You've been incorrectly advised that your qualifying period started from the date your CoS was issued. Your qualifying period starts from the date your Tier-2 entry clearance is issued. You applied too early and HO's decision to refuse your application was legally correct, therefore, there's no chan...
I sat IELTS General Training and was awarded an overall score of 8.5 back in 2012. The trouble is, whilst our certificates do satisfy the current English level requirement, they were removed from the list of acceptable tests in Nov 2015. The only tests that are acceptable now are the ones having SEL...
Hi, I'm planning to apply for ILR by the end of March. In April last year I successfully negotiated a £6000 pay rise, that bumped my salary from £32000 to £38000 pa. The increase was reported to the HO as a performance based raise. Now my employer is giving everyone a pay rise, which will increase m...
Unfortunately, even valid non-SELT IELTS is not acceptable anymore. She'll have to sit a SELT exam I'm afraid. Totally unnecessary, but that's how HO rolls.

Shouldn't be a problem IMO. ILR pay threshold is set as gross income not net.
Pension contributions are same as getting paid and putting some of the money aside in savings, share contributions are same as getting paid and then investing some of the money in shares.
I emailed them to enquire about the status of my request and asked if they are going to send it in post or email. Got the following reply after 3 days. WTH?
Dear Sir
Apologies for the delay, we are currently working on your request and aim to have it completed soon.
I applied for my Fast Track SAR on the 4th of November which HO acknowledged to have received on 8th of November. I have not received any further correspondence from them. Can anyone with experience or information advise the following please? 1. Is Fast Track SAR file sent in post or by email? 2. Si...
As far as I know if you trade then you will have to pay tax on the profits. This might create issues when you apply for the ILR. I suggest don't do anything which may create issues later on.
Depends on type of trading. Spread betting is tax free in the UK. CFDs are not.
*Moderator feel free to move* It is not my intention to hijack the thread but I wanted Imumtaz to see this, as I look forward to his/her response. @Imumtaz, do you know if the info. from https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-j-codes-of-practice-for-skilled-work ov...
The current minimum salary for experience workers under SOC 2136 is £32000 p.a. for a 39 hour week. Anything below that salary will almost certainly result in a refusal.
I'm not sure if you must but I think you should. One of my wife's previous visa application was refused due to insufficient documentation. We reapplied and included further documentation to address ECO's concerns and a visa was granted. We've declared that in all subsequent applications without detr...
You do not need to submit any proof of RLMT with your visa application. Your employer will have to provide reference numbers to the HO during CoS allocation stage. They must also keep the proof of advertisement in their records for at least one year.
Having an EHC Plan is not classed as "recourse to public funds". Children of legally working migrants are entitled to free school education. Your child should get an EHC plan depending on her needs and how well you present your case to the LA.
We have tier 2 ICT visa which states no access to public funds I see in the response, someone said there would not be any issue in accessing the education or healthcare. Healthcare is provided by NHs and we all entitled for it. We have a child with special needs and we are struggling to get her in ...
