Any Tier-1 (General) new applicants??

Hi,

Can anyone please let me know as what the stamping will be for people who are impacted by judicial review.

Will it be Tier1(general) migrant or HSMP (like earlier one)

Helo

I was wondering if someone can help.

My friend got married last year and she changed her surname to husbands surname on all documents except for Passport and Pay slips. Now she wants to apply for tier 1. She is on WP at the moment. Can you please advise what should she do to prove that its the same person. First name is obviously same. She is thinking of enclosing FULL UK DRIVING LICENCE (It Has after Marriage Name) and Marriage Certificate issued in India in English.

She has mentioned this point in the covering leter.

Will that be enough?

Please help

We have submitted marriage certificate, old passport, new passport with changed surname, and note in cover letter explaining name change. And we have got the tier1 visa last week.

regards

I want to apply for Tier -1 (General) category visa.
I have a Fixed Deposit(FD) of Rs 3,00,000/- (Three Lacs) (GBP more than 2800/- ) with Indian Overseas Bank (Govt of India Enterprise) for the period of more than 3 months.
This FD can be liquidated/redeemed at any time and it does not have any lock-in period.

I want to know, Can I submit the FD document as a Maintenance Fund proof?
Do I need to get the letter from Bank Manager stating that FD is held for more than 3 months and that the FD can be liquidated any time?

Please answer my queries if you are sure or you have got visa with FD as maintenance Fund requirement.

For HSMP Tracker/Website read the below post

can anyone answer my query regarding Previous Earning Assessment , I do not have 2 documentary evidence to support my salary for the month of January . Can I exclude the salary of January and claim points for the remaining 11 month . I have got the payslips of January but not the bank statement .

you can certainly use the jan payslip if you manage to score enough points using 11 months payslips to qualify or the other way around i would suggest just to get a copy of the statement from your bank for the monthof jan and get it stamped.

No you can'y

-- As per law you can claim the income for any 12 month(continious) in last 15 month.

You you don't have the proof for the last month then better claim the earning before that.

has any one got any latest update?

You are completely wrong on this. i would suggest you to be sure of any information you share on the forum before you assist someone. As per the HO guidance below, you do not have to wait for the full 12 months period to apply for previous earnings, one can apply anytime they fulfill the points criteria that can be done with 6, 8 or 12months earnings.

Also

Pls see the exact rules from the link you have sent and there are two rules... and para 83 states the same you have stated above and para 78 stated the same i have mentioned above.....

83. An applicant may claim for a period of earnings
of less than 12 months if they have earned suffi cient
funds to claim the necessary points.

78. The applicant can claim points for previous
earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period
during the 15 months immediately before the date of
applying. An applicant may claim points for a 12-month period of earnings outside of this 15 months
only in very limited circumstances. These are if the
applicant can show that he/she has been:

hope this will clear

Point 83 clearly states wht we are duscussing here and that all wht i wanted to bring to your and OP's notice.
