I sent my documents yesterday. Same scenario. Myself + Wife + Kid. I had the same set of documents. Only additional thing was, I had put them all in a file with many sections, numbered 1 to 10 and had a document map stuck to the top of the file as to what is in which section. Eg : Section 1 : Coveri...

I too submitted my application yesterday. by Royal Mail special delivery. Straight forward case : One Company, same salary. Documents sent were, 12 Months Pay slips, Bank statements, and letter from employer 3 months original statements for maintenance + attested Balance History statement on Bank Le...

In this case, only the last statement will be within a month as statements are received monthly.

In the guidance, HO have mentioned that ALL evidence should be within one month and hence my question.

Just wondering, Is it OK to provide monthly statements towards maintenance funds? The HO guidance states: For applications made either in the United Kingdom or overseas, all evidence must be dated no more than one month before the application is submitted. [/b] Does this not mean, we need a single s...

anusha_184 I think you have not got it correctly. The section on dependants on Page 4 reads, Any dependant applications that are submitted at the same time as the main applicant's form will incur a fee of £50 per dependant unless it is for a child aged 18 years or over. This to me means that for Ch...

The HO recommendation is that you need to apply at least 28 days before your current leave to remain expires. This guideline exists only to allow the applicant a chance to re apply before leave expires if the original one is turned down. There is no rule to say have to apply only within the last 28 ...

As far as I am aware, parents cannot get dependant visa, if you are in T1(G). They can get a visitor Visa and visit you for a max period of 6 months / stay. Please ask them to contact the nearest VFS in their home country. The VFS will give them the latest document requirements. Typically, this woul...

Thanks narulade. When did you apply?

Any other success stories with such statements, anyone?

narulade I have got them attested (stamped and signed) by a staff in the branch. I just wanted to check, has anyone submitted similar attested statements from self service kiosk in the past and whether it is enough? to be on safer side i will suggest go to bank ask them to stamp and sigh for you .. ...

Thanks VKS. It is surely not a Mini Statement. It is printed on A4 size and has Barclays and Logo on the top. Just that it is not in color and it is like a computer printout.

I just wanted to check if anyone had submitted this in the past and got approvals.

I agree with Chetan.

I tried for three weeks to get an appointment but no luck. I am going to apply by post this week. My visa expires in Jan 2010.

For straight forward cases, I guess it is easier to send by post. As a bonus, it saves us £200 too.

Good luck to everyone

For the maintenance funds for HSMP to Tier 1 (G) extension, has anyone submitted the statements that you get from the self service kiosk in the Barclays branches? I have got these statements for my ISA account and have also got them attested (stamped and signed) by a staff in the branch. Has anyone ...

I have tried quite a few branches in the city and they all agree to stamp and sign the statement copy that you print from the self servicing machine within the branch. I have got signatures from Cheapside Branch and London Wall branch in the past. Hope this helps. I went to bank yesterday and they a...

It actually depends on the area you live. I have found (in my personal experience and also that of my wife and friends) that a local instructor is often better / cheaper / more accomodating than the chains like BSM, Red etc. I suggest you check your local papers or gumtree etc, if it is relevant to ...

Apologies Duvvuri. I just checked it. Infact I had read it incorrectly. Will double check before I post anything again. Keep this board going as it is very helpful. master_blaster i) Evidence for Maintenance Funds of £533 (if your wife is in the UK for more than 12 months) or £1600 (if she has spe...

If your wife is already in the UK with you and if you are applying for her along with your application, the only additional documents you will need are, i) Evidence for Maintenance Funds of £533 (if your wife is in the UK for more than 12 months) or £1600 (if she has spent less than 12 months in t...

Thanks for the response everyone. I called Home Office this evening and was told the following. J1 Yes J2 No J3 Tier 1 General J4 No Then go to K1 Fill K1, K3 and then go to L. This made sense after they explained. The confusion is after J4. The note go to K1 applies to the whole of J4 and not just ...

Sorry, I am still confused. I will explain in detail. Question J5 on Page 29 of the dependant application is J5. Is the main applicant making an application as An Intial (switching) application - Go to question K2 An extension of his / her existing leave - Go to section L A result of change of emplo...

Thanks VFS.

I think only the Yes part in J4 directs to K1. My answer to J4 would be No. Hence I need to answer J5.

Will be helpful if someone who has filled this recently clarifies.

As long as your wife's name in your marriage certificate matches that in her passport, you should be fine.

I have a doubt on question J5 of the Dependant application (Page 29). I am currently in HSMP and need to get Further leave to remain on Tier 1 General for myself and two dependants. For question J5, am I correct to think, I need to tick the second option, An extension of his / her existing leave? It...

It is strange to see most of the newbies thinking about ILR right on the first week / month. Though it is good to keep it in mind, I am afraid all answers to your question could only be given on the current rules. No one can predict how rules will change in 5 years and your case will only be dealt w...

When you apply for ILR, (as per the current rules) you can apply 28 days before your leave expires, so you should be fine.

In my opinion, though it is good to consider ILR on your initial travel, I would not worry too much as it would all depend on the immigration rules in Nov 2014.
