PBS Calculator has been updated right on time: 12.01am BST. Forms yet to be released on the UKVisas website (for outside of country applications). Any news on the new forms? Are they going to release seperate guidance notes for applicants outside UK? No, no news on any forms yet other than those di...

I got another question here. I wanted to make sure I was right in my calculation. In the past 15 months, first 8 months I worked in USA and the next 2 months I went back to India during which salary got credited in INR. I came to USA and here for 5 months. So while calculating the previous earnings...

Hi can anyone find guidlines for new rules ? They have been listed on this forum in about 20 different threads, as well as on the official UKBA website, as well as the official UKVisas website. Please search all these locations, and you will find your answers. Even the new PBS Calculator has the gu...

The new PBS calculator does calculation on 5.3.

The statement of policy released by the HO back in 18th March explicitly said that the multipliers will not change on April 6th, but will be reviewed and updated in future.

Hi Guru's, I am also awaiting eagerly to see the updated forms on the Outside UK site. In the meantime I have a question and would be happy to get some suggestions from you. I am not intended to travel to UK immediately and I read in the below link that " You can ask for it to be post-dated fo...

For those interested, the PBS calculator is now updated to the new rules. As I suspected, it was an automated cutover process. Hurrah! Forms have yet to be updated, bu...

For a person applying from outside the UK for the initial tier 1 visa, the Visa services website does not have the new form. Heck, even the points based calculator is not updated. This is nuts! How am I to apply? It's not April 6th in UK (going by BST). The statement of policy they released announc...

Hi, My Tier 1 general visa is valid from 1st April 2010.But due to buisness requirement I need to travel to US for 3 months and not able to travel UK immediately.Does this makes my visa void? It may be a repeated question but I am forced to post this question as I caught many people saying that it ...

I find it ironic that they chose to release this information on April fools day. They didn't. It was part of the fee announcement a few weeks ago. That's what makes it ironic. I know it was real, as I read about it a while back. But to make the official announcement on April 1st surely would confus...

For Tier 1 - Initial application from India, what will be the new fee after April 6? I thought I saw someone mention 675 pounds. But the new form seems to indicate 840 pounds. Which is it? Its neither. Its 690 pounds if you are applying outside of UK. If applying within the UK its 840 pounds, and f...

What you guys think??? I think that if you were a Premier League footballer earning £100,000 per week, you might just pay the £15,000 to save yourself the bother of taking off a half day and going to the PEO. I suspect that there will be very few takers of this super premium service. I also think...

Hi there, I'm curious regarding currency conversions and previous earnings. The rules for Tier 1 specify that you will calculate your previous earnings using on the spot currency conversions via the OANDA site and multiply the result by the appropriate uplift ratio for your country.

Unless you have some version of the internet that the rest of us don't, I can't see it being updated. Can you please provide a link?

Not an issue... if the balance is intact at the end of the day.... lets seniors also reply I would have thought it would be an issue, because its fairly clear on the guidance notes (for Tier 1 General), that the amount should not drop below 2800 pounds for 90 days. Otherwise, if they allowed it, th...
