payment failure-please help

[praveen_kalme]

Hi,

I have made my application for HSMP extension for renewal on 25 Jan 2010, My application was returned back to me on 13th Feb,

The comment made in the HSMP letter was," An invalid letter was used in your payment transaction so the process was not completed".

I have checked the copy of my application and all the numbers i have written on the applications were correct

My visa got expired on 1st feb 2010, I have resent my application on the 16th Feb with a cover letter, money got deducted this time, i have not changed any documentation when resending my application, but bit worried now that i should have enclosed my latest bank statement showing maintenance funds.

Please advice if i can send my latest bank statement now by writing a covering letter. Pleas share your experiences

if you have Reference Letter n reference no.. i think you should do that not to face other rejection..

UKBA will not show mercy becos ur application is NEW you shd satisify all the requirements and same will be for the Maintenance funds lastest bankstatement should be falling within 1month on the day you apply.. so better be safe than sorry..

Hi,

Just to update my status, I got my Tier 1, 3 year visa extension today

26 January 2010: First application made
01 February 2010: Visa Expired
13 February 2010: Application returned back saying invalid application for unsuccessfull payment
16 February 2010: Re sent the same applciation form with entering payment details again
18 February 2010: Payment successfull
26 February 2010: Realised, I did not sent the last 1 month maintenance funds proof (bank statement)
01 March 2010: Contacted the home office and this forum
02 March 2010:Posted the Bank statements with a covering letter
02 March 2010 to 22 March 2010.: Sleep less nights, days with worries, stress and tense

Lesson learnt: Post the application as early as you can, double check and triple check the whole application to make sure the application is made as per the UKBA requirements.
