Out of interest, how does a degree help get the ECR changed to ECNR? The understanding is that degree holders are educated and lucid and usually emigrate to take up skilled / highly skilled jobs abroad. In the case of low skilled and semi skilled labour migrants who do not hold degrees, the authori...

So there is no room of overseas earnings at the time of FLR?????

What if, My previous company in London, declares that I am working for them and been paid in the Middle East for one of their project.

You do that and you can forget entering UK for the next 10 years

Are you presently in UK?

That's the latest P60 he would have. There are still 4 more days for this year's .

are you only looking at london ? i.e. excluding yourself from jobs in all of the rest of the uk ? Thats the biggest thing ive noticed with people in the UK (citizens and foreigners), is the unwillingness to move around/seek work in other towns In my opinion the tier 1 extension system is partly to ...

No Work Permit amount is not accepted as proof for previous earnings.

Ah You've become a victim of phishing scam. Never divulge your username and password when you are sent one of these dodgy emails.

Have you registered with the local GP ?

Yes Infy == Infosys. The other 3 I guess are TCS, Wipro and Cognizant.

What type of visa are you on?

The reply from HO is pertinent.

and Hari if you are granted the ILR, then your wife and child have to apply for an ILR dependant visa before coming to the UK. Your wife cannot travel in the current visa (HSMP dependant) as that may not be valid anymore after your transformation to ILR category.

14 years long residency applications take years to be processed (2-3 years minimum) and yes the appropriate forums are the General UK Immigration and Immigration for Family Members.

Getting P60 from your employer doesn't necessarily mean they have been paying the correct amount of tax. How long have you been in UK? I suggest you visit ListenToTaxMan.com, enter your gross salary in there and check the amount against your payslip. BTW are you getting a proper UK format payslip fr...

I read in one of the posts that a person was refused entry at the airport since she wasn't accompanied by her husband during her initial entry. You may want to search for this post.
