Please help! I've just come back from holiday to find out that Tier 1 (General) rules have changed from April 2010 and I no longer qualify because of the new earnings calculation system. It's not much consolation, but were these changes discussed or announced anywhere before 18 March when a notice ...

Hi, From the UKBA website i understand that for tier 1 General the visa fees if 650 pounds which can be be paid in local currency.The exchange rate pegged by UK embassy in India is 1 GBP=75INR (Revides on 4th March 2009 ) making the current indian equivalent to 51400 rupees. The issue is that after...

hi As I am applying for Tier 1 Visa. My employer is not able to provide me letter of employment for next 2 weks due to some official reasons (approvals etc required - I know lame HR policies). Although I have already got my salary slips signed and stamped from my employer. Since I don't want to wait...

Thanks r007, but from thread http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=341982&sid=3c71a97e46b4c916cd64ba1845f65b8f it seems both tier1 and tier2 are valid. I am confused due to difference in responses from UKBA in UK and UKHC in India. Can some senior member comment on this? Thanks. Alth...

Seniors can you please go through my query and advise? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Tier 2 is Valid. Your countdown will start from that day when applying for ILR.

You should have told HR that you are applying for a loan.... its not always good to be honest :wink: And then they reach us in school.... Honesty is the best policy. Also I have electronic payslips being stamped & signed by employer. I hope that will suffice criteria (without having letter of e...

The policy suggest that 90 days outside country has to be in last 12 months which I believe is 5th year rather than 1st year of entering UK.

Seniors please clarify?

Is there any source confirming this or if anyone has experienced in the past for those who are applying WP from outside UK and already have Tier 1 Visa.

The case if the employer want to get this WP done since people travelling to UK on WP get some tax benefits.

I have worked with big names in UK. Believe me 95% of middle and top management positions are held by locals. There are 5% which you can see divided amongst european, chinese,carrebeans and some by Indians of which again 90% are people from Indian companies who are executing managed projects in UK ...

npanglia, With an MBA + Six Sigma + PMP, I would say you are better off in India th an UK. Here large businesses are less and its really tough to get management roles despite of your qualification and experience. Local Brit guys are preferred in most of the mgmt jobs irrespective of sector/domain -...

Hi I approached the HR department of my organization to issue me "Employee Letter" and told them I need to apply for personal visa. They informed me that they cannot provide this if you are trying for work visa. Please let me know if it is fine to not to produce such letter. However I have...

That too at the current exchange rate of 68 Rs per 1 GBP, which is likely to go up in future.

Hi As we go through the guidance notes, it clearly mention that only send the documents mentioned in the guidance notes. Seniors - Please advise, how good is it to ignore that and send additional documents which are not mentioned in guidance notes? Won't it piss off the caseworker for sending so man...

It could happen anytime... may be tomm... or may not change for next few months. Anybody else commenting about this is redundant till communication from UKBA. But yes, it will change for countries and not sure how much it will change.. The mantra could be: Apply when you qualify, than waiting for ch...

Hi Me and my dependent (wife) are applying for tier 1 general visa (initial applicant). I am planning to enter within 28 days of getting the visa to avoid second extension of tier 1 visa and qualify for ILR. My query is if my dependent can enter after 28 days of getting the visa, will she need to ge...

Hi If one applies initial application for himself and his dependents, and fails... it will make all applications rejected rite ? so is it advisable to make dependent's application along with main applicant's application ? how do people generally go in such cases ? as if all applications are rejecte...

I visited their branch and they issue me another statement, the format of which is pathetic (Print out getting out of page area, No A/c No. & name on each page of statement) and worst is they informed this is the best they can do. Kudos to ICICI Bank. ANyways I contacted customer care and reques...

Or as an alternative you can also call the phone banking and place this request. They'll reach your communication address in 3/4 days (although they say it takes 7 days) I spoke to them over the phone... and have advised if I need it urgently I should contact branch manager and they should print th...
