I submitted my HSMP to T1 General application at the end of March and I don't have my PBS reference number letter received so I requested HO to resent it to me. I received a letter today with my reference number but I am not sure whether it is the correct one. So what is the format of PBS reference ...

Hi nnj10, I check UKBA website and there is only "Change of Circumstances form" for tier 1 post study available http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/poststudy/changeofcircumstancesform/ Can I use it for Tier 1 General? Or there is another form for Tier 1 General? Thanks i...

Thanks guys, The reason I need it is that I will need to change my address this week!!! I have to talk to them to change my address. But without the reference number, am I able to do that? Do I need to write a letter to them stated that my reference number is not available at the moment and then I p...

Dear all, I sent my application (HSMP to Tier 1 G) on 23rd of March, but so far I haven't received my application confirmation letter. But HO has taken the money from my account on 24th of March. I called them (0870 606 7766) last Thursday and I asked them what my reference number is but what they s...

Thanks guys.

Thanks push_hsmp, It is not Visa Electron, it is called VISA DEBIT card (printed on the card). Any idea? Thanks. Is it a VISA Electron card? If so then see below from Wikipedia: Visa Electron is a debit or credit card available across most of the world, with the exception of Canada, Australia, and t...

Hi,

Can I use VISA DEBIT card to pay the application fee? There are only Delta, Maestro* (including Solo) available from the T1 application form.

Thanks.

I decided to submit earlier (within two and half months). I will post the result here so that everyone in the future will be clearer about the fact. But based on experience, can anyone tell me that what is the most possible date the visa will be stamped: 1. Application Date? 2. Visa approve Date? 3....

Hi tapindersingh, Thank you for your info. But are you sure about that. I read different posts, for example people applied 5 months before the expire date but the date granted on the approve date not application date. Maybe I am confused about the different terms. From what I understand now is that ...

Thanks man, I also desperately want to know whether HO can grant me visa started right after the date my current visa expire if I apply 2 and half months earlier? If not, I would rather to wait until 6 weeks before my visa expire. Please anyone kindly give me the answer. Don't worry T_mahmood, you w...

Dear all, So far I have heard one person has extended his visa (non JR to T1) 3 months before visa expire and he got the visa stamped right after his visa expire. And I also heard people said we can extend visa within 3 months before current visa expire without the need to provide the reason why ext...

Thanks for the info, umanghere. looks like HSMP visa extension are NOT eligible for same day service though http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/contact/applyinginperson/servicesnotavailable/ The offices cannot consider your application if you are: a person with exceptional leave to remain; a person wi...

From what I know if your passport has less than 3 pages available or has less than one year valid dates left you can request a new passport from your embassy

Hi,

Is there any employment letter format for one prove of Previous Earning?

Thanks

Thank you,T_mahmood. I didn't realize that people could misunderstand that expenses are included in monthly gross pay. I think I need to ask my employer to make a statement in the employment letter that expenses are not included in the monthly gross pay although they are in the same transaction of n...

Thanks for your reply: There are two things in my case I am not clear: 1. my company name will change in April so when I submit the application, company name on my bank statement will be old one. Do I need an additional letter from my employer to prove my company name is changed on April? 2. Company...

Thank you, tvn_ramesh Actually I have checked my P60 from 2007-2008 and I found out it shows exact amount of my total incoming from 1st of April 2007 - 31st of March 2008. Does that mean that I can use P60 2008-2009 to as a prove to my incoming from 1st of April 2008 - 31st of March 2009? Is that OK...

Hi,

I get paid from at the end of each month so my imcome period is from "1st April 2008 - 31st March 2009"

What I understand is that P60 cover from 6th April 2008 - 5th April 2009. Can I use P60 as second source? As I can see there are 6 days difference.

Any help is appreciated.

I need to extend my 2 year hsmp visa non-JR and my current visa expires on June. I have bank statements as one prove at the moment. But the payslips are too simple to use I think: each payslip is a small piece of form (It has bar code and "adams" at the left bottom corner) and the figures ...
