Hi thanks for replying . i dont qualify for ILR at the time of tier1 extension as i entered the country late and according to the new rule . " Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date applicant entered the UK towards the five years, provided period was...

Dear All You might need pen and paper for this :-) AnnexB section 2.2 says Applications that fall of 5 year continuous period: In some cases applicants may have been granted five year continuous leave but will not have spent five years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Casew...

Yes mate you was lucky for your first approval coz for
Salary you need salary slip and for directors income you have to submit dividend vouchers and not net profit shown on balance sheet.

Yes he did submit a profit and loss statement with his initial application which was signed by his accountant. Its like a company annual report.

Am sure UKBA will not penalize him. But what happens if tax is declared accurately but he is genuinely not able to pay tax and instead of £5k tax he pays only £2k or £3k ? Coz he spoke to his accountant and he said tax payment can be amended but that will reduce his business income and if visa is re...

Min income required for extension was £35000

No he would have been in trouble if business income fell below £21k but as now he has already received his visa on total income showed earlier ,his main worry now is about this extension .

He has already paid tax of £800 on £6000 business income.

Thanks RFD for reply. Yeah tax year is when he got his initial Tier 1 visa. But it has happened with few people that they paid less than what they should be paying but inspite they got the extension. Do you think they could be in trouble during ILR ? Does UKBA always check TAX history before issuing...

Ok so it means they will check my papers in details only after my biometrics received by them ? After they receive biometrics on an average how much time do they take to decide on an application ( tier1 extension) ?

Does UKBA process application only after biometrics recvd by them or the case worker starts the process as soon as they receive the application irrespective of them receiving our biometrics info as it takes almost a month to receive the biometrics letter .[/img]

But do these ad hoc statements from HSBC needs to be stamped or signed or need a covering letter ? Or just normal copies with word duplicate is acceptable by home office ?

Hi i recently experienced so much of stress dealing with barclays bank. i lost my original statements and ordered duplicate copies after numerous requests to head office, they finally send it to me on plain paper and did it twice, branch guys at different branch refused to stamp or sign, call centre...

Is the stamp with bank sort code acceptable ?? Or has to be a certified true copy stamp ?? . Does it needs to be signed as many of them at Barclays don't sign

Bank stamped all the statements including my internet online account and ad hoc bank statement copies which wer on bank stationery.
