The consultation principle seems flawed. It doesn't consider the tax + NI contributions of the migrants at all. Especially for Tier 1 General Highly skilled category, most the migrants would be paying more tax + NI than UK average. Also the fact the visa extension charges (for Tier 1) are already ve...
For the Tier 1 Investor, Tier 1 Entrepreneur, Tier 1 Exceptional Talent and Highly Skilled Migrant (applying under Appendix S of the rules) categories there is no requirement to give a reason for absences if they do not exceed 180 days in any of the five, four, three or two consecutive 12 month per...
The change was made since deciding on long absences was left to the discretion of senior case workers. This resulted in disparity in decisions. Hence the allowance was made quite generous keeping in mind the nature of some jobs(eg. employees in the oil exploration industry, software consultants) but...
The UKBA documentation is quite clear that you cannot make an in-country application for an initial leave to remain as a PBS dependant. Not sure what the confusion is on that. That is the simple reason for rejecting your application
Current vignette: Dependent Tier1 General (spouse+2kids) 2. Date of expiry of current leave: 17 Jun 2012 3. Date application posted: 15-Jun-2012 4. Date application received at UKBA: 18-Jun-2012 5.

Just to be clear, can you mention what earning period you plan to claim for and what date of the month(if monthly) is your salary deposited in your bank account? If you are planning to count the salary deposited on 30th Sep 2011(which is for the month of Sep 2011), the earnings period will start fro...
.. so am looking to use letter from employer/Bank statements combo in lieu of the payslips/bank statement, since the payslips alone wouldnt be enough to include proof of the £1 bonus. Just wondering, does that mean that the £1 would appear in a bank statement which is outside the 12 months consecut...
Do you have sufficient funds(to show for maintenance) in your HSBC account from 16th May(or earlier). If yes, then you can show a combination of statements covering the 90-day period from 16th May to 16th August. If not, then you will have to comply with the following mentioned on UKB A site If you ...
If your salary is seen in the statements till 16thAug(that you have requested from the bank), why do you need statements till 21st Aug? For the 90-day period for maintenance funds, the statements can be within 31 days of your date of appilcation. The information here says The most recent bank statem...
I will still stick my neck out on this one and say that this is just another instance of several other successful applicants who have maintained funds only for dependants. And in your case, it was maintained in your wife's account , so less confusion than if it had been maintained in your(main appli...
5 yrs is only for dependants applying for Entry clearance after 9th July 2012 The information here states If you already have leave to enter or remain in the UK, on the basis of being the spouse or partner of a settled person, you will need to meet the rules which were in force before 9 July 2012 if...
Forms are Ok and you can use your credit card(as long it is not blocked in an anti-fraud check) No additional charges for using credit card Main applicant - What about 12 month bank statements? degree/transcript and address proof is not required Dependants - Only photos are reqd if maintenance is co...
Apptmt on the same day should not be a problem as long as you have all the required documentation. Result might be delayed due to whatever reasons(IT issues, verification, etc) so keep the dependants application ready and post it before 5 PM irrespective of your application result. If you get the re...
As long as the single set of statements have sufficient funds for the required period to cover all the applicants applying at the same time, you will be fine.
Did you call the UKBA helpline to confirm if the apptmt is really canceled and if yes, why it was canceled? For the apptmt close to the visa expiry, that should not be a problem as long as you have all the required documentation. Result might be delayed due to whatever reasons(IT issues, verificatio...
The confusion is reading in conjunction with Clause 47 of the guidance and the way main applicant + dependants applications can be made to satisfy the criteria with just £900/£600(for > 12 months) or £1800 (for < 12 months) with the same set of statements.
Having read the Immigration Rules here , Appendix E - clause l says (l) Where the application is one of a number of applications made at the same time as a partner or child of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant (as set out in paragraphs 319A and 319F) each applicant, including the Relevant Point...
LP, I do not agree. We should have continued here ; I have copied the following from one of my responses here with some modifications/additions Clause 46 of the guidance document says, If the same Tier 1 Migrant and his family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence tha...
However, paragraphs 43 and 46 do refer to applications made separately from the PBS migrant and those don't ask for the PBS migrant to provide proof of maintenance in addition to the applicant. The clause 47 says 'there must still be enough funds to support each member of the family ' which suggest...
