My personal opinion is T1G as such might not come again (in next couple of years atleast), but have to see how the situation of economy goes and the unemployment figure moves. Few things which you could follow 1. Watch how they are planning for student route. It's a very political/economical challen...

Just got a news from my friend..
he enrolled for biometrics from post office.. charged 16GBP per person, but easier way of giving rather than waiting for PEO's

only worrying thing is how safe are the details with post office.

@immig000
receiving letter for biometrics just means they started ur document review.
It doesn't guarantee any success/failure

mate, can u plz put ur timeline also.. ie when u sent the documents and when u recieved the biometrics letter etc..

Looks like early renewal has caught some attention. My friend got all paperwork back advising to send for extention 28 days before expiry. Thankfully they didn't deduct his money!!! His visa expires end of this year (may be he sent way to early). I feel 3-4 months before expiry is safe bet. I'm not...

Hi friends,
got a query..
Now the form for Tier1 Dependent also has a section to give consent for UKBA to check with the bank.

Who should put the name and address in the
"Name and Address of applicant" ? of section 5?

Is it the main applicant or the dependent?

English test is not applicable to PBS dependants . Thanks Vinny et al.. Just a quick query here.. When I did my Tier1 PBS, i changed it within the UK. Hence the visa is printed as resident permit, rather than a work permit or Tier1 entry clearance etc.. I'm not sure how a "resident permit" is inter...

cheers cuberoot and MICKS.. As mentioned, i've combined few paragraphs and made it crisp .. I felt by using the words " but we believe the existing Tier1 extension criteria will be efficient in dealing with those minority " , this will give us added value of staying in the same criteria, while peopl...
