It may be that the someone with the similiar name is held on criminal dtatbase and they want to double check so nothing to worry about.

It is unlikely to be HMRC because most oftne they ask applicant to come get the addiotinal info from HMRC

I have not posted here to create an argument , but if we all write to our local MPs and tell them this is going to be presented in parliament on mar 14 atleast there is a probability that it might come down a bit if not back to £750 / dep.

we should challenge it in court..this is exploitation Unfortunately, we can't. Lets put this into a different perspective. T1 visa is for highly skilled migrants. 1500 pounds for an extension of two years is 750 pounds per year. If one cannot pay this in his/her stay, UKBA can challenge how can he/...
