Thanks IT graduate. I had a look at the sticky thread. It states - that the trip was needed for business reasons. I will definitely exceed 180 days, though may not go beyond 90 days at a time. just want to ensure that I have taken all precautions and not missed anything that could cause problems ...

Can someone please help as I need to let my company know next week?

Will a letter from them saying that I am going on business trip be sufficient?

Hi, I am due to apply my ILR in Jan 2013. So far everything looks good for my case, however I am now required to travel outside UK on a business trip for 10-12 weeks. As of now my total days out of UK in last 4.5 years have been 125 with none of them being business related and none exceeding 90 days ...

You will be ok and that is not a problem.

I have applied for an extension in similar way and did not have any issues...as long as they fall in the 12 month period you are ok.

thanks.

which means I can show payslips from 10 Nov 2011 - 9 Oct 2012.

And I believe the 28 day rule applies to PEO also and irrespective of whether you have leaves remaining or not? THis is because the website says 28 days or 5 years whichever is earlier.

Thanks. Its valid till Mar because I was on WP before being on T1G. So if I can apply on 9th Jan, then does that mean I can show payslips from 9th Oct 2012 - 9th Nov 2012? Can I not show 9th Sep 2012 - 9th Oct 2012 -- As 9th Oct to 9th Jan is 3 months and they say it should be 12 months in 15 month ...

Anyone? please?

All, Have few confirmation and queries please - Completing 5 years - 5th Feb 2013 Date of visa expiry - 21st Mar 2013 Age at 1st T1G - 27 Age at T1G ext - 29 Based on above is any of below true or false - Date I can apply - 7th Jan 13 --> Is this correct. Payslips I can show - Oct 2011 - Sep 2012 OR ...

Thanks all. The reason I was concerned is that makes a difference when I can apply. I would want to claim less points, still more than 75 allowing to apply early. If I claim more than 100 points as I did last time then I will have to wait longer. Is there anyone who applied with less points and not ...

I am referring to the first poster in below thread who went to PEO and the caseworker said that the points claimed for ILR should be same as last Tier 1 application. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=98848 I would have thought there is no such rule. Can someone really confirm the rule ...

Can someone really confirm the rule regarding the same amount of points?


If I have to claim the same amount of points I will have to wait 12 months and show that many payslips.

If I dont have to claim exact same points as last time then I can apply much earlier.

Correction, the period neednt be consecutive.

It can be any 12 months in a given 15 month period, if you claim for more than 12 months then only the latest 12 is counted.

Thanks legalalien

Anyone?

Vinny / Genios Thanks. Does that mean any person is eligible in 4 y 11 m even if they have years left on their leave? If I am eligible in Jan 2013, then as per the current rules I can show income evidence in any 15 month period. Does that actually mean I can claim points for income from Nov 11 - Oct ...

Hi Can someone please tell me the date I become eligible for ILR based on below? I have read contrasting information. 1. Firstly the UKBA website says you can apply after you have completed 5 years or upto 28 days before expiry of current leave. Now I believe I complete 5 years before expiry of ...

Exactly...what you are saying applies if anyone shows more than 12 consecutive months. I have applied as below in the past and got an extension - Payslips - 1st to 3rd month No payslip - 4th to 6th month Payslip - 7th to 12th month. I did not have the 3 payslips in between and I needed all the 9 ...

ilr_hsmp2007 is incorrect. Its ok if you submit all the 11 payslips and one of them for Apr is missing. The rules for redundancy says you cannot calculate the settlement amount paid to calculate the income. Also regarding continuous payslips, the caseworker will only consider the latest 12 if you ...

Thanks a million quicksam.

One last thing - If anyone has extended more than once please reply.

Thanks again. So I take it that I can only extend if I am not yet eligible for ILR. Do you know if someone has completed 5 years on T1G but still may not meet all conditions of ILR, but does meet them for Tier 1 General Extension, can he go for extension instead? If the person is eligible for ILR ...

Thank you.

Anyone who has extended more than one time or know someone who has?

Is there any link from UKBA which says there is no limit

Thanks in advance

Hi, Can someone please let me know if there is a limit on the number of times a person can extend his Tier 1 General visa? I am aware that no new applications can be made. I am on Tier 1 General and have already extended once. I will now be eligible for ILR in a years time, but in case I forsee ...

Can someone please confirm if it is true that one needs to be in employment at the time of applying for ILR.

The last time I did my extension I did not have a job but had sufficient points and income, had no issues in getting the extension.

Thank you zahid

Thanks zahid and ssj. I am aware that if I submit less than 12 months of salary slips and meet the criteria that is ok. I have done that in the past but all those had been continuos months. I have now had a period of unemployment so if I meet the salary requirements the payslips wont be continuos ...
