If i decare it and even though it is not a conviction.....will this declaration create issues with my visa extension ?? As long as you were not convicted and you don't have a criminal offence, it should not be a problem, but not decalring it to me may seem that you are hiding something and the case...

Well, I could not really say if you will be affected and also depends on case worker. Have you ever applied for a CRB after the incident? I will advice you to apply for one and see what it contains. If your CRB is clean, then you have good chances and try to consult citizen ad B or solicitors for p...

That is a serious offence, whether its a caution or not, you have to declare it while applying. If you fail to do so and it shows up in your record, you will be declined. Explain the incident under the notes that it was not intentional but a mistake..... but failing to declare it might be the worst ...

I think you guys are reading way too much into this. They are currently formulating exact rules for new applicants from April onwards. Only once they know what the rules are for new applicants do I think they can decide what to do with existing visa holders. By muscling someone from UKBA who has no...

No you don't need to show it for full 12 months, as long as the 6 months meets up the earning requirement, you will be fine. But please explain this in your covering letter, it may help the case worker. Goodluck

Are they really allowed to do this under legal rules, I see people winning the court cases against them. I have the feeling they will not extend the cap to extension and also increase the past income threshold for extension. they cannot afford the legal implications

Hi If an initial Tier 1 is granted lets say after the 19th July 2010 but before April 2011, will the extension which can be made 2 years later be exempt from any cap? My understanding is that there is currently no quotas on extensions during the interim limit. So am i correct in assuming that as lo...

I really cannot see how this is going to work- capping extension or increasing threshold for past income. Expect a lot of court cases.

My question is this-- how is all these going to affect Tier1 general extention. The only thing I have picked up so far is the fact that Tiet extension still remains 75 points, but will they increase the previous income threshold?
