Thanks for sharing your views.

That's what I thought, worse case scenario can be they may not accept application for consideration but never seen any case here on this forums.

You can only prepare once rejection is received and letter has all the details if right to appeal is given your stay will be covered under Section 3C and generally 28 days are given to file an appeal.

You have to either find new sponser within 60 days or leave the country. Discretionary curtailment reasons under paragraph 323A

Thank you samira and hsmp1412 for your assurances. I think I had bad call with HO, The person suggested that I should not apply early at least not early than one year but he couldn't point to any relevant rule which prevents early extension for Tier 1. Just cautious and want to be prepared. I had fe...

Self employed can define their holiday period them self, it doesn't need to be 26-28 day.

First of all having conviction doesn't result in automatic refusal for tier 1 extension. Your case may be considered under good character requirement as two conviction in short duration. You have done right to notify as it is a requirement now to notify of any convictions.

Thanks for your reply. The good reason theme bothers me, To refuse an application they need something in immigration rules. It's arbitrary and no where defined. Lets say I have no good reason, paying full fee and happy to take extension from date of approval, and if caseworker refuses what reason th...

I need another(Second) extension because of delay in entry of more than 90 days and wish to apply for early extension(14 months early) through PEO. I understand that the visa is granted from date of approval if applied too early and this doesn't affect my case if visa is given for at least 2 year.I ...

I think we need clarification on text highlighted in red, what they consider right reasons. And they are NOT asking any proof for these reasons in Tier 1 case. In the following categories, absences must be for reasons connected with the applicant’s for being in the UK or for serious or compelling co...

I do not think paid or unpaid leave make any sense for Tier 1 applicant. Many of the them are self employed and probably few would get any payments for voluntary holidays or gaps in employment. It would be impossible for them to provide documentary evidence for every single leave. What I get from im...

As suggested by previous posters, if you have any bailiff action pending in you name it will be reflected in your credit report. Worth getting it checked if you have any doubts. If I contacted each council, provided them with the account number and corresponding address even if the bills weren't in ...

He asked entry clearance, if that's the exact words then it is visa start date. No rules have changed for 90 days, you are safe. Hi Skumar, Congratulations! When was your entry clearance ? - 4 years 11 months+ ? Did CW asked specifically 4years 11Months? I was delayed 47 days while entering Uk after...

May be some confusion with posting, it happen sometime with new people on board specially when people are very anxious. You should maybe respect the rules on the board, rather than making duplicate posts to get an answer. It's pretty annoying reading the same thing twice (which usually results in me...

Thanks cs95tdg, I too have noticed no change in 90 days rule in continuous residency guidance . What I am wondering is how suceptible it is to legal challenge because someone can have compassionate reason(like medical emergency/ natural disater) for delayed entry. The period between entry clearance ...

What could be reasons connected with the applicant’s purpose for being in UK, any ideas? In the following categories, absences must be for reasons connected with the applicant’s purpose for being in the UK or for serious or compelling compassionate reasons. Evidence, as specified above, must be prov...

I am also wondering impact of this on delayed entry of more than 90 days in first year. My question is 1) What happens if entry is delayed by more than 90 days but less than 180 days, can this be treated as absence for compelling reason? 2) if delayed entry is not treated as absence, then is it not ...

"out of court disposal that results in a criminal record " . It is important to check with CRB before you apply. It may affect your application if you apply after 1 January. The immigration rules are changing so that any "out of court disposal that results in a criminal record" i...

It is not necessary to travel on the date which you mentioned on your form. The visa is normally valid from the date of grant.

What do you mean by maintenance money as fee?

You can look at this for defination of overcrowding.

If you are thinking of applying by post for yourself and then applying for your wife after 2-3 weeks, then I would say it's risky proposition.

You can vary your Tier 1 application, which could save you additional fee for ILR. Getting your passport back may result in you application being withdrawn.

You submit your details when your circumstances changes, there is no mandatory timescale prescribed by ukba for informing marital status change.

Even for unforeseen circumstances, you have ample time to send it by post.

This is really weird, certainly if it was an issue from ukba their must be more cases and they may be aware of the issue, you immediately write to caseworker stating this situation, he may accept your current application back which will not result in you being over stayer.
