Thanks for the reply. I may be wrong but it seems to be about "First application date for Highly Skilled Visa" but not clear which date it refers to for the ppl with HSMP visa initially (ie. application date for Aproval Letter OR application date for entry clearance). I think that would be the form...

Thanks Sushdmehta! I couldn't find the information there though. Will attempt searching in other places.

Which category would that fall under - 1 or 2? A doctor-in-training who was on the Postgraduate Doctor and Dentist Visa for the Foundation Programme and has been given a place for further training in a speciality?

Thank you.

Until such time that the government issues a statement of change in the parliament or announces the exact details of changes in the immigration rules and issues a revised policy guidance, any statement made in the said document is subject to individual interpretation! So, in my humble opinion, bein...

Does this guidance apply to for those through Umbrellas? That is aimed at those who operate through an umbrella company, I think. The net income will be expense minus i.e suppose you earn 100 pounds and make an expense of 30 pounds now your taxable income will be 100-30=70 . On 70 pounds you will p...

I would really appreciate some advice or thoughts on that as I am seriously considering doing that too.

Thank you.

According to the guidance, If the applicant is a contractor who does not operate either through his/her own company or as an employee, he/she may provide an accountant’s letter confirming a breakdown of his/her gross and net earnings for the period claimed and personal bank statements clearly high...

It is.

PAYE, umbrella companies and limited companies all have different hourly rates, costs and nett rates. I would appreciate some input and advice from those with experience contracting on which route is the most cost-effective, gives the best nett rates and the least complicated for someone who may be ...

as for part time jobs, i'm in london and have been searching for a few months, even those have so much competition. i either never hear at all or mostly get regret letters. i remember i once applied to work as a customer service assistant in our local boots pharmacy store, i got a response from the...

Why's that? I'm curious.

I agree. They're awful. Signing up is time consuming and everytime I attempted to do one I was informed that it was full.

As Idea suggested, there are calculators available that will help you calculate the exact amount you can get after deductions, but it is significantly less after deductions.

Great I have received my postal application but there's a section for dates in and out of the UK, which is a bit of a problem for me as I do not have my old passports with me and have been in and out many times. There must be others who have faced a similar predicament? My question is whether approx...

hahaha.... thanks. Though I must admit I'm surprised, I expected at least the broadsheet newspapers to have some decent advertisements. I couldn't really find any though.

Thought it might be worthwhile to buy newspapers regularly for the classifieds. Which are typically the better ones for job advertisements e.g. the ones with more advertisements or which attract advertisements from the larger companies?

Or should I not bother with newspapers at all?

Thank you.

That does make sense. Thank you, John!

What documents are required to apply for an NI number at JobCentres for a jobseeker? The quantity of documents listed on http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTAxCreditsAndOtherSupport/BeginnersGuideToBenefits/DG_10014073 for proof of identity is rather subjective. Can someone with...

Annoying, isn't it? I get that too from some agents.

Trouble is, some may have genuine vacancies despite being hardwired to fish. I once refused to disclose those details to an agency which subsequently arranged to send me to a company I had already been sent to by another agency. It got messy.

OP, What does being Polish have to do with it? You may be surprised, but things are tough on a lot of people, you're not alone there. Many of us find ourselves out of decent employment too. I will assume that most of your rant is due to frustration and not some ingrained prejudices and controversial...

Thank you, I'd really rather not go through the hassle of another x-ray.

I was given the all clear at the time of screening and I'm not from one of the countries listed in the TB thread

I'm on a Tier 1 General visa which allows multiple entries. On my initial entry, I was sent to Health Control at Heathrow where they did a checkup and x-ray - I had not brought one with me as it was a short one week trip for personal reasons but despite showing them my return ticket and hotel reserv...
