Congrats!!!!

2 Years????? That's quite a long time and don't know how you managed all the stress and tension waiting for the outcome for your visa application. All is well that ends well

I have my Tier 1 starting from April. My doubt is can I enter UK for two weeks and then come back to my home country for one month as I have to settle out my flat and employment contract. Is it OK if we leave UK after two weeks and enter again after one month? Will there be any problems at the time ...

I just saw the new Tier 1 rules and have a small doubt regarding the extensiion. I applied for my Tier 1 from India around 10 Jan 2010. However I had specified my travel date as 10 Apr 2010. I got the visa starting from 10 April 2010 for three years. S for extension, will the new rules or old rules ...

Thanks chetanojha. Do they do a blood test as well? Also, is it only in Heathrow where they have these medical examinations or is it present at all the airports in UK?

Got my Tier 1 and planning to travel next month. Just wanted to check something regarding the medical examination at Heathrow. I have high blood pressure and am taking medication for the same. Is this going to be a problem in my examination?

Wow, that was certainly something you got into Prashatt. Anyway, congrats and all the best!!!

Thanks. I had mentioned my travel date in the application form as 15th April and hence the start date of my visa is 15th April 2010.

I believe generally you can ask the start date of your visa for a maximum of 3 months from the date of your application.

Hi All, I applied for Tier 1 from VFS Bangalore on 15th January 2010. Finally got the passport stamped with 3 years visa on 11th February 2010. Thanks a lot to tvn_ramesh and others who has helped me in answering my queries and guiding me with the application. My visa starts from 15th April 2010 and...

My bank statements are 200% ORIGINAL. I got my Citibank bank statements from the branch and if I see Tier 1 guidelines I can say it contains everything except for statement date or issuing date of the statement. However, it contains a statement period and all the transactions covering the three mont...

Lodged my application today. Tried to get the letter from bank but they said they can't give such a letter as it doesn't comply with their formats advised by the legal team. Could anybody who has previously applied and have been successful please share some information on the format provided by Citi...

Thanks for the letter Ramesh. I'll try to get this done tomorrow

Thanks Ramesh. This is what is stated in the bank letter: On the basis of information as available with the Bank, as of January 13th, 2009 the account holders withdrawal balance is Rs.400000.00/- and the minimum balance maintained for the period 01 Oct 2009 to till date is Rs. 340000.00/- Hope this ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I am a single applicant and need to maintain £2800 as I am applying from outside the UK. I have enough funds to cover this period but I am worried if the case worker may reject this(from an argumentative point) saying that the balance has gone below £4000 on 02-Nov-2009...

I am planning to lodge my application tomorrow and I happened to see something regarding my maintenance fund in my CitiBank Account I'll describe the situation as follows: Let's say that I have got a letter and statements from the bank for the period 01-OCT-2009 to 12-Jan-2010. Say the minimum balan...

Thanks.

I am also providing my bank statements which are duly signed and stamped with this letter for the maintenace funds.

Also, what about the exchange rates? Is that OK?

Today I got the letter from Citibank for my maintenance funds. Given below is the format: January 11, 2010 Dear Sir/Madam, This is to state that XXXXXX holds a Citi Suvidha savings account with us savings A/c no: XXXXXX since XXXXXXX On the basis of information as available with the Bank, as of Janu...

My payslip doesn't contain any paydates, only months for which the salary is paid. ie March 2009 etc. Is it ncessary to have a paydate in the payslip?

However my bank statements clearly mention that the salary is credited for the month of MAR 09.

I contacted my previous company for clarifications and it seems that they have given an applicaion for administrative review for my third rejection letter(dated around the end of April 2008). The response from Home Office is dated on 09-JUN-2008. FYI, I have a copy of all the official Home Office le...

Do I have to mention my work permit rejection when applying for Tier1 visa? These are work permit rejections and not any Further Leave To Remain visa rejections. As this was in 2008, it was the old system where you lodge the work permit application and once it is approved, you apply for the visa. Th...

Could some experts throw some light into my case? Looking back, I could have stayed back and made an in country application. But unfortunately, I left UK before the end of the visa period as I was quite nervous to stay back and whether this would put me as an overstayer. Excuse me. Calm down. Peopl...
