Isn't it? :?: Under 28 PhD holder from U...

Thanks for correction. Yes, I must admit you are right. I am still looking for answer of below questions: Is this change sudden or it was announced earlier?

Thanks for prompt reply. I knew that you cant switch while on Tier 5, neither can you extend it after 1 year allowance while in UK. My question was that by being in my home country itself, what will be the scenario if I apply both above-said visas in succession. In other words, I want to apply for ...

No, simply enter the date you got your first visa for UK.... whether Business/WP/HSMP/or any other visa... It has to be the first used to enter UK. Visit visa is non-immigration visa. Section D deals with "Immigration History". It is always entry clearance you first time used to enter. Re...

Thanks Chetanojha. The home office must have been mistaken with this objection because she has no convictions whatsoever. She doesn't even has a diriving license. It seems like identity mismatch. I have got NOC from home country police and asked for PNC from UK police as well. I hope this will be c...

Approval letter? You mean the visa stamped on the passport, right? I did not get any approval letter...

I just received the original copies of my bank statements in the mail and for the 12-month calendar year, its 40 pages. Is it normal to submit such a huge bank statement?

I understand that the way around this is the provision of showing any 12 consecutive months within the last 15...
