But more than 120 days of this , is paid leave . could you please advice me, as long as i clearly show most of these absence is paid leave .that should be oka...

Thanks a lot Vinny... When I've checked this http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/partners-other-family/english-tests-partners.pdf There is no A1 level for IELTS. the minimum they show is B1 and it's 4.0 for IELTS. so that'd be more than enough I believe... Note that A1 is also re...

Thanks a lot once again sushdmehta. This is interesting. If I understand right, that means, I can get my ILR and she would do nothing for the moment and later she can get her extension... Possible, but you will need two separate appointments - one for you (ILR) and then another for your wife (FLR). ...

Thanks for info xyz123. I was on WP but since 2008 I'm on Tier 1 General. She's come as my dependant on Tier 1 last year. So If we I want to apply in person at croydon, she can't come with me and apply ?

Hi, I have a quick question about dependant. I will be ready to apply mid April for ILR. My wife and I got married last year September. So she hasn't been living with me for 2 years. She can apply with me but only on FLR (M)? and she doesn't need to pass life in uk test or anything at this stage, ri...

Lovely, thank you very much sushdmehta

You have been in UK as a WP and Tier 1 migrant so it doesn't apply to you.

Hi, I was looking at naturalization on ukba website and reading the guidance, I read this Evidence of exercising Treaty Rights for 5 years • P60 tax certificates covering the relevant period of 5 years So do we need to be working after getting ILR? I mean of course I can imagine it's better than n...

I came uk 2006 may with WP. Switched to Tier 1 on August 2008. No HSMP at all.. So will I be able to ...

I apologise if I'm panicking for nothing. I just want to have your opinion as well. I came uk 2006 may with WP. Switched to Tier 1 on August 2008. No HSMP at all.. So will I be able to get 30 points for bachelor degree for qualifications ? Because for a second, when i was reading paragraph 13, b, ii...

On behalf of a friend of mine;

IGS to Tier 1 General
Applied 8th October
Approved 22th October
Received 24th October

No UT. He was shocked seeing his papers at home today after he heard mine 2.5 month waiting. He wasn't expecting it so soon, neiter me....

Congrats mate

You can't talk to your caseworker like that... Try to not to ask this on the phone. Caseworker will only contact you if they need an extra paper or something... People talked to their caseworker on this forum received an email or call from caseworker... All the best... Hi , I called CC .....same ans...

Don't panic guys.. It's been only 1 month, don't expect to hear anything solid before 6-7 weeks... I know it's a tough wait but don't worry

Both of them accepted. My opinion get the GT. Listening and Speaking is the same but reading and half of the writing is easier on GT...

I think I was right about my assumption;

It says Tier 2....which is replacing WP...

Yeah but the news are a bit unclear. To be honest, it doesn't tell Tier 1 nor highly skilled migrants. I believe and humbly assumpt this is more toward to WP issues. Because it mentions specificly before hiring someone, employers have to do a job sarch in national market and give reasons why they ca...

Try to get them stamped by a branch...

To all people waiting for a long time... Don't be upset, I'm quite sure it's all good... I agree with the comment that people who applied in the last week of June suffering from this a lot. But if there was a problem it'd be earlier notified to you, dont worry

http://www.ielts-exam.net/ http://www.ielts-blog.com/ Also I bought cambridge ielts 6 or 7 book with audio cd. I can't remember which one it was. But it was worth every penny to be honest. It gives you a great idea of the test. The whole thing about IELTS, you are against time. You have to do it qui...

Yeah take the IELTS GT. I had that as well...

I do belive it's more related to approval-stamped date times which we don't know until we get docs back of couse... Because not every case neither every cw is same...

Congrats man :) The wait was worth for it :) Lot of people got their passports back today with T1 stamped. Today is really a great day ... and also Indian festival day ... Ganesh chaturthi:). Let me also bring the good news. It took exactly 3 months for me to get my passport back with T1 stamped :) ...

Thank you my friend, I do belive yours is on the way as well

Basicly for the 12 months period I had 3-4 months missing in my bank statements. I asked for that period from barclays and they sent it in a few days but on a white paper printed with no stamp or no logo... I do believe I had to go to a branch and get a stamp on them for authenticy... I hope this ma...
