Heres the link: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/waitingtimes/ NM: My fees was deducted on the 14th too, and I have not received the reference number either. Since our cases are so close together it would be good to keep in touch about each other's statuses. Good luck!
Hey Mah, The PBS summary sheet is a nice to have enclosure as right in the beginning the case-worker can understand your situation and knows what to expect in the documentation. It is also a good idea to attach a self addressed special delivery envelope, as times have been turbulent with the Royal M...
Hey velesco_elena, First of all many congratulations for your successful extension. Payment deducted : 24th September Visa stamped : October 20th Total processing time : 22 working days (4 weeks) Looks like around 27 days to me:). I didn’t send the self-address envelope, I felt a bit uneasy but th...
Even if you could do that I wont really recommend anyone to go down that path, since then we will have a one to many relationship between candidates and appointments. Anyways I suspect many people just book appointments to have an option and then cancel it very close to the date of the appointment. ...
Hi Ramesh, The last time I called they told me you cannot call for status before 14 weeks, and that the current typical processing time is up on the site. I am awaiting my reference number, can someone please clarify if this will change once I get my reference number. Also has someone been able to f...
Hey khurram, How you doing mate? Well I dont have all the answers for you, but I have some, and something is better than nothing, so here goes: 3. Birth certificates, I am sending my passports, still do I need to send my birth certificate? 4. Driving License, is that also I need to send? No to both....
You are welcome pal, and many congratulations on your success! I am awaiting my decision breathlessly. I am one of those extremely lucky people who could not get an in-person appointment, although my company was ready to pay for it. phew! :oops: Another piece of luck, I paid by credit card still the...
You can only work in the Uk and Northern Ireland on a Tier1 visa. I am not sure which visa you will need to work in Switzerland, but definitely not Tier1.
Hey Forum, I have recently applied for HSMP -> Tier1 extension. Here are my timelines: Application sent - 8th Oct 2009 Application delivered to HO - 9th Oct 2009 Fees deducted - 14th Oct 2009 (weird, as this was through credit card, but at least it worked, yiipeeee!) Reference Letter received: Not y...
Hi eskay, I am no guru in these matters, but here are my thoughts. I am planning to apply for myself in next month from India(pune-vfs), and I have been maintaining the amount in INR ,which is equivalent to 2800 pounds to show as my maintenance funds from more than 3months. Cool good luck with your ...
Hi extn.t1, Please find comments inline: 3) Age : 20 Points. Evidence supplied in the initial HSMP application. Not so sure about this, the guidance does not mention that it would not be required to send the evidence if it has been supplied with the initial HSMP application. Just mention in your cov...
No, you wont have to send it again for the extension application. Just mention the same in your cover letter and the summary sheet at the end of the application.
Well for once I did the safest thing and attached a self addressed RM SD envelope. So I guess I am covered for the strike, making a huge assumption that everything will go well!
When I go online, there is a section in the left called Card details, in that there is a credit balance number, but for me it does not reflect the fees being debited, would it reflect in there, or would i have to call the bank for an update?
Hey gotcha, How you doing, not heard from you in a long time. Anyways, it does not work that way in LLoyds bank online credit card statements. I have heard it works that way for hsbc and many of my friends have been able to determine if their payments were successful using this method. Alas! Cheers
Well unless you are expecting the case worker to have memorized the form, you would have to include the index. There have been questions about whether we should attach irrelevant sections, like for my case Section 3A and 3B, but for good measure I have sent that as well. So better send the entire fo...
Hi busybee, Unfortunately I have not received anything at all from the HO. I called them and they said they cant confirm about the payment, I need to speak to the bank. I called my bank but the transaction appears in their system in 2-3 days time after it is made so obviously they have no clue. So a...
