Its working without any glitches now.

They are constantly changing options in all the screens for today. This morning Tier 1 General was absent from the list of choices available for Premium service. (Now its back) Right now I am trying to book an appointment, but no matter what type of appointment I choose, I get the following error: S...

Update: No specific numbers, but a useful piece of information: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/croydon_peo_tier_1_general_appli#incoming-197657 The percentage of caseworkers allocated to applications submitted in person out of the total staff dealing with cases in Croydon PEO is 69%. The perc...

Some one already did the ground work, will be interesting to see the results:

When you book an appointment through an immigration Solicitor, do they get an appointment for A. you (to submit your application yourself) or B. is it for them (submitting your application on your behalf)? Or in other words, when you get an appointment through Solicitor, who visits PEO: A. you or B....

Hi all, I have seen sushdmehta's helpful post: Booking PEO appointment online for in-person application(s) However there are couple of questions not answered there, so can I request you to kindly help on following queries: 1. Can anyone (who has applied with denendant children) confirm (and point me...

Not sure if all noted this (good) change (coming from 06 April 2011) for Tier 1 settlements: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/draft-060411/t1-settlement.pdf?view=Binary says: 2.2 Applications that fall short of the five year continuous period In some cases, appli...

Thank goodness I only picked up this thread now so I could miss all the babbling. Can't understand how people can't understand simple english, think UKBA need to raise the requirements for english language criteria. Simple test pass or fail. If you understand the statement of intent you PASS if you...

In short, if you initally started with 100, you need 100. If you initally started with 95, you need 95.

That is precisely what I meant.

If an applicant required 80 (attributes) + 10 (maintenance funds) + 10 (English language) = 100 points then the same applicant will now require to score 100 (attributes) points to qualify for extension. If an applicant required 75 (attributes) + 10 (maintenance funds) + 10 (English language) = 95 p...

It is beyond me how people in this thread can be so confused by such a simple statement. If you are able to qualify and enter the UK on a Tier 1 visa you should have the intelligence to interpret the extension requirements. You are absolutely correct @wf How many points you must score to apply says...

Are you interpreting this to mean that those people who got their first/initial Tier 1(G) after 05 April 2010 with (80 + 10 + 10 =) 100 points would now need (100 +10 + 10 =) 120 points? no ur wrong...the 100 points change was done on july 19 after which u needed to score 100 points which includes ...

"The points threshold for extensions will, however, be raised to 100 for those who were required to score 100 points when they were originally granted Tier 1 (General) leave". I am ubsure what this means? Is it saying that those whom were required to score 100 will still need to score 100...

Interesting to read the following paragraph in the newly released Tier 1 General Forms : News: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2010/dec/35-pbs-forms-guidance Changes: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/tables-changes-1210.pdf Page 13, Paragr...

http://rds.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs10/horr43c.pdf Says Over a quarter (29%) of those who entered the UK in the work leading to citizenship) route in 2004 were granted settlement after five years.

given in http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/statementsofchanges/2009/cm7701?view=Binary have silently removed the provision for students to apply tor Tier 1 General immediately after their study (Page 15 1st paragraph): It deletes the provision for periods of study ...

I know most people believe that once they got visa then it is valid under any circumstances for that period. That is not the case. Govt have power to revoke validity of even currently given visa too to stay or work here in UK. I strongly believe that UKBA cannot revoke any valid Visas arbitrarily, ...

If it was the case that the new rules would apply to HSMP (75points) and not HSMP (65 point), I believe it may well apply to future Tier 1 extension applications. In such a case, current Tier 1 holder’s extensions would be next due in 2010-2011. That is precisely what I think. As per my understan...

Well I would also be affected if the changes (Masters degree, 20k salary, dependents not allowed to work, etc.) are applied retrospectively. My inner feeling is that the changes would not be retrospective, because if applied retrospectively, from the people who are applying for extension: - 25-50% o...

any new policies like this is planned ??

"shortaged skill" is only important for Tier 2 and not Tier 1

Can anyone share if they have got the Visa approval stamped, without having to submit the Transcripts? thanks and regards, Shalini. Don't submit extra documents. If you are applying from India, degree certificate and last semester marksheet(for Integra) would be required. If outside India, only deg...
