Hi, As per the guidelines, the photograph should not be more than 1 month. Have you submitted the same photograph as the one used for initial visa in Aug 08? If you have then the case worker is correct in rejecting the application. You cannot appeal. If not, then how would you prove that it is a rec...

Two evidences from different sources need to be provided for earnings. The other evidence could be your bank statements showing your salary credited.

Congratulations..

You have to fill up Section 3C.

Please go through the Page 30 carefully. It should take you to Section 3C.

Recently i applied for Tier 1(Gen) extension along with 3 dependants. In the Dependants App Form, i did not fill B11 and B12. This is because Home Office gave a reference number previously to the main applicant and not to the dependant. Also, my spouse did not have a work permit and was not in HSMP....

Yes We can pay by cash. I would rather use a debit or credit card to make payments for in-person applications.

Thanks all of You. i have written my experience in the In-Person Applicants thread.

Request to Admins, Can you please make the In-Person Applicants thread a sticky one.

I agree with Chetan. If you are applying within UK, then no need to send No Objection certificate. If you are applying outside uk, i agree you need to have atleast have an rental agreement.

I am not sure if we need to show there is enough space for wife in the house. How would you show this?

Hi All,

Do we require a no objection certificate from landlord or rental agreement for dependent visa?
