These should be left blank if you dont remember the ref.no which was assigned to you when you initially applied for tier 1 gen. these are not mandatory

Hi, I am a contractor in UK. I applied for visa on 5th March and my visa expires on 1 april 2012. I have not recieved any info from home office since then. Now, my contracting company says that i cannot work after 1 april if i dont have visa or a letter mentioning that i have applied for VISA. Can ...

This is the standard of service for which we pay hundreds of pounds

This is not an issue to be stated in the deception part. It was just a misunderstanding which was clarified by yourself so not to worry.

No participating post office is located in Northern Ireland, and it is next to impossible to fly to mainland without passport/driving license. http://www.postoffice.co.uk/counter-services/passport-identity/biometric-enrolment-foreign-nationals/branches Anybody travelled out of NI to scotland/englan...

Your case is of a unique nature and has the potential of success. You must engage an immigration lawyer.

Yes. Submitting invoices in your case is must. See Policy Guidance Section 114 sub section (X)

If you have paid tax on all of your self employed income, it would also add weight to your appeal.

I would be asking my employer to write a letter confirming the authenticity of the payslips.

Hi Friends, I would like to earn little more earnings to qualify total earnings for tier 1 general extension. Is it must to have a business account for self employment (sole trader) or is it OK to use a personal savings bank account dedicated for self employment(sloe trader) income? Its not a must....

based on the information provided by other members on this forum, it seems like UKBA are currently taking between 8 to 12 weeks for a straight forward postal application where biometrics are provided soon. In my opinion, you may apply in the first week of april to avoid new fees. You may pay the fee...

Yes I can understand that but why cant they check this by using the information they already have once the biometrics are taken?

Is this just your assumption or is their any documenting proof about it. Sorry for being ignorant, but I haven't came accross any news of PEO appointments closing down in future. Its very likely that they stop biometrics registerations in PEOs for postal applicants as they are making the biometrics...

Yes you can apply early but please do a little bit of research on the forum before starting a new thread. see the link below

on the question regarding maintenance funds, your calculation sees fine as per the rules at present. all the best

It may take that length of time and you may possibly be asked to send your original passports to confirm your ILR status. You dont need to send any documents yourself unless they specifically ask you in writing

You are not required to submit any documents/ passport copies with the claim form. If they require anything, they will ask you. In your case, they will ask for the original passport to see the ILR anyways.

Ideally this should be their approach to have the interview first and then ask the applicant to pay the fee after. Unfortunately there is no consistency in their practices.

You need to do it everytime. This is disgusting. the whole system stinks. I see no bloody reason behind registering your biometrics every time you apply for an extension. All they could do is just change the leave period or leave category where there is no major change to the facial features etc. B...

Not a pr oblem. happy to help if I can

Not working for a month does not matter. about the payslip, try to get the copy stamped and signed by the previous employer and also explain in your covering letter.

Yes you can. see the link below

If you were given 2 years in your initial grant, then you would normally get it extended for 3 years.

can i combine self + salaried employment earnings together for total earnings for tier 1 extension.

Thanks

Yes. You can add all your earnings together to claim the points but you will also have to put your employed and self employed income separately in the application form.

Cant really understand what your question is? Have you previously applied for ILR and now making a new application?
