OP dont panick! you will be FINE!

I know the feeling when applying for visa, this paranoid feeling that you have missed something or you need to double proof something:)

YOu are not tlegally obliged to do anything. Yu proided them with legitimate methods of payment for X amount they provided you with the visa. Whether they take the payment and when they take the payment its not your competency, i.e. not your problem.

OP your ILR clock may re-set if your T1 is rejected and your company subsequently applies for Tier 2. However, there are ways around it, so the lawyer will be of help If you decided to apply T1 in time then best of luck to you, jsut get the foreign statement asap. It might be a good idea to attach a...

OP i understand you are worried, hope your situation will resolve soon. consider following: 1. if you apply in-time and send the original overseas statements later to UKBA, CW may or may not consider this. so its 50/50 chance. appeals under current rules does not allow you to submit new evidence, so...

originals or copies stamped by bank or on headed paper. I was told by Barclays that they cant issue me the originals again. HSBC does something similar, except they will refuse stamping or signing statements. The statements don't look much like the originals and mine were accepted. what a relief, t...

HSBC in the UK categorically will NOT stamp bank statements, so I don't understand why your caseworker asked you to get stamped bank statements. It's also definitely not a requirement for the bank to stamp statements, this is only the case for online accounts where you produce your own printouts. I...

As quantum1 suggests, I too have been unable to find an explicit UKBA reference which states that you cannot make an out-of-time PEO application. However I have seen a post or two on this forum, where an applicant was turned away at a PEO, when they attempted to make an out-of-time application in-p...

if i understand correctly you are short on funds even if you apply on the last day you visa expires, so you most likely will be rejected on this criteria at PEO with the right to appeal, which is not going to be be helpful as you cant submit any new pieces of evidence during the appeal and you will...

if your bank could give you stamped statements in the branch then surely they wont have any trouble stamping all the pages so get all pages stamped for peace of mind 8) THank you . just did that. returned to the bank and asked them to stmap all the back pages as well. luckily i wasnt asked by CW to...

as long as they are stamped on headed paper it should be fine, cant really do more now can we?! except for drawing heart shaped structures expressing love in true V-day spirit :lol: Thanks, im so mad id rather draw some devil faces on the statements, im going mental with all the application process...

Applied by post

Hey guys, I have applied for T1 Extension in January by post. I just received V day "gift" from UKBA, i.e. email from caseworker stating that the bank statements I submitted with my application are NOT original and he asked me to send originals or copies stamped by the bank. The bank st-ts...

and yes, you urgently need to speak to a good lawyer as you dont have time and finding a suitable lawyer may take time d)does going to PEO with an in-time application help my cause in anyway? if i understand correctly you are short on funds even if you apply on the last day you visa expires, so you...

CodeCruiser, I understand your frustration, but of you picked up a few cases which may be an exclusions to he general trend as at the moment its 5-6 months wait according to UKBA official web-site. please refer to UKBA tier processing times.

im sure you will receving it soon, good luck

hi cs95tdg - i hv sent you a private message..plz respond as soon as you can. But if I've understood you correctly, you appear to be asking whether manipulating the system, to accomodate your maintenance fund requirement is alright. If it's my opinion you're asking for, I'd have to say No. What I w...

Hi, I am going to print the Tier 1 general extension application form. was just curious to know if we need to print single sided or double sided? I dont remember how i did it last time :( Please advise. I always admire technical queries like this like when posters are asking whether to use single o...

@ mulderpf Thanks for reply. I have spoken to one of OISC Representative and he said that he can give in writing that it's not going to affect my visa extension or ILR but I am reluctant to take that route. If i were you i would fire OISC Rep like this and go with another one. Any reasonable man un...

Any recommendation, shall I consider delaying? make sure you resign from your current job before putting in a out-of-time application why is this important ? who checks this ? in any case PEO will ask you to post your out of time application how sure are you ? has it happened to you or anyone you k...

in case it is true what happens for ppl who cant get an appointment and want to apply in PEO for reasons that they want to go abraod or something ? and where does it say they cant apply at a PEO ? what happens if I go to PEO with a late application? thanks in advance for your input People are aware...

Hi, Just a quick one, I got visa appointment tommorow. Is it fine to show bank statements for 1 Nov 2012 to 1 Feb 2013. I dont have the recent bank statements. Is it fine to show the statements before 12 days. thanks as soon as they within one month form the date of application its all fine. good l...

Hi cs95tdg, thanks for the reply.yes.I am working and would like to work during the period. so is there a way out for me from this ? (I am only 1 day short of maintenace,everything else is perfect) plz advice. thanks. Unfortunately, there is no "right" course of action here, if you apply ...

Im sure they accept the electronically filled forms as soon as it bears your orginal signatures where required.

The other question is...why bother? unless some psysical disability prevents you from hand-writing?

Has anyone in the forum done 3rd/4th extension already?

I havent done it, but i know someone who did 3rd extension as he was a few months short to apply fro ILR. Subsequnt extension are done rarely because people tend to apply for ILR after 2nd extension.

Guys, i m sure this question have been discussed already, but just wanted to know your thoughts on the follwoung:

Do you think government will cut the link between Tier1 and ILR at some point? I know there are have been some discussions about this but I cant find much information on that.

Hello, Last year I got the extension to my tier 1 visa for two more years. In December, I got married (only the civil wedding) in my home country (Venezuela). When I came back to the UK two weeks ago, I sent a copy of my marriage certificate (with official translation) along with copies from my pas...
