Hi Guys and Girls, Need to get married: Yes, I am getting married on 5th December 2009 and travelling out on 27th November 2009. Sent my HSMP to Tier1 G extension on 6th October, Acknowledgment received on 9th October, payment taken on 7th October. Applied for Urgent Treatment on the basis of Weddi...

Applicants sent application to DURHAM which is payment handling branch. Once the payment goes through all PBS applications then go to SHEFFIELD and i think then it goes into queue.

Is there any way to check the status of the process of application? Can I track this using the Reference Number in the Acknowledgement letter? Thanks! There is no way to track accept calling homeoffice but they discourage that and they normally dont tell you anything before 14 weeks have elapsed. S...

BREAKING NEWS:

Postal workers to stage three days of strikes next week, BBC understands

Hi all, I am in UK and my wife is in india and I need to apply for her visa. wat pages of passport shud i send ? Do I need to send any other document regarding my visa? And does the copy have to be attested or notorised ? Please advise. i think non-attested copy of your visa should be fine as they ...

I am in the similar situation as well but i didn't mention anything in the cover letter because i dont want to confuse the worker. What i simply did is highlighted the credit in my bank statements with a highlighter. So lets say they want to check september pay, the case worker simply have to take t...

let us know the outcome as well. As it will help others in the similar situation in future.

have you tried calling them. There are other people here who says that they dont tell you anything before 14 weeks but there is no harm in trying. Some people also put in request for urgency. You can try that using some evidence like wedding invitation card etc. Maybe more experienced members can sa...

I hv applied for Tier 1 general (in UK ) on 28th Aug , fee was deducted on 1 Sep , got reference letter too within 1 week but ever since i havent heard back about my status....Its alrdy close to 2 months....Is there any specific reason ? is there any way i can enquire about my status....my sister m...

Hello guys,

those who are expecting the outcome of their application can receive their post today as well. Although there is strike today, i did get the post.

So dont be dishearted

BIA uses the following website

If you go to earnings page of the point based calculator you will see the link there

I think you should wait more than 3-4 days. I got mine after 6 days and at that time only random delivery offices were doing strikes but there is a national strike tommorow and day after which will disrupt everything. Also bare in mind the reference letter has 2nd class post so it does not have any ...

and yet to receive the reference letter.

dont worry too much it is out of your hands. You should relax as your fee is deducted. If you need to contact them they can always find your application through royal mail reference number. So dont worry

Regarding the total pts. which I have accumulate for annual pay, I don't know if anyone has asked this question before!! If for instance I have my pay ranging between 20k-under 23k for the 1st 6 months (of last 12 months) which would obvioulsy mean 15 pts..& if for the next 6 months my pay is a...

I think you should be happy that you got one. I tried alot but never got any appointment and have to post.

You have plenty of days and you should concentrate on covering everything so that you are sure it will not be declined.

Best of luck

I remmember once i was paying an airline ticket with credit card whose limit was equal to what i had to pay. It got declined. I called the bank to find out whats happening i was told that the airline tried to charge a penny and then refunded just to check card details Although it will not appear on ...

I paid by credit card without any issue. Unfortunately even if you have same bank card it might decline transaction for one while allow it for other person. Banks don't reveal why this is done but it is to do with card using habbits. Where the card was used in past, spending habbits etc. Or i am no...

I think you should sit back and relax now as if you start panicking now and try to send anything more you might actually confuse them more. God forbade if something bad happens you can still get appeal etc and there were many who just resent the documents after the visa has expired and they were sti...

You will probably hear from them this week as they are dealing with all application received on or before 30th September.

Just pray you will get it by tommorow otherwise you will not get it before monday

its a link if you haven't figured it out yet

Is it required for TIER 1 GENERAL as well for example extention case. because i think when i got my hsmp letter it had some kind of work reference number i think

but i haven't given it on the extention form because i didnt know it

They do ask for work permit no in the form but it also says (if known). I think they can find it out from the stamp on the passport anyway.

i personally think you dont have to worry about it. Payslips and bank statements are enough.

Others can confirm this

Hello people, dont worry about it. I have received mine on Saturday. Let me tell you it has a second class postal stamp. Normal delivery of second class post is upto 5 working days but if you live in London, many of the local delivery offices are holding strikes on random days that is why there is a...
