Tier 1 (General) Extension Application Form Query (Main+Dep)

Post by dks100 » Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:51 am

Hi,

I am applying for extension of my Tier 1 Visa and for my family. Somehow I did not got enough clarity for the following points in guidelines and generated doubts for me:

Main Application:
1) While applying my initial application 3 years back for tier 1, the application was clearly mentioned to put 'X' for selection but in this new application it is mentioned as 'tick' - Should I use 'X' or tick mark here?
2) One of my recent payslip was lost in post and therefore I have got the payslip printed on company letterhead, sealed (Payroll dept) and signed by authorised person for that month - Would this payslip be considered?
3) Section B14 - Point Based System migrant reference number (if known) - Do they mean the PBS reference number at the time of initial application (3 years back)?
4) Section D - I was initially started in 2006 with work permit visa converted to tier 1 (General) Nov 2008 and was out of country from end Jan 2009 to Early May 2009 but still had Tier 1 Visa. In Immigration section D2, D3, D4 do they mean the first entry clearance visa ref in 2006 or the recent one Tier 1 (where I was back in May 09).
5) Section H4 - Do I need to send my original degree for extension when there is provision to select 'evidence previously provided with initial tier 1 application.
6) How recent (at the time of application) the 3 months bank statement should be for the proof of maintenance fund.

Dependent Application:
1) My Family are in UK for more than 12 months but less than 2 years - Should the maintenance fund be £533 each or £1600
2) Section K4 - Maintenance certificate by sponsor - this section is not clear to me, who is A-rated sponsor here? Proof of maintenance fund is provided through bank statement but do I need to additional declare in section K4? Not sure who is A-rated sponsor here.
3) Section 5 - If the maintenance fund is in the name of main applicant then who would be signing section 5 for consent for verification to the bank - Main applicant or dependent?
4) Does my spouse need to show proof of residence with to separate documents ?

Your reply for my above query to assist me completing the application form would be much appreciated.

Tier 1 (general) application Form (Main+Dep)

Post by dks100 » Tue Sep 06, 2011 9:50 pm

Hi all,

I am not sure why people are not responding here, Now I have very short list of enquiry

Dependent -
Page 36, 37 Which one to be filled up if the fund is in Main applicants name, Part 1 of 36 (Consent for verification by bank), whose name to be Dependent applicant's name or main applicant OR Main applicant need to sign with main applicants name on page 37. The fund is only in the name of main applicant.

Main -
1) PBS reference (If Known) - Is PBS reference for initial tier 1 to be provided ?

2) Previous earning - I do not have original payslip for one month out of 12 months. I have got payslip printed on company letter head, signed and stamped from payroll dept - Is it a valid document.

Can I provide all the three documents
a) Bank statement
b) Payslip as mentioned above
c) a letter from employer with monthly breakup of gross and net to bank.

My payslip shows two gross figure - Salary and Gross salary and third one net. the gross salary include allowances (Car). Which one should I mention , salary with Car allowance or without car allowance ?

as I have not yet received my last months bank statement and it is expected to take some time, Is it OK to apply with last month bank statement taken from bank branch on letter head, signed and stamped ?

The fund is only in the name of main applicant.

>>> Page 36 Part 1 (Top half of the page) - Dependant's name, address and signature

>>> Page 36 Part 2 (Bottom half of the page) - If and only if dependant's account is a joint account with Mr.XYZ then please fill in Mr. XYZ 's name address and signature.


>>>PAGE 37 - If the Dependants do not hold any bank account (or the account u r showingis NOT in the name of dependant ) then you should fill page 37 with the details of person whose account you are showing (Ideally this would be main applicant's account details ).


Main -
1) PBS reference (If Known) - Is PBS reference for initial tier 1 to be provided ?

>>>> I guess yes. Even m not sure. But you can keep this field empty. Its not mandatory



2) Previous earning - I do not have original payslip for one month out of 12 months. I have got payslip printed on company letter head, signed and stamped from payroll dept - Is it a valid document.

>>> YES. Company's seal and sing is enough


Can I provide all the three documents
a) Bank statement
b) Payslip as mentioned above
c) a letter from employer with monthly breakup of gross and net to bank.


>>> a and b you MUST provide. c is optional. But good to have it.


My payslip shows two gross figure - Salary and Gross salary and third one net. the gross salary include allowances (Car). Which one should I mention , salary with Car allowance or without car allowance ?


>>> With Car allowance. Its your earning after all. UKBA considers your gross.


as I have not yet received my last months bank statement and it is expected to take some time, Is it OK to apply with last month bank statement taken from bank branch on letter head, signed and stamped ?


>>> Yes, Banks letter head, OR print out on plain paper with bank's stamp and date is valid


REQUEST - PLEASE REPLY ME AND JOIN MY FORUM ASAP TO PROVIDE ME HELP
Hi ,,, am coming back to this forum after a long time. Wondered why members did not reply to your questions. I have found members here very very helpful.

Trying to answer ur questions. See inline to ur questions above.

And answers to ur previous questions:::


Main Application:
1) While applying my initial application 3 years back for tier 1, the application was clearly mentioned to put 'X' for selection but in this new application it is mentioned as 'tick' - Should I use 'X' or tick mark here?


Put tick. No Harm


2) One of my recent payslip was lost in post and therefore I have got the
payslip printed on company letterhead, sealed (Payroll dept) and signed by authorised person for that month - Would this payslip be considered?



As said earlier, YES, its valid


3) Section B14 - Point Based System migrant reference number (if known) - Do they mean the PBS reference number at the time of initial application (3 years back)?


Answered above


4) Section D - I was initially started in 2006 with work permit visa converted to tier 1 (General) Nov 2008 and was out of country from end Jan 2009 to Early May 2009 but still had Tier 1 Visa. In Immigration section D2, D3, D4 do they mean the first entry clearance visa ref in 2006 or the recent one Tier 1 (where I was back in May 09).


Details of Tier 1 visa and not work permit


5) Section H4 - Do I need to send my original degree for extension when there is provision to select 'evidence previously provided with initial tier 1 application.


Not sure. Better to send it.


6) How recent (at the time of application) the 3 months bank statement should be for the proof of maintenance fund.


Should not be older than one month



Dependent Application:
1) My Family are in UK for more than 12 months but less than 2 years - Should the maintenance fund be £533 each or £1600


That depends on how long YOU are in UK. Not ur family



2) Section K4 - Maintenance certificate by sponsor - this section is not clear to me, who is A-rated sponsor here? Proof of maintenance fund is provided through bank statement but do I need to additional declare in section K4? Not sure who is A-rated sponsor here.


Even m not sure about this bloody question. Ideally i think it should be left as it is. (if you are spponsoring ur family)


3) Section 5 - If the maintenance fund is in the name of main applicant then who would be signing section 5 for consent for verification to the bank - Main applicant or dependent?


In this case, Page 36 top dependant should sign, Page 36 bottom to be left blank, and Page 37, main applicant's details


4) Does my spouse need to show proof of residence with to separate documents ?

Marriage certificate is MANDATORY to show again. Here, I assume you are going to put both the application in to same packet while applying.
