I have done it myself and it got the visa. theres a good template in the sticky, I modified a bit myself but it works well as it is as well.

I entered 1.5 years late on my visa, no questions were asked at immigration.
possible justication for you could its due to personal and family issues that I had to stay. other reasons may include, Child birth, marriage, bought new house, new job etc.

Surely the employers could provide you the gross salary that you're employed on? If they still cant provide it, ask them to mention the reasons why they cannot mention the gross salary or payment breakdown for months that you were paid. And wouldnt the UKBA be able to corss reference the amount from...

If everything as mentioned by other users above does not work out, then I would advise you to get registered as self employed, find some one in your friends circle who operates through a limited company and ask them to pay out the shortfall. Produce a supporting invoice and bank account for that ent...

He can enter to UK, just say due to economic conditions or personal circumstances. A common question is to enquire about a place to live while in the UK.

Under the current rules, there's no limit on the number of Tier 1 extensions

Finding another source of income is the only option. Now whether you operate it as sole trader or limited company is a next step to be decided. As matthew said, you could do freelancing, you could work on weekends and extra hours to earn that cash. The bottom line is everything you do must be proved...

Try walking in your bank and ask for statements for that period. Banks keep record for atleast 6 years. If they can't do it, ask your previous employer to print duplicate salary slips You can also try contacting your previous agent to request a duplicate of rental agreement. They will charge you som...

No need to obtain a letter for contacting period from the agency. You can just include the Invoices for that 4 month period. Mention the contact relevant details in that Agency.
Should be fine.

I also agree with mulderpf, there is no reason for immigration office to stop you. I myself travelled back to UK after a 18 months break in India. Immigration officer did not ask any questions to me.

I Work in Waterloo as well. I live near Pudding mill lane station, which is very close to both Jubilee and central Line. Takes about 40 mins door door for me.

Guidance notes states If £16,000 or more of the previous earnings for which points are claimed were earned in the UK, then 5 points If so, what document do i need to show with my a...

Well, even though the policy says that HO will only extend the leave when a decision is made, my wife recently applied for her Tier 1 extension and she got her visa stamped from Dec 2011 (her visa expiry date). We applied for an extension on 4th oct, 2011. But in principle, consider that HO will pro...

No harm in sending the affidavit again with this application as well. You could mention the same in cover letter

I believe UKBA allows earnings to be shown from multiple sources. I did it too, but that were from same employer. You could show earnings from multiple employers (sources) but whether you can work for any other employer (in UK or elsewhere) would be governed by your employment conditions of your UK ...

kotha_001, I applied my first tier 1 application using such agency. They charged me as much as the application fees. My case was a bit complicated, maintanence funds in multiple accounts, salaries from different sources, different countries, so had a lot of work to do to present my case. If your cas...

though not required. would be helpful to include to include balance sheet and profit and loss account of the company. Home office just wants to know whether the dividend claimed have been actually earned and the applicant is elgible for them. On the invoices, I am planning to include them, by no mea...

I have Lived in Milton Keynes for 3 years. Its a nice green city, nice people. The commute through trains is 35 mins through Virgin trains to euston. But bear in mind that the monthly travel pass costs around 450 GBP. obviously if you go closer to london, it will be cheaper. Other places on that lin...

Thank you very much for your reply. much appreciated. I guess what you are saying from below, that once my wife gets an ILR in dec 2012, I apply for a UK spouse visa (granted for 2 years) and be eligible for ILR in Dec 2014? Or you can get ILR in Dec 2014 if you don't go back to India. When your wif...
