Switching from PSW

Post by ukfrompk » Tue Dec 28, 2010 12:33 pm

1. Category changing (switching) from: PSW (in country through post)
2. Date of expiry of current leave (visa): February 18, 2011
3. Date application posted: 26 Nov 2010
4. Acknowledgement dated: 10 Dec 2010
5. Payment mode: Cheque

Received HO's response on the 3rd of February, 2011. The lady officer has refused me on the basis that some invoices that I sent did not corroborate with the bank statement and she calculated the amount to be £7000.00 which is completely wrong, as the total of the invoices being sent was more than that and I clearly pointed them out on the bank statement.

Anyways, now I am going to send fresh application to them soon as my current visa is going to expire on the 18th of February, 2011.

I have re-applied on the 16th of February, 2011, i.e., 2 days prior to my visa expiration date. Payment mode, again, was cheque.

I have sent all my invoices along with my application this time. Let's see what HO says... :wink:

Post Edited on: 10 March, 2011
I received letter for Biometric on the 3rd of March for which I went to Durham's Post Office on the 7th of March at 3:00 pm.

On the 16th of March, HO has asked me to submit some extra proof for the income which I am going to send by tomorrow, 1st Class.

Post Edited on: 24 March, 2011

This is to state that my visa has been approved and my solicitor has received all the documents today. :)
