So I've been in the UK on a Tier 1 for the last few months trying to look for a job in accounting. It is proving to be rather difficult and I am running out of funds to support myself here. If I were to get a seasonal job (not in accounting/business) would i be jeopardizing my chances of getting an ...

I mean the 2-year extension of the visa after the initial 3 year stamp. Has anyone successfully applied for a second 2-year extension?

Has anyone here applied for a Tier1 extension more than once (and has been approved)?

1971, thanks for your advise. I went to the bank again to see if the branch manager will sign and stamp the check images for me...unfortunately she said she can stamp them but cannot sign. She provided me with her business card to submit with the images. As of now, the case worker has only asked for...

The check images I received from the bank are not stamped/signed or notarized and I checked with the bank branch manager and was told that she is not "authorized" by the bank to do that. I guess I'll just have to submit what I've got and hope my case worker is satisfied with the info.

Congratulations Mani.

Gordon and Tier1hyderabad, thanks for responding. Gordon, I went and got check images (front and back) from my bank. However, they are not on official bank stationery. I am guessing since she asked me to fax them to her, they don't have to look original but I am a little worried as there is no accou...

Hi Guys, So I applied for a Tier-1 Visa last week. I have submitted my payslips for Aug 16, 2007 through August 15, 2008. I also submitted bank statements for the period. The problem is some of my deposits don't match up exactly to the deposit amounts on my statements. I was issued manual checks fro...

I did explain the problem of expediting by the bank and i said the transaction history is the best I could do since my statement does not close till the 5th of Nov and I needed to send in my stuff by Monday. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

The guidelines state that the date of application for applicants outside of the UK will be the date the payment is made or the day the biometric details are taken.

Thanks Mani for your responses. I needed to send in all my supporting documents by Monday and the letter will most likely be here on Monday so I ended up sending in my application with the transaction history printed on bank letterhead paper through yesterday. I am really hoping that will be enough ...

I am having issues getting the letter from BofA. Did they give you a print out of your transaction history on official stationery when you went in to the branch?

mjmani,

did you get a maintenance funds letter from Bank of America? How long did it take? and was it sufficient?

I am planning to submit my payslips for August 16, 2007 through August 15, 2008 and corresponding bank statements that cover this period. For the maintenance funds part, I would like to submit a letter from the bank with the required information and not submit any bank statements for the last 3 mont...

I have a Master's Degree from the US but whe I put my university and degree information in the points based calculator I get 30 points if I say my degree is a Master's (Taught) and 35 if I say my degree is Master's (Research). Does anyone know what the following terms mean: Master's (Taught) Master'...

...received in the UK? Why are you sending your Tier 1 application to the UK? Not sending to the UK...I meant wherever I am directed to send the documents once I complete the VAF9 online. The reason I ask is I am turning 28 in a few days. I figured I would apply online now and send the documents ne...

Which is considered the date of your application:

The day you submit your online application?

or

The day all documents are received in the UK?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there are any VAC's in the US? specifically CA? or do US applicants have to apply online and send supporting documents via mail?

Thanks.
