Thanks MrBaboo and sushdmehta for your comments and opinions. sushdmehta, the maintenance requirement is that the funds should be in the account for 3 months immediately prior to the application date (30th May in my case). In that case, why should the 3 month period be considered from 24th Feb?
I had submitted my application from India (VFS - Chennai) on 30th May '08 and had submitted the latest bank statements from my 2 bank accounts as evidence. India bank statement was dated 24th May '08 and UK bank statement dated 25th May '08. The balance in my Indian account was above £2800 from 29t...

Can anyone please help me with this query regarding Tier-1 (General). What is considered as 3-month period immediately before the application? If I had made my application on 30th May 2008, what would be the start date for covering the 3-month requirement for maintenance funds? Please help me with t...
Hi, I am applying for Tier 1 General in India. I have a question around Maintenance Funds evidence for Dependants Tier 1 application. The BIA website mentions this: The evidence provided can relate specifically to the dependant or it can also include evidence for the main applicant which has not bee...
Hi, Is it good to make separate covering letters for each section along with the application? I am not too convinced about this idea so I intend to provide just 1 main covering letter with my application. But any other ideas, suggestions, advice is welcome. Also what about dependent applications? Pl...
chiru1973,
40000 GBP is the upscaled amount and you should not convert it to INR directly. Use the tier-1 points calculator on BIA website and enter your earnings. The equivalent GBP earnings will automatically be calculated using the upscaling factor.

Hi all, I believe the application fees is separately charged for dependents and it is the same as the main applicant i.e. Rs. 51,000/-. So in my case the fees would be Rs. 1,53,000/- (self + 2 dependents). My question is: do we make separate Banker's cheques / Demand Drafts for all 3 applicants or c...
Hi all, In continuation with this thread, I believe the application fees is separately charged for dependents and it is the same as the main applicant i.e. Rs. 51,000/-. So for the main applicant and 2 dependents the fees would be Rs. 1,53,000/-. But can someone please let me know that for paying th...
Hi Kaushal, Congrats on getting through with your tier-1 visa. Appreciate the help that you have been giving to members in this forum. Just thought if I could get some assistance in filling up a couple of sections in VAF9A form, especially since I could not find any guidance notes for this form anyw...
That's what I had also thought. But it seems it is otherwise. It is as we think for applications made within UK. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/pointsbasedsystem/cost/costifyouareapplyingintheuk/ "Any dependant applications sent with your form are free of charge. We will not consid...
I am going to file Tier-1 application for myself and my 2 dependents together in India. Could someone please let me know what is the visa fees that would be applicable in this case? The BIA website (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/pointsbasedsystem/cost/costapplyingfrominindia) says...
iluvuparis, I am also currently in India. But instead of the letter, I plan to get my UK bank statements stamped and signed by the bank for authenticity through my friend in UK. I believe that should serve the purpose. Let me know your thoughts.
Hi Kaushal, Can you give some more clarity on the bank statements requirement for Maintenance funds? If the date of my application is towards end of May, say 20th May 2008, then do my bank statements have to be from 19th March 2008 to 19th May 2008? If that is the case then it is not possible to get...
hussainkothari, Are you sure that for Maintenance funds the statements have to be 3 months exactly from the date of application? To be more precise, does it mean that if the date of my application is tomorrow, 7th May 2008, then my bank statements have to be from 6th March 2008 to 6th May 2008? Can ...
Kaushal, hsmpinuk70 & sushdmehta Many thanks for your valuable comments and insights. I completely understand that it is in our hands not to give the assessing officer any reason to refuse our application. However I am finding it difficult to get a letter from my UK bank since they say it is not a u...
I plan to apply for Tier 1 (General) from India in this month. Could you all please help me with the below questions that I have? 1. As evidence for claiming points for Maintenance Funds, is it mandatory to provide a letter from the bank? I will be submitting the original bank statements, but I am f...
I am planning to apply for the Tier 1 this month from India. If anybody has any updates on requirements of maintenance funds then please let us know. I have read that the requirement for Tier 1 applicants from UK is that the maintenance funds need not be there in your account since 3 months before y...
Kumar, Good luck with your application. Hope that all comes through well for you. I am looking forward to make the application in April. I had these questions if you could help me with. Q1. The BIA website definition for Previous Earnings is as follows: This is a category for which you may score poi...
The BIA website definition for Previous Earnings is as follows: This is a category for which you may score points under the points-based system for coming to the United Kingdom to work, train or study. It means the amount of money you have earned in 12 consecutive months during the 15 months immedia...
If I see it logically, it makes sense to show an active UK savings/current account statement as that would be liquid and the most readily available funds that can be shown as evidence for maintenance when you will be in the UK. Please can someone come forward and give some guidance here? The other q...
Hi all, I am planning to apply under Tier 1 (General) in April. I have a question with regards to claiming points in the Past Earnings category.
