And, I don't gain any £££s from this.

Though 1yr allowance is legal, I suggest you to get UK license asap. The similarity between Indian & UK driving ends with being "left-hand side drive". There are lots of rules which we wouldn't have followed (eg turning in a roundabout) but you need to be aware & practise them here. So better be saf...

Good comment. This should be put on noticeboard, so all new applicants can understand its impact. Welcome to the group of people who have rushed to get Visa and then took time to plan thing and hence delayed by months (My sympathy for people whe genuinely had issue moving immediately). What they don...

Just to re-affirm things at our end. Are you sure the visa extension is until Sep 2011? and NOT Sep 2012? 'am not questioning your maths but just that we tend to overlook when we are all excited. Hi All, I have been approved for 2 years instead of 3 years. Initially I was granted the Visa for 2 year...

Hi all, I went through few airlines website, but all allow only 20 kgs luggage. Please let me know if u know @ any airlines which allows u to take more baggage. Thanks in advance! Regards, Sjidh BA allows you to book excess baggage online & you would get 30% off their excess baggage charge. Cost de...

As Jedi rightly put, it all depends on the individual.

Can you help him out with the search Jedi, if possible?

I think he said Call not Car.

But aren't Lloyd's supposed to give you statements without missing any dates? Why did they miss 11th June, between 45 & 46 statement numbers? If there was no transaction, weren't they supposed to show the balance carried over from 10th? I guess it is easier for you to ask them to re-issue statement ...

But, Doesn't it supposed to say "Futher leave to remain", when I apply for extension?

I though LLR is given when you first enter UK?

Just enjoy.

Hi, My Visa states Limited Leave to Remain - I had applied for extention under Tier 1, after 2yrs as HSMP. So, shouldn't it say Further Leave to Remain?? Details: HSMP Entry clearance: Aug 07 Visa Expiry: Aug 09 Now visa extended until Aug 2012 but says Type of Permit Tier 1 General Migrant Remarks ...

I guess they are passing a bill to make it as 8yrs from July '11, instead of 5yrs. So, in anycase you will be applying for an extension isn't? i am worry if 5 years period starts from my arrival, then it means i have to apply again for another extension, after 3 years? or will qualify for ILR with 5...

I think it's T3, will confirm through someone if possible.

Finally,

Tier-1 Extension approved.

Total 18 days.
Approved until Aug 2012. (Initial expiry Aug 09).

What a relief at last...

Well he didn't literally stop me, just acted as if he is more worried than UK immigration authorities. I had used it 5 months back and it wasn't the one used by all. As you enter in to Immigration hall in Heathrow, it is at left-end. In the centre, you have the common counters & towards far-right yo...

Even though it is called a PG Diploma, you spend 2 years studying it.

So I think duration of the course is more an important factor than what they call it.

I guess you are referring to 15/house. Sadly, it's true. There are places where 13 to 15 ppl share a 3 bedroom house/ flat. One can imagine how crowded that would be. Even those costs 100+/week/person. My advise for you would be to stay in a public hostel like YMCA etc for few weeks / months and the...

How then will the right hon. Gentleman fund his garden expenses? Congrats. For an extension, I think its only the economic circumstance which can change, so why dont home office simpliify the process of just asking for a bank statement and salary slip and grant the visa?? :). They unnecessarily make...

It appears that HO haven't yet collected my application packet from the PO Box. It's been 22 days since I sent it. The Royal Mail spl delivery tracker says, "Your item with reference SCxxxxxxxxGB has reached its PO Box and is awaiting collection/delivery" I called up HO in the 0870 number and they s...

Yes there is. It is a forum similar to ours. Note: I'm in now way related to this site nor do I get any £££s from them. www.spammer.com/uk-immigration-trackers/tier-1-general-extension 1) Post your timeline first. 2) Then keep track of your application and see how ppl who have applied along with ...

Summon, Complaint, deffered-payments etc are different from Default, conviction, Criminal offense... Don't confuse them & lose your sleep over it. You don't have to declare anything nor should you be guilty over anything. Period. Hi Kapoor/nksg/chetan, To be more presise these guys send me a letter ...

I wouldn't carry £4k as cash. Can you not convert them as Traveller's cheques? it would be much less riskier to carry them isn't?

Thanks.

I think the problem is more with the Immigration officers in India (esp Mumbai) rather than UK, because over there they fail to understand the logic of "going to another country and searching for a job/ without a job"; I had to explain a great deal about HSMP & Immigration to them. Once you land in ...

Not 100% true, Not 100% wrong. Depends...on the case & the docs provided.
