I have booked my appointment date on 1st Feb 2014. After getting my ILR, i am planning to book my wife's FLR-M appointment. Hope i am doing it correctly? (or any possibility to do it with my ILR appointment)

Hi I have come back after a long time to this forum. This forum was very helpful when i did my initial Tier 1 application. Now i am ready for my ILR and just wanted to know if i am applying correctly. My initial Tier 1 was stamped on Mar 01 2009 and i have so far researched the following, - I can ap...

Ok. Thanks for the reply. One more question. Unfortunately i landed in UK on the 29th day after my VISA valid date. So in the future if i need to apply for PR or citizenship, would i need to apply for 2 extensions.. cause at the end of 5 years in my VISA, i wouldnt have completed the required 5 year...

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I heard that extension will be given from 2 years upto 5 years. So even if they stamp from today, will the new extension be valid for another 5 years instead of the usual 2 years?

Hi Guys

Any pointers?

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually the calculation is not reflected in the sheet. It simply says, Gross Pay, Taxable Pay and Net Pay (net pay is the gross pay minus deductions like income tax, NI contribution). My company has sent me on an onsite deputation and i qualify easily using the gross pay...

Hi I have two components in my UK salary slip, namely Gross Pay and Taxable Pay. For example if my gross pay is 2500 GBP and i submit house rent bills for 500 GBP, then my taxable pay becomes 2000 GBP i.e. i dont pay tax for the bills that i submit. If i am applying for Tier-1 VISA extension, then s...

Hi I got my Tier 1 stamped between Mar 01 2009 to Mar 01 2012 and applied in Dec 08. I have been in the uk for the last 14 months and i now qualify with 75 points for a Tier 1 Extension. My question is can i apply early for a Tier 1 extension with around 20 months left for expiry? If not, then how e...

Thanks for the reply. is it possible to get a Tier 2 visa and keep my Tier 1 valid. or should i cancel my Tier 1 and apply for a Tier 2.

for guys on Tier2, does the embassy cancel the Tier 2 visa and then give a Tier 1 VISA or does both the VISA types remain valid.

Hi guys. i recently got a Tier 1 VISA. i approached my current employer and he agreed to send me onsite to UK in March 09. i checked with some of the project mates and they said that i cannot travel with a Tier 1 VISA. i can only travel on the company's Tier 2 work permit VISA. is it possbile to get...

Data of receipt : 12/1/2009
Center : VFS Chennai
Visa : stamped between 01/03/2009 to 01/03/2012


Thanks to everyone in this forum. You guys saved me a lot of money.

I hope that photocopies of Form 16 should be sufficient for IT verification.
Anyway i have my payslips and bank statements for earnings proof.

If i need to get the photocopies attested, should i get it from my company HR or Income Tax dept of India

I had an online payslip in pdf format signed and stamped by my HR

Hi, i will be submitting my application tommorrow and i have one last doubt. i am working for ***** and most of my pay is in a variable component comprising of Company Performance Incentive(CPI), Individual performance incentive (IPI) and a department specific incentive (VCPI). The CPI is paid about...

Yes.. logically makes no sense.. but the VFS offce and their hotline keep insisting that i need to submit. They are not accepting it as an optional document reference..

Hi, i am applying for VISA on 11th. when i enquired at the VFS office (chennai) and the toll free number, they insisted that i need to submit my Form 16s and returns forms.. Eventhough i have 2 proofs (salary slips & bank statements) they kept repeating that i need to submit my tax documents als...

Hi,

The account statements are dot matrix printouts taken at the branch.

can i use the same statements for both pay slip and minimum balance proof? Has anyone had problems with account statements from ICICI bank?

Hi, i am applying for Tier 1 VISA next week and when i checked with my bank(ICICI), they told me that they do not issue minimum balance certificates over a period. They would provide an account statement for the 3 month period which i can use as proof. For salary proof, i am anyway submitting 12 mon...

Hi, even i am not able to get a minimum balance statement from ICICI. The bank says that they will issue a Account statement for the entire 3 month period which should be more that sufficient to proove that i have maintained the neccessary funds. For earning potential, i am submitting a 12 month acc...
