Congrats

I don't understand the term personal leave that people use

Its either paid or unpaid leaves isn't it???
can u explain what personal leave means???

[ifti786]

Thanks syed. Personal leaves are the leaves which anyone get paid/upaid. Also, there are absence which are due to official reasons. So, employer should mentioned whether the out of country travel was personal/official.

Cheers.

She is eligible as her total stay will be taken in account I.e., tier 1 as well as dependant. Her current visa shld be dependant visa which is the case. So u both are fine.

uksettlement ... I don't think that is correct as per latest rule .... I thought someone mentioning that one need to be in DEPENDENT visa for 2-5 years ...
