Hi Rajiv, Where did you do your degree from? If it is from UK or any other English speaking country and you have submitted your original degree, then there is nothing to worry. Self Assessment is good enough. Hi all, I am sending my application details Date Applied :19th march Reached Home office : ...
It would not hurt if you submit the IELTS but 6 yrs old one will not be valid. You should do the following: 1) Send you Kolkata degree to NARIC which would confirm that it is acceptable to UK Degrees. Otherwise, the Tier 1 people might say that there is no proof that your degree is up to the level o...
Hi Ayleee, I am 1000% sure this Tier-1 thing is a pure business oriented money making idea. Otherwise, how will they sponsor the London Olympics :) They clearly told me that for no application they would contact the applicant to provide additional documentation. They will simply send a rejection let...
Guys, As I said I applied on 13th March and got a reference number on 19th. What the Home Office people told me was that if your application is to be rejected by a case worker, you will hear the news faster. So all those guys who applied before me or around the same time as me and if you have not he...
Hi guys, I have a very bad news to share. I got the decision from the Home Office today. They rejected my application saying that the document I provided was insufficient to prove that I had enough qualifications. They also said I cannot appeal against the decision. Basically I had a PhD degree from...
I guess you are saying that your current FLR is under work permit or HSMP. If that is the case, Yes, you can apply for Tier-1 months before your current FLR expires. The Home Office calls it Switching :) Please post if you applied foe FLR under Tier 1 .. if you applied early (more than few months) o...
Hi wp2tier1, i think that is a smart thing to do. good luck with everything Hi All, Well I have decided to get my indian passport renewed before I apply for tier1. And consulate in birmingham told me it will take 6 days for me to get new passport. So i should be deferring my tier1 application for co...
Hi Skris, The documents you stated look enough. If you can get a letter from your employer also certifying your income that would help (though not compulsory). DONT FORGET TO WRITE RESPECTIVE NAMES BEHIND THE PHOTOS :) For Maintanence, you can show any personal account (savings or current) which can...

Hi Guys,
Received my reference number today by post. One step closer now. In the letter they say "The processing time is approximately 28 days. Do not contact the office before that time for status enquiry".
I hope the decisions are taken much earlier than that. But lets wait and see!

Cheers hello Sinspider i sent my Tier 1 Application on the 11th of March Recieved Home office : 12th March (sent via royal mail special delivery) Debit card charge...
Hi WP2tier1, I see that they have deducted the money from my Credit Card today. So payment went through. Now am just waiting for them to decide. Regarding your question, you have to send your original passport with the application. I think an expired passport might be a problem (though I am not sure...
