I had emailed BHC chennai regarding this question and see the answer. Thank you for your e-mail. There is no clause you have to travel within the first three months of visa stamping. The expiry date will be shown on the visa, but remember that this is also the last day on which you are permitted to ...

No, I did not get any letter. I guess people applying from India are not getting any letter just visa stamped in passport (if approved).

Yes, now a days integra verification is taking more than a month time. There is nothing to worry.

Certainly it will affect the points based visa system. They might restrict the number of applicants depending on the requirement. Check this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7605455.stm But shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve, for the Conservatives, said: "A points-based system without a...

Finally I received my passport with visa today. The complete process took 8 weeks.

Application Date: 10th July,2008
Applied From: VFS, Bangalore
Visa Type: Tier1 General(Fresh)
Passport received: 5th Sept, 2008

According to the tier1 guide. 206. This evidence must be original, on the official letter-headed paper or stationery of the organisation and bearing the official stamp of that organisation. It must have been issued by an authorised official of that organisation. For applications submitted outside of...

I don't think admin review will help. E-bank statements are accepted only if they are signed and stamped by bank.

Well then no option other than waiting for Nov.

Arun,

did you metion in your mail to BHC that you have a post dated Tier1 visa?
Your WP should be valid till Nov 1st.

If it is waiting to be assigned to ECO then wait for 2 more weeks.

Did you try contacting BHC Chennai through email or phone call?

So did Integra inform her that they will mail her again to get the details confirmed?

I dont know how she disclosed that to you but usually HR policy dont allow anything to disclose. If they have not come back to your HR then I dont see anything to worry about.

How did you know that Integra will mail your HR again to confirm the details?

Congratulations vtaneja,

It was really fast. But BHC Chennai is really horrible.
Each day I hear different version of my application status from BHC chennai. Already 1 month and 10 passed.

h_s_m_p,

when did you apply for Tier 1? and when was it approved?

Even I was also told that Integra takes 15 working days to verify but for me it is more than 15 working days still BHC has not got report from Integra.

kiran_mannava,

Lots of people waiting for their status including me.
Try to call BHC Chennai , its all your luck.

Even I don't know. May be someone who has got approval and knows where to look can tell you.

I guess you might have got one approval letter. Is there any date ?

UKSeeker123,

Congratulations, you are really lucky to get the approval with more than 7 days old bank statements .

Could you please let us know the date of approval and when the visa got stamped.

No, its not a requirement. VFS asked me if I have the offer letter of my present company and I had at that time. He even asked me for tax return docs which is no where mentioned. I did had with me at the time of submitting the form so I denied giving that. Remember VFS does not have any influence on...

No I didn't submit any employment history. I have just provided my present company offer letter and latest form 16. sarjunwadkar, when did you get the call from BHC? And has any mail been sent to your HR for verification? Even I got a call on 30th July to my office extension. She said she is calling...

Hi rvi,

did you try inquring about your status with BHC?
any call from Integra for verificatio to you or your HR ?

I dont think bank can change the text. This mistake must have been done by your company while crediting your salary. The text we see on the bank statements for the salary is given by the company depending on their format. Did you check with any of collegue if he/she also see the wrong text in bank a...

Hi Anant,

As far I remember the criteria of statement not less than 7 days old started from July 1st.
If you have sufficient fund and your EC was just rejected based on last statement date you can go for admin review.
This is my suggestion , I might be wrong as well.

tapraveen,

congratulations , atleast you got some update.
Did you apply fresh Tier 1 or did you apply for EC with HSMP approval letter?

I just called up BHC chennai and according to them Integra generally takes around 15 working days to provide the verification report back to BHC. My application is still pending from Integra.
