Hi, My Visa states Limited Leave to Remain - I had applied for extention under Tier 1, after 2yrs as HSMP. So, shouldn't it say Further Leave to Remain?? Details: HSMP Entry clearance: Aug 07 Visa Expiry: Aug 09 Now visa extended until Aug 2012 but says Type of Permit Tier 1 General Migrant Remarks ...

I guess they are passing a bill to make it as 8yrs from July '11, instead of 5yrs. So, in anycase you will be applying for an extension isn't? i am worry if 5 years period starts from my arrival, then it means i have to apply again for another extension, after 3 years? or will qualify for ILR with 5...

I think it's T3, will confirm through someone if possible.

Finally,

Tier-1 Extension approved.

Documents sent: 29-06-09
Fee Deducted: 01-07-09
Visa stamped: 17-07-09
Documents received: 22-07-09

Total 18 days.
Approved until Aug 2012. (Initial expiry Aug 09).

What a relief at last...

Well he didn't literally stop me, just acted as if he is more worried than UK immigration authorities. I had used it 5 months back and it wasn't the one used by all. As you enter in to Immigration hall in Heathrow, it is at left-end. In the centre, you have the common counters & towards far-right yo...

Even though it is called a PG Diploma, you spend 2 years studying it.

So I think duration of the course is more an important factor than what they call it.

I guess you are referring to 15/house. Sadly, it's true. There are places where 13 to 15 ppl share a 3 bedroom house/ flat. One can imagine how crowded that would be. Even those costs 100+/week/person. My advise for you would be to stay in a public hostel like YMCA etc for few weeks / months and the...

How then will the right hon. Gentleman fund his garden expenses? Congrats. For an extension, I think its only the economic circumstance which can change, so why dont home office simpliify the process of just asking for a bank statement and salary slip and grant the visa?? :). They unnecessarily make...

It appears that HO haven't yet collected my application packet from the PO Box. It's been 22 days since I sent it. The Royal Mail spl delivery tracker says, "Your item with reference SCxxxxxxxxGB has reached its PO Box and is awaiting collection/delivery" I called up HO in the 0870 number and they s...

Yes there is. It is a forum similar to ours. Note: I'm in now way related to this site nor do I get any £££s from them. www.spammer.com/uk-immigration-trackers/tier-1-general-extension 1) Post your timeline first. 2) Then keep track of your application and see how ppl who have applied along with ...

Summon, Complaint, deffered-payments etc are different from Default, conviction, Criminal offense... Don't confuse them & lose your sleep over it. You don't have to declare anything nor should you be guilty over anything. Period. Hi Kapoor/nksg/chetan, To be more presise these guys send me a letter ...

I wouldn't carry £4k as cash. Can you not convert them as Traveller's cheques? it would be much less riskier to carry them isn't?

Thanks.

I think the problem is more with the Immigration officers in India (esp Mumbai) rather than UK, because over there they fail to understand the logic of "going to another country and searching for a job/ without a job"; I had to explain a great deal about HSMP & Immigration to them. Once you land in ...

Not 100% true, Not 100% wrong. Depends...on the case & the docs provided.

Can't believe this..Is something wrong with 29th? I had applied on the same day & still haven't heard from them. Ppl who have applied on 26th (Fri) & 1st July (Tue) have received theirs on 15th & 17th respectively. I can't think straight - such as case worker load, 6 weeks normal turnaround time etc...

It is not required but you may want to attach a spl delivery envelope and take the reference number. You can use this to track where your packet is currrently by using tracker in Post Office's website. In one case, HO had sent it but the post was mis-placed. Luckily, throught this ref they were able...

Hi, If ur friend really insists on authentic advice from specialists he/she can do a google search by typing in PBS Tier 1 Chennai India. I think we need to advertise ourselves & spread to word wider, in order reach new entrants. Yes, Imm Consultants might be helpful in complex cases but for 99% of...

One country is not the criteria. It's £800 minimum on all days over the past 3 months + the liquidity. As with your question, it has to be looked in at a more detail level because 1) it would depend on how much you had at Country X & its Xchange rate over past 90days Vs GBP. 2) & Great deal of exp...

Let me know the outcome, never mind the day(s).

Why few days? I think from Chennai the document should be delivered next day itself. Or may be day after. Wht do u say?

Mani,
My posts were reg RM74. Regret any confusion caused.

Yes, I'm alright baldude, if not I wouldn't be making this point. You don't really seem to appreciate the fact. I'm trying to prevent very early applications so that ppl like you & me are given sufficient time to sort out our visa first. You still haven't sorted out your papers yet. Imagine the case...

It's really amusing because Reddy, you neither are the benefactor nor the affected party. I wonder why none of the members who have rcvd FLR, 7 or 8 months in advance are commenting. For your information There is time lines for extending VISA in FLR .......and yes there is a time line for ILR should...

Since you have already got HSMP, there shouldn't be any problem. Just wait for few days and you will know it.
