I also want to take this opportunity to clarify my child's scenario: My daughter (born outside the UK) first came to the UK in Jan 2016, and her current visa is valid until Oct 2018. I got my ILR in Nov 2017 and assuming my wife too gets her ILR in say June 2018, can we directly apply for citizenshi...
Hi all, I have recently received my ILR (through Tier 2 General 5 years route) and want to clarify my wife's scenario. She came to the UK on tier 2 dependent visa in July 2013 and her visa was valid until Jan 2016. She left the UK in Oct 2014 for maternity reasons She applied for 2nd entry clearance...
Hi all, Below is my wife's situation: Received 1st tier 2 dependent visa - June 2013 valid until Jan, 2016 Entered the UK 1st time - July 2013 Left the UK for maternity reasons - Oct 2014 Main applicant changed jobs in - Feb 2015 and again in Sep 2015; As I understand from other forums, dependent ne...
Hi All, Thank you every one who are contributing to this wonderful forum and moderators. 1. Category: Tier 2 General 2. Number of dependents: 0 3. Total cost: 2962 4. PEO branch: Croydon 5. Documents provided: -i. BRP (current) + print outs of previous BRPs -ii.Passports (current and previous) -iii....
Thank you. Reason why I raised this is - when I asked my bank to issue a letter confirming my salary - they were "surprised" that it was a FPI rather than a BGC. Hence why I raised this. Couple of other queries: a) I also took a personal loan very recently (2 months ago, and have started paying mont...
hi all, I have my ILR appointment very soon, and just noticed that my salary is being credited as FPI (faster payments incoming) rather than as a BGC (Bank Giro Credit). My current employer is using the payment reference as '<company name>'. Will this make any difference how it is paid? Sorry if I a...
PEO Croydon for ILR Appointment 12:20pm Leaving after 6:30pm it's long but the actual consideration time (displayed on screen) is only about 1 hour. I chose Friday because i think caseworker may have a slightly better mood;) Documents were prepared by solicitor and in absolutely neat/orderly condit...
I am not an expert, but here are my two cents. The official definition of continuous period calculation includes the below clause, which may work in your favor: Holidays taken on the conclusion of employment Where an applicant’s continuous residence period includes time spent as a Tier 2 migrant or ...
I am in a similar situation too. My previous job ended on 7th Aug. My new Tier 2 visa was approved on 23rd Sep. The COS has the start date as 5th Oct, but my actual start date was 1st Nov. The delay in start date was partly due to delay in receiving the BRP card. The HMRC records also show that the ...
I worked for my previous employer for about 4.5 months, but have taken 3 weeks of unpaid leave. Will this impact anyway? Will this be pro-rated at all?
or is it one employer - up to 28 days - one calendar year, irrespective of how long we worked with them?
Sorry, should have been clearer. It was only dissolved 3 months after I switched to Tier 2. In fact the companies house did that. I only checked it later.
I am in a similar boat. I just registered the company while I was on PSW visa. But never operated, and is dissolved after I switched in tier 2 general visa.
For Tier 2 General to ILR, it is mandatory to submit a letter from each employer detailing your absence (ALL absence). Hi CR001 Can you please clarify whether the letter should only be focused on absences outside the UK or all absences from office (i.e. say for annual/sick leaves spent inside the U...
Sorry, I should have clarified that all the leaves were unpaid I took 3 weeks of unpaid leave during this time. Am not sure if at all this unpaid leave was reported in the SMS portal. In the official guidance it says 4 weeks of unpaid leave is allowed per year (Jan - Dec) to not break the continuous...
When I had my premium appointment for ILR (May 2017), I was asked for P45 as I changed employer about 2 months before my ILR. The case officer told me she needed my P45 to confirm that the gap between employments was not up to 60 days. She wanted to put my application on hold but fortunately I had ...
Congratulations SRK007. Can you please advise if the UKVI informed you/your company prior to the compliance check date? or did it happen without any notification? Hi Friends, My ILR is approved by the grace of God and have received all the documents today. I'm thankful to each one of you for keeping...
@kawshik84: Can you please share the template of the letter you used for getting absences of current and previous employers? I am shortly eligible for ILR so it may help. Also I am not sure if I/my previous employer has a record of reasons for leaving the UK (as I had some component of travel involv...
HO is mostly concerned about all your absence from the UK or any long absence from work in general. Thank you. I only took leave for about 16 days off (but stayed in the UK) during my employment time for about 5 months with an employer. Is this "long"? Also how soon can we get the letter from previ...
I am not aware of any rule for dependents - to be NOT away from the country for more than 180 days. Is there any change to this? We are in a similar situation as my wife has left the UK for maternity for more than an year and I have also switched my visa in this period. Can you please advise if this...
Hi All, I would like to clarify the below regarding 180 days rule. I am due to apply for ILR in Nov, 2017 i.e. in 6 months time. So far I have spent about 8 days outside the work - which is within the limit of '180 days in continuous period'. My employer has now signed a project with a EU based firm...
I was wondering what docs do we need to provide for the below? I was on tier 4 and PSW visa before tier 2 visa: (a) For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 2 migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules. (b) what all info do we need to inc...
Hi Mengo, Sorry to hear about your situation. I am in a similar situation where the gap between last date of employment and new Tier 2 is 66 days. HO have refused my application for ILR. I was just wondering if you could tell what was the outcome of your AR if you had chosen to exercise it? Help fr...
Sorry to hear about the bad news. But it sounds like - the 60 days continuous period rule is based on the - last date of employment with previous employer and the date of application [/u] for the new employer. i.e it is not based on when you join the new company? In my case: date of employment with ...
