Again does this mean my first ever entry (around 7 years ago) or my first entry after Tier-1 around 1 year ago?

If you have answered No to D5, then you should jump to D11 and need not answer D10?

Dear forum members, I had been to the Belfast PEO today(12th June) for my Tier 1 General extension application and had a very good experience. My appointment was at 11 AM, single applicant. Arrived @ 10:30 and was let in after security checks. Mobile, keys, stapler were taken off and kept in a numbe...

Thanks Manoj, that sounds right. Given that the J5/J6 for NI addresses also has a country column, I guess it is a typo. May be it was meant to be County.

Dear forum members, I have a confusion regarding questions J1/J2 of the Tier 1 General dependant extension application form (ver 04/12). The heading J says - any previous addresses lived within last 5 years, while J1 says - have you lived at any other address in the UK within the past 5 years? Confu...

The form just asks for addresses if one has lived in NI. Nothing else is expected/required

my initial successful application had bank print outs stamped and signed, without bank logo.

How to show that? What document do i need to submit that? If you are applying for Tier 1 dependent extension application, then many applicants have submitted an official document (utility bills, council tax, electoral, bank statements or NHS registration card)carrying the dependents name which has ...

On the other hand, one of my friend got his extension from the date the previous leave expired. So, depends on the caseworker

If yes then you have to book PEO for all of them.

Where is this condition mentioned?

In short, even with the best of intentions, the forum members will provide their understanding of the question and your situation. With so many questions on your application, are you willing to trust what is said on the forum or rather take professional help to ensure that right answers are provided...

UKBA knows what they are doing by setting those fees the way it is-- USECASE (IT language) ... They want applicants with say 2 or more dependant to benefit from a reduced fees other wise they are forced to pay even more£££. Reduced fees by applying separately? Most of the applicants apply for depen...

Shouldn't this be £533 for each dependent?

GP registration should not matter at all for extension. As for your registration, ask the receptionist at the GP about who have given these guidelines and which agency can you speak to regarding the same. I was in a similar situation, called up the relevant agency, spoke to a person from the medical...

In that case, consider I am applying for Tier 1 extension by post and my wife applying for dependant by post the next day separately. How do you plan to show evidence for maintenance funds for the 2 separate applications? ie if the bank statements have been sent with the main application? Are there...

You will get 40 points for the salary band you have entered. The points tally is different when you earn in UK and when you earn outside. Sorry? Where did you get this information from? ragiroti I am not so sure if you can apply for extension so much earlier. Have seen anything to this effect on UK...

Nope, not compulsory for Tier 1 General dependants

Your best bet is to send additional letter with the reference number received, mentioning the revised calculations and any additional documents supporting the same. The earlier you do it, better the chances that the documents reach the caseworker before a decision is taken. Note that the UK allowanc...

If you were in the UK, you cannot apply the uplift ratio for any Indian earnings. If the Indian earnings converted to GBP based on exchange rate + your UK earnings give you enough points, you are good to go

both 1 & 2 sohuld be Ok if you get sufficient points. For 1, you need not earn in all of the 12 months as long as they are consecutive

removed post;my reply was not correct based on tvn's reply below

if you are in UK during the earnings period, you CANNOT apply the uplift ratio. Did you use UK as the country in the calculator?

you definitely cannot apply uplift ratio for your Indian earnings since you were physically in the UK. You can only use the exchange rate for a simple INR to GBP conversion. There are umpteen cases on the forum where such use of uplift ratio resulted in rejection.

My two pence. I understand it is a difficult situation to be in, with frequently changing immigration laws. But why is there an expectation that the UK immigration laws should take care of the immigrants problems arising out of the changing laws? Immigration has been allowed only to benefit UK, basi...
