Piyush123, GJ10, Have you heard anything from HO on your respective applications? I haven't...probably i am only guy who must be waiting for a decision from Aug 08.

Hi, I got my GC last year through a lottery and I went there for an activation trip which lasted couple weeks. I'm back in my home country in order to finish last year of university. And then I am going to study master degree in the U.S. My problem is that I don't have a reentry permit and I'm curre...

Tester, I can completely sympathize with your current situation. I submitted my application for Tier 1 extension under HSMP on 29 Nov 08, still waiting myself(albeit not as long as yours!). I've made travel arrangements to see my family next Sunday in Asia, which I don't think is going to happen no...

As I said on your other post, is your case straight forward?

push_hsmp, I guess not, as i am converting my current WP status to Tier1 (General) and before that i was with another WP in uk itself...so i have more than 2-3 visas stamped on my PP....Not sure if they are digging all the old graves.

Well a very lucky few get the approvals with in a week's time and the very unlucky few get the approval after 20 weeks. So unfortunately, for what ever reason your application has fallen into that category. Since you say, you called them up several times and you know the current status, so I am afr...

Hey Amit, for 1 --> i dont have a any specific letter format as such, but briefly the letter should state that your friend is happy to provide accommodation to you in his house and also mention the size of his house like (how many bed rooms etc) and that there is a spare room for you to use....you m...

As its already 15 weeks since I have applied for Tier1 visa, it seems that no one has started working on my application yet and I couldn't think of any other way to knock HO. [ i made my application on 5th Aug 08, and am still getting the same response from CC. Just wanted to update that you are no...

tester can u pls explan what u mean by more points. if u qualify in 2009 with 75 points, why do u need more points. more points dont help in any way hi Vipul tks for your response, my situation is that if i apply before my birthday then my currenlty salary would suffice to claiming 75 points, and i...

Dear All, Need to clarify how early can one apply for Tier 1 (general) extension (currently on HSMP after 5 december 2006) before the current visa expires. As per HO it seems 4 weeks prior to the expiry of current visa date. To double check this i emailed wpcustomers@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and go...

hi Friends, Am about to apply for Tier 1 general category and was filling the payment section. I realised that they have only mentioned Visa/Mastercard...but i wanted to pay by American Express CC. Tried to search the forum but no hits on this. Also i cannot confirm with HO as well as they are close...

Thanks Nevadawipes...just received reply from them...but am confused on it.. Hi, I need to clarify something with HomeOffice before I apply for HSMP Tier 1 (General Cartegory). Kindly direct me to the correct department if i am not at the correct one. Situation: I have a Work Permit on company XYZ a...

does any one know how much time HO takes to reply to requests on wpcustomers@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk email.

I sent email with the above concerns to them but havent received any reply yet (since 5 days now)

Thanks.

Hey coolestguyc, thanks for the reply. I will surely drop them in email with my question and make sure not to reveal any of my details so that just in case the leave was not legal, they have no way of linking it back to me...or any of my future HO applications :) Why not confirm it with UKBA itself?...

Thanks Grant, your reply really eased out the pressure...how ever i have one more question (might be a little naive) Is it illegal to take unpaid leave while you are on Work Permit ? All i want to ascertain is that I leave no reason for the CW to reject my application. Have you seen such a case befo...

hi All, Please share you thoughts with me on the consequences of 1 month unpaid leave while on WP and am about to apply for Tier 1 (General) In the last 12 months from July 07 to June 2008, i had taken 1 months unpaid leave (in March 2008). Now i want to apply for HSMP Tier 1 (general category) Can ...

I might want to start a new thread to get other opinion on my situation. This for your help Sush. Seniority as you seem to define it is either related to number of posts one makes or how long one has been a member. If I make 500 posts in one day, I will be a senior member in 2 days and if I remain a...

i had already checked "1.16 posts per day"

hi sushdmehta, having checked your profile on this forum looks like you are quite a senior member here, have you seen such case before? (searched the forum but no luck) Thanks again for your valueable comments. Regards, Raj ...if you have earned enough in 11 months to claim sufficient points then I ...

hi PG, Thanks for sharing your view on the question. Let me elaborate a little furhter, the idea behind not to send the bank stmts from Jul 07 to Mar 08 is because i had taken a 1 month unpaid leave in Mar 08 and hence there is no salary credit entry in my bank account for that month. To sum up... i...
