Hi,

I am applying for my extension soon, just wanted to check if there is any evidence required for proving UK experience, beside the wage slips that I am providing for the salary points in any case?

Thanks

Per what I have read on the guidelines, it must be a easily accessible account, but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

Just another clarification, is the Saver account considered for maintenance of funds or does it have to be in a current account. Please note, the saver account is a super saver account and not a term / fixed deposit.

Thanks again.

I am currently on the first leg of the HSMP and would be applying for an extension/switch to Tier 1 (General) in a few month.

Would like to know more about the application process and experience of applying via the Public enquiry offices.

Cheers!!

I had initially sent an e-mail to "wpcustomers@ukba.gsi.gov.uk" and was later told to e-mail "UKBApublicenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk".

Reincarnation,

You would need to modify the letter if you apply together. Also make sure that you friend clearly states the number of bedrooms available in the house and can accommodate you without over-crowding.

You would need to show the loan agreement as well as the bank statement. You are fine showing the MF and pension documents. But as far as possible liquid cash is the best and safest form.

Hi Kiladik - GBP5,500 should be fine, even I took a personal loan, so I guess you are fine. I still feel a little more funds should be better. FD is also good enough. So reincarnation, you will be fine. How are you showing your accommodation? If you are staying with a friend or a relative that would...
