Thanks in advance

Irf: Keep hope. The post was 'Recorded Delivery' for me. Which means someone has to sign for it at home. My wife hated me for calling her everyday 10 times to check if the post had come thru when I was waiting for the mail. Regards, Ashraya I call BIA Yesterday, the lady told me tat my case is still...

Its always 3 years from the date of application / receipt, rather than 3 years from the expiration of the last visa. I am in the same situation - I have spent 'almost' two years (3 months less) in work permit, and now have a Tier-1 for 3 years. It means I will have to apply for an extension of Tier-...

Shilpi: 1. I got formal UK payslips, and I did not get them stamped by HR. I still got my approval. Don't let that guide you though, as someone else has said in their post, dont give them a reason to reject. If you can get it stamped and signed by HR, do it. 2. Bank statement without Logo would prob...

Shilpi: Research carefully on what allowances in UK you can claim as salary. I was bitten by that the last time I applied. I was with an Indian company that paid me 'Salary' in India, and Allowances in the UK. The major part of the UK allowances were shown as 'Daily Living Allowance' in the Pay slip...

GoB00st: Oddly, both the stamping date and approval date on the letter seems to be April 9th for me. Regards, Ashraya Hey Ashraya: Bro, great news indeed! I know its a long wait for you, but your result worth it and you need a little celebrate to relax for a while. Wish all the best to your further ...

Sorry, the date on the Passport stamping is 9th April. Not sure what the Actual approval date was, I didnt read the date on the letter, I will do so this evening when I get home and will update. Ashraya Hey Ashraya: Bro, great news indeed! I know its a long wait for you, but your result worth it and...

Friends: I got my papers today, and it is approved. Finally, a big relief. Thanks a bunch to the folks in this forum, it was a great way to keep the spirits up during the waiting time. Especially all those who kept my spirits up since yesterday when I was pretty down. Approval Date: April 9th 2008 D...

Carpra: The point you missed out is that when you apply for Tier-1, There is no fee for Dependants when their application goes with yours. If you apply later however, there is a fee of £350 per application. Also, They have to go thru EC separately in India. Regards, Ashraya Hi urgent thanks for the...

Irf_bar: I had partial success today in enquiring about status. Atleast they confirmed it was being dispatched. The one reason that might work (I know someone else posted that it worked) is that you mention that you are needed to travel, and want to find out if you can put in a urgent treatment form...

Just spoke to HO to Ask for my status. The Person on the phone took my details (Reference Number, Name, and DOB) and checked on it. Initially, She said that they do not provide status checks for Tier-1 applications. I inisisted saying that I have a requirement to travel later this month, and I would...

HSMPAspirant:

Today, I have missed a delivery that came via ParcelForce. It could be some other parcel, but the only one I am expecting is the HSMP papers. How did you guys get the papers back? Was it ParcelForce by any chance?

Ashraya

Thanks for highlighting my ignorance, but that is what I did.

I did submit my UK Payslips (showing only Allowance) and the P60. I did not get the approval because I was using the Indian Salary with the Multiplier to qualify. My understanding was limited at that time. I wonder how your friends qualified. Without the multiplier, to get around 30 points for Salar...

Abhishek: I had last year attempted to get HSMP and failed with such circumstances. If we are paid an allowance in UK, that cannot be shown as Salary. Normally, firms giving Salary in India and Allowance in UK do not pay any NI or other taxes on the UK allowance. So, that cannot be shown as salary. ...

Guys:

Just called HO, and was informed status as "Still with Case Worker, No Decision Yet".

Ashraya

What number are you guys calling? I tried the number 0114 207 4074, Option 1 (Tier 1) and waited and waited for 5 mins with the phone ringing twice this morning. No one seems to pickup. Do you have another number? Ashraya Hi irf_bar: I've just called HO again this morning and this time they say my c...

Guys:

No change in status today either. Just wanted to answer someone elses comment about all payslips being within UK. Mine is the same case, but its not made any appreciable difference, so it is just a draw of luck, I guess.

Guys:

I see quite a few people (including aylee, who got it approved) mentioning Special delivery envelope for returning the docs. I did not see such a thing mentioned, and did not include one - is this cause for concern?

Regards,
Ashraya

Aylee: Thats great, Congrats. For some reason, you recd the reference number also a few days before me, even though I applied earlier. So, the trend continues... Hopefully, I will hear in the next few days. Keeping my fingers crossed. Ashraya Hello Every one .... i have great news This morning i rec...

Guys: All my certificates, like degree original / Marriage certificate etc., are all laminated. (It was a great fad in India to laminate certs so that they would not be damaged a few years back). While the HO has not raised any objections to that previously during my work permit application, I did h...

wp2tier1: 1. My wife's name was not included in my passport either, but my name is mentioned in her passport, as it was applied later. Not sure this makes any difference. Don't fret over it. 2. I am not sure where I read this, but I am pretty sure Marriage certificate was mentioned as a requirement....

I will try and put a scanned copy of the letter online this evening... (Kids permitting...) Ashraya Ashraya, Thanks for the post. Just curious to know what is mentioned with the reference letter. I guess you will be the first person to get the approval. I am also expecting my reference number by tod...

For what it is worth, I have received the same letter (with the 28 days mentioned...) I thought it would have been the same for anyone who has received their reference number, is it not so? Ashraya Hi All, Sinspider says that he received his reference and also the following message "processing time ...

Applied: 6th March
Money Deducted: 8th March
Reference Number Recd: 18th March

Still waiting....
