In that case, you say in your letter that you are paying 750 quids with the exectation that BIA will refund any monies if they decide to lower the fees at a later date. You are assuming that BIA is going to reduce extension application fees to 350 quids. BIA can change application fees (for any sch...

I think you will have to pay 750 quids for your extension application. £750 for all other applicants, including applications for extension within Tier 1 (General) if you are currently in the United Kingdom under HMSP. Also, you might want to read through this post where, as per the OP, his extensi...

Following is the cover letter I'm going to attach with my Tier-1 / HSMP extension application later this week. Would be great if you guys can have a look and let me know if anything needs to be tweaked ... especially where I'm giving reference to JR ... Dear Sir/Madam, I qualified under HSMP back in...

HO says that applications can be made one month prior to visa expiry. My LTR expiring 15th July which means I need to send the application on the 15th Of June as HO regards application date from the day it is posted. 15th June is Sunday so if I manage to send it before the weekend then it would be T...

The ‘tier1genpolicyguide.pdf’ states that: Documentary Requirements – All Applications 64. If the applicant has previously been granted leave under Tier 1 (General) or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, and previously scored points for the same qualification for which he wishes to claim poi...

thanks

Sorry to ask this question but it's better to get a confirmation.

Is it 5 weeks or 4 weeks before the HSMP expiry we are required to apply for extension?

I'm also going to apply for extension next week 1+3 yrs on HSMP. Would it be a good idea to reference JR in my covering letter so that if they 'decide' to honour court ruling, they can consider my application in that respect?

How is JR judgment related to application fees?? :o regards I'll contact HO once the JR implemented and they have reduced the extension fee due to that, to reimburse me the difference. Their move for HSMP has been declared by court as ILLEGAL. HO doesn't have a ground at the moment to charge us £7...

Yeah its a rip-off, no idea how its justified for an extension. At roughly £2.65 per pint of Pride that's around 283 LESS PINTS that I am going to be able to contribute to the Great and Proud Publicans of the UK due to the £750 fee. £750 for an extension.... They should be so lucky if I toss the...

Yeah its a rip-off, no idea how its justified for an extension. just can't believe it ... why are they making me do it again????????? no JR implementation yet and if so in coming months then what about people like me who had to apply again and pay that much money for something that was declared ill...

Sorry for the confusion ... I mixed up Tier 1 with HSMP. In HSMP they were accepting letters from universities / institutions. But not valid for Tier 1 applications (new) or extensions. Apologies :cry: So, please correct me if I'm wrong, if I apply now for extension with a letter from my uni statin...

No option for those whose qualifications are not on the BIA database but have a letter from their institution / university confirming the same :?: You will find a few people who fall in this category. regards Interesting ... so HO accepting letter from the uni/college that taught the degree in Engl...

My extension is due in june and preparing my file. I urgently need help to prepare a covering letter referring to the JR judgement.

Why do you need areference to JR judgement in your application form?

I’m on 1+3 years on HSMP which is expiring in July this year. I don’t want to go through the whole exercise again to move to Tier-1 to ‘qualify’ for an ‘extension’ by sitting in IELTS and stuff since I already been through an exercise back in 2004. The question is - what options I have? ...
