Yes, you'd have to be careful about the criteria for extension but it's not prohibited.

Question - presumably the fees will be international student fees?

I'm not sure about remittance, but it seems that if your salary slips and letter from your employer have the company's name on it that will do. Is your employer's name as stated on those documents the same as the name of your foreign employer?

When applying for a visa to enter the UK on HSMP status, there is a section 'Current finances and employment' on the application form. I was wondering if it makes a difference if the applicant is employed or unemployed? Then again, employed full-time or employed part-time? Does it matter? I'm employ...

The other thing that you may need to consider that govt is proposing to change the citizenship rules in the near future. Based on the proposals, the ILR will not be granted after 5 years. Instead there will be two routes... one will be to take up the probationary citizenship for at least one year a...

Hi,

I'm pretty new to all these and was wondering what kind of university fees a non-EU national with LTR would have to pay if intending to enter Irish universities? Would it be the same as Irish citizens?

Thanks!

Hi Aussie Bob,

Would you mind elaborating on that, please? Good different or bad different?

Juan,

Thanks for the advice. I hope that everything works out for you. I would like to add though, that your visa should still be valid and you can continue to apply for jobs from ecuador if you still want to. Might get something interesting!

What about summer and after when fresh graduates enter the job market? Wouldn't that have some impact on one's chances of getting a job?

Can someone with ILR in the UK work in the rest of the EU too? Without having to apply for work permits in the other EU countries?

Thanks Nshar1. Yes, that's a great idea. We should compile a list of good and unscrupulous agents here.

I retract that. It's against the rules.

My apologies.

Majic you're a STAR ! Congrats . It's a real booster for people who are on HSMP and trying to find a job in UK from their home country. Probably you can share your experience , other people in the forum can benefit a lot. Congratulations Majic! Without EC, that is some feat! I agree with SKUK, it w...

Thanks for the warning! How do these fake agents get your number? Are they from sites you have registered with?

No, Dublin is in the Republic of Ireland and not the UK.

Hey Asim, Thanks! When do you suggest I send over the fax stating that I want to arrange for courier pickup? I already mentioned it in my cover letter for my application. Not sure which stage it's at - all I have is a reference number and no correspondence yet. When you sent your fax, who did you ad...

call up the HO and ask them to check whether your application is in their system already and ask your bank to notify you immediately when the payment has been charged. then follow-up with both.

Hi,

I checked out MBE Sheffield's website for the courier collection of the documents and realized that the case worker's name and extension number are required.

How and when do we get these details?

Thanks!

Not in the Republic of Ireland but you should be able to in Northern Ireland, no?

Jami,

I was wondering if that applies to HSMP holders as well? Just out of curiosity.

Why the difference in deadlines for different countries? Just wondering....

That's pretty fast! Did they email it to you or did you have to call?

Some update from me: I got mail yesterday saying a decision is taken on my application & docs are sent through airmail by 29th. I made a big mistake, I faxed them jus couple of days back for sending doc through courier (MBE) but probably sud have sent it a week before. I don;t know what is the deci...

thanks, that's a relief. my HR simply used the general company stamp and signed it without including the designation and name of the person signing it. I was going to add it myself but there isn't much space left.

Hi,

I was wondering if it's simply a signature and the general company stamp? Or should it be a specific stamp for example a HR department stamp? Should there also be the person's designation and name?
