When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based. I think it's quite clear, is it not? It may be clear to you but not to me. Mine was working holiday maker and henc...

Just spoke to my bank and they said that £3000 single transaction would be fine.

Can somebody confirm under what name do they make a transaction so I can inform that to my bank?

Is it something like home offier / UKBA ?

Or is it third party which deducts the amounts?

Thanks.

It is definitely a conviction and will adversely affect both application types. I think that this would fall in the grey area of caseworker's discretion - if everything else is in order, it should not automatically be prohibitive. The central passage relating to this question is: "Caseworkers shoul...
