Hi I will be very grateful if you could help me with my query please. I'm on Tier 1 General and will be applying for ILR soon. 2 of my payslips are not original, because they were lost in post. The rest of the payslips are original. The two slips I'm talking about are black and white print outs and ...
Hi Can anyone please tell me how many co-habitation documents do we need to provide for ILR. Me and my wife are applying for ILR soon and unfortunately we don't have any documents in our joint names. She has her bank statement in her name, TV license is in her name, she can provide NI letter and one...
In my opinion, you should select Tier 1. Further to this question, I wanted to ask that how much do we pay while booking the appointment? Do we pay £100 booking fee or do we have to pay the entire amount of the ILR application fee? Or do we pay the actual ILR application fee when we attend our appoi...

Yeah, she has already started preparing for Life in the UK Test. She's practising on-line and she's prepared about 40 tests so far. She hasn...

Thanks very much cs95tdg... I was in UK on a student visa when I applied for HSMP on 07/02/2008. This application was refused and I requested for a review (sometime in July 2008 I guess). Review was successful and I got HSMP approval letter on 23 December 2008. By that time, HSMP scheme had been clo...
Thanks very much indeed for your reply. It is very much appreciated. I have still got some doubt, if you could please clarify. There is a sentence at UKBA website (and also in the points calculator) which says that "You will score no points for a bachelor's degree if, under the Immigration Rules in ...

Review was successful and I got HSMP approval on 23 December 2008. By that time, HSMP scheme had been closed. So, I went...

The people at VAC Islamabad (Gerry's Fedex) have told my wife that you need to bring these documents (2 original bank statements, attested photocopy of main applicant's visa page, photocopies of each and every page of passports etc.). They said that you have to bring these documents, otherwise your ...

One original bank statement should be with the 'original set of documents' and another original bank statement should be with the 'p...

I had HSMP approval on the basis of which I applied for Entry Clearance under Tier1 General. My EC request was approved in November 2009 and I came to UK in December 2009. Since I already had HSMP approval letter, I paid reduced fee for Entry Clearance under Tier 1 General. Now I wanna apply for my ...

I'm in trouble guys, very serious trouble. I am in UK on student visa. My student visa extension application is in process in the Home Office since February 2009.

[quote="mbasmart"]1. If my dependants also apply with me (at the same time) what application fee shall we have to pay? Shall we have to pay individual fee for each dependant or shall I just pay the Tier1 fee for myself while my wife and kids apply for free? I've heard that if main applicant and depe...
Yesterday, I have requested the Home Office that I want to WITHDRAW my student visa extension application. I've got no other option because only one month is left until validity of my HSMP approval letter, and I cant wait any further. When I receive my passport and supporting documents back, I'll go...
Hi guys, I've got a response from home office, which is a bit upsetting. You know I've applied for student visa extension (and at the same time I've got HSMP approval letter with me). Last week I wrote to home office to vary my application (on the basis of HSMP approval letter) and grant me Tier1 in...
Hi VIP123, It should'nt take more than 1.5 'working' months (excluding holidays). Yours was applied on March 27, so I believe that you should expect to hear the good news by May 30th (hopefully).
Thanks for your responses guys... Now that I've requested them to vary my application grounds and grant Tier1 instead of Student extension, what do u reckon should I do to speed up the process? You would probably agree that I should get an acknowledgement from them in next week or 10 days. Since onl...
Along with my application, I've enclosed a print-out of their email that they've sent me confirming that I can write to them to vary my current application for further leave to remain. Dont know if that email has any significance whatsoever...
Good work hoopsy, thanks... But I've done some research which is as follows: As mentioned in Tier1 (General) application form, the applicant is not able to submit a further fresh application if any other application (for further leave to remain) is currently being considered in the Home Office. Howe...
OK guys, here is a good development. I've got following reply from Home Office... Email Starts >>> Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your enquiry. We confirm that if your application was made before your existing leave expired, you may write to the team considering this application and make a request to...
