What way I can get the permission to stay in UK if I don't qualify under HSMP scheme or any other scheme?

If you don't qualify under HSMP you may be able to get a job offer from a UK company and get sponsorship. If not try a student visa (although this will be expensive) or even a working holiday maker.\n\nHappy to give you more specifice guidance if you email me at Jessica.Stooke@Visalogic.net

It depends on what you want to do in UK.  You can try work permit or HSMP, but those are so difficult to get.  You need a job offer that requires at least Degree/NVQ level 2/ 3 years worth of work experience to qualify for work permit.  And your income has to be in the top 10% of the country where you have been working for the last 12 months, and need have at least a degree, and your partner has a degree or/and working in the field that requires a degree for HSMP.  \nMaybe you can try to apply for unmarried partnership visa with the UK person, if you guys have been living together for at least 2 years and can prove that by letters for both of you sent to the same address.  It will give you 2 years residency, and within this 2 years, you'll be able to work full time.  After that, if you are still together, you'll be able to apply for Leave to Remain Indefinite.  \nIf you are still in America now and thinking of coming to UK, and have not lived together for long enough, then the easiest thing you can do is to be a student and come here.  Just find a school with a full time course you want to do, and enrol into it, then pay the tuition.  Get them to write a visa letter to confirm your position in the course, and go to British Embassy with the application form and other requirements, such as your sufficient bank statement to apply for the visa.  With student visa, you'll be only able to work part time (under 20 hours per week) during term time and full time during holidays.  But if you guys start living together as soon as you come to UK, after 2 years you'll be qualified for unmarried visa.\nOr, if you have a grand parent or a parent born in UK, then you should be able to get UK ancestry visa.  Just check Home Office and UK Visa's website.  Also, don't forget to contack British Embassy in America, if you are there now.\nI hope those information I gave you is helpful.   Good luck.

Are you just a visitor, or are you meeting a potential fiance'...it all depends, honestly. \n\nAs just a visitor, I found that a visitor can stay as long as six months without a work visa, so long as they meet the following requirements:\n\n"41. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor are that he: \n\n(i) is genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a limited period as stated by him, not exceeding 6 months; and \n \n\n(ii) intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of the period of the visit as stated by him; and \n\n\n(iii) does not intend to take employment in the United Kingdom; and \n\n\n(iv) does not intend to produce goods or provide services within the United Kingdom, including the selling of goods or services direct to members of the public; and \n\n\n(v) does not intend to study at a maintained school; and \n\n\n(vi) will maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately out of resources available to him without recourse to public funds or taking employment; or will, with any dependants, be maintained and accommodated adequately by relatives or friends; and \n\n\n(vii) can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.; and\n\n(viii) is not a child under the age of 18.\n\n\nHope this helps!\nCheck the link if you need more info...\n \n\n42. A person seeking leave to enter to the United Kingdom as a visitor may be admitted for a period not exceeding 6 months, subject to a condition prohibiting employment, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 41 is met.

Very unlikely that you will be entitled to any UK benefits if you are not working or living here.\n\nhttp://www.direct.gov.uk/BritonsLivingAbroad/Money/MoneyArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4000102&chk=VI5U1A\n\n"If you move or travel overseas, you will not automatically receive benefits from the UK, entitlement will depend on whether your stay abroad is temporary or permanent. You can continue to claim some benefits while you are abroad, however some will continue for a certain period as long as your stay abroad is temporary and some will stop straight away."

There are a lot of places on-line you can apply. I'm not sure what sites there are in the UK. But apply to them all. Thats what I did.

I believe you can come on a business visa; you would have to stay here a number of years before you could get permanent residence, called indefinite leave to remain.\n\nYou can check out \n\nhttp://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/schemes_and_programmes/businessman.html? \n\nfor more details.\n\nBut get professional legal advice\n\nGood luck

