I don't see anything that says it must be a current or savings account. I have read through the requirement again and again. Here - http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/poststudy/supportingevidence/maintenance/ And it says it has to be cash funds. "Evidence must be in the form of ca...
Thank you vks. This is the wording. My husband read it over the phone so maybe not 100% correct. ---- You are required to show that your spouse has the equivalent of £533 available to support you in the UK. You have provided credit card statements covering the period 15 dec to 15 march 2010. Howeve...
Hi All Got the bad news today that my husband dependant visa has been refused. Bummer! We just got married and no honeymoon :-( Spending it apart. I had to return to the UK to work. I am waiting for him to send me the documents, but I suspect it was because it was a credit card statement. I have cas...
Hi all, My partner is in the UK with a visit visa (6 months) and I have Tier 1. We decided to get married after he arrived for visit and have applied for COA end of November 09. January 09 we send affidavit and documents to proof our relationship. (We were very clear that we only decided to get marr...
Hi Casa, thanks for the reply. I realise he will have to return to our home country. But it saves us both flying back there to get married. He can fly on his own and apply for a dependant visa. (I have a tier 1.) I will include a letter explaining this to the application. I will also apply for a COA.
Jean-Paul, did your friend have any luck with her COA application? My boyfriend is visiting me and I want to do something similar. We didn't plan to get married before he came to visit, but I am scared that they may view it as deception... He has been here for more than a month and still has 4 month...
I had my own limited company and also found out too late that any expenses I claimed does not count towards my earnings. If you still have time to make up then keep your expenses back and don't claim them until the you have earned enough over a 12 month period. I manage to pay myself a rather big di...
[quote="mah"] I want to see if I apply a few months before the expiry, do they extend from the date of the expiry of the first visa or not? thanks, Mah[/quote] They extend it for three years from your the date your visa expires. My visa expired Nov 2009 and was extended on the 3rd of September until...

Hi, I want to sponsor my unmarried partner for a visit visa to the UK. From South Africa. He recently went back after his working-holiday visa expired. I'm hoping he gets it for 6 months and can stay for 4 or 5 months. After that we may get married or he may apply for a student visa. I am not sure w...
Hi, Would be grateful for any advice. I am in the UK on HSMP and awaiting my Tier 1 extension application. Hopefully it will be approved and I can stay another 3 years. My unmarried partner just left after his working holiday visa expired. We've not been living together for 2 years and are not ready...
Hi, Busy with my tier 1 extension application. I noticed my accountants made an 4 p error in their statement of my dividend earnings. Should I go back to them and get a new letter, should I just mention it on my cover letter, or do you think I can send it like this with no mention. One of my quarter...
Thanks Chetanojha! I read that one before but if that is the final word on it then I am very happy! I was just worried that I am reading into it what I want to read... [quote] I am also confused but trying to get in touch with HO,and they also said gross so i believe i m wrong,but better get advice ...
Hi All I've found some conflicted information on the forum with regards to whether the nett or gross dividend I received as contractor from my limited company counts to my earnings. I assume nett dividend as the company paid the tax and not me. (I am applying for Tier 1 extension after HSMP of 2 yea...
