Hi... I have been working in the UK for the last 3 months now. I am applying for the dependant visa for my wife. For the maintenance requirements, the UKBA website mentions: "If the main applicant under the post-study worker category is outside the United Kingdom or has been in the United Kingd...
Hi... I am applying for a Tier1 dependent visa for my wife. We are currently in the US and it is impossible for us to get the marriage certificate from India without being physically present there. Is there any other document which can be submitted in lieu of a marriage certificate. (even our passpo...
Hi... I got my tier 1 (general) visa last week and now I am planning to apply for a dependent visa for my wife. My visa is valid from May 1, 2010 and that is when we both intend to travel to the UK. I have done a lot of reading about the requirements for my wife's dependent visa but I am totally con...

Thanks vks... I believe that irrespective of the fact that I have applied in the US, queries about my Indian background will be forwarded to Integra in which case it should not be a problem. Kind Regards, Hi... I have applied for my Tier 1 visa at the British Consulate in Los Angeles, USA. I have pr...
As I interpret it, you should be able to apply from inside the UK. The clause clearly says that you cannot apply from inside the UK if your current UK visa expires more than 1 month in advance of the date when you course starts. As you have said that your visa expires in April and your course also s...
Hi... I have applied for my Tier 1 visa at the British Consulate in Los Angeles, USA. I have provided the contact details of my previous employer in India. I was wondering how the consulate makes inquiries from the employer, if needed. Because I am not very confident that my employer will respond qu...
I have applied recently just for my self without the marriage cirtificate.
and i specifically asked the VFS staff while submitting.
They say it is not mandatory since i was applying alone but good to have one.
Thanks for your reply... I was myself thinking that I should not be required to submit the marriage certificate if applying for myself. But when I downloaded the checklist (on the last page of this link - http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/docs/1903073/vaf9), it clearly says that unless you are ...
Hi... My country of residence is US and I am making my Tier-1 General application from the US. I recently got married (last week) in India and moved back to US immediately. I am applying only for myself right now and not for my wife. However, if I am married and even if my wife is not accompanying m...

Hi... I am really confused about maintenance funds. Do I have to show maintenance funds in one single account or can they be split between 2 different accounts? I have an account in UK which consistently has 1500GBP in the past 3 months. For the rest 1300GBP, I want to use my account in India. Is th...
Hi... I have been a student since Aug'09 and am going to apply for Tier 1 visa. I understand that we cannot show earnings earlier than 15 months preceding the application. I was under the impression that since I am a student since Aug, I can take 15 months preceding Aug'09. However, I read through t...
Hi... I have the required maintenance funds in my account. Is it possible that I pay my visa fee using the same account? Or should the maintenance funds be held separately? Another question is about UK experience. I worked in UK for an internship (on company sponsored visa) for 3 months. I am not cl...
I am going to apply for Tier 1 visa. My home country is India. But I am in the US since August 09 for education. I am wondering where I should apply from. Applications from the US are online while those from India I think are through VFS.
Hi Guru, Thanks for your response. I understand that I will use my MBA for visa application. However, do you think that I would need to explain in my cover letter that why I am applying for Tier 1 visa when my degree date is still 4 years away. Can it bear a wrong impression on my application that I...
Hi... I am planning to apply for Tier 1 visa and am currently a Ph.D. student in the US. I am really scared that my current student status might impact my ability to obtain the visa as my official degree date is in 2013. However, I do have the required points (from earnings and previous MBA) which q...
