Hi there, Having just recently found out about the possible MAC changes to the Tier 1 visa in the UK, I'm am trying to find out my options if the recommendations are accepted into law. Currently, I have applied and have been granted a Tier 5 YMS Visa into the UK (I am a New Zealand citizen) and thi...

Hi guys, Question D3 (page 20) of the application is asking when my entry clearance was issued (the very first one). But my visa does not show the date, I got that visa almost three years ago in my country and it is different from visas issued now. What should I do, just leave the DATE field blank,...

thank you for the replies. Say if I apply by post, is it ok if I post my application on 1 Aug? If 1 Aug is a Sunday, then Royal Mail will not collect it then and the post mark will be of the next working day, i.e., 2 Aug. For applications sent by post, the date of post mark is considered as the dat...

This worries me a lot. somebody pleeeeaaaase advise!! Get the University/Institute that awarded the degree to issue a letter stating the error in name or get the certificate changed to your name. Having said that, there isn't any time left if you are applying in a couple of days. If you can't postp...

It doesn't really matter. They will not go through the tenancy agreement anyways.

Hi, i submitted my application via post to the home office here in the UK on the 30th of November, payment was taken on d 2nd of December, acknowledgement letter received on the 7th of December....and i'm still waiting.

Say my currently HSMP visa expires on 1 Aug, I want to extend in person so that I can get the result on the same day. And I want to apply on 1 Aug so that I can claim income of July. Unfortunately, 1 Aug is Sunday, so I guess they are not open. So can I apply on the following working day? No, they ...

Check with Royal Mail if, for Recorded Delivery, a note is left for the receipient that mail is awaiting delivery and must be collected within 7 days. If they say yes (and I believe they do leave a note), then there is no need to panic as it will be collected by HO - just as they collect applicatio...

Dear all, I booked a preimum service on 10th March. I am planning to provide my HSBC flexisaver bank stmts from 4th Nov to 4th March as my maintence funds. The balance is £1,000 from 4th Nov to 17th December, £3000 from 18th December to date. My problem is that my salary was paid into my current ...

This is just an update for anyone who might be in the same situation. I found a lawyer online and contacted him. He said I can't appeal as my HSMP is still valid till March. Best scenario, he said is to reapply closer to my expiry and then get rejected (as we know I'll get rejected as I can't show ...

I think you will have to supply Final certificate. If you go the route you suggested you might be taking little risk and will be race against time. Better get in to student visa and then back to Tier 1 .. you will have enough time to submit paperwork without panic. Again, wait for seniors if they h...

please let me know the payment method as well .. i mean is it better to pay be cc or debit card ?? heheh those things should be one of the least things to worry about. For HO I believe it makes no difference. They have a payment processing department and can handle everything streamlined. Pick the ...

Unfortunately no. Can't even visit Gibraltar unless you get a separate visa stamped.

Did you try to extend your visa when the initial leave was still valid? If yes and if it was refused then you may have been given a chance to appeal... just trying to understand your case a bit more to see if there is anyway out apart from leaving the country.... as Push said, that is looking like t...

Hi there, Thanks a lot for the kind reply. Yes I have appealed and provided evidence for the missing funds. I would like to know how long it will take for the AIT to deal the appeal?

I saw a few people on the forum who applied successfully 6 months before the expiry date. You can apply as well. Anyway, you do not have to give reason for an early application.
