Hi All,

Any answers for the questions in my previous post?

Thanks a lot for your help

Thanks a lot CR001! Yes, renting in London is expensive, but I guess no way around it. The good thing is we stayed in London for 8 years and have a good idea of where we want to rent again. Also, we might just rent the same apartment we had for 8 years since we know the landlord, so that might make ...

Hey thanks for that :) Is it ok for my friend to write in the letter that we will be staying in his apartment only temporarily until we finalise accommodation of our own? Or does it have to say that we'll be staying in his apartment for X months? Our plan is to reach London, stay with our friend for...

Dear Simon, Casa, Thanks a lot for your prompt response - really appreciate it :) Apologies but I'd like to ask another question regarding the accommodation. One of my very close friends owns a flat (3 bedrooms) in London and he lives there alone. I spoke to him and he said he'd be happy to write a ...

Thanks a lot for your reply :) In terms of finances, is it ok to show three different savings accounts (1 of mine from UK, 1 of mine from India, and 1 of my wife from UK). If I convert the savings in the Indian account to GBP and add the funds in the 2 UK accounts, the sum meets the financial requir...

Does this accommodation need to be in our name?

Dear Friends, I am a British National and my wife has an Indian passport. We both stayed in London till June 2015 (I got my citizenship in early 2015 and my wife was on a PBS dependant visa at that point). We left UK in June 2015 to work remotely (most of our work is online so we have been travellin...

Hi Michali,

Thank you ever so much for your response. Where did you get that list of banks that are accepted by UKVI?

Thanks

Hi friends,

Would appreciate if someone could answer my questions.

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the prompt reply :) So if I break the FD and have that money in my Indian savings account (NRE), can I use that (even though it's not in a UK bank account but Indian account). Sure, the savings will be in our accounts for the past 6 months and we will show original bank statements. In ter...

Hi Guys, First of all, thanks a lot for your invaluable support on this forum. It's absolutely amazing. I'm a British citizen and my wife is an Indian citizen. Both of us were in UK till early 2015 (from 2008). I had a Tier 1 General visa and eventually got the British citizenship. My wife had a stu...

Hi,

We are not sure of our exact date of arrival in UK, but I guess we'll bring it forward so that we can come back and apply.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply :) Yes, my ILR was based on Tier 1 General 5 years residence As for the second question, can we apply for her extension of Tier 1 General dependent now even though her visa expires on 26th March 2016 ? Basically, is there a rule that says we can't apply for the extension say 8 ...

Hi,

Could anyone shed some light on this, please ?

I'd be very grateful

Thanks

Hi, I didn't use UKNARIC letter during Tier 1 and ILR process. During those applications, I chose the "Bachelor Degree" dropdown option (from what I can remember, the BAchelor (Honours) Degree) option wasn't even there then, but I don't remember 100%. Now the Bachelor degree doesn't fetch ...

I looked at my degree certificate again last night. It says this: Degree of Bachelor Of Engineering (Computer Engineering) Awarded to <My Name> And then it has a paragraph which says "this is to certify that so and so was awarded the Second Honours ...." Since it says "Honours", ...

Hi fwd079, Yes, you are right, but you have put "Bachelor (Honours) Degree". My degree was the "Bachelor Degree" option in the drop down. That is the option I used in all my previous applications. I don't think I can use the "Bachelor (Honours) Degree" option because my...

Dear Experts, I have been living in the U.K. for over 6 years now and have had the ILR since December 2013.

Hi, Yes, I did tick multiple entries. In fact, I also wrote a cover letter where I requested a multiple entry. Could the experts comment on whether I can apply for another schengen visa while I have this one (which is valid from 10th May to 15th May)? Any other advice? I guess, I'll just have to liv...
