Can you please let me know if the Tier1 visa can be applied having a Bachelors Degree. I do not have Masters. Am I eligible for applying?

Thanks!!

Wait until 6th of April. Mind you, the past earning requirement will be much tougher...

you don't have to be worry about UK bank account, NI, UK work experience, etc. These can be sorted once you secured a job. However visa is very important.

but you do need to worry about securing a job in current condition.

Hi All,

I tried to book an appointment this morning, and the agent on the phone told me that currently the in-person application suspended. I checked in the website there is no information about this. Anyone can shed some light?

Thanks, but do you have any reference to UKBA guidance on this one?

The key word in there is *short* absences and it says "consistent with paid vacation". Over 5 years - 180 days equates to 36 days a year - which is a high paid vacation amount (most people tend to get 20-25 ex. bank holidays). Certainly an continuous absence from any work place I've been at of over...

If both paid leaves (holidays) and work related absences are not be counted, then what type of absences are to be counted? :? You may wish to apply now and hope for (and count on) caseworker's discretion in your case, or defer making an application until such time that your non-work related absence...

Hello All, My husband is currently a work permit holder who is due for his ILR application in a week, but he was just notified that he is being made redundant and his employment ends in next couple of days, after which his 28 day notice period starts. As he got all his documents ready, at this poin...

Neither the discussion (that you provided the link for) nor the IDI state that paid holidays do not count (contribute) to the 180 days absence limit. Read this post from the very discussion you have provided the link for. Likewise, read para 3.1 of the same IDI. AIUI, here's how it works: As long a...

From what I read from the forum, paid holidays does not counted towards the 180 days allowance Where did you read this on the forum? regards For example this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=48806&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 I also read guidance from UKBA website regard...
