Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:49 am Post subject: Joint Account of my wife with her mother
Dear Members,
My case for Tier 1 is gone for Administrative Review as the bank statements submitted by me were electronic duly stamped without bearing logo. I submitted proofs of Rs. 6,70,000 for main applicant. In the other account maintained at HSBC (India) I submitted a joint statement of Time deposit a/c no. 052 and current account 006. The time deposit had a fixed amount of 3 lacs which ECO overlooked and just saw only 006 and commented on that. Any way I hope to get it through.
Now I want the senior members to suggest that my wife has FDR in the joint name of her as well as her mother. Can that be considered for maintenance funds?
Also Do i need to send the FDR or a letter from the bank manager stating that she has adequate funds for the last one year or so ?
Also If I get a letter from the bank that my wife has been sanctioned a loan amount of say Rs. 5 lacs which she can use at any time, will it work
Thanks,
TVOMP2

On 14th, I got SMS that process visa has been courired thru Blue dart.

On 15th, I got it with all the docs I had submitted.

I got my documents today by recorded delivery (forgot to include Special Delivery envelope). Time lines are as follows :

Application type : In country (Within UK)
Points claimed : 105 (85 + 20)
Application sent : Oct 2nd (by next day delivery to Durham)
Payment deducted : Oct 5th
Reference letter : received after 3 days

Again many thanks for all the help and support that is made available on this forum.

Hi Nona,

Can you send the link for the post u have posted in the forum for the document format/text that you had used in application or send the stuff to my mail nandagopal96@gmail.com

Thanks,
Nanda

Many thanks to the forum and to all who has provided me with valuabe advise
My initial appln was sent back to me due to old photograph. My money got refunded in about 8 days. I reapplied on 10 Sep for me and my family while in UK. I received today all the doc and passport stamped.
Though I could see the visa is stamped dated 1st Oct but I received it only today(29th Oct) which is bit surprising. Again I enclosed a special delivery envelope but the post came thru the ones generally sent by HO and not the special delivery envelope.

Application type : In country (Within UK)
Points claimed : 35( master degree)+35(previous earning)+5(uk exp)=75
( HO awarded me with 40 points modifying my claim of 35 in earning)
Application sent : 10Sep (by next day delivery to Durham)
Payment deducted : 11 sep
Reference letter : received after 2 days
Visa stamped : Oct 1st
Documents received : 29th Oct ( by recorded delivery from Sheffield)
Total turnaround time : 6 weeks

Thanks to all again!!!

I want to apply for the UK Tier 1 (Highly skilled workers) permit;
but I am having confusion on one point under education qualification, I have done engineering in Electronics& Telecommunication from pandit Ravi Shankar shukla university Raipur Chhattisgarh. I want to know if it comes under professional qualification or not.

Hi,

I got my T1 through WHITE ROSE VISAS based at Sheffield. Quick and great job! Everything was done in a span of just 3 days! I met them on tuesday and on thursday, passports were in hand with the T1 visas.

I would recommend them highly.
