Some people's email approval will have a note below saying where to contact in case of errors or omissions, etc. "Please check your visa immediately on receipt to ensure that we have completed your visa correctly. Please send details of any errors or omissions to xzy.abc123@fco.gov.uk ASAP." I do ...

Mine was processed. I did have an affidavit though.
It may not be completely necessary, but it should be helpful.

after three years...when you have to renew/extend... do you have to go through the whole process again from scratch, or is renewing/extending a simpler easier process..... It seems they are issuing the visa stamping them with the present day rather than the chosen date... i'll know next week if that ...

thank you... this is very useful information.

thank you so much. I was just reading about that... so what happens if you are 3 months short after 5 years because you arrived 3 months later... so, after 3yrs, Tier 1 can be applied/extended for another 2 years, right? how about the second two years (after a total of five years), can you again ...

where do/can you check for status details?

so how would it affect ILR if you simply show up to the UK a few (3-6) months after you visa stamp date? Is there any set specific guidance on this...
other than being able to arrive until the date it expires...
what are the ramifications of arriving a bit later than data visa starts?

This is all I could get, do you think I'm ok. Bank #1: Bank-printed statement, signed and stamped, less than 7 days old. Bank #2: Original bank statements received by post mail, more than 7 days old, but less than one month old. Both Banks cover enough maintenance of funds individually. Neither ...

so can we bank on this: "Alternatively an electronic bank statement bearing the official stamp of the bank in question will be accepted. This stamp should appear on every page of the statement." If I go by the document on http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs ...

supposedly now it is the case that online statements as long as they are stamped then you do not need the letter from the bank...

i have my 2007 tax docs... but not the 2008 ones...
that'll take about another month... or can they be available earlier?
dont think so...

I'm assuming current year tax docs are NOT required if you are already submitting payslips and bank statements as your two different sources, right?

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/changeofcircumstances/ there is a form at the above link, not sure if that is the correct form... However I got an email from WorldBridge saying that you cannot send any more documents after your application has been lodged... what does ...

yes, well, the PDF states: For applications submitted outside of the United Kingdom, all evidence must be dated no more than seven days before the application is submitted. I thought this was changed to 1-month rather than 7-days. But the PDF has not been changed. So how are we supposed to read this?

dingdon...

no bank letter confirming printed/stamped statements are authentic?

guidances have discrepancies among sites and vary depending on date of update.... what's the latest scoop?

So, this link say 1 month: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/inf21pbsgeneralmigrant BUT IT ALSO SAYS "More comprehensive guidance is available on the UK Border Agency website, which is the definitive version, and in the event of any discrepancy overrules the information provided in this ...

so, is it "signed", or is it "stamped"
or is it not BOTH "signed and stamped" ??

do you have a specific link for the new guidance? or paste.

well I agree with you...thanks!!! BUT unfortunately now I cannot wait for my statement to come by mail because I also have to mail my application within TWO weeks of the biometric appointment and I think it will get here shortly after... Since I have two banks which both have enough maintenance ...

I read on the guidelines updated as of December 2008 that the maintenance of funds requirement must now be dated no more than one month prior to the date you submit your application. Is that effective Dec 1. or effective when? Was there any official announcement regarding this change? I was about to ...

nice, congratulations...
which bank was kind enough to give you the letter stating the 3-month minimum...

also, to your biometric appointment all you had to bring was passport and appointment confirmation, right? no app, no supporting docs..

i looked around for another half hour... but didnt find any policy mentioned how to handle differing names. May name is not completely different, it's just that the passport has one additional last name than ALL my US documents... I have a notarized name affidavit and an explanation on the ...
