I'm claiming points of my own earnings not the company earnings i.e. combination of salary and dividends and i'm producing following documents to prove my earnings 1. Personal Payslips ...
Guys, I'm sorting my earning documents provided to me by my accountant. All the documents he sent to me are normal print-outs like Management Accounts, Dividend Vouchers etc are they acceptable to Home Office? Especially the accountant letter confirming my earnings is simple 4 liner written on my ac...

I'm going to show two piece of evidence both for my self and my company earning that includes following: 1) Payslips 2) Dividend vouch...
Kelvin, Thanks for the reply, i understand what you've mentioned regarding Transitional Arrangements but again i'm not even thinking about TA because you need to look in to it if you can't score 75 points by yourself. Currently i'm scoring 100 points under Tier-1, the only problem i'm having is how ...
Hi Kelvin, Me either didn't get the point why Santosh is going for Transitional Arranegements while he can still score 75 points. But i'm still not sure about the classfication of past earnings. Like in my case, i'm doing contracting and i'm the single employee(director) of my limited company. I'm w...
If you read Guidance Notes/BIA website you'll find there are only two options you can apply under if you are doing your own business Salaried employees with dividend payments If you are paid through a combination of salary and dividends, the combination of documents outlined above will only be enoug...
Fees : 750£ Date of application Yes you can Visa granted from Date of Application? this is strange so if somebody applied 6 months in advance provided he was on 2 years EC and granted 3 years visa starting from date of application so after 3 years he'll be 6 months short of 5-years ILR requirement...
Hello everyone, My visa which is under hsmp is going to expire on 13 June but i'm planning to visit my family back in Pakistan in the end of May and most probably i'll be back before 10th June and then i'll apply for the extension under Tier-1 i.e. before 3-4 days before my visa expiry. Now my quest...

asamdani, The problem we are discussing here is only applied to those who got their HSMP approved prior DECEMBER, 06 , so if your case is after december,06 then there's no confusion at all, its clearly stated in the Tier-1 Guidance Notes that if your approval is after dec,06 you don't have to show a...
asamdani, i can understand your situation but my friend the caseworker guidance you've mentioned are old, secondly the email proof you are talking about once again its old (as you mentioned you got that reply at the the time of hsmp application). Here we are talking about extension under Tier-1 whic...
yes! my visa is going to expire on 13 June, i was planning to apply on 1st May as recommended in the Guidance Notes but that's just an ideal case. So i'll wait little bit more to see further development around this area if nothing happens then i'll give ielts and apply in the end of May which will s...
well I think its still risky as the bia customer service is totally a separate department and case workers belong to separate department so verbal verification is nothing. secondly I talked to bia again and this time I continously insisted on this point then she told told me let me confrm it with ca...
Guys I'm on hsmp which was approved prior december 2006, I'm gona file my extension next month. Could you help on following - do i need to show ielts for english proof or university letter will do - do i need to submit all the documents again - fee is £350 or £750 in my case Especially i really ne...
Hi guys, I'm doing contracting having my own one-man company, have taken almost 70% of my profit of last year income via director salary and quarterly dividends. HSMP guidance says there are two options available to apply under, which are quoted below. As per my case could you guys recommend which o...
Guys my case is almost similar to asamdani and i've contacted BIA twice and both of the times they said to me your university letter will work BUT as this is not what mentioned in guidance notes so i'm still confused. Does some one having further info on it, this is really frustrating. Details of my...
Guys, just for the peace of mind i rang BIA again and the result is same that no need for ielts if you've a letter from university. Once again i mentioned to him it's not specified in Guidance Documents, again he said it's really not required. The only weired thing he mentioned that you've to submit...
Guys, Good news i've just talked to BIA/Work Permit advisor and i double confirmed with him what he's saying you can get a letter from university to prove your english qualification no need to give ielts. Then i asked him this is not mentiond in Guidance Notes and he admits that it's not there but t...

I'm not saying that you are passing the wrong info but i seriously doubt what you've been informed by BIA advisor because if you read the Tier1 Guidance notes it states clearly that if your approval was before December,06 then you've to prove your english qualification. So they are specifically aski...
Guys, According to my research it's 99% confirmed that prior dec,06 hsmp approvals will need ielts or equivalent English language qualification but still before registering for ielts i need to get your opinion that are you all 100% confirmed that we need ielts to apply for extension? If it's really ...
if BIA is saying that then it could be true but remember you need to have 6.5 for that. Btw i was just exploring ESOL Skills for life which is quick,cheap,quick exam n result and no expiry as well. Something you can register today, give tomorrow, get result and file your extension. Here's the URL ht...
IELTS valid for two years so i don't think you can still use it, I'll recommend Cambridge ESOL which looks easy, cheap, quick exam dates and never expires but i'm still looking for other options... please do explore and post your experience here.
