thanks for responses and law firm recommendations. I entered UK today and told them to admit me on tier one visa rather than a tourist stamp and they fingerprinted two fingers. the officer told me I need UK experience to re-apply since I never worked in the UK after 3 years of valid visa.. Maybe he...
Thank you for the reply. I need to claim UK experience points, else I wont be eligible. I also agree with claiming UK experience, want to double check. If anyone already applied for an extension with UK experience points here in UK who initially did not claim when made application first time in IND...

Then, why the statement "Initial applications only" ?
that only uk ba can answer. its certainly not the first misleading/confusing point made by them. the points calculator help window pop-up confirms that you can claim uk exp points during extn
you have to get yourself registered as self-employed with HMRC and pay taxes to claim points for the kind of overseas work you have described Thanks Sts, I read your other posts, your income in India is taxed in India, do you still need to pay tax in the UK?? It sounds ridiculous... My job outside ...
Thank you for the reply, But, if you see the guidance, it says, INITIAL APPLICATIONS ONLY... with this statement I am confused... Does anyone applied for extension claiming UK experience who had not claimed at the time of initial application ? what stops you from reading the guidance further: 124. ...
Entered UK twice as a tourist (US Citizen so I don't need separate visa). Has the Tier 1 visa vignette ever been over-stamped with date of entry? I'm not sure you were admitted as as visitor as that would have required the curtailment of your existing Tier1 (but wait for experts such as Vinny or Gr...
Hi sts, thanks for your response. so the only thing that is confusing still is this statement from the website below: If you are outside the UK, or in the UK under a different immigration category , you cannot apply to Tier 1 (General). If I enter or entered in the past as a tourist, that puts me i...
Thank you everyone for your replies. I wasn't sure that I can use two seperate account to meet the maintenance fund requirement. If I use two accounts then I do certainly statisfy the criteria. Plus thinking about it, I have a joint accout with my Father in India which I am sure has enough funds to...
there is nothing you can do except wait or cancel your application if you need your passport back for travel(can take upto 20 working days to reach you)
1.Yes - you will find similar examples in this forum
2.Not sure
3.No - during application you will be required to provide biometrics after which your police record will be checked
4.Yes - ok to apply right up to the last day of your visa expiry date
Tier 1 migrants do not need to be employed and have no meed to inform the UKBA if they change employers. The Change of circumstances form does even mention employment. which goes to show that the customer care guys often don't know what they are talking about. they had suggested to me once that you...
as per current rules - you can keep applying for T1 extensions any number of times.
your assumption is correct - if there is no good reason to apply significantly earlier than expiry date, you should apply close to expiry date to avoid unnecesary extensions
frankly, i wouldn't bother about any letter about overtime, just mention in cover letter. its okay if you choose to get a letter from employer. and its fine if your India employer cannot give you an earnings letter. its not needed. payslips and letter from employer are from same source so both are n...
overtime earnings can be included. mention in the cover letter that this was part of contractual obligation. no need of letter from employer about overtime but if it is simple to get then do so. don't forget to get employer to write that overtime pay is part of contractual obligation its okay to jus...
yes you can apply for T1 extension months before it expires. further leave to remain will be from your extn application decision date, not from when your T1 expires. so you may end up needing more T1 extensions to make the 5 year ILR requirement.
this is definitely something to worry about. search well in this forum, as far as I can remember I have seen similar thing before where the application was rejected. clean immigration history etc don't matter before the letter of the rule where uk ba is concerned. try to show maintenance fund from a...
have you tried contacting your local MP to request him/her to ask uk ba to speed up ?
how about visiting your country's embassy/consulate to discuss the possibility of getting a temp passport to fly back due to personal emergency back home ? I know people who lose their passport do this
That time i was in office, he drop a message "call to home office". Krishna what kind of message was left ? written/card or did he speak to someone in your home to leave a message ? on a lighter note - next time it happens hold the person hostage till home office roll back the fee hike and promise ...
Is it a must that the applicant must be physically present in the country of earning in order to gain points for overseas earning? don't confuse yourself with 'overseas earning', there is no separate section for overseas earning points. as mentioned by manka10, in J5 you need to disclose country of...
