Thanks 'mulderpf', that sounds good and hopeful

I think - the recruiters would be more comfortable calling a UK number.
So, am checking if there is any way.
I am hoping to have some interviews lined up and then accordingly be present in UK.

Is there anyone in UK who has tried or used such a "call forwarding" functionality?

I have T1(G) visa, but am not in UK yet. I would prefer to have some interview dates before I actually arrive in UK. For this, I need to have a UK phone number. Is it true that the skype online number can be recognized by recruiters? I have searched for UK local sims that can be bought, but using th...

1. Country of application : India 2. City of Visa Application Centre : VFS Pune 3. Date of application : 24-Nov-2010 4. Date of submission of documents (if different from 3 above). 5.

I was planning to submit my passbook too, but I think if you MUST submit it, then check with the seniors if every page needs to be stamped and signed. Additionally, check if it is possible to get the statements from a bigger branch or from the main branch/HO, wherever it is. My account was at IDBI b...

I spent the 22nd collecting, finalizing all docs. I visited the VFS center on 23rdNov after some last minute docs photocopying. The guy at the application center said 'this is the wrong DD sir, the fees have increased to 56250INR' ME: "But I have taken the DD on 15Nov, doesnt that make my date-of-ap...

yes; you did provide a helpful answer. Thanks a lot. I am trying to find a way to avoid visiting the bank manager again for the letter. I have already taken a letter from the bank manager dates 16 Nov stating that the minimum funds during the 3 month period is Rs.xxx; latest funds is Rs.xxx; exchang...

maintenance fund documents can be 'up to one month' earlier from date of application.

if the above is valid, then why do I need the "proof of exchange rate on the day of applying".

My Maintenance Funds: Claim Period: 10 Aug 2010 to 15 Nov 2010 (more than 3 months) Conversion Rate considered is 73.80634INR per GBP, as on 15 Nov 2010. Letter and account statement taken from the bank dated 15 nov 2010. Shall I submit the same letter and account statement from the bank dated 15 No...

The policy guidance says that the date of application is the date that the payment of the fees is done.

search in the pdf for "date of application"

Went to apply for the visa today after gathering and finalizing all the documents yesterday. Obviously, I did not find any time to look at the changes on 22Nov. I had paid using the DD option, and they obviously refused my DD of 51750. Can anyone quickly throw some light on the latest changes? The s...

as the seniors would rightfully suggest: please go thru the policy guidance at the UKBA site. For the earnings, its been explained properly in the guidance. For the conveyance/allowances question: gross salary is mentioned in the payslip. It may include allowances. No need to deduct it from gross sa...

Thanks a lot.
That link cleared a lot of doubts about the exchange rate.

I know that we have to submit vaf9 and PBSappendix forms; what is the t1-general form? mods / seniors - please help. I found one more pdf "t1_checklist.pdf" and a "PBS Tier 1 General Migrant.pdf" they consist of checklist of different documents submitted. Do we have to submit it ? It says on the top...

My 12 months Previous Earnings period is: 01 Nov 2009 to 31 Oct 2010 According to http://www.oanda.com/currency/classic-converter Sunday, October 31, 2010 xxx,xx8 Indian Rupee = xx,xxx.8 British Pound Median price = 0.01378 / 0.01410 (bid/ask) So, what is the Exchange rate I should be using in the P...

I am still working with the same company, and I havent taken a break or significant holiday in the 12 month period. My earnings period will be start: 01 Nov 2009 end: 31 Oct 2010 bank transactions shown from start: 25 Oct 2009 end: 10 Nov 2010 (coz the Oct salary was deposited on 2nd Nov) This shoul...

aruni, thanks a lot for answering the questions. Arranging the documents in different plastic folders is a good suggestion :) About the earlier query about the start-date and end-date for the 12 months earnings: I figured out that whatever the start and end date I specify, it will signify the earnin...

:( I hope to receive an answer to my earlier question in this post. I am gathering the cover letters format now. Some more questions that I have now: 1. VAF9 form, Part 5b: What proof should I be submitting for my father's and mother's date-of-birth and age proof? Is it ok to submit their respective...

Seems confusing... I know few guys who has applied on 1-2 november and got their Tier 1 visa on 10 Nov ... Confirmed cases. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsfragments/27-intro-limit-for-t1-pbs The interim limit does not affect: applicants who are already in the UK (with current per...

I am continuing with this post because my case is very much similar to the questions asked above, and it maybe easier to refer to some query above, if I have any doubt about them. As the title already indicates, am seeking guidance before applying. I have almost all the data and maintenance-fund rea...

The Tier1(General) 'Guidance' says that: At the end of the interim period, applications that have not been concluded will be considered in accordance with the new rules that replace the interim limits. .... Therefore, UKBA cannot guarantee that any application will qualify under the new rules, which...
