Hi, This is my case. Arrive in UK July 2006 on Working Holiday Visa July 2007 -> Convert to HSMP July 2009 -> Convert to Tier 1 (G) I've qualified for ILR from July 2012 but for various reasons will only apply in January 2013. I've read the FAQ and various posts on this economic activity matter, bu...

Dear Mates, Thank you all for your help and great support and info you provide here. Today I had my ILR appointment and it was successful. Arrived at 11:00 Security check, payment Case registration Biometrics Case consideration Approval and collection All in about 2 hours. Fortunately I had a great...

Hi ISingh2008, I called the NI contact number of HMRC I listed there, and she told me to provide those details. I assumed last 5 yrs addresses. Anyway, you want to request only last 5yrs of NI details if the application is based on 5 yr work route. Alternative is to call that number and double chec...

Hi guys, I am not sure where you guys are getting this 0845 numbers and other numbers that are being listed. For a while I couldn't find P45 from old job which has tax details from Apr 2010 - Feb2011 (new job P60 only had Mar 2011 - Apr 2011). So I went to HMRC website and got two numbers. It's qui...

Any body have any idea that how long it can take to get a decision from UKBA in this situation. Thanks Was your friend Self Employed ?? Or was h...

I believe seniors can confirm. You can only claim points of current age. You cannot carry forward age from initial Tier1 application. This is not correct..... As per the present rules..We claim points for our age at the time of 1st HSMP or Tier 1 General application ..... Doesn't matter what your p...

Hi chittarout I have a somewhat similar case like this... My 5 year qualifying period starts on a date when I was out of UK for a few days for a vacation... One of my legal advisors told me that it is not necessary for you to be physically present in the UK at the Start date of your qualifying peri...

I think you may be okay. This isn't a naturalisation application and the 90 days entry clearance concession is a counterexample. Aren't you eligible since Jan 2013? Thanks for your response Vinny.... 90 day entry clearance concession is clearly mentioned on the HO website.. I'v been trying to look ...

Hi I entered UK on HSMP Visa starting Jan 2008 and after that I'v had 2 extensions under Tier -1 General.. Anyway... So in my case, under the present rules I am eligible for ILR on 2nd November 2013.. And counting 5 years back from this date.... the start of my 5 year qualifying period comes out to ...

Congratulations! how much balance you showed in your account please? and did you keen some amount for any specific period? Hi, I am illegible for ILR next month under the present rules...and just to be on a safer side I decided to discuss my case with my advisor who is OISC registered. I'v known hi...

I am in similar situation. I was not employed during 42 days outside UK. I booked an appointment with PEO for tomorrow. I got letter from current employer for leaves but no letter for previous absence. I will update this post with my experience. Hi khurramalvi, Hope its all gone well for you... Do ...

You should be fine... Regarding payslips.. I guess you have to show any 12 months between 15 months ..the only caveat is it has to be continous months and not irregular months.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your reply. Yes I r...

Thanks Amber.

If your absences are less than 180 days you shouldn't be questioned about them, perhaps just put it down as an annual holiday. Hi All, I have a similar query. I have 169 days Unpaid leave Out Of UK in one of the 12 consecutive months. This was when I Resigned from my job and went back to India due ...

Thanks mate, I feel much confidence now So I can basically skip section 6.3 without ticking any boxes below then? 6.3 What evidence has been provided to support the reasons for all absences from the UK? Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid...

Ohk. Thanks a lot for your advise.
Cheers

Many thanks for your response. Actually last time I applied for extension, UKBA didnt return me the Dividend Vouchers and Accountant letters etc I had attached with the application. They returned all the Permanent job pay slips, bank statements and all other documents. I have heard that they dont re...

Thanks for your quick response. I just checked yes actually the letter written by accountant is addressed to UKBA. So I believe thats why the retained it. Thats alright. Not sure why they kept the dividend vouchers. Anyhow, the dividend vouchers say that I am the Sole shareholder and entitled to 100...

Hi Guys, Even I am worried about UKBA doing checks for previous application as being discussed under this thread. can you please take few minutes to read my issue and advise if it can be an issue for me in my next application: (Apologies for the long note below but I wanted to explain it in detail f...

Hi karg_g, Thanks for your response. Actually its all ok with HMRC. I had paid all the Taxes etc. and they have successfully dissolved the company as I mentioned in my post. I'm just concerned about UKBA creating some issue out of it for me when I apply for next extension. Yes I still have few month...
