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. I have been applying for different jobs from my home country (where I am working currently) but it doesnt seem to work. I am expecting at least a 70K job to st...
Oh how I wish I was
I have worked across organisations building solutions over 8 years which is why I repeat the words. I'm in IT but not attached to technology side, more a tech/biz solutions guy ensuring others get my work done...lol
Yes, in many places this is common because essentially a contracting role comes along when a company does not have in house skills to perform the role. Now, as you may know, if in a permanent role, one really doesnt bother if a project kick off gets delayed by 1 week or 1 year but it makes a big dif...
permies trying to get into contracting find it difficult getting their first contract KP Would you expand on that. As simple as a fresh grad trying for an experienced job role - to get a contract role all agencies/companies want people with prior contracting experience else one cannot get the role ...
Consulting by definition is providing a specialised service. I don’t know how one can be a consultant without being a specialist (with lot of experience) in one field. Quite a grey area really but 1. Consulting usually refers to overall involvement across products and technology more so with deli...
trust me - I have friends who were contractors and have excellent high profile roles now BUT I was making a generic statement - and the generic market sentiment especially with most employers is to oversee an excellent contractor and instead take on a mediocre person who has never contracted.....tha...
I want to add further that from FY2010-2011, eP60s are now an approved format of providing P60s rather than the previous hard copies on blue forms. My partner and I both received an eP60 and both companies told us that a print out of this is a legal original copy as per latest HMRC guidelines and th...
@mulderpf Like I said earlier, my intention was not to equate them. I agree a contracting house is entirely different from a umbrella company. My only point was that it was not fair of companies (read contracting houses) not considering a person for permanent employment just because he has contract...
Hi, Recently, many companies have begun issuing eCopy of the yearly P60 forms. To my horror, mine did too stating its an acceptable replacement though it clearly says its a copy of the P60. Can I take a colour printout of this eCopy to show yearly earnings for 2010-11? Or is this not enough and a st...
This is similar to what a contractor does right ? He is registered with his parent company or umbrella company and works for a client ? The common mistake made is confusing contracting with consulting. What recruiters and the general market term as contracting is when you work on your own, as an in...
Let me keep the end goal as eligibility for Tier 1 extension and reply to your queries. When you said the contract offer pays 25% more, did you mean on a 12 month basis or just a monthly basis? This is quite important because working for 12 months at 25% less per month compared to your contract is a...
