congratulations to all of you..

visa_novice,
was it an extension or did u apply for tier 1 general for the first time? thanks & congratulations.

i applied on the 26th and i'm still awaiting a response.. anyone else?

do the closing balances of the statements you've provided concur with the opening balances of the following ones to the penny?

At what point during the 3 months were you below 800? what are you implying when you say "transactions taken place"? how is that relevant?

congratulations! gives us some hope.. thanks for the update

will do.. just out of interest.. have you applied for an extension or are you applying for the first time? i'm switching from psw to tier 1 - general..

I applied on the 26th, received acknowledgement on the 30th.. i called HO today asking for an update they said it's "under consideration"..

I sent my docs on the 26th as well.. called today (8th May).. under consideration..

the case worker's manual says they should give you points according to the evidence even if you've claimed more than what the evidence states.. so i'm sure they'll consider atleast 11 months.. i don't think you need to send anything..

I doubt it'll be an issue.. out of curiosity do you get 75 points for 11 months of your salary + everything else? If so, it's not really worth worrying about..

it'll be good news inshAllah... do let us know.. g'luck

i called today and was told my application is "still being processed".. the guy didn't tell me if it's under consideration or under further consideration, which is the reply most people get judging by posts on this forum.. anyone else got approval (first time application)..?

Happy days got my visa approved today.. Applied on 23 march 2009 acknowledgement dated 25 march 2009 stamped from 28 apr 2009 thank you so much to all the users who shared their experience.. and wish everyone all my best wishes.. :D congratulations.. the home office website now says they're conside...

thanks gordon.. can anyone help with the first two questions?

1) register with recruitment agencies like hayes etc and get them to issue you a letter that you are currently seeking employment through them.

2) you can switch to student status easily

Another quick question, will I be able to extend my IGS under PSW (Tier 1) by another year?

Are my IGS years counting towards teh 5 years required to obtain ILR?

Hi, I completed my Bsc from Oxford Brookes University in July '07 and got my IGS in November '07. I am planning on applying for HSMP/Tier 1 after a while for which I will be eligible. I have only one student visa extension which was made from a college that is now closed due to ingenuity. I had to g...
