On HSMP Applying for Tier 1 Extension - A few Questions

Hi,

My HSMP visa expires in May 2010. So I am now preparing to apply for Tier1 extension. A few questions:

a. I will submit the follows docs - Please check if I am missing something:
1) Passport of Self and Dependents
2) 12 Months payslips
3) 12 Months Bank statment showing new salary deposits
4) Bank statment showing Maintenance Fund

I academic qualification remains the same so my under standing is that I donot need to send the degree Qualification again.

Please also explain what is the what is this Self Address Special Delivery Envolope all about

Also I have 3 dependents, So I would be paying:
Self: £900
Dependents: £150 (£50 per dependent)
Is 1050 the corrent amount?

Please be kind enough to answer my queries.

Regards

Faisal.

The fee is correct.
I remember sending the educational documents again when I renewed from HSMP to Tier 1 (it was a good few yrs back when Tier 1 was introduced after discontinuing HSMP). Just curious, can you not apply for PR (if you have completed 5 years).

very thanks for majic's post.

I have the same case like majic, now I hold 2 years HSMP visa in the UK, and will apply for Tier1 extension in April.

I have 3 dependents with me. As for dependent applications, besides all required docs, do I have to include english marriage certificate and birth certificates again?

As per the guidance notes, if you have provided these documents in your initial approval than you don;t need to submit it. just make sure to tick the appropriate box in the extension form. But I still advice you to submit the same as original document are returned to applicant after approval. No harm in resending them.

Hi

I also want to know what is mentioned here as PBS summary index?

Thanks

Hi there,

Just to let you know that maintenance funds for 3 months means the balance should never gone below for the period. Need to maintain the balance every single day for the 3 months

Please check each and every transaction to make sure you are safe.

Cheers
