1. Though the time gap between wedding and date of application is not considerable but, given that there's been a refusal in the past, it will be in your interest to provide evidence(s) of subsisting relationship . 2. Provide original marriage certificate and along with a certified translated copy....

Hi, thanks again for reply. I got married on 4th February and my wife applied on 6th April
Thanks.

Your wife may apply again whenever she wishes to. Hi sushdmehta, cheers for replying. I would appreciaate if you can advise on few things. since the officer mentioned all these things as he doubted about marriage in the first place. (1) how to prove I was there in back home during the marriage cere...

Hi friends, My wifes Tier-1 (general) dependent visa is refused. reason given was not submitting main copy of marriage certificate in local language. Only certified original English copy was submitted. After that, they gave some silly reason saying My bank account has more money compare to my pay sl...

A very big congratsssssss!!! Good luck with your new status and no more worries about visa and Home office...

Unbelievable!!! hats off for you patience!!! Good luck with your new life in uk..

Bottom line is no matter how many times you hear, or read "Honesty is the best policy" in reality it isn't always. Honesty in an dishonest systems is just digging your own grave. Uk immigration policy is a dishonest piece of crap. if you tell the immigration office, you are coming to visit...

Hi there, We the recent change to the Tier 1 visa I don't know what my options are. I am a Canadian on a tier 5 working holiday visa and had all the necassary requirments for applying for the Tier 1 visa, which I planned to do when my current visa ran out. Could anyone please give me some advice or...

Hi Everybody, What happens in the matter of civil judgments for cases of fraud? I found out last week I have a 7 year old civil judgment that accuses me of unemployment benefits fraud (not in that language, but good as), for a significant sum of money. However this judgment and the papers I was sen...

Do you mean that UK will try to attract workers but without giving them permanent status even after they lived here for many years? How long will it take to implement it? Will there be transitional arrangements? HSMP is history now but workers still can apply for ILR at the moment after living for ...

Sorry for making confusion. But I try to understand the age qualification criteria. If it's based on first time HSMP application then we all get the same point when we entered the UK. But if it's based on when you extended your visa in that case you won't get the original point (you get older). Is ...

Hi nionlight, Concerning the age I'll explain why have got confusion. I was 27 when got HSMP it made 20 point When I extended TIER1 on Feb 2010 as an applicant who is already in the UK under Tier 1 (General), I claim points as follows: Under 31 years of age: 20 points; I was 29 On SET 0 document, S...

Guys, I have a questions. I went through documents but still it was not clear 2 parts of the document: Education and Age. If applicant has been granted 30 points first time when applied for HSMP and also again got the point when extended to TIER1 is that mean the when ILR application is also going ...

I am on a Tier 1 PSW and currently working in UK. Can I apply for a Tier1 General from UK.

Hi Garurav,

Tier-1 General category doesn't exist any more for new applicant. So you wont be able to apply for Tier-1 You will need to apply for Tier-2.

I do not think there is any measurement to judge which is highly skilled and which is low skilled. Every job requires high skill on that particular field. To me, sales consultant is one of the hardest jobs in the world which requires skills to convince people to buy something, any way that is a diff...

Hi Friends, I am wondering if there is any restriction on entrance for Tier 1 dependant after visa is issued. Is there any time frame within which needs to enter? Or dependant can enter after 4//5 months of visa issue date? Another question is, how many days of absence is allowed out side uk? Is th...

English language is mandatory for dependent. Like Tier1 applicant, dependent can claim the english points in point calculator. if the university is listed Uk NARIC then no need to take any exam. " How can I check if my Bachelors degree meets the criteria for the English language requirement be...

Absences are absences! It is up to you to prove (when you need to prove so) whether they were consistent with annual leave or work related or for some other personal reason(s). Absences from UK on account of annual leaves are discounted, as also absences due to work commitments (business trips abro...

couple extra documents will strengthen your case:
(1) 12 months pay slips( if you are claiming 12 months) as well as employer letter which will need to match with exact ammount in your bank statement.
(2) tax documents

forget about multiple jobs, it looks like its very very difficult to find even one job -:) I am not in UK. it is just the impression I got after reading through many other posts :( you are very true, in websites you will see millions of jobs but when you apply you will get 0 reply lol.. job situati...

new point wont effect you since you will be extanding not applying for new Tier-1. so you are fine about point. but i am not sure about the CAP. if it will count the extension applicants or not. hopefully it wont otherwise there is a possibility of another battle in high court.

Just called Home Office and they said that the right procedure would be to leave the country and apply from the home country. Although, it wasmalso said that they can not stop anyone from sending applications from the UK, but if it is refused then it would mean that I'll overstay my 28 days period....

Thanks for your replies. Shepherd - I haven't written to UKBA directly. Perhaps I should try contacting them as well. Guys just to be clear, I am willing to give up my Tier 1 General visa and get a new Tier 4 Student visa and not 'switch' between the two essentially. I'm not sure if that changes an...

Just my 2 cent.. i dont see any reason why you need to switch to tier-4. you can simply enter UK as Tier-1 and finish your study in 1 year and after that work for 1 year and simply extend your tier-1 visa for another 2 years. its just simple as that, given the fact that you will get a job that you w...
