If you can supply your original bank statement with ending balance of 800 or more issued before 26 Sep (i.e before you dispatched application) then you should have appeal allowed.

Just my thoughts... however do not take them for granted..better consult a lawyer.

Following colleges have been removed from the register: 1. Cambridge college of learning 2. Westminster college 3. Barmingham international college 4. Oxford college 5. This list will get longer by every single week passing. BITE: Most of the applications from BITE graduates are being holded. That i...

Better contact HO directly to ask what happens in this scenario generally and preprae yourself better in the light of their answer. As for as solicitors are concerned... its hard to find a solicitor these days who is really competant in immigration laws... I have personally come across at least 3-4 ...

Why did you not apply (at the same time) as her dependent when your wife applicant for Tier1(General)?

Timelines of one of the in country application I am aware of:

Posted to HO on: 1 Nov 2008

HO needs two piece of independant evidence in support of earnings under Tier1. Is combination of payslips (employer document) and p60 (HMRC document) sufficient to claim points for earnings?? If this combination is not acceptable and considered to be originated from the same source then could you pl...

I think 'Super' made application overseas from New Zeland, however we are mainly talking about 'in country applications' in this thread.

I wonder why people have stoped posting their timelines and feedback on this thread!!!! In earlier days, members also use to give their feebback in case of refusals/unsuccessful applications however it has been quite a lot of time since I read about any unsuccessful applciation! What do you think me...

Just giving you the timelines of one of the case I am aware of:

Tier1(general) application

Posted on 22 Oct.
Positive decision received on 20 Nov 2008.

The best thing is to appear for IELTS if you have 30 points for qulaification. You seem to have reasonable level of English. Should not be any problem for you. If you fail to get 6.5 band in IELTS then you should think about option 4 and 5. Why take risk/chance of 750 pounds, wait for 1-2 months and...

Yes, KAFF is right. since you have made HSMP application under rules in place after 5 Dec 2006 and you have already met English language requirement therefore you do not need to meet this requirement again.

Your college is not exception. There are several colleges in the U.K which are accepted by HO for the issuance of IGS/PSW but they are not given points for Tier1(General) HSMP. The siutation is much complicated. I think you have got following options: Accoridng to Tier1(General) form, points can onl...

What documents college can provide to show that the diploma is NVQ level 7 or above? I think all the colleges provide transcript and diploma certificate on the basis of which PSW or IGS is awarded to applicants. I think, It is not the responsibility of college to justify that diploma is NVQ level 7 ...

No chance if you are not working for the employer (who sponsored) you.

When you apply for ILR HO, will call your employer to ask if he still needs you.


Submission of tax is a seconary issue.

Not possible even by hook or by crook. You need to live and work in the U.K and meet Tier1(General) criteria. You would need to supply bank statements (confirming salary credits coming in) and payslips (issued from U.K employer) in support of your claimed earnings. If you can not do the above then y...

Change your address with your bank.

Then request the bank statement from your bank for as long as you wish. The statement will have your new address.

NutanRaj - Applicant does not fall in the category you have mentioned. Applicant is not covered by JR as extension application was considered under the old rules (i.e economic activity) as it was lodged before Nov 2006 change of rules. sushdmehta - Thanks a lot for posting your valuable comments for...

Dear forum members I need some advise on this particular scenario: ------------------------------------------ HSMP extension applied before 7 Nov 2006 on the basis of economic activity. Since application was made before 7 Nov 2006 therefore not covered by JR. Background and timelines are: 1. HSMP ex...

Dear members I am creating this new thread for all those (in country) U.K applicants who have recently applied for Tier(1) General HSM and had their application refused by the BIA. I request all such applicants to leave some kind of feedback on this thread. So other who intend to lodge new applicati...

Dear members By looking at this thread it looks like 95% of Tier one applications for HSMP are successful. I have not seen more than 2 cases on this thread which are refused. What I mean to say is that people are not posting their comments who are getting refused. I would like to appeal all of you t...
