Hello I am in the process of applying for my wife's Tier 1 dependant visa. I just encountered that the statement for my maintenance funds are from the ICICI Hi-Save account. These are not exclusively online account but their statements are delivered electronically only. I checked with ICICI UK but, ...
Be quick . Thanks for that. Just learned from the Indian Embassy's UK website that one can apply for re-issue of passport one year before expiry. If this is the case, I will then apply for new passport this year and then can file for dependent visa in Jan 2012, after the marriage. I guess, this wou...
Hello All, I got engaged to a girl in India few days ago and we are planning to get married sometime in Late Jan or early Feb 2012. But, the problem here is my Passport is set to expire in May 2012 & in August 2012 I complete the five year period for my Tier 1 visa. (I entered UK in August 2007, i.e...
Glad someone asked this... Assuming you'll land in Heathrow and would move somewhere in London & then start searching for jobs. Just like i did. TAXI: You can book a minicab (pre-arranged cab) online say from www.londonheathrowcars.com or likewise... or you can take the Heathrow express (~£16) to r...
1. How do I get a tenancy agreement for the family when my current tenancy is for my single room in a houseshare? For my wife and 2 kids, I would need atleast 2 rooms. What are the options for sourcing the tenancy agreement? Leaving HO, immigration & other things aside - where will your family stay...
Why are you looking on direct.gov.uk for the answer to your question? 'coz the Cayman Islands embassy in london asked me to - as they don't handle any passports/visas. And the Passport Office has no real dealings with non-British passport holders or people applying for British passports so i don't ...
I had earlier called the Identity & Passport Office based on - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/TravellingAbroad/BeforeYouTravel/DG_4016874 Where it states : "If you are a foreign national or Commonwealth citizen you will need a visa to visit British overseas territories (like Bermuda ...
Hi, This maynot be the right forum, if so, I'll move it. I was wondering if one can visit BOTs (British Overseas Territories) as a tourist under Tier 1 visa. I just want to be there for a week or two. From http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/vafs/ - I get this form VAF8A which mentions 'is for u...
For maintenance, the funds should be instantly accessible. FDs by the very name imply they are locked away for a certain period like 2yr or 5yr & you incur a fee to terminate the deposit. (~90days interest) So, I don't think this is a valid source for maintenance. (unless the FD is maturing close to...
Depends when you're sending the application. HO only needs it to ascertain that you have had the funds over the previous 3 months & that you can sustain your initial period with that. Which means, if you are applying today 18Feb10, you must show them a minimum of £2800 (for single applicant) over t...
2.Currently I am applying for my self only and I am not applying for my dependents, However I am planning to apply for them after 4 to 5 months . Hence I am not maintaining any funds for my dependents currently. I am maintaining the amount which is equivalent to GBP 2800 for my self in my salary sa...
Though 1yr allowance is legal, I suggest you to get UK license asap. The similarity between Indian & UK driving ends with being "left-hand side drive". There are lots of rules which we wouldn't have followed (eg turning in a roundabout) but you need to be aware & practise them here. So better be saf...

Good comment. This should be put on noticeboard, so all new applicants can understand its impact. Welcome to the group of people who have rushed to get Visa and then took time to plan thing and hence delayed by months (My sympathy for people whe genuinely had issue moving immediately). What they don...
Just to re-affirm things at our end. Are you sure the visa extension is until Sep 2011? and NOT Sep 2012? 'am not questioning your maths but just that we tend to overlook when we are all excited. Hi All, I have been approved for 2 years instead of 3 years. Initially I was granted the Visa for 2 year...
Hi all, I went through few airlines website, but all allow only 20 kgs luggage. Please let me know if u know @ any airlines which allows u to take more baggage. Thanks in advance! Regards, Sjidh BA allows you to book excess baggage online & you would get 30% off their excess baggage charge. Cost de...
But aren't Lloyd's supposed to give you statements without missing any dates? Why did they miss 11th June, between 45 & 46 statement numbers? If there was no transaction, weren't they supposed to show the balance carried over from 10th? I guess it is easier for you to ask them to re-issue statement ...
