Hi,
Confused by the statement in the faq that says,

- Parent's passport showing ILR / BRP. (photocopies of all pages are accepted)

Are photocopies accepted instead of the original passports?

if you claim a benefit to which you are not entitled it is a breach of your conditions. HMRC are not the UKBA. In addition, they are known to make mistakes, and pay someone a benefit to which they are not entitled which can then cause problems when it comes to applications to the UKBA. It is very c...

You should not apply for a benefit that you are not entitled to it is a breach of your conditions if your visa says 'no recourse to public funds' and you do not fall into one of the categories highlighted by John (i.e. from a certain country). If you continue reading the rest of the page, you will ...

what exactly do you think is different as to change John's answer that a Tier 1 migrant from India cannot claim child benefit unless she or her spouse has worked in Canada and paid Canadian social security contributions ? The table on the section of the link http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefit/star...

In that case there is no entitlement to claim Child Benefit while you are still on a time-limited visa ..... unless by chance you or your spouse worked in Canada (where the terms of the Social Security agreement between the UK and Canada would give you the right to claim UK Child Benefit, as long a...

Hi-When did 75 pts for attributes change to 80 pts?? If this keeps changing how do I know I meet the pts when I apply for extension??

This link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... ettlement/ states that the ILR laws may be tightened. Will it have any impact on Tier-1 extensions if it comes into force?

or, what if I to get an MBA meanwhile before applying for Tier 1 extension in 2012? Is a MBA by correspondence(open university) recognised by UKBA?

I showed 6 months of Indian salary and 6 months UK salary which met the objective of being in the correct band for initial Tier2 to Tier1 switch. Now, for extension I would not be showing an Indian salary.So, I believe my task now should be to get a high paying job as soon as possible.

Since I have applied for Tier 1 after April 2010, now during extension in 2012, I will have lesser points if I continue in my current salary band. Salaries above 50-55k are not so common, and employers anyhow do not pay so much if they see that my Tier 1 is valid only for 2 yrs. Do we foresee that t...

Hi, My tier-1 will go for extension in 2012 at which point my salary should be in the £50-55k band which I currently not at. If i get a job in that salary band just at the time of application will it do, or I need to show proof of being in that band for a certain period of time?

Anyhow, thanks to all for your help.
I and my wife applied for Tier-1 on 18th Sept, and received our Tier-1 visas on 4th Oct. Visa is valid for 2 years.

Thanks all!

Is there any way to track my application online?

Hi What is the earliest and latest waiting period in weeks before UKBA notifies a Tier-1 applicant of its decision?

Did you send by recorded or normal delivery? coz royal mail is too lazy in updating... so wait for few more days ..

Hi, I have sent it through recorded delivery- so I can track it online.

BTW, will i get a receipt from UKBA once they collect it?

Hi, My Tier-1 application by royalmail post to UKBA is sitting in the PO Box for the last 3 days. Any idea how often they collect it?

Hi, If I do not need to explain any thing in detail; and my Tier 1 form and evidences all straight forward- do I need to add a cover letter to state what is already covered in various sections of the form?

Hi, the sections to be filled-up do not start till Page 7. Do we need to print and send the preceding contents upto Page 6 which are like Table of contents, help and instructions?

Hi, when my visa processing is going on, what kind of ID could I use for travel inside the UK by flights? Is a passport mandatory for domestic flights??

Hi, I got my Tier-2 in Dec'09 from bangalore. My biometrics were taken at the VFS centre. But except for the visa stamp, I haven't received any other document called 'biometric residence permit'. What is this, and if I don't have one how will it impact my Tier-1 application?

Hi, Is the home-office fussy about using white ink remover to mask minor mistakes in the application form?

Hi,
My marriage and degree certificates are laminated? I have heard that lamination is considered as tampering. Will homeoffice reject laminated evidences?
