Help Please!

I came to UK on HSMP visa in 2007 and had it extended in 2009 with Tier 1 status. I recently came across an option of National Insurance Rebate which entitles you to receive the benifits of NI contributions in any country at the age of retirement. My question is that would it affect my visa status if i apply for NI rebate now before i attain the status of Perminent Residence?

My UK visa application which was submitted prior to the new rules took effect was refused because I did not supply sufficient evidence for my income. I have made an appeal but if the appeal gets rejected will I have to submit a new application and be bound by the new rules??

The Borders, Immigration and Citizenship Bill was introduced to parliament on 14/01/2009. Essentially, it states that migrants must ‘earn’ their citizenship of the United Kingdom, including all the benefits this bestows.

The Bill calls for migrants to spend up to 3 years as probationary citizens on completion of their temporary visa qualifying period, before being eligible for full citizenship. Only once a migrant obtains full citizenship will they be eligible for a UK passport.

As the Bill is still to be passed in its finality by parliament, 1st Contact is unable to speculate any further on its impact on individual circumstances, whether it will be applied retrospectively to persons already holding ILR, nor are we able to confirm the implementation date.

We will continue to keep abreast of any amendments and updates to the Bill, which will be reflected and posted on our website and in our eNewsletter.

1st Contact does however recommend that if you are eligible for either Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Naturalisation as a British citizen, you contact us as soon as possible to initiate the process. We suggest this to enable you to avoid the impending changes. Please call 0800 039 3076 (free call within the UK).

We look forward to assisting you further.
