Do we have to do as the Romans do or in effect we are embarrassed of our culture when in phirangi land? What is the corporate language of India? What if I give a farewell speech in hindi at Goldman Sachs,Mumbai incase I was moving to another company? Why do politicians in India, the army, the police...

I actually gave it a thought...my understanding says that you can break the GBP 2800 as per your different accounts. But then UKBA says and I quote "If you are applying from outside the United Kingdom, the balance must show that you have had at least £2,800 in your account at all times over the thr...

Yes it will be easier for ECO to audit/check. More you could also mention the page numbers of the bank statements, in your cover letter, where salaries are being credited.

It should cover minimum 90 days...it does not have to be just 90 days...the more the better... For example if you apply on 14th May 2010, you can run a bank statement from 1st February to 7th May 2010 (more than 90 days) and that will be just fine as long as the number of days between 14th May 2010 ...

No. It needs to be in one account. This is where the catch is..you need to have maintained GBP 2800 in one account and it should not have dropped below this amount during 90 day period and there should not be more than 1 month gap between the date the 90 day period ends and the date of your applicat...

Hi, Ya I know its good to be optimistic and stuff..and I am sure people will command a better pay packet with UK experience. But remember post April 2010, the darn Tier 1 visa is valid for only 2 years and I think you need a good 2 years of UK experience to probably go for a higher income bracket in...
