Did anyone call the home office to confirm? Or spoke to a lawyer?

Thank you for your kind and positive replies

Is that a fine for failing to declare goods in excess of your allowance when stopped before clearing customs controls?. It comes under civil penalties as you mentioned. If the ILR form states that civil penalties needs to be declared,then I assume you will have to. Someone else can comment further....

Thank you for your reply. Would I have to declare it though?

Hello all, I shall be eligible to apply for ILR in a few months. I've received a civil evasion penalty of £227 for failing to declare dutiable goods. I've spoken to the caseworker at HMRC and explained it was a mistake on my behalf, but she insisted that since it was my mistake I deserve to be fined...

Congratulations Rahul. Finally you're a free man. I just have a small query regarding employment. I've got 3 employees working for 24 hours, and 2 employees working for 40 hours since the past two years. You've mentioned that 30 hours is capped for ILR, would that mean I am not eligible? As my soli...

On the same guidance as posted by cs95tdg, page number 13 mentions this:- Events that break continuous residence Continuous residence is considered to be broken if the applicant has:  been absent from the UK for a period of more than six months at any one time, or is absent from the UK for a shorte...

Dear All, I've been holding the Entrepreneur visa for over 2-years, and shall soon complete the requirements for ILR based on 10 employees. I frequently have to travel out of the UK for work purposes, and some countries don't stamp my passport during entry-exit. Hence, I am not too sure of my travel...

Just a quick question... Was your business profitable for all 3 years?

Also note, on page 12:- A change is being made to expand the use of the “genuineness” tests in the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) route to applications for extensions and indefinite leave to remain, to better protect the route against abuse without disadvantaging genuine applicants. This change is similar to...

Try the smaller banks, if the big banks aren't willing.

Speak to the manager at Bank of Baroda, hamden street abu-dhabi branch too.

Attach everything you wish too, maximum they could say is 'We don't accept these documents' or whatever. But at least don't give them a reason to say you didn't submit evidence or proper documents ;) After sending them an email, within 24-48 hours you should get a reply that the application is unde...

I am thinking of getting in touch with airlines to get my travel record.

Do let us know how you get along.

Without the exit stamp, I could've been out for a month.. but it wouldn't show up on my passport

250 views and 1 reply? None of the others are facing this issue?

And what would the consequence be if I 'misplace' some tickets and boarding passes?

Hello All, Just had a small query about the immigration stamps on the passport. As we all know, UK immigration doesn't stamp our passports on our exit. The country I frequently visit for work doesn't stamp my passport on entry (I usually use the e-gate). Hence, how am I or HO supposed to calculate t...

You have to email the administrative review to:-

Please do it ASAP!

@sky_rise The entire reason / logic behind point 49 stated above is that the government wants two or more different persons to earn money to feed their families instead of one person/family. That's the basis of employment creation and distribution of wealth. Common Sense my friend . But one person ...
