Yeah go for the appeal and see what happens. Bear in mind that you committed a serious offence. And whilst it may be hard for you to go back to home realise you didn't think about the people around you when you got in to the car. So, why should a judge allow you to stay here? That is what you need t...

Hi everybody, Does anyone know if a county court claim will affect ILR application? I asked CAB(Citizen Advice Bureau) and was confirmed that as long as it is not a criminal offence, there should be nothing to worry about. Apparently county court does not deal with criminal offenses but i am not 10...

As of 27th November 2008 both parties will need to be 21 or over. So you have a little time to get the application and documents submitted.

Not really, It changed now. ILR can be applied directly, saving £395 pounds applying FLR (M) by post.

Hi Everyone, I got HSMP for 2 years as per old system. Now I want to do FLR in 09 .Wherer will I get full details of it? Does anybody has idea what documents needed for the same?

As I have already mentioned in my previous posts, my mrs's settlement visa has been refused and now we are in process of lodging an appeal against the ECO's decision. I have come up with an idea of sponsoring my wife to UK as a visitor for 6 months of period. Comment by ECO: "I am not satisfied you...

Hello, yes that is correct he entered the UK two months late. Will the ILR qualifying 'clock' start ticking from all over again or will the previous 22 months my husband has completed be counted towards it?

So two payments were made to the loan. That means the debt is outstanding since when the 3rd payment would have been due. They have probably written off the debt but your credit history will be under default and you will be very very lucky to get a bank account open anywhere in the UK with that stat...

Settlement visa.....so do you have family here in the UK?

Au pair is one of the strange roles that are not covered by PBS. The rules in regards au pairs remain the same and will contiue to do so. You can not change to tier 2. Yes it is changing to T5 sub category Youth Mobility Workers. The current Au Pair route will be deleted on 27th November and Au Pai...

Further Leave to Remain

Hi Berkshire, This was suggested by CC, I explained my case in detail to them. My refusal letter says they have considered by stay upto 30th as valid. I am not sure , does my application fit in within 28 days criteria? ( I am not sure what it is?). I am not sure but since my work permit extesion is...

In fact some companies will be looking to get rid of those work permit holders they currently employ. They can't just get ride of people. We have laws in the UK to protect employees. However, when employees on current WP's expire then they will not be able to renew them under T2 with curry's if the...

Another critical issue that shouldn't be overlooked regarding routes to settlement: If companies refuse to buy into PBS (as Curry's has done), then they will only employ British or EEA citizens , those already holding ILR or certain others with limited leave to remain. The Tiers and current work pe...

It appears the ILR will be scrapped to an extent and you will technically only be a temporary resident for up to 6 years. Then after that you will be eligible for permanent residency or citizenship. One or the other and it is at this point that you will be able to access public funds. There will be ...

Almost certainly not a departure stamp. Even when passports are examined by the immigration people on departure, I don't think that they're stamped, are they?
