Hi

You don't really need an immigration consultant to apply. All the required information is very well given on the CIC website.

Hi tulipz, You wrote "I read on the website that invitations are being sent out for 470+ scores. Who gets 470+ out of max 500" ??? Where did you read this? I have been through the website with a fine toothed comb. There is nothing on CIC website which tells you this. I will be intrigued to know this...

Hi tulipz, I will try to answer your queries based on my capability and experience. I have already applied last month and I am into the pool competing with others. See my response below. 1. Is my understanding of the process correct? You will need to take IELTS first and have a minimum band of 6 in ...

Hi folks The intention is not to hijack the post but query something which is relevant to the topic. May be others might be in a similar situation as I am. For my initial application and all my subsequent extensions I proved my English language skills based on “degree taught in English” option avail...

Hi, I am lining up my ducks to apply for Canadian PR under express entry system. I have entered my details under ‘Come to Canada Tool’ and found that I am eligible to apply. I will be creating an express entry profile and register in the job bank in next few months which will rank me against others ...

Thanks Vinny

Unfortunately the response wasn’t loud and clear. Do you mean she can still be Tier1 dependant with me on ILR until she sees her ILR?

In fact it’s good news that I don’t have to go through the rigmarole of applying her visa and can directly apply for her residency when it’s due.

Hi, I am on Tier 1 (General) and my wife is a Tier 1 (Dependant). Our entry dates to U.K are as below. Self: Aug 2011 (First entry). Tier 1 (expiry): Nov 2017. ILR due: July 2016 (28 days before completion of 5yrs with less than 180 days in a 5yr period). Dependant: Oct 2012 (First entry). Tier 1 (e...

Thanks Wanderer I agree with your response and I am very well aware of this situation. My best bet would then be to apply for citizenship first and then move on. That does mean that I will have to wait longer to apply for Canadian residence. I have posted a query on the Canadian forum as well. Can I...

Hi folks, I know this post may not be appropriate in the UK forum but I wanted to get the answer for my UK immigration related query. I’m currently in U.K on Tier 1 (general) and my ILR is due early next year. In the meantime I also plan to apply for Canadian Immigration under Express Entry system (...

Hi folks, I’m currently in U.K on Tier 1 (general) and my ILR is due next year. In the meantime, I also plan to apply for Canadian Immigration under Express Entry system (FSWP). I have got all the necessary documents required for express entry system. My ECA has been done and my IELTS score is R:7, ...

Hi folks, I have my ILR due in Aug 2016 which means I start building up my documents and finances from July this year. I’ve had my previous Tier-1(general) extensions as contractor (one in 2012 & one last year). I am now planning to go staff from July 2015. Will it have any repercussions on my ILR a...

Hi guys, I am a Mechanical Engineer and would like my education qualifications to be assessed by an organization approved by CIC. How do I choose my designated organization to get an ECA done? Currently CIC website lists the following organizations. •Comparative Education Service – University of Tor...

Apologies read it as 6th April 2010.

Thanks

Hi iffi786

My first EC was after 6th April 2011. So it's 2+3+3 in my case.

It should be 3yrs in your case if it was after 6th April 2011.

Thanks

Hi

BRP received within 2 working days. It has been extended for 3yrs. Now the new expiry date is Nov 2017.

Thanks

Hi iubus2005, All they provide you is a 3 page approval letter stating your approval and the points scored. Last time when I went for extension I did ask them about the duration but they weren't bothered to answer. All they said is it will be stated on your BRP. I knew the rules so I wasn't bothered...

Hi chaps, My second Tier1 (general) extension was approved last week in Croydon. Below is my experience with Croydon PEO. 1. Current vignette HSMP / Tier 1 : Tier 1 (General) 2. Date of PEO Appointment : 21/11/2014 3. Date of expiry of current leave (visa) : 16/08/2015 4. Date of expiry of the new v...

Hi

Is English Language Test required for dependants to extend Tier 1 (general) visa within UK?
There is nothing in the dependants form which specifies ELT requirements.

As far as I know it's only required for ILR applications.

One of the posts I read here has made me absolutely confused.

Thanks

Thanks Malik44

Hi

After a bit of search on google engine & GOV.UK, I found this. See link.

https://www.gov.uk/working-tax-credit/overview

So that answers my first question. I'd tick No. Working tax Credit doesn't apply.

How about my other query regarding refund?

Thanks

Hi I have got a refund from HMRC for the excess tax I paid. Amount was circa 4k & put back in to my personal account. Do I need to mention that in my Tier 1 (General) extension form and put a tick against section N.2- Working Tax Credit? Is it the same thing or am I thinking in the wrong direction. ...

Thanks for replying Malik44.

One more favor pls. Where can I find the template for Cover Letter? Tried searching here on the forum.

Hi I am looking for latest Tier 1 (General) extension dependant application form. It's for applicant within UK & applying along with the main applicant. Found this one on UKBA website. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/324621/T1_2_or_5_Dependant_Form_-_07-14.p...

Hi Waqqasbhangoo & jonbca

I have changed my address twice after I got my extension but I have never reported any address changes to HO.
It is recommended but not required.

It's a different story if you are awaiting a response from UKBA or you are required to register with police.

Thanks
