The reason for rejection was salary. The company was paying me £20,000, which I believe was quite acceptable for Scotland for a graduate job.

Could somebody please suggest if there is any risk associated with my application?

Yes I was working for them from India. The company was quite keen to have me on board as they were very happy with my work. They informed about the third rejection in the end of April and even though I stopped working for them, they gave me a grace period of one month for me to look for an alternati...

I am applying for my Tier 1 from India in Jan 2010. I have been working in UK before on Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme. However my visa was expiring in Feb 2008. My employer applied for work permits twice and it was rejected. So I left UK before my visa expiry. However, I discussed my work...

So did you submit your IT returns along with the application?

Kindly advise on what needs to be done. Thanks!

Yes that's what I also thought. And don't know whether it would cause unnecessary confusion with the caseworker.

Still can't decide whether to put these documents or not.

Hi dan_thakker,

Could you please post a copy of the covering letters, seperators, checklist of documents that you mentioned in your post?

It would be of great help to me as I am planning to apply for Tier 1 visa from India in Jan 2010. Thanks!

Congrats aksh_uk. I saw your post regarding the IT returns that I had asked: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=48265 Could you please say if you had provided these documents as well? Also what other extra documents did you supply along with the documentation other than the mandatory o...

Thanks chetanojha! I uunderstand that it's not a part of the mandatory document set but what I have heard is that when you are applying from India, they generally ask for a set of optional documents. This is not quite mandatory but nice to have and don't know the extent of influence these would have...

Congrats, did you submit any additional documents along with the application such as '3 Year IT returns'?

Could you please give me a combination of the documents that you suubmitted?

I called VFS today morning to cross-check the list of documents needed. I told them that I'll be submitting my payslips and bank statements for previous earnings. They also told me that an applicant needs to submit three years IT returns. The customer service consultant said that even though it's no...

I posted this in the wrong forum, will be posting in the forum for 'Tier 1'. I tried to delete this post from the forum but don't know how to do it.

Apologise for the mistake and admin, may I resquest you to delete this post?

Thanks. The reason why I had this doubt is because I am showing the same set of bank statements for maintenance funds and previous earnings. The caseworker might get curious about the sudden appearance of the funds.

As for maintenance funds, I have been maintaining the maintenance funds £2800 since 01-SEPT-2009. I will be applying for my Tier1 from India in the first week of 2010 and will show the period from 01-OCT-09 to 01-JAN-2010. My worry is that I deposited the required money on 01-SEPT-09 and was wonder...

I am planning to apply for Tier 1 from India in the first week of Jan 2010. The previous earnings period is from 01-Jan-2009 to 31-Dec-2009. However, I received a 15% salary increment in June 2009 and the revisions in my salary are reflected in the payslips and also bank statements thereafter. Do I ...

Hi all, I am planning to apply for UK Tier1 General visa from VFS Bangalore and was wondering if you could help me provide information regarding the complete set of documents that need to be provided If you could point to any previous links that has discussed about this topic, it would be great. Tha...

Congrats mps.

Even I am interested in applying from India, so could you please share your tips on the process? Thanks

Thanks. Could any of the gurus throw some light on this issue?

Thanks paulp. Are you sure about the 28 day "grace" period? I spoke to a customer service advisor and he told me that there is no such grace period. I can live with the work permit application rejection to an extent. But if the supposedly 'overstay' adversely affects any of my future appli...

Thanks for your quick reply. I am not intending to appeal if my application is rejected.

I'll be leaving the country. But my worry is that will I considered as a 'overstayer' when I leave? Will this have an effect on future applications?

My company applied for my work permit and it got rejected. They are going to apply for my work permit again tomorrow[29-Jan-2008]. But my visa is going to be expired on 08-Feb-2008. As far as I understand, I can apply for an extension saying that my work permit is being processed. Let's say my work ...

Recently my company applied for my work permit and it was rejected. My company is willing to lodge another work permit application for me but, my problem is that my current visa expires on 06-Feb-2008. I am not sure if my company will be able to lodge the application by then. Let's say they will lod...

Hi, Following is a qoute from the HSMP guidance regarding the documents to be supplied for gaining points for UK experience. In all cases you will also need to provide the original letter of permission from the Home Office conferring your leave to enter/remain in the UK as a student. [/b] I am claim...

Thanks very much for your reply LondonBlonde. The HSMP Guidance never says anything about the nature of the job. Is there any detailed caseworker's manual available regarding the current HSMP application process stating what is acceptable and what is not? I feel a lot of people are confused about th...

I am currently in the UK on Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme. I have finally secured a job as a Software Developer. My visa expires on the 8th of Feb 2008. I would like to switch into HSMP at the end of the visa expiry date. Before I tell you my problem, I'll give you a brief idea about wher...
