Also, I am surprised that they refused your bank statement. I was always under the impression that being on original letterhead, such statements did not require stamps/signatures?
So, you get a high net salary because you are taxed very lightly, rather than because your gross is as high as 50,000? If yes, I don't think you can just "extrapolate" your net monthly earnings to what a hypothetical UK person would earn, if they were to pay full taxes on their income. You...
You are not allowed to work to full time on tier1 visa. You have to apply for tier4 visa to study fulltime URGENT I am planning to study a full time course alongside my full time work. It requires two full [week] days attendance. My annual pay, which qualified me for Tier 1, remains the same. Also,...
I know for a fact that Tier 1 dependents can study (I got this confirmation in writing, both from HO and the UK Embassy). The University also did not require the dependent to obtain Tier 4 visa, Tier 1 dependent was enough. I would assume the same applies to main Tier 1 visa holder. The only possibl...
You did not read it very carefully, did you? 'Extension applications will be subject to the same points table as above [the new table], but with small differences to the points awarded for age and UK experience, as at present.' This clearly applies to the new extension applicants, ie those who apply...
Why do you link this issue to your ILR application? I just checked the documents required to submit with the application, and see no place where it says anything about Council tax? She is WP Dependant. Please advice ? As far as I know, WP dependant should pay the council tax. Contact your council an...
Sorry, I missed that you already answered this question in your OP. Looks like you need to contact a lawyer. I don't see a how a degree being older than 5 years can be a reason for not awarding education points. Did you claim points for UK experience, based on your UK degree? How many points in tota...
Did you claim points for UK experience, based on your UK degree? How many points in total did you claim? Is there any difference? The exact words are: This has been assessed correctly by the ECO. The UK qualification was obtained more than 5 years prior to the receipt of this visa application and th...
I agree with you, but still there are hints about the future. For example, currently those extending their stay can claim points for earnings starting from 16,000 pounds, while the new applicants can't do this. best thing is to chill out and just go with the flow. No one can ever predict the future....
Another reason to do it now is that when it comes to extension time, the new (much tougher) rules are likely to apply to the new applicants only. Who can be certain they will be earning 60-65 K in 2 years' time? eitherway, i hate the pressure, and i could have sit the IELTS exam last month, but i wa...
Still you have 35 points for earnings. It's your call, of course. Just be mindful of very bad labor market conditions here, and the propensity of the HO to make the rules extremely unpredictable. its 80 points total with master's degree (35) and 28 years old (10) (+20 for english and maintenance fun...
It seems to me that your salary, for the country you live in, is very high (otherwise you wouldn't make 80 points). Unless you have great job prospects in the UK, maybe you should think very carefully whether it makes economic sense for you to move there. Indeed it is still unofficial, with the numb...
I don't think so. The proposed rules for new applicants will be considerably tougher. If they apply to all those already in the country, very few will qualify for extension. Therefore, as far as I remember, the panel specifically recommended not to apply the new rules for extension to those who arri...
I think your question is really unusual, and before taking some answers on this forum for granted, you should really follow-up with the HO. Also, keep in mind that the immigration rules keep changing, and what is right today may be wrong tomorrow. Also, like some others have said, I would think twic...
Thank you for your response. I saw this site before; what I found a bit confusing, though, is this part: ******************************** Who needs to complete a tax return? You’ve lived or worked abroad or aren’t domiciled in the UK You may need to complete a tax return if you're: * not residen...
Perhaps this question has already been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer here. I am a Tier 1 holder, arrived in the UK in September 2009, and started working in November 2009. I pay taxes through PAYE system through my employer. Do I have to file tax return? If yes, can I do it online? Is ...
Please check as i have read that you are not allowed to STUDY on tier 1. you have to convert to student visa. Remember Tier 1 is not PR. So i would play it safe and make sure with seniors and other forums I am a 100% positive that dependants of tier 1 holders can study (not sure about tier 1 holder...
Hi members, I read on workpermit.com that Govt is thinking to make tier 1 easy to qualify for bachelor degree holders with good salary If suggested changes are implemented, it would indeed be possible to qualify for a person with only a bachelor's degree. I would not call this process particularly ...
I encountered a very confusing matter in UKBA site about extending Tier 1 General: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/applying/extendingyourstay/ according to that for extension you should have a visa which does not prohibit from working as a doctor in training!!!!!!!!!!...
From the FT http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/58786cea-e076-11de-8494-00144feab49a.html Do you think the new rule will affect to only people who firstly enter into the UK to look for jobs? Those who have already stayed in the UK are exempted from this new rule, Right??? This recommendation seems to apply t...

As I said in another post: Just to be clear, when people discuss this proposed bill, it is my impression that they assume that all 5 tier visa categories will somehow be abolished, and one single category replacing them will be created. As a matter of fact, this is not the case. As can be seen from ...
