Thanks for the quick response Jambo. So presumably, my wife can apply as soon as I have been granted BC as she meets the 3 year residential criteria?

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could kindly shed some light on my situation. HSMP visa acquired: May 2007 Wife arrived in the UK (HSMP Dependent): Feb 2009 Visa extension acquired under Tier1 (Main + Dependent): May 2009 ILR acquired (Main + Dependent): April 2012 The question now is, whether my...

SALAM; Update from myside is not much encouraging, sorry about that you all. I came here in UK on 12th April and still can't find any job. Need prayers. GOOD LUCK you all. Regards, Hi Zeeshan, You do realise dont you that it's only been a month since you got here. Have some faith and some patience....

Hi Saf, First of all - plz do not post duplicate posts. Having said that, you need form VAF10 and you also need to have maintained the amount at or above £1600 for the last 3 months. If it drops even a penny below the magical 1600 figure - they will reject it! Although, you are on HSMP yourself, th...

thanks push_hsmp, you managed to clarify it. basically I failed to look at H3 - Tier2 (General) which asks you to go to H5. Since H3 Tier 1(G) asks you to go to H4. Now H4 offers you 2 options - but ticking either one takes you to the same section i.e. J1 - which didn't make much sense to me. Anyway...

Thanks for the eye opener chetanojha...I thought we were still doing HSMP! And just in case you missed my drift - the above was meant to be sarcastic :-) Thanks for all your replies in any case. Alee, First of all HSMP is obsolete now. There is no visa category exist called HSMP. HSMP is replaced by...

Thanks chetanojha http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/pbsdependantspolicy.pdf Been through the guidance policy a gazzillion times already but no where does it mention anything about HSMP extensions for dependants and the maintenance requirement. In the dependent applic...

Thanks for your quick reply. So you are basically saying that the form is wrong. Yes?

Correct me if I'm wrong but according to the form, I need to go straight to section K if I am applying for an extension.

Am I right in thinking that one doesn't need to show maintenance for a dependant if applying for an extension of leave under HSMP? According to the PBS Dependant form: " H5. Is the main applicant making an application as: An initial (switching) application - go to question J2 An extension of his/her...

A large number of speed cameras are not functional and are just there to act as deterrents. However, if the camera is active, it can take from a week to upto 6 months for that dreadful letter to arrive in the post. This is not true. The letter that is being mentioned above is called as NIP (Notice ...

Guys,

Any updates? None here...

Hi all, I was caught by a speed camera last week but I haven't received any notice yet. In the meantime, I am about to submit my tier 1 application. I have read a lot of posts in this forum discussing whether over speed is a traffic offence or not. But in my case, I am wondering if I send the appli...

Hi Guys, I can imagine your irritation as I got the same problem but in the end got Visa. Thanks Allah. Here is my story.

Got an email today stating the same old BS - your application is under process.

hi ummehani, Have you applied dependant visa or spouse visa? i.e. is your husband on Tier1 / HSMP or is he a citizen? Because timelines are completely different for both. The current timelines are very very bad. My wife applied on the 3rd of Dec and has been waiting 7.5 weeks and still no answer. Ma...

Naveed - no updates unfortunately. I haven't emailed Abu Dhabi yet.
