It's standard practice that visas may be postdated no more than three months from application. Be that as it may, there is nothing that prevents you from applying now, getting the visa now, and not actually using it until August/September/October. Presumably you have already been issued the unique r...
Your conviction on the charge of fraud by false representation is a criminal conviction that must be declared in your T1(G) extension application. Such an unspent conviction does not constitute an automatic refusal, but a refusal on that ground is possible. It may be reasonably assumed that having f...
I certainly agree: the fact that you are being shortlisted indicates that you (more than likely) have adequate technical skills. However, given the length of your previous work experience, one might infer that you are applying for jobs that are not near the bottom of the ladder; as such, the technic...
The fees that you should pay are the standard £1000 + £500 for yourself and your dependant respectively. See: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/cost/# The transitional arrangements applied to you in 2008 when you used your HSMP approval letter to obtain a first grant o...
You mention simultaneously that this was an extension application and that it was covered by transitional arrangements. Is it possible that you submitted payment for the reduced fee (for those with an HSMP approval letter who had not yet obtained the associated visa) rather than the full fee (which ...
Many thanks for your comments. i had shown my earnings for period may 09 to jan 10 with sufficeint points. i came to uk @ end of jan 10. I think earning claim period is okay in this way. isnt it? Still we have 3 months visa so thinking of waiting for next 2 months before either applying her visa as...
If I understand your situation correctly, you claimed earnings from a period preceding your full-time studies, and I infer that that same claimed earnings period did not fully fall into ca. April 09 - June 10 (the 15 months preceding your application). Are you absolutely positive that you were allow...
Thanks for the news. I think there is no problem for ILR if I only need to show current extension salary criteria. By the time of ILR, I will have degree as well and it will give me more leverage means I can show lower salary as I will achieve more points in education. The only question remaining i...
It is surprising. Did you provide an employer letter saying your 122 days is "paid leave"? If it is "paid leave" or "business trips", they should not be "absence" at all, no matter how long a stretch they are! In other words, if all your time abroad is paid in UK, your absence is 0 Go and speak wit...
Hi there, 3,4 For ILR, they are changing rules. i.e. you need to qualify for salary criteria to apply for ILR. Hi jimmymcad, what is your source for this (I mean the official statement indicating that this will or may occur)? The plan, as suggested in November: Skilled and highly skilled migrants w...
When I prepared my extension application, I asked HSBC for a statement to date halfway through the normal statement period. They sent by post a statement like all the others that covered the half-month - no hassles, no questions. You should wait to see what this temporary (or interim) statement is. ...
In the Tier 1 General guidance , the provision re degree documents is covered in point 89 (page 16). 89. An applicant who has previously been given permission to stay in the United Kingdom under Tier 1 (General) or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, and previously scored points for the same quali...
ya bro.........i also wish the same. I believe a FALSE document represent details of the things which we don’t have/possess with us. Since the ECO can see the salary credit to my account so there is no way this can be a False document i will mention in the AR that i submit a scanned copy of the s...

I think the challenge will be for you to demonstrate that these earnings are from a business that you run or from employment, rather than merely unearned income (which is what they would otherwise appear to be, at least to me).
what you saying may be true for small to medium sized companies where you have more influence as an individual. But where I worked it was a 40000+ employee company worldwide. At that sort of size company you just become a number and the company has rigid structures/policies/procedures in place. I a...
gordon my first hand experience with Tier 1 with my employer was not good. I asked if they would pay for my existing visa since I had stayed with the company for 2 years. The response I got from them was 'We dont pay for Tier 1 visas only Tier 2' . Essentially saying that if you have the freedom to...
I don't think it would be an easy step asking my boss to contact HR to write to HO about contributions of Tier 1 Migrants.......An easier step is to ask them to sponsor me for a Tier 2..... :roll: Roll your eyes if you like, but remember that the Government and the MAC listened to all those employe...
Bearing in mind that the Government have orientated their attention toward employers rather than employees (cf the consultation as well as the resulting shift away from T1G), I question whether a petition or letter-writing campaign from Tier 1 visa-holders will carry very much weight. I would have t...
could it be another factor? HR interview is not just about UK experience. I think there could be something regarding your soft skills, such as team work, communication skill, problem solving, influence, etc. I would agree with this, and would add that any suggestion in the interview that the job re...
hi, Please note I'm not going to be in deception mode which I would not prefer to and will not . Im going to disclose the fact that in a note saying that my UK allowances in pounds arent inlcluded, and only my Indian earnings in INR is disclosed and a uplift factor is applied to it .... Hi, Is this...
In the past, it has been the case that the UKBA would refuse applications where information submitted could not be verified; however, I seem to recall that there was actually some guidance to indicate that this failure to verify would not in itself be grounds for an accusation of deception. Your dec...
It may be the case, however, that the OP may not be able to use his January 2010 earnings in the Tier 1 application; see p 22 of the application guidance : 115. We will not consider earnings made during a time when the applicant was in breach of the United Kingdom's immigration laws. For example: Ea...
I can't see how their email is helpful; it has a specific exclusion vis-a-vis lost/stolen passports (emphasis mine). IF YOU ARE TRANSFERRING A VALID VISA/ENTRY CLEARANCE YOU SHOULD COMPLETE THIS FORM. This form should be used to request the transfer of a valid visa into a new passport. You must subm...
