Great!. This is what we need at this moment. Govt. blames UKBA, UKBA blames Govt. Media blames Govt and UKBA. Everyone blames each other. The question is who is taking the responsibility?.

You hear everything! don't you!. The time you spent on decorating your words (making it colourful, bold.. etc) could have well spent to look for a job in internet and elsewhere.

It depends the kind of job you applying for...

I got my passport back today did biometric on 15th March

I think they only consider your application after you submit biometrics.

In both cases, the information travels to UKBA instantly. However if you go post office, you don't need an appointment just turn up early in the morning and join the queue.

If you course was PhD, then you could take a letter from the University saying that you have finished atleast 1 year of the program. Otherwise, i think they need your final MBA certificate to give your VISA in UK. The best thing you can do is to leave UK and apply from your own country with a new ap...

I think you can put that information when you apply for ILR. Normally, extension is 2 years, and i'm not sure about more than 2 years of extension.

I think the link is wrong. It says, the page cannot be found.

If your college/sponsor is a private college, (i.e. not a Govt. FE College or UK University) you will not be allowed to work for a single hour. There is no jobs for native british people nowadays, so don't even think about working illegally. UKBA is very active in Manchester and thet already wiped ...

Isn't the time that you need a professional help (Attorny lawyer) before you apply for visa?

You need to find a company, who is willing to file petition for work sponsorship, then you need to apply for H1B providing that number of applications for H1B does not cross the annual limits (for india it's 65,000/year).Good Luck

I don't think you can do a ILR application in person.

I think so. But you better check with a porfessional.

It has already been 3 weeks now and still no COS. HR made a few calls to them. At the time of COS request they say it will take 2-3 weeks. On Jan 24 they say our request has been received and it is currently being assessed by the case working team, but they are unable to provide any timescales for ...

Thanks everyone for the answer. The whole process took little less than 2 months. Congrats to those who get their passport back and good luck to those who made their application and have not heard from Bigboss yet.

@ Sailesh: It is pity that after living in UK for 10 years or more, you could not even write proper english.

Just wondering, why VISA processing from UK is 100% slower than most of the countries?. Is it due to slow work culture of UK?. Or UKBA (UK border agency) is lazy? or they have strict quota per month/week which they are required process every month/week?. Any answers/ reason :idea: Honestly, it is a...

I don't think you can do anything. Normally it would take around 14 weeks after you have done biometrics in uk. Thanks . But what if it dose not arrives after 14 weeks as next week is my 14th week. Any suggestion as i really need it back . thanks Well, if you have applied through your university, l...

You must be joking!. The usual time the university says is 14 weeks after biometrics.

yes it is possible, you need to finish at least 1 years of your course and the employer must agree to sponsor you.
