premium for 5/6 months? It costs around 5 to 10 grand (in Indian rupees), I reckon. It depends on the level of cover your parents require , age and health c...

That's exactly what the OP has done. He has produced false bank statements due to which his WHM was rejected. I m afraid it could be another refusal for him unless the ECO ignores his previous deception.

Finance sector is probably the worst affected as well as the source of the current turmoil. It's only getting worse. Unemployment in UK has almost touched 2m mark.

I read the closed consultation notes on BIA website. On voluntary work, it's been stated that they won't make it mandatory but if anyone engages in such community service, then it would hasten their path to citizenship. What's not clear though is how's the amount of volunteering going to be gauged a...

Yes you can. There is no restriction on taking up a part time job to go along with your full time job. But you may need to inform your current employer about the part time job if it is specified in your appointment letter that you ought to.

On one of my trips I had just a month left on my LTR. The IO at Heathrow (Terminal 3) reminded me this and queried when have I planned to apply for FLR? I told her "in the next day or two.." and then she let me in.

We may not be the most polite people around but we rank high on the hygiene and cleanliness scale. see this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic ... rners.html

I.e. you can travel to France for several days, then come back for another 180 maximum, and then travel to Spain etc., and come back to UK for another 180 maximum. Wishful thinking. The visitor may get away with it once or twice but they can and probably will be refused entry as it would be constru...

You've already been given the correct advice by Vinny. What else are you looking for? You cannot work for your new employer with your old WP's FLR. Ideally you should have your new WP FLR stamped before you start work with your new employer but you can start work if atleast you have sent in your FLR...

D2) From within which country overseas and at which post did the applicant obtain entry clearance or a visa before travelling to the United Kingdom ? What should I write here will it be Chennai/India or Croydon/UK? Please suggest. How can you answer Croydon/UK when the question says "Before travell...
