Perhaps if you were to state what D3 and D4 actually is, you might get a quicker response. Not everyone has memorised the forms!!

I read somewhere something about if you leave within 28 days past your visa expiry, you are not considered an overstayer. The same may apply to this case as well. PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NO REFERENCES FOR THIS AND IT IS JUST OPINION! Perhaps it might be worth sending an email to the Home Office or a phon...

Not to worry kingfahad. It's definitely not slow for everyone. Just hope yours is one of the applications that is quickly resolved.

Best of luck.

I have called Home Office and the status is "Under Consideration" and i have informed that I didn't sent the seperate applications for dependents then she checked the status and asked me to hold for some time and informed that "your application will be processed and u r dependent app...

She can use her own bank account or your own bank account to show that she has £1,600 for three months while you need to use YOUR OWN account to show you have £2,800 for three months. If she is applying with you then you need to fill out an extra form for her - a dependant's form. You might also w...

It's a good thing you have all the proper documents. The most important thing would then be presentation so the case worker can find everything quickly. It might be a good idea to print out the points calculator assessment done on the UKBA website, so they can have a clear summary of what you are cl...

But i am not able get the HO line. If i won't get the line also i m trying to take a chance by sending th...

At the time of initial application, for how many days was the balance above 800? I'm sorry I don't know what questions you may be asked in court but to answer one of your questions, you can use your UK bank statement in your home country. But hopefully the judge will be lenient in your favour and yo...

Google should be everyone's best friend. Just google vaf9 and you come up with the form. But the website is

I'm not aware of any cap on sources of income, but you have to understand that the more complicated the application is, the more difficult it might be for the home office and for you to get yor documents together. If the four incomes you have are valid and are what you need to fulfill your points va...

mbasmart - my story is 90% identical to you.. i also applied last year March under old style HSMP. got it approved on the first place though, started maintaining balance in november.. my student visa also ran out on 31st January 2009. I was short of 2 days with my 3 months of bank statements. I hav...

All, When I applied for my WP->Tier 1 application on 4th-Feb-09 I didn’t send a separate applications for dependents(2).Today I realized that separate dependent application(PBSDependant Application form) also needs to be filled separately along with main applicants. As per the home office schedul...

I have a feeling that in the aftermath of current recession the govts interest in foreign workers obviously has changed. I do agree that their policy has changed. Why else would they up the Tier 1 requirement to Master's level. UK workplace has always valued experience and skills more than degrees,...

This is totally ridiculous! Does anyone have a clue how long this process will take? Seems we are being punished for switching from Student to Tier 1? Does it really take forever? No information, NOTHING! Application awaiting consideration since beginning of Jan 2009............. :?: :cry: Clues an...

Flygirl - your advice has been taken. :) Thanks. About the payslips, they are stamped and signed. However, the print date on the payslips does not match the date on the bank statement. I do have a letter from the employer mentioning gross and net salary (dates matching transfers). Should I send the...

I'm not really familiar with the HSMP and its transition processes to Tier 1, so I must admit I have absolutely no idea what the "Tier 1 approval" means. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable might be able to shed some light in that regard. However, I don't think there would be any harm in w...
