As Ramesh says above, the 1 month requirement is only for maintenance funds and not for proof of earnings. As long as your pay-slips are dated in such a manner as to show your earnings for a 12 month period within the last 15 months, you should not experience a problem on this score.

Agree - this will not be a problem. You just need evidence to show that you are disease-free when you enter the country.

Dress code won't be an issue (unless you're planning on turning up in your birthday suit or something similar)! Just be aware that you'll need to go through security on the day, so excessive jewelery metal belt buckles, etc., might just delay your progress through security by a few minutes or so. Yo...

Manish, with the greatest respect, your comment about state schools is somewhat misleading. I agree that there are some significant problems with state schools, but not every state school is as bad as you describe. Outside of the big cities and particularly London), most state schools don't come equ...

@chetan - mistakes are completely understandable. However, I don't see why I should have to pay for a new application fee and have a refusal stamped into my passport if the ECO/ECM errs. @dr - good question. Firstly facial discrimination does not necessarily mean race, it could be nationality or ot...

The point of this forum is to share the knowledge and experience. Nobody claims here to be perfect. The idea here is to let people-in-need know that they are not alone and, if possible, provide some usefull pointers in the right direction. You can get professional advice and pay huge amount of mone...

@push_hsmp Currently she holds no UK visa. Yes. She will apply as a General canditate for Tier 1 first based on her ability to get the required points. If that is unsuccesful then she will apply as a dependent after we get married on my existing Tier 1 visa. Is there a wait required between the two...

If we are going to adopt a truly pedantic view about spelling and the such, then surely it should be grammar and not grammer? :) You are living in UK, write proper English, without spelling and grammer mistakes buddy, atleast verify with spell checker before post. Regarding your questions, just foll...

I think that facial discimination would be highly unlikely, but why would you feel this way?

Either the wage-slips or the letter from the employer would be fine. Sending them both is a bit of overkill, but I can understand the natural anxiety of not wanting to provide insufficient evidence. Do make sure that the information provided in the letter ties in with the rest of the evidence so as ...

If you mean the last bank statement as evidence for maintenance funds, then it must be dtated within a month of the date of application. If you mean a bank statement to demonstrate earnings, then it needs to be dated in such a manner to tie in with the other evidence you are [providing and cover the...

Please find the updated information on the link below: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=32413 it looks like your partner wont be affected by the new laws as he already has ILR. Second thing is link states the bill will be implemented in dec 2010. Hi nksg, From what I am hearing, the...

I would get legal advice on this one. The letter of the law, as far as I'm aware, would insist that new evidence must not be submitted. However, there are frequent case-reports on this site of people submitting additional evidence and getting away with it, so there may be a valid legal precedent to ...

Congratulations!

2-3 weeks is pretty good going!

Also, I think your insurance is likely to be greater for non-UK driving licences. A Polish friend of mine pays a huge amount of insurance despite being an experienced driver, because his driving licence is an EU one.

No. They don't divulge that on the telephone. You just have to wait for the result by post, which is a horrible feeling!

Is it possible (and non-fradulent) to see if your name can be added to your husband's account?

Hello! 1. Do they ask you for Income tax Clearance certificate when you leave Indian airport? No they do not. 2. 'Emmigration Clearnace Not Required' stamp. If your passport says Emmigration Check Required, you are in for some trouble mate. The Emmigration officer will have to make a number of chec...

I'm guess you mean UK experience rather than IT experience?

Assuming the former, then the others above have already answered your question. If it's the latter, youu don't need to show this in any case.

Or if you have very young dependents whose appearance would be likely to change considerably over 2 years.

It does have to be a consecutive 12 month period, but if you didn't work for two months in that period but still earned enbough over the remaining 10 months to quualify for Tier , then that would be fine. Why didn't the amounts in youur bank statements and pay slips match, if youu don't mind me aski...

Did you have anything else to explain that your employer paid you in that manner, e.g. a covering letter and/or a letter from your employer confirming this? It does seem harsh to reject your application for being paid (effectively) more than you had been claiming for, but the guidance is clear in th...

Uusally, they'll just want to check that you really do work there, and perhaps confirm your pay, etc.

They aren't looking for a "reference" as such.

I concur. You need to put down the date of your entry to the country to work/live and not when you were here as a visitor.

You means extension of HSMP? Yes she can apply for HSMP to Tier 1 extension but not ILR due to 10 months break. Can one apply for second HSMP extension? Yes. Thanks for the prompt and quick response...... please clarify a couple of issues...... 1. how many extensions one can apply for? 2. how many ...
