The bank statements that i submitted did not have the employer name. They just mentioned : <Name> Salary <Month> and <Year>. And two of my bank statements just had my name. I got Tier 1 based on this. I think they just match the figures between the two proofs that you submit for the salary

I had applied for Tier 1 from within UK. For Maintenance Funds i just submitted my last 3 months original bank statements

It varies from application to application. straightforward ones shud take about 3-4 weeks. Other take around 6-8 weeks. But some of my freidns got earlier as well

I got Tier 1 from UK. We only submitted the original documents, Did not submit copies

The UK border agency number is 0114 207 4074. ( if you have applied from within the UK). You have to be very patient as the waiting times can be long. Also they dont give much info on the phone and it is not 100 % correct. The best option is to just wait. Avg time is 6-8 weeks. Calling them will not...

I had filed my Tier 1 from UK and my bank statements were within 1 month of the date of the application

I think you have every right to get your pay slips signed and stamped if they are not on the official paper and stationary of the company.,

Original Bank Statements dont need to be Stamped and Signed. They are sufficient proofs. However you need to make sure that the proof of Maintenance funds is not older than 1 month

Mention the date and year which is mentioned in the degree as the year of passing. Degree can be awarded late , but the year of passing does not change. It should match with what is written in the degree.

You have to submit original.
And they will not give you the passport before the visa ( takes about 7-8 weeks). You only get it if there is an emergency. Travel plans , job joining is not considered to be an emergency. Read the guidelines on the website (home office)

Dont worry. I called the UK Border agency. They said that they give a grace period of 21 days. They will accept old forms till 21 days after 08/08. Hence there is no problem

Thanks for the replies. I checked with the UK ICICI and they said that they cannot authenticate the bank statements of account held in India.

HI Does anybody know ir has anybody done this in the past : Have an Indian Savings account with ICICI and recieved the bank statements but got them stamped and signed by going to ICICI branch in UK. OR taking print outs of transactions on Indian account and got them stamped and signed from ICICI UK....

I had requested ICICI bank statements for the last 12 months to show my earnings . They sent me the statement as a 4 page document. All the pages state that they are orginal and authenticated bank statements. However the first page has the ICICI logo in color and the rest of the pages have it in Bla...

Even I dont remember the Start and End dates . That was the reason I was concerned.Thaks for the suggestions. They are quite helpful

They are just interested in the Start Date and the end date. I think giving the dates wrong could cause problems if they start verifying things.
