Anyone, please help..

Amber, To extend the question further, assume one gets T1-dependent visa for UK-born child, however doesn't extend (to save money) so that parent apply directly for child settlement after parent ILR. Thus, technically "overstayer for direct settlement". However , if situation arise and chi...

Confirmed. New tax-free childcare is not a public fund.

Just received email from a reputed childcare voucher provider of our company.

Reading legal consultation is not my forte. From document, it talks about 'working in UK' but not UK national per se. Anyone, any views please? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/318953/PU1607_Tax_free_Childcare_response.pdf Support for parents resident or work...

Friends, I being on tier-1 and spouse as dependent, does this TFC scheme falls in public fund? Or, it does not because it is connected to 'when you earn, then gov adds it as tax relief'. Really appreciate any reference material to point to either direction or how to confirm it. The new TFC scheme wi...

Hi mate,

I got biometric 4 days back (Thursday if I remember).
Acknowledgement letter was received on Monday before.

I don't have any dependent on my application though so it may be one reason.. but overall.. its slower process now it seems..

Hi O_Relly,

Scanned document was just sponsorship letter or bank statement, payslips etc as well for your/friends' case?

False Alarm. Just saw post on extn timeline and it seems payment is done and going to reflect soon.. Re: Tier 1 (General) extension application processing timeli Postby lezzfrancis » Fri Mar 27, 2015 12:29 pm @ash241 It could take a couple of days for it reflect on your credit card account. You shou...

Hi, For my tier-1 extension visa, I see UKBA receiving my special delivery application on 7th April. However, no payment has been deducted till now. Checkend with Bank and it hasn't decline it either. From extension timeline thread, payment is deducted very next day when UKBA receives it. How can I ...

test case sounds so better than a HOME-OFFICE Guinea Pig as they are making people now

For any 3-year extn main/dependent, it adds £600 per applicant.
After NI and so much tax AND taking company private medial cover, this feels like just day light robbery.

Hi Vinny, Due to EU business visit, I posted my T1-Extn application on 4th April (royalmail) and it means payment will be processed after 6 April, 2015 i.e. application is pre 06 April but payment is post 06 april The line "you’ve APPLIED and PAID your visa fee on or after 6 April 2015" is...

I am extending because I don't have choice. But for you.. well... If you are that worried, happy to afford money rather than worrying about that single driving mistake, switch to a tier-2 general if mess up... health impact due to unnecessary stress.. go ahead.. get it extended.. If you think.. you ...

Your payslip copies (sponsors).
With regular income of yours, it should be easier for her.

and all wife(s) transfer that stress to hubbies.

Just to be on safer side: Its better to get the letter from her current employer, plus your sponsorshipl letter/3-months slips shall be more than enough.

Few suggestions for you - 1. If sponsor (you/wife) is permanent salaried employee and sponsoring, better chance of approval. 2. Change return date later: With £500-£600 in account, better book flight tickets for say 2-weeks and plan application as of 2-week visit. After arrival, change flight dates ...

Hi, 1. Travel insurance: I prefer Bajaj Allianz travel insurance (available online). Below 60 year age and above 60 year age has different premium so check. 2. Medical certificate: Not required. One caveat for any travel insurance is: they do not cover existing medical conditions which means they ar...

Pranav, Thank you!!! It was a good note and set the alarm. In canary wharf, I walked to one post office to check about Sat 04 April opening and called another post office (back up 8) ) to reconfirm myself. They are open on all Saturday mornings including long weekend one but collection is 12ish noon...

I need to attend client in EU before I apply for T1-extension.
Since, UKBA will not accept application from 6-April which is a Monday, can I send my postal application on Friday or Saturday i.e. Apr 03 or April 04?

Consider paying by "cheque" instead of card.
It will add a few more days as funds need to clear before case worker start working on case.

Your dependent has both the options open (1) FLR route (2) T1 dependent extension route. If you go FLR route, clock resets again to zero @FLR start date to count 5-years further. If you go T1-dep extn route, your clock remains unchanged i.e. from Oct-13 to count 5-years Its been discussed in forum m...

Same case. Just returned 7 days back. Applied VFS Mumbai. 1. Either parent can apply. Consent letter of spouse is enough. My wife applied and my sponsorship letter as T1-main. 2. He MUST have TB certificate. For infants, doctors don't use x-ray machine but basic checks. Take Appointment. It takes 2-...

Just did from India for UK born child. 1. Application form 2. Photos 3. Child Passport 4. Both parents passports copy, visa copy 5. Birth Certificate 6. Maintenance funds 7. Sponsorship/Cover Letter Additional, if you want 8. Employment letter 9. TB report (for some countries) 10. Local council tax ...

first, you won't your existing leaves even if they deny you third extension. Second, you can apply anytime before expiry. If get from date of decision if applying too early. From end of existing expiry, if in last 28-days of expiry. Lastly, I don't have documentary prove to support rejection/accepta...

duplicate.

I would suggest spend some time on the forum and you should find the answer for more latest update. Professional help won't be much good for extension. It is a yes/no based on rules. On other hand, sticky I mentioned is from S.Mehta and knowing this forum, I would say he (or other mod) would have up...
