Thanks Crowbar.

Yes I think I am going to go to the bank personally and request the same in writing and then give them a couple of calls later to make sure my request has been registered in the system.

Its difficult to not be paranoid about this

Hi Forum, This is a day of shocks. First the news about the new form, and now I have heard that LLoyds tsb debit cards are known to be problematic when used for application fee payment for Tier1 extension. Well I was planning to apply tomorrow and have mentioned my lloyds tsb debit card details for ...

Hi Chandra, I might be on shaky ground here, but i think since your leave has now expired, you cannot make a fresh application from here. Instead you might have to go back to your country and apply for entry clearance. If it were a rejection because of some invalid or missing documentation you could...

So effectively we should be able to use all the form with only the page with this typo replaced, correct?

I will find out more about whats different and post it on the group soon.

I did not read it completely, if you did, please share your views. I am dabbling with some pdf diff tools to find the exact differences. Havent found anything substantial as of now apart from form version date changes. I think it is the same. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/application...

The changes do not look relevant to people on HSMP applying for Tier1:

Yeah, no option but to slog a little more now. Couple of questions though: 1) I do not see any changes in the form, if someone knows more about exactly what is different, it might help people like me re-use their earlier forms. 2) Has the PBS dependant form changed as well? 3) The form says we need ...

Thanks mvent00. I was about to send my form today afternoon.

Wonder what would happen to poor people who applied today and did not know about this new form.

I am really annoyed though as I have to now fill a brand new form. I had put this form through a thorough QA round:).

Cheers

Well, its not mandatory. But it will save you a lot of time at immigration when you arrive. Else it will take you another excruciating hour while they arrange to get your x-ray taken to ensure you are not suffering from TB. Depending on the time of the day there might be queues for this as well. Sav...

Pay special attention to the photographs, if you search the group you will see most applications are getting rejected either due to old/invalid photographs or maintenance requirement. These are very easy to get wrong. As CheshireGoan and Tvn_Ramesh suggested, I would second going for a new batch of ...

You do not need to provide any additional evidence. Just mention it clearly in your cover letter that you are assuming the payslips to be treated as evidence of UK experience and hence are claiming 5 points for the same.

I bank with LLoyds TSB. Thats a good idea to request an up-to-date statement. I suppose I could ignore this months salary and still use the same interval for claiming previous earnings as I was going to now. The new bank statement would only strengthen my maintenance fund claims and take the risk ou...

Point taken Ramesh, and thanks for the suggestion Chetan.

I think I might as well wait for this month's statement before taking the plunge.

Regards

Other senior members can you please provide some inputs as well? I am really confused now whether I should wait for another week or so to get the bank statement for this month and then apply, but this might change a lot of my documents, besides delaying my application by 7-10 days. On the other hand...

Thanks CheshireGoan and mvent00. I have not heard from other senior members like tvn_ramesh and push_hsmp in sometime, where are you guys:)? I think I am going to be applying either today or worst case positively by tomorrow, and would be sending the application by RM Special Delivery. If I am not w...

Hi Forum, Thanks to the awesome help from all members here I have almost reached the end of my preparations for my extension application. If everything goes well I might apply in 1-2 days. Here is a final list of documents I am sending through, please let me know if I have missed out on something "m...

Hi mvent00,

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought so too.

I am almost ready with my forms now, will put a final doc check post on the group soon.

Regards

Thanks mvent00, I am trying to find out the correct dates. In the meanwhile I have stumbled over another stone. I just noticed that in some of my payslips where I received quarterly performance bonus from the company, there is a difference between the "Taxable gross pay" and the "NI gross pay". Now ...

Hi Lizrich, Did you provide any reasons in your cover letter for your 5 months early extension application? A question to other people applying 3-4 months early, have you mentioned anything in your cover letter about the reason why you have applied for an early extension? Any inputs would be much ap...

Hi Cheshiregoan,

Thanks for your valuable input. Keep up the good work.

hsmphsmpIndia, I think that answers your queries very well, and mine about my wife's name as well.

Cheers

Hi Mvent00, Firstly thanks a ton for your response. Its getting closer to the application date and I so needed these inputs. On my 3rd question, my degree only mentions "Summer 2001", and the marksheets have different dates as well. Can someone who happens to have a copy of their HSMP initial applic...

I have the same issues with my wifes passport. Senior members please comment.

Hi Forum, Pardon my persistent queries, but I am planning to apply for extension asap next week and I still have some unresolved queries on the form. It would be great to have some inputs on the following: 1) In the previous earnings section, we need to fill an earnings table. Let me give a little b...

Thanks for your inputs Sujyo. Senior members, can you please answer my queries as well?

Regards

Hi Sujyo, First of all congratulations on your application. Now that the painful phase of collecting and collating all the documents is over, lets hope you get a favorable outcome soon. I have a couple of questions: 1) Did you use RM Special Delivery for sending the application? 2) Did you also encl...
