@nitin: Most of the docs that i included in my baby's application were not mentioned as mandatory. My suggestion is, apart from submitting the reqd docs, if you submit extra supporting docs it makes your application more genuine and easier for the caseworker to decide on your application.

T1(G) overseas is closed now. No more new T1(G) applications accepted outside UK.

The statement says : There will be transitional arrangements beyond 6 April 2011 for some applicants who are already in the UK, and we will announce details of these in due course. Does that some means not all the applicants will be given extension :?: :?: I read the speech by Damien and couldnt fi...

I have been reviewing the UK home office website links provided in this forum but could not find on where exactly it was mentioned that only 5400 tier1 visas will be granted during this 9 month period??

I have agreed for a short term with my company now.

Thanks for all your time & suggestions.

May have worked for the other guy, but it may not work for you. Besides, no two cases are exactly alike. Sometimes if you get a caseworker who oversees a point or two, you may get thru. But that's very iffy. very true, thats why i asked that second question. Knowing that you are going to be based o...

@rg1, Thanks for your time & answer. I was just searching thru the forum and came across this post 1. If the company pays me salary in GBP, then will there be any problems? 2.
