@dbakumar9,

I am applying for a Visa for my kid who was born and is in India.

It will really help if you can post the list of documents that you had used.

Travel as you would do usually. Carry the same documents, nothing extra.

If immigration people ask, just say, you would be applying for extension soon.

As long as you have valid visa it should not be a problem to anyone

[quote="hsmp_1476"]ya, makes sense. Just wanted to know if anyone has done this [/quote]

I know someone who had done this and got his application rejected

This money could either be in your company accounts or in your personal accounts. All you have to do is provide proofs (company returns, dividend vouchers, accountant ...

by the looks of what you have said, if you can prove that you have paid tax for the income earned through photography, you should be able to claim points. [quote="suresh.k.dasari"]I have been working in a call centre and the pay is £12K. I get paid into my personal bank account. I also wo...

[quote="hsmp_1476"]I know its a stupid question, but thought of asking it anyways as it might save some time. I have the photographs taken close to 2 years back for HSMP visa. Now that I am due for an extension, can I use the same photos? As per the guideliens, I know that they cant be old...

I have applied for my extension in July 1st week.

There is a difference between of 3 days from the dates that appear on payslips to that on bank statements. Is this an issue for the case worker, have they ever rejected a case for the dates on paysli...

Application reached HO on 18/7/7.
Reference received : 23/7/7 (this was sent out from HO on 18/7/7)
