You might want the British passport before you surrender your Indian passport mate

Though this does not directly relate to immigration but just a simple search led me to this http://nriinformation.com/articles4/agr ... l_land.htm

Apply for an extension or apply ILR by post and send LITUK test result later

Just call up HMRC mate and ask if you owe then anything, if yes then how can you set up the payment. Its all up to the immigrant to have everything sorted unfortunately, neither HMRC nor HO care who's fault it maybe but if the taxes aren't in line then HO will hand down a refusal even if it was HMRC...

Only minor FPNs like speeding, parking etc can be omitted, all other traffic offences have to be declared Have you declared it in any previous application? if not then just skip it since its already spent now Quite contradictory to what you said above (listing the conviction regardless of what happ...

Only minor FPNs like speeding, parking etc can be omitted, all other traffic offences have to be declared
Have you declared it in any previous application? if not then just skip it since its already spent now

FPN means you broke the law and it means a criminal offence although traffic offences can be spent after a few years but the form is clearly asking to declare all traffic offences and not just those which happened in the recent past or are still unspent, in which case it will be a refusal for 3 years

Dude, have you read the form before posting or selecting your referees?

read 5.1, it clearly states the 2 referees should not be related to each other.

Also read 3.7, you have to declare all road traffic offences regardless of when they happened.

You have to sort out all the arrears with HMRC first, HMRC may not be bothered with the amount but its up to you to clear it or it will be a straight refusal from HO if they find out, especially since its been outstanding for so long

You will need to prove your English language like you did in the ILR application, include your degree certificate or whatever else you submitted earlier

Only a bachelors, masters or a PhD degree from a university is acceptable as proof of english language

Don't wish to discourage you in any way but I have heard of similar cases from immigration solicitors. A doctor with an established family life in UK with 2 kids had a very similar experience, submitted the application which was returned due to payment issues, he got in touch with a lawyer who prepa...

Why was the application refused??!

I am not entirely convinced that the Home Office accesses APIS for the purpose of verifying presence or absence from the UK. It would then not need to ask for your passports as it would have all the data already and would only be trying to make the application more onerous. Besides, Europeans in ge...

HO can get all the info they want about absences from APIS whether your passport is stamped or not.

Read section 13 - declaration which says the information given is true to the best of my knowledge which means if you are not aware of any summons/NIP etc then it cannot be considered as deception

The cost of extension also includes the price for applying too early previously

You cannot (and don't have to) include a single holiday in any 1 specific year if it spans 2 consecutive 1 year periods. If the absences are less than 180 in a year then its fine.

What you mean by 1 absence overlaps between 2 periods?

Post your absence calculation for the last 5 years.

As long as absences are less than 180 in a year then it should be ok

You would finish a year/12 months on 26/08/2014

Continuous period for ILR will be broken if you remain out of UK for more than 6 months at a stretch

ILR will be refused if leaves are over 450 days in the last 5 years unless the absences are for compassionate reasons

Please can some one also help me understand what i have to do to cover absence from uK, i was absent for less than 100 days in total 5 years. And it is hard to get letters from previous employers ? I am planning to apply in next Month Just include a self-letter for absences with the application, ge...

Goodluck!

Once you get your ILR, breakdown of a relationship means nothing even if you achieved your ILR on the basis of a subsisting relationship at the time of application

Threats of revoking ILR by the main applicant are just hogwash and you do not have to inform anyone
