IMHO it's very early. Unless you can back up your early extension with a very valid reason, you'll raise eyebrows and might end up facing the prospect of option C.

The 6 months criteria is for passport and not visa.

If you both are already living together for more than two years, she can apply for Indifinite Leave to Remain as cohabiting partner/couple. YOu both would need to prove your residence in same property by way of 20+ proof of address over 2 years. She has to first switch to a married/partner visa and...

Yes you can

Since she is already in UK on Tier 1 and has more than 6 months leave remaining, she will be able to switch as your partner. you have to apply for a COA to get married in UK. I believe she can continue to work while her application is in process and does not have to leave her job.

There was a time in the past when banks used to offer mortgages on a platter. But those days are gone now. With the financial meltdown and credit crunch, banks have become very risk savvy. As a result in the case of migrant applicants they look for a minimum of either a long term leave (more than a ...

The application form asks if you are currently in receipt of public funds which you are not so you can answer "No". But it is advisable to mention that you had received benefits in the past in the covering letter. Yes it's very important that you pay back the amount. If you have already done so and ...

Yes

Do you have a NI number?

In India; Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad

In UK, it's London, London and London.

Let the peace prevail. :) I don't want to sound condescending but back where we come from offences like overspeeding,copyright/patent/IPR violations may not be a big deal. Though it may be against the law nobody barring some considers them a crime and so not many get stopped when some one witnesses...

You and YOUR suggestions.

Yup, take them on board, will serve you well.

Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr/Rev/Other Confused, I was not trying to take moral high ground here. Only made a suggestion to the poster and it was only in his best interests since you yourself are very sure that FT has all the resources to track down any individual. As for you telling me not to bother, how ir...

tvn_ramesh,

I know you had good intentions but you've blatantly violated FT's copyrights by pasting this article here. I suggest you remove this.

How come your payslips don't have any tax deductions details? You must surely be getting P60s from your employer. Do you have those? Did you carry them with you to the PEO? If yes, you could have submitted them and that might have done the job. Correct me if I am wrong but I guess you entered UK on ...

No problem. Good luck.

Thanks .But the form HSMP Tier1 (HSMP) is missing (even though there is a link for the form).. BTW, here is a statement : If you are successful, we will grant you either three years' leave or enough leave to take you to the settlement threshold, whichever is the greater. So ,shdn't i had been given...

I am due for extension in 2011 ,but planning to do it next year(2010) due to uncertain conditions.. NO,i was not given extension till ILR during my 1st extension..I fall short by 2 months so have to go for 2nd one..Dont know i will get 2nd extension or not...I am hpoing that i am covered by HSMP JR...

I saw the deadline on Tier 1 extension form.. Can you please let me know where can i find HSMP -FLR form? Also now i have Tier1 and not HSMP ,so not sure if i can use that form? Here's the link I'm pretty sure you come under JR for your second extension as well since your HSMP was issued prior to 7...

You will be covered by the JR during your second extension as well. Just use the FLR(HSMP) form to apply.

BTW where did you see the July 2009 deadline?

Ashish,

When are you due for second extension?

Were you not given enough extension the first time to cover the period for settlement ?

Has the application been returned to you as yet? If not you still are legally allowed to work. If yes and if you haven't been granted further leave to remain then it's bad news. You are normally given 28 days to leave the country. Did you provide the wrong card details ? If it's the HO that made a m...

This questions means I quote "Do you have a valid LTR?".

If your answer is "yes" for this question then answer "no" to the above question.

At the end of the day it's still left to the discretion of the case worker whether or not to grant you ILR if you have crossed the maximum number of days of absence. If you are away for 12 months albeit for work I feel you'll be stretching your luck too far. This is even if you produce the employer'...

You should be OK as long as you can prove that you were paid in the UK and this was an official trip initiated by your employer. A letter from them will help as well.
