Hi all, I am currently working in UK under Tier 1, and will have to apply for an extension soon. When I joined my company, I was awarded a sign on bonus which appears on my payslip as "Sign On Bonus". This is different from regular bonus which appears as "Bonus". Does this count...

Thanks Manojk005 for reply. Could you or someone else please suggest if I can attach my PBS summary print also with AR? I know they don't accept any other evidence while AR, but its just to show that my University listed on PBS under Uttar Pradesh and my claim for getting 35 points for education is...

Congrats to you guys and good luck

Will i be able to apply dependent visa say in May 2011? Any help..

Thanks

For your dependants? Yes you should be able to do so unless the Govt amends the relevant rules.

Hi Push, I am surprised that even though she is in the UK and working for the past 3 years on a work permit, she now has to go back to our home country and apply for a tier1 (general). That means she has to take an extended leave from work, given the application times. Would this also be the case (...

Hi, I have a Tier 1 (general) that I will be extending in 2 months. I got married a year ago and my wife is on a work permit. She does not satisfy the tier 1 points and my question is, can I apply for her as my spouse. I think this will fall under tier 1 dependant, even though she is independent. I...

In addition to the "photocopy" goofup by the ECO In the notice of decision he/she has mentioned that my wife had applied for visa until 05/08/2012 while she had actually applied till 5th september 2012 i.e. 05/09/2012 i.e. till the validity of my Tier 1 visa. Simply proves how careless th...

If I go by this ECB09 rule which states: "Where an applicant may not intend or be able to travel to the UK immediately following their application: the ECO has discretion to defer the 'effective' date until the date of travel, or up to 3 months from the date of issue, whichever is shorter.&quo...

You seem to have unwittingly helped your clients in money laundering. I am assuming that their unwillingness to pay you by cheque resulted from their inability to account for the cash component of the payment. I also assume that you invoiced them for only the cheque amounts and not for the cash part...

And yes, agencies like UKBA and Inland revenue can access records available with Banks etc if they need to.

The service (in-person applications) is available but you may not be informed of the decision on the same day because of self-employed income being included. It is likely that a decision be deferred until such time that UKBA completes verification checks regarding your self-employed income. regards...

Does anyone know that if UKBA or the Home Office have the access to your very personal details e.g. they can go in to your bank accounts and check who payed the money and where did it come from etc to confirm the amount on your bank statements? If yes, do you think that they do it for all the cases...

Delay in processing time.

So you reckon they are not following the standard procedures? UKBA...
