Q1: I am in the process of collecting the documents from US and it would take a while to get them. So, if I apply in October 2010, what are the 12 months should I consider? If its 12 out of last 15 months, I would be having only 11 payslips since July 2010 to Sept 2010 which would still suffice the...

Hi,

Where do I apply in the US. Do we have VFS offices here or need to apply by post/courier.

Rgds,

Thanks! aruni4470.

How about the bank statements for supporting the salary slips.

Do we need all 12 bank statements stamped and signed not more than 30 days before applying or it’s OK to have these signed earlier/on different dates.

How old the bank document can be .. for maintainenec funds I understand the documents from the bank should not be older than 15 days on the day of your application

Do we have a similar guideline for salary slips and supporting bank documents also.

Is your account an "online account"? I have a savings bank account with ICICI. It’s my salary account. I do not get paper statements but e-statements since I have opted for e-statements. Is my account an 'online account’? Since the brick-and-mortar version of the bank is also availabl...

My company sends pay slips as PDF documents. The document has all the details; company name, employee name, employee number, bank a/c number etc. I took printout and got them signed and stamped from the payroll department. The problem is it’s on plain paper not on company letterhead. The document ...

Check paragraph 197 of the policy guideline ... 1. Personal bank or building society statements covering the three-month period immediately before the application:The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show: • the applicant’s name; • the account number; • the date of...

Confused. Should it not be the Forex rate on the date of the Statement. If my claim period is October 07 to September 08. I am applying on the 15th of October 2008. In this case, since the bank statement should not be older than 7 days, I take the statement on the 10 October. My understanding is tha...

You are right. It is forex rate on the day of the statement and not on the day of the application that is considered.

1)So my question is how to get this with in time and does this again need to be verified/stamped by bank? The bank statement for Previous Earning or Maintenance Fund should not be older than 7 days. Requesting for statements on phone or online might take more than 7 days to deliver. So the best way...

At today’s rate of Rs. 78.966/GBP you have sufficient funds. However, the conversion is done on the day of your application irrespectively of the conversion value over the three month period. Your Rs. 2,51,000.00 is quiet sufficient to claim points for Maintenance Funds as long as the value of GBP...

UK Tier 1 General Visa is a Point Based System and not Lottery Based System like US H1 Visa. Job cut in the UK should not have any impact on the Tier 1 Visa applications as the number of Tier 1 Visas to be issued per year is not restricted. It might however have impact on the jobs within the UK for ...

For Bank Account that you are using for Past Earnings, it is not required to give any transaction details. However, if there are any major debits/credits that you think might be questionable, its always good to mention that in the cover letter and give a proof. This is not 'Mandatory' but a 'Good to...

Hi,

The Tier 1 Policy Guideline PDF file is no longer available at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... yguide.pdf

Could someone mail/upload the same if available. I guess not possible to upload files on this message board.

Hi All, I am shifting to a new company and will be joining the new one in mid-September. Applying for Tier1 in November 2008. Now, since I am serving notice period, my company is not paying me August salary. It is not that I’ll not get the August salary; it’ll come as part of the Full and Final ...

Even I was thinking of applying for myself first, and if the application is successful, then apply for my wife. Now, have a lot of doubts about this. 1. Can I apply first and if my Visa is successful then apply for my wife? I was thinking if my visa application gets rejected for any reason, then I c...

Had read some where, not sure where. Once I get the visa, i'll have to fly to UK in 3 months time. Can someone clarify please.

If the Tier 1 application is rejected for whatever reason, is the visa fee refunded. VFS takes Rs. 51,000.00

This is also an error on part of entry clearance officer, because he should take uniform exchange rate for whole period (exchange rate which is valid on last day of statement on onanda.com, which in your case is 05/07/2008).
