It says if you are ordinarily settled in UK for 3 years, you are subject to home fee. Hope this is th...

I would get legal advice on this one. The letter of the law, as far as I'm aware, would insist that new evidence must not be submitted. However, there are frequent case-reports on this site of people submitting additional evidence and getting away with it, so there may be a valid legal precedent to...

Hi, As far as I know, spending 5 years total in UK (Tier 1, Tier 2 or combination) is enough to be eligible for ILR. And the counter for 5 years is reset if you stay outside UK more than 3 months. Is this rule still valid? And can anyone please give me an official Home Office website link which clea...

Hi, As you all know, previously HSMP was being issued for 2 years, then the extension was for 3 years, to allow people apply for ILR. Under current rules, Tier 1 first issued for 3 years and extension is for 2 years. If an HSMP owner applies for extension, he'll get 2 years extension under current r...
