if it's 3 months short only, then you may try postal application, these days it takes 5-6 months and visa is mostly granted from date of application(not guaranteed). so in all you may get covered because in delay in processing.

Thanks for your reply, hope you could clarify another thing I found now, B14 : If you have lived at the address above for less than five years please provide your previous details and the dates you lived there. Their is only one address box and no instruction to print additional pages, I lived at ar...

I need some advice from fellow members as how did you answered following question on latest Tier 1 (general) form. C6. Do you have any passport or travel document which contains a previous grant of leave or which you used when you last travelled to the UK? Is this question asking about previous pass...

You can refer above guideline mentioned in my notes, it should be enough, it's common practice and most of the case worker are aware of the rules.

This is guidelines when to apply and this is the topic where people have discussed their scenario. No one can guarantee what visa date will be given its all depend on case worker. If you apply with in a month than you can argue with caseworker to give visa from date of expiry or can complain if he/ ...

Thanks for your kind response.

I am applying for Tier 1 extension next week at Peo. My last month Natwest bank statement got lost in post and not enough time to reorder it now. I have got a printout from local branch with stamp and sign. These branch statement is printed on plain A4 paper (no special stationary) although with bla...

As per current rules their is no restriction on number of extension as long as you meet the requirements

I think as per this you do not need to show fund for both as you are not applying at same time. which essentially means that, as per law, the principal migrant needs to show maintenance funds for himself / herself only when he is a named applicant. Conversely, if the dependant is applying for leave ...

Look at Note 8 this is good guidance related to cohabition proof.

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...