The UK Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) is an excellent UK immigration category for entry to the UK for successful people with sought-after skills. It is in some ways similar to the skilled migration programs for entry to Australia and Canada.\nThe latest version of the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme was announced on 7 November 2006.\nPlease note that on 07 November 2006 the Home Office announced a temporary suspension of the programme until 05 December of 2006. A Summary of UK HSMP Changes, as of 17 November, 2006 has been placed here\nYou will need to obtain a minimum of 75 points from the following 5 scoring areas:\n\n    * Points for age if you are under 32 years of age.\n    * Educational qualifications (including MBA Provision)\n    * UK degree level or professional level qualification\n    * Previous Earnings\n    * UK work experience\n\nTo find out about our professional fees, HSMP services and HSMP Application Plan call our London Office on +44 (0)20 7842 0800 for a HSMP consultation. For full details of the HSMP program see our detailed guide\n\n\nHighly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) of the UK is probably the best Immigration Scheme open to Highly Skilled and Experienced Professionals, Executives & Managers, presently available from any of the developed countries. HSMP leads to Permanent Resident status for the United Kingdom in just four years.\n\n\nWhat is the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme?\n\nThe programme is designed to allow highly skilled people to migrate to the United Kingdom to look for work or self-employment opportunities. The scheme now has a new assessment for applicants aged fewer than 28 as well as an assessment for those 28 and over.\n\nThe Highly Skilled Migrant Programme is different from the work permit scheme because you do not need a specific job offer in the UK to apply.\n\nIt is different from business routes such as the Innovators scheme or other business categories like Self Employed because you do not need a detailed business plan, you do not need to create jobs and you do not need to invest in the UK.\n\n\nHow can I apply?\n\nIf you are an university graduate, we are here to help you.\nYour application will not be successful if you are in the United Kingdom as a visitor, on temporary admission, or without permission. In most cases, you can also apply from inside the UK if you are here with Home Office permission.\n\nJust join UK Companies web site or contact us.\n\n\nHow do I qualify as a highly skilled migrant?\n\nThere is a points-based immigration scheme. Points are scored in five main areas:\n• educational qualifications;\n• work experience;\n• past earnings;\n• your achievement in your chosen field; and\n• your husband's, wife's or unmarried partner's achievements.\n\nYou need to score 65 points or more to qualify as a highly skilled migrant. You can calculate your score with our HSMP Calculator but keep in mind we can advise you how to achieve a much better score.\n\nSelf-employed General Practitioners qualified to practice in the UK may also apply under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme.\n\n\nHow long will I be allowed to stay in the United Kingdom as a highly skilled migrant?\n\nAt first, you receive permission to stay in the UK for a year to seek work or self-employment opportunities.\n\nAfter a year, you can apply to stay for longer but you must be economically active.\n\nIf at the time of application you have a genuine employment offer then you may receive permission to stay in the UK for up to four years and your application could be considered on an urgent basis\n\n\nWhy is HSMP so advantageous?\n\nYour family can come as well. Your spouse, partner and children can enjoy the same benefits as UK people including free education, free healthcare and the ability to work in the UK.\n\nAfter your initial 12 month visa period, you can apply for an extension of up to 4 years as long as you and your family have been able to support yourselves.\n\n

Having a legitimate visit to the UK should not affect your application for an H1B.  \nHowever, if you mean to ask if you can apply for the H1B at the US Embassy in the UK -- you'd be better advised to apply in your home country.  It is generally more difficult for applicants of any type of temporary visa to qualify when they apply outside of their own country.  The Embassy official is less familiar with the circumstances and documentation from a different country and would more likely have to deny the application if it is less certain or obvious.

If you hold a Romanian passport you can apply to the IND in uk under WRS (worker registration scheme) otherwise you may need a work permit & visa.

I'm afraid not if you stay in the UK for 1 year or 14 years illegally you do not qualify. To get indefinate leave to remain you have to have spent a maximum of 5 years in the UK legally. So you or your friend will need to reapply. Because of the time periods invalid it more likely an incountry application would be rejected because of the overstaying and any attempt made once the individual has left the UK well that will depend alot on what the individual was doing for the period of overstaying and if they made any claimes to public funds and soon.\n\nall the best \n\nmgi1975

Only if you can really prove that you are being persecuted or that your liberties are being denied by the Uk, which could be very difficult. It also depends on the country, but again vey few would give you asylum.

As a British citizen now in the US here is my two pence. Some options - (1) He can come as a tourist for six months at a time. He cannot legally work when he is here. Don't know your financial situation. (2) He can get a H1. He will need to have a degree and some experience and get a company in the US to sponsor him. If he has a IT / technical background and/or a Masters this is easier. (3) There are many Visa options based on his skill set eg- Highly educated and skilled or some very specialized skill. the USCI site has information on it. (4) Invest money in a US based business, employ people and get a visa to operate the business.\n\nSo the only real options is coming over is a temporary tourist or some kind of professional route.
