Thanks for correcting me sushdmehta - it makes it a lot better for those applying. I had a friend whose wife was in the UK for a few years before they got married but changed her visa post marriage becoming his dependant. Unfortunately for him, they did not entertain his application as dependant did...
Hi Mate, Congrats first and I know you had a great sigh of relief!! You said you changed two employers on Work Permits. Did he ask for all the P60's for last 5 years or just the employee letters. Regards, Venkat No, I changed employment ONCE and that too when on Tier 1. However, all 5 P60s were ask...
Its a very simple process. There are many companies who can do the CRB check on your behalf - remember you cannot request one from the govt directly yourself, its only potential employers who can request for one. However, a provision has been made to allow anyone to get themselves checked and the wa...
I did not get any FPN on a counterpart as I was driving on International license and my case was referred by DVLA to the court because they dont have processes to deal with international drivers. Section 7.1 clearly asks if we have any Criminal Convictions with a foot note that says spent conviction...
When it comes down to the actual letter of the law, you, unfortunately do not qualify. Technically you have been here for 5 years BUT as a dependant applicant, you do not meet the so required siper-set rules of applying AS a dependant. To clarify further, for a main applicant to apply for a dependan...
Hi All, Finally after a last few days of unwanted anxiety, everything went well and we were granted ILR. Thanks for the advice and answers to all my questions over the last month or two, they have been helpful I - My application I applied for self and my wife having worked on 3 WPs over 3 years and ...
If you have a straightforward case and all required evidence, then this process is just about filling a form and getting it done - there is nothing more a solicitor can do to increase your chances of being successful If, however, you have a complicated case, missing documentation or have troubles fi...
Great, thanks for the reply......I have crossed every limb in my body for tomorrow though I am optimistic it will be quite plain sailing with the prep work I have done
Congrats on the ILR, straight forward cases do bring a smile to the caseworker as there is not much to work around and verify so its always a welcome sight for them I had a few quick questions 1. Did they ask for payslips, P60s and bank statements as income proof? I plan to only submit P60s, HMRC le...
Is that dividend not an income for you? Doesnt that amount help towards monthly expenses? It does and so it is you monthly income and hence you need to add all sources from where you get income and put the total figure of £3000. If there was a separate section for income from other sources then tha...
As per the latest guidelines on calculating continuous stay in the UK, it clearly states the below Calculation of the five year period for settlement When assessing if an applicant has met the criteria for five years continuous residence in the UK, short absences abroad may be disregarded, provided ...
I know this seems radical but anyone who thinks this wasnt going to happen soon is really just fooling themselves. We are all now some of the last few who will get the chance to settle in the UK and the transition has begun. Almost all countries have made it impossible, if not stopped completely, th...
Hi All, Been contributing to and seeking advice from this forum for many years now. Anyways, with everything in place, forms filled and documentation in hand, the only niggling worry is my 195 days out over 5 years with nothing over 90 days at a stretch. However, of these Days out on Business Trips ...
If you have your last 3 statements showing salary paid, preferably highlighting employer name and carry the original contract you should be fine as this is ample proof that you are working for the company. Try to time your application as soon as you receive your salary/ bank statement to prove you a...
Hello and thank you everyone for the advice. I have another meeting with my supervisors boss Tuesday to discuss all of this. I don't care if he doesn't like it... My company doesn't have an HR department and his supervisor is the closest thing I have. I agree that this is probably going to end up w...
Always take advice from us members with a pinch of salt. I say this because job hunting and bagging that great offer is all very dependant on the candidate in question. A really quick look on Cityjobs throws up so many BA roles - both contracts and perm roles with salaries from as low as £35k to as...
I have seen here m any guys said that travel dates not counted.. could you please confirm this .. and where is written ? ... I didnt find any piece of paper on the home office website says that ... I have 175 days absence and if I will exclude travel dates they will be 144 !!!! It may be quoted som...
I was just reading through and I'd just like to ask. This sort of company taking cuts on salaries just to provide a CoS, is this not exploitation of workers? A one-off fee is ok but continuously taking a percentage of the workers' pay?! Well thats how they make money and run a business - thats the ...
trust me, the first lawyer was rubbish - many with over 180 days and most of Annual Leave have applied in person and been successful. In your case, any lawyer can make a strong case for you without any trouble at all. Good for you to take a second opinion and to go ahead - dont worry at all. If it w...
Well, from the 4 points you put and asked, it sure seems like you werent clear of your objectives. If your extension is secured with either roles then my advice would be to take the London contract offer 1. Contract pays decent 2. Possible 12 month duration which is not common 3. Further options for...
you are still not clear on what your end goal is here 1. Are you ensuring you have sufficient points and earnings for extension/PR - if so, the 12 month contract achieves that and a lot more. Do not calculate salary after tax. Everything here looks at your total package without any tax deductions 2....
Its generally good to have the letter dated within the last 30days however the reason there is no guidelines is because you will be showing proof for salary earned in the past few months and if its the same employer its clear that the employer letter is still valid as they are still paying you a sal...
Agree with Sky_High, you need to personally assess the market given you are an experienced candidate so will have your own skill set which may or may not be highly regarded in the UK market - and only you can find that out Further, 9 years in Supply Chain is good though I can give absolutely no cred...
I have been using money2india from icici for many years now and havent had any issues. Minimal fees and very quick transfers with many options - can give it a go. I also know of many others who use this site for regular monthly transfers
UK Business Graduate, working for the market leader of the industry I am in, at a very senior position and drawing quite a handsome Salary.
