Hi, While going through the latest Set (O) Form, and under the section to claim points for education, I noticed the following on Page 19 Applications for indefinite leave to remain where you have had leave as a Writer, Composer or Artist, Self-employed Lawyer, or as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under ...
Reading the language around what CRB checks are and having spoken to the person filing my application - a CRB check clearly shows any unspent conviction on your record. The definition of this unspent conviction is universal - so if the govt classifies fines, murders, abuse, robbery as convictions wi...
If you don't mind me asking, what is the purpose of the bank statements? Is it to verify that you have enough funds to sustain yourself or is it to verify the payslip? Many dont realize this but Bank stmts alone can prove a lot for you 1. Monthly income paid into your account - source of income 2. ...
How can anyone tell you which one is the best? Did you google to check most preferred banks in the UK, customer service ratings, deposits, benefits etc???? Everyone will have their own personal favourite - while one person may love Natwest another will say its the worst bank ever :-) Anyway most glo...
You need to be smart about this. You can come here anytime provided the 'main' intention is to hunt for jobs. So while you are hunting for jobs, you can do anything in your spare time such as attending trainings, short courses etc because they all count towards improving your skills. You dont need t...
Your case looks weak even if it were upto caseworker discretion. People overlook the 180 days rule on 5 years with some explanation/evidence but going over 90 days at a stretch literally resets the clock because, as required, 'you were not resident in the UK' and your previous time does not count. H...
Salman, Note that the CRB check will show ANY unspent convictions on your record. UKBA have clearly stated you have declare any unpsent convictions. So whether its traffic violation or robbery, if the CRB check says you dont have unspent convictions, then you really dont have unspent convictions. It...
Salman, If you paid the £200 and they later returned to you, do you know why they did this? The court will not return the fine unless 1. You were not found guilty of that fine 2. Initially found guilty but later ruling changed due to some reason. Either ways, if they returned the amount to you that...
If these are original paylsips then you should be fine but even then, its best to have all bases covered and get the Statement of Earnings from HMRC - why put yourself and your mind in turmoil over this.
You can request now and it will reach you inside of 2 weeks time
Are you serious???? If you have a valid visa, proof of accomodation that puts you in that GPs area of cover, then they cannot say no......the govt sure seems to be losing control of basic amenities in this country...tsk tsk You can always call the NHS and make a complaint against this GP - and you s...
Under current rules too there is a Character requirement - if you read the guidelines on UKBA, it clearly talks of unspent convictions and not having any for ILR. It is not separated out as Criminality requirement but embedded within the Good Character requirement itself. The only statement that mak...
I have just applied for it and it will take about 3 weeks in total to process this information. This is not an instantaneous process and there will be some background checks done. BTW - If your fine was returned to you then this means the fine was revoked so I doubt you have anything to worry about....
To make it simpler, on the Criminal Records Bureau site, click on Umbrella companies then find all approved umbrella companies who can request for a Basic check on your behalf.
Hi, I believe it is possible for a person to request and check if they have any unspent convictions. This is similar to the case where jobs mandate a person to be Security Cleared. The options are 1. Basic security certificate (thats shows unspent convictions) which a person can apply to check their...
Thanks xyz, When I applied for Tier 1 I had not declared Speeding Fine as Criminal Conviction. I also remember asking around and Speeding is only a traffic offence (under certain limit of course). As there was no 'conviction' given in the literal sense of the word, I left it out as it did not equate...
Hi, May I know if one can apply for the Same Day Service if 1. Stay outside UK is slightly over 180 days but never 90 days at a stretch 2. Based on EXISTING rules, had a Speeding Ticket and Court Fine given Also, as per current rules do we need to declare speeding fine as a Criminal conviction? Than...
Thanks xyz - I have a combination of attested online payslips and bank statements to show I was on paid leave plus employer letter stating continuous employment covering all those months I went on leave. I have another big issue now and thats a £120 speeding ticket while legally driving on Internat...
Hi, I have gone through a lot of posts and theres mention of many scenarios of speeding ticket but not clear for International license holders. While legally driving on Int DL in May 2008, I was given a ticket for going at 42mph in a 35mph zone. As there is no record with DVLA, all fines for Interna...
I guess most have questions on what exactly is a criminal conviction and does a speeding ticket constitute a conviction. Been going through a few documents/articles and found the below in the AN Guide on UKBA site for Citizenship We will normally disregard a single conviction for a minor offence res...
Hi All, Just read the proposal of new ILR Rules for Tier 1 Migrant from April 6th 2011 as per Table 2 states * An applicant will be awarded no points for a Bachelor’s degree if: (a) his last grant of entry clearance was as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the rules in place between 31 March 2009 a...
Hi All, Been on the forum for over 2 years mostly active on the Employment sub forum. Now that I will be applying for ILR in the next few months, I have been going through info in this forum. This is what I think is more than enough for get the ILR done based on Set O and applying as Tier 1 General....
Well, there are many factors to consider really but the word 'career prospects' is not right. No matter where you work, once you have local domain experience you will grow. As long as its a developed country or a country on the fast track in a field like India in IT, you will always have a career an...
To add to above post, advance consists of 2 things 1. One month's rent in advance paid when you move in 2. A maximum deposit of 1.5 months rent held in with a legal deposit company like DPS (Deposit Protection Scheme). This is now a mandatory means of holding a persons deposit. There are still some ...
Ajay, Dont take it personally when people talk of salary ranges. Most of the members, including me, work in the IT world and have many years of experience (though Im not 40 yet!). Within the IT world, though competition is tough, there are still jobs that pay extremely well (£70k to £80k and above...
Few points I'd like to add that many seem to miss out when dreaming of contracts and great daily rates - 1. Getting into contracting is not that easy....recruiters tend to pick only those with prior contracting experience. If you dont have one its quite difficult or you may end up getting a really l...
