Interesting! Appreciate that they have now decided to refund the premium fee if a decision was not made on the same day. This IT issue is not new in Croydon PEO/PSC. This happened to me and everyone else that applied on the same day as me in year 2012, and there was no refund or promise of refunds a...

Correction to date. Please read 05/06/2016 as 05/05/2016 in date of receipt of approval and registration certificate. Update: Approved. Registration certificate received. Application Timeline : Eligibility criteria: section 1(3). Child born in the UK. 3.5 yrs old. Method of application: NCS (Edinbur...

No you have to earn same salary and secure same points on which your 1st Tier 1 G application approved. Incorrect advise. I know this thread is quite old and from 2014, but updating here just for the record. The points for earnings are awarded based on the relevant salary table depending on the 1s ...

Yes, am afraid so. Not satisfying the earnings criteria are grounds for refusal. Are you absolutely sure you need £35 K for satisfying the salary criteria ? What is the date of your 1st successful T1G application ? If you were part of the old rules table (prior to 6th April 2010), then check the ear...

Update: Approved. Registration certificate received. Application Timeline : Eligibility criteria: section 1(3). Child born in the UK. 3.5 yrs old.

Thanks RichardW for the post.

Update on my case is that the registration certificate came through last week. Will update the timeline thread later on.

Unfortunately, you can't treat redundancy pament as earnings. Read point 101 from pg.21 of the policy guidance.

Thanks Ohara.

Fascinating indeed! So when are you arriving in Britain ? I suppose you are also aware that you have 3 months to renounce your Indian citizenship and then apply for your OCI.

Sorry to hear about all the confusion and hope the HO are able to issue a new one soon! In December 2015 I updated my daughter address online with a minor change. Where did you make this change? AFAIK, the MN1 is a physical form that you either post or submit at an NCS office. Did not realise you co...

Hmm this is a bit concerning. I had the same question on the use of parents instead of either parent here ( click) and have also submitted my little one's MN1 application on this basis. Hope you hear a positive response from the HO. Did your child receive citizenship? Not yet, submitted application...

Application to naturalise as a British Citizen is not an "immigration application" and is not subject to "immigration rules". As on date, neither the nationality guidelines nor Guide AN have been changed to suggest that "points-based calculator" cannot be used for "nationality applications". And, p...

You are OK with a UK degree. See Q1 and Q3 in the English language FAQs for Settlement.(click) It appears the Q3 for English language FAQs for Naturalization is still to be updated. [Request to moderators: can this please be updated] Your wife will need an UK NARIC statement. However not sure if it...

Are you saying they stated in an earlier policy guidance around November 2015 time-frame that applicants in accelerated route were covered under transitional arrangements ? It is unlikely they would make such a big change and quietly sweep it under the carpet. To me it looks like this was always the...

It's amazing reading this thread. I am sure there is a high here leading the OP to what he rightfully deserved, and it's another thing that this forum makes it possible for people to help people who have no other connection whatsoever. Congrats OP. Vinny, Geriatrix - What you folks are doing to the ...

The current guideline says you can book upto 28 days in advance here(click) Not sure why you aren't seeing any, keep checking. If you search the forum there are people who have different opinions about other PEO/PSC centre's. I have read Sheffield is good, but can't vouch because I don't have person...

If she doesn't qualify to apply for ILR with your application she won't need to have passed the test. See question 12 and 12 of Frequently Asked Questions; http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/faqs-for-ilr-wp-tier-2-hsmp-tier-1-read-before-posting-t79378.html Hi Casa. My wife...

Not entirely sure, but it appears, you should be OK as long as the earnings for the year with which you are going to qualify is all tax paid and authentic. Given the current climate for Tier 1 General (Self Employed) applicants in general be prepared to answer questions for the earlier 2 years when ...

You will need to prove that she has strong ties to India in the form of property, family, other children if any, and that she will return back home after the visit.

So did you switch in-country to Tier 1 General and used income from both within UK and abroad to qualify ? I think you should be OK as long as tax was paid in the foreign country for income generated there. but the two years after that which was 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 I made loss and as a result I ...

The requirement of KoLL is for all applicants (unless exempt due to age, physical and mental conditions) applying for Settlement(ILR) and Naturalization. It doesn't matter whether they are main applicant or dependent. So yes, your dependent will need to satisfy the English language requirement with ...

Sounds good for documentation from current employer.

Hi, Bit confused does this means that in Tier 1 Ent 50 K - ILR (5 years) route - 2 jobs roles can be done by 4 different employees to qualify for ILR ? I Entered Tier 1 Ent 50 K route in Oct 2012 got my two years extension in Nov 2015 due for ILR in Oct 2017 Thanks S Yes. No problems for two employ...

Croydon would seem to be a good choice for self employed folk as they seem to have experienced case workers to handle SE applicants. If you or your accountant have filed your self assessment every year, then it is possible for you to request this for the last 5 year period from HMRC. It will have de...
