Why don't you request P60 copies from your current employer?
It should be easy since you have been with your current employer for all your 5 years.

I think that if current time remaining in your visa is less than 3 years, then you can select the visa type of upto 3 years.If the current time remaining is more than 3 years in your visa validity , then you have to select the upto 5 years option. I have seen at least one post here suggesting that i...

Technically there is no restriction on registering a company or owning shares in a company even if own them all.
The restriction is on "working". So you can register a company but you won't be able to work for it.

Call the homeoffice helpline and give your reference number (BRP number) and they will tell you what they have on the system against your name. By the way, you should have updated your address with UKVI using the change of circumstances form. Letter of curtailment can take quite some time to be issu...

You will need a letter from employer that should list all days that you were out of the UK and the reason for those absences. And this includes annual leave. I don't think you should over-complicate things by mentioning about overtime etc. and confuse the caseworker. So if the letter just says somet...

I am not sure that it is at discretion of the case worker. There is a rule and 35k is the cut-off, and 8 pence or 8k, both are less than cut-off. Rather than taking risk, why not speak to your employer and actually increase to at least get above the 35k without having to rely on rounding off, and th...

There are a large number of websites which actually have the official book online for free. You just need to google life in the uk test and you will find them. These websites also typically have lots of online tests and you can practice. You will also find lots of applications for phone as well. As ...

When it comes to job or business, spouse visa (Tier 2 Dependant) has more rights than the Tier 2 visa holder

You need to have a salary above the threshold at the time of application. And the proof for that will come from (1) letter from the employer confirming your salary (2) a payslip issued within the last 30 days of application (3) a bank statement etc. which shows that the required salary as shown in t...

zimba88, what about the question a bit later in the form (7.5) which says: 7.5 Have you or any dependants applying with you had any UK court judgment against you for non-payment of a debt, or received a civil penalty under UK Immigration Acts? [/b] From the word itself, it would seem that getting PC...

This sentence makes no sense!

They have the right to charge us whatever they want, taxpayers should not be funding UKVI. It is a once in a lifetime fee anyway. UKVI should definitely not be making tax payers subsidise anybody's ILR..which won't be subsidised even if the ILR fee were a quarter of what it is at the moment. Many p...

HO know there is 'demand' for their service/visas and as long as there is demand and people will pay (regardless of how everyone moans), they will increase the fees because they know people will pay to come here or stay. I agree with you and this scenario can very perfectly be explained by an explo...

ILR grants are down more than 50% since 2012. So they need to double the fees, just to make the same amount. This would explain a lot. In a normal situation, one would keep the price of a product/service fixed or reasonable and increase the number of sales in order to boost income. In an exploitati...

Calling concepts and bodies by their correct name aids in allowing others to provide the correct advice. I generally advice members not to follow advice on the internet posted under UKBA, as this is likely to be well out-of-date Thanks for pointing this out, very valid point Another way of looking ...

UKBA, UKVI, poteito, potato
whatever
same evil!

Poteito potato...same thoughts..
there has been restructuring and renaming exercises but essentially it is the same evil body in the end
And your calculations were quite close..

Thanks Vinny. So the new ILR fee has been increased from £1875 to £2297 And if someone wants to apply in person, then I believe it is an extra (£490 + £100) £590 (Correct me if I am wrong on this part, I have added the entries from Table 17 (17.1.2 and 17.2.1)). This means that the total cost of an ...

It was also the responsibility of the borough council to check your right of work. Being on a Tier 2,you are allowed to work extra 20 hours provided they meet certain requirements one of which is that it should be at the same professional level (perhaps that can cover you? You are already working in...

Until Brexit day itself (presumably 29th March 2019), EU law continues to apply in the UK and the UK government can't charge a fee higher than that of what a British citizen would pay for an equivalent document in the UK. As we do not have ID cards in the UK, therefore the cap for fees for applicat...

Until the day we leave the EU in a couple of years time, this is not possible, they are still two separate routes and different rules/requirements. You are probably right but I wouldn't be so sure. The rules/requirements are different but even within ILR, there are a number of different routes for ...

It's strange that the new visa regulations are not announced yet. This might well mean that fees wouldn't rise in April (since there is some notice period isn't? ) Perhaps the government is waiting for Article 50 to be triggered and would then lump the ILR and Residence Card for EU together as one c...

Further, I cannot spend more than 28 days (within that 180 days total) on paid leave abroad The only requirement is that you should not exceed 180 days in any 12 months period, for being outside UK. There is no 28 days rule for absences on paid leave. You might be confusing the requirement of spons...

Hi paradoxical, I definitely have read somewhere that to be qualified for a PHD level job, you necessarily don't have to have a PHD.. just suitabily skilled.. unless the rules have changed.. Just came across the below case in the forum I am not sure about this. Others can shed further light on this...

Paragraph 245 HF (F) also fails to apply as the job you are employed to neither falls on the PhD level occupations. Thus we maintain that your employment as a Natural and social science professional under SOC code 2119 is not exempt from minimum salary requirement. I do not understand this bit. It ...
