i would strongly suggest you read the Tier 1 settlement guidance to get a feel of the whole process and how it relates to your own case http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/IDIs/idichapter6a/ i could be wrong here, but based on the fact that your qualifying period is ...

Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought dependants were exempt from absence criteria?

i thought as much.

Thanks for clarifying that

hi guys,

i believe i have gone through set(o) form and guidance and can't find any requirement for submitting marriage certificate (for depedant spouse)

Can someone kindly direct me to where this may be (if i have missed it) or is this not required for ILR application?

Based on some of the experiences people have posted, my understanding is that some case workers ask for the documents they need.

My advice will be to put them all in a well-indexed folder so you can easily trace any document that is asked for (worst case scenario)

Gross is normally used

i dont believe maintenance fund is a requirement. However i think you need to show proof of funds that you can maintain yourself and any dependants you may have. Unfortunately no set amount has been mentioned here. Page 44 of SET (O) form has this at the bottom "Evidence of your finances. If you hav...

aaeran,

Based on the current rules, i believe you are fine. I have a similar scenario.
Just out of curiousity, the 117 days abscense you had, were they unpaid leave?

Guys, I was thinking it might be a good idea for any of the future PEO Tier 1 General applicants to actually ask the case workers about abscences and how it is assessed by Case workers. Obviously answers given should only be used as a guide and not a rule. But it will give us an idea into how the ca...

Congrats dansid, i wasn't aware that letter from current employer confirming employment was required for Tier 1 General migrant. Is this really the case? Also, just out of curiousity, did you have any absences that were unpaid leave? if you did, how many days were they? And what reasons did you give...

As you have mentioned i have to say YEs to D3, What reason do i put in the box for d3? D3. If you have ticked ‘yes’ at question D2, please explain in the box below any reasons for these absences. If my ILR gets refused, will there be any rejection chances for Tier Extn? (I already qualify for tier ...

Congrats dansid,

Can you kindly share your experience with us, particularly areas related to absensces as this happens to be a grey area at the moment

@ Uksettlement, So based on above, is it safe to assume that Tier1 General applicants with abscences less than 180 days in any 12months period can fill section 6.3 of SET (O) form and tick the second option box which says "Letter from applicant detailing reasons for absence due to compelling or comp...

Lets take it one at a time. To qualify for ILR, one of the requirements is that you must score either 75 or 80 points (depending on your category). You will have to claim some points for past earning where you can select any 12months within 15month period preceeding date of application. Obviously yo...

Hi guys,

Need to clarify the following:

For ILR, i'm aware that the main applicant needs to submit photocopies of passport, visas and stamps.

Is there a requirement for the photocopy of similar documents for the dependants?

Hi guys, Just need help with Age assessment: My scenario is as follows: Hsmp stamp was issued in feb 2008 Tier 1 General stamp was issued in March 2010 Section 9c of the Set (O) form states: "Please tick the relevant box to confirm the points you are claiming on the basis of your age at application ...

@Koshis, Really sorry to hear about your refusal. To get the best advice however, you will need to give a lot more information. You need to list visa types you have held as well as dates the visas were granted. You also need to let us know how many days you have been absent in the UK. With these inf...

Based on my understanding of the rules, I think u are eligible, as long as all other criteria / conditions have been met. I suggest u go through the guidance note and form to get a feel of this. As long as u entered the uk within 90 days of visa been stamped, then ur qualifying period can start from...

congrats icon3001,

wondering if you could share some more info etc :

- were all your holidays paid leave?
- did you fill section 6.3 of the form?

cheers

ok

thanks for that .

will see if i can get letter from solicitor back at home to include.

cheers

@Spidery_thread Thanks for your view. Please correct me if i am wrong, but my understanding of 245AAAb(ii) is that it excludes Tier 1 general. 245AAA(b) starts off as: " Except for periods when the applicant had leave as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant , a Tier 1 (Investor) Migrant, a Tier 1 (Entrepreneu...

I have set(o) appointment on 2nd january and provide the update after my (successful) visa.

Ashrithb,

how did you visa applicaiton go? Hopefully it all worked out well.

The only thing I don't understand in your case is why they stamped your Tier 1 extension on March 18, 2010. This doesn't make any sense bearing in mind your previous visa expired in Feb and you first entered UK on the 7th of March 2008. Anyway this is just a little detail which probably is irreleva...

Hi guys, Need some advise with regards to ILR application. Scenario is as follows: Current visa type is Tier 1 General 1st stamped with HSMP on the 4th of February 2008 Entered the UK on the 7th of March 2008 But had to travel back home on the 15th of March 2008 (My presence was required for liquida...

The last part of section 11L states :" For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules" My understanding of this is that you need to resubmit all documents that were submitted during your p...
