Hi Rachna, I've been following your rejection posts with disappointment and have also suffered from a refusal. My refusal is based on previous earnings not being supported "sufficiently" although in my opinion I've provided sufficien documents. It's all a mess and complete waste of time an...
I had reapplied on 11th October instead of appealing. My employer wrote both the invitation and sponsorship letters and mention specifically that my trip and presence is required for business purpose.
Hi Mate, I would suggest that you clearly explain each previous refusal reason and your clarification. A cover letter explaining both rejection will surely help but they will have their notes to refer to anyhow. I don't think that past rejections should have any bearing on your Tier 1 application as...
Please can you elaborate on how to contact the ECM? If this is possible and done quickly then I would like to explore this venue rather than reapplying.
Hi Vinny, Thanks but what's the time frame we're looking at for ECM to review and reply? If they're likely to take two weeks or longer than I mine as apply for a fresh application detailing the previous mistake they've made and ask for approval of the new application. Does anyone have any experience...
Hi Mate, Really sorry to hear about your case but have faith that there's always a way out. I would suggest that you visit the embassy of your originating country and secure a new passport. You may (should) have the old passport with you still? See advise of immigration lawyer and establishe that si...
Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback and I dont' want to appeal as this process takes much longer to settle. The project I'm handling requires my presence in the UK immediately hence I'm going to reapply for the visa tomorrow morning. Vinny, you've mentioned to ask the Entry Clearance Manager for a reco...
I've been to the UK via my employer on numerous occasions in the past and have always abided by all rules and always returned to home country where I'm based. My recent application was rejected due to a complete f*** up by the ECO. My employer had submitted a sponsorship letter detailing the reasons...
NOOOOOOO Read thru this forum and you will come across numerous people who's perforated bank statments, although stamped and signed, have been rejected by the case worker. Pay a visit to your bank and DEMAND for statements on letterhead ONLY. You can also ask them for a certificate of minimum sum ma...
Hello mates, I have been able to find the following as duidelines to ECO but it's from the HSMP days. Would anyone have the link or info to the following two points for Tier 1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to understand the guidelines for ECO for the following two topics specificall...
Hi, I have faced a rejection to Tier 1 due to proof of income not being specific enough and not from accountant. The best thing to do is to print off the list of documents/proof you require as Self employed/ sole trader, and approach your accountant or seek counsel from a good accountant and ask the...
Really unfortunate but it's not end of the world. Approach your bank manager with legal proof of them having to provide you your bank statements on their official letterhead. Pay for these if you have to. 2nd option is register for online statements, print these off and have them stamped and signed ...
Hi, You need to maintain funds in your account for 90 days prior to the date of your application. So, operative period from 10th Sept 10 10h Dec bank statments would be perfectly fine. Please, please, please, be sure to have your bank statements on official letter head, stamped and signed. Many bank...
As long as your IELTS is within 2 years on the date of your application, then you're cool. for all dates related calculations, your date of application mattes and not when your applicatin is reviewed by ECO.
Hi Sudhdmehta, As mentioned in my earlier post, I've already filed the AR and now patiently waiting for an outcome. I know it's hard to guess what's going to happen but I wanted to get your opinion as to my question above. Please mate, can you comment if the reviewing officer will consider my earnin...
Looks like you're s... out of luck. Nothing much to do mate. Originals are a must. You could try and see if Naric would grade your cert but doubt it since the "college is closed".
You could, try and get further qualification from a college that isn't going out of business..
No probs mate, Thanks for the clarification. Please can you still clarifiy the following: 1) Are the 5 sources of evidence appropriate for Self Emplyed? (I now know that exactly should have been but too late for that now) 2) I claimed 80 points but if 45 points are evidenced via tax returns, audit r...
Hi Sushdmehta, Not clear is f.y 2009-2010 falls out of the 15 months when my application filed in August 2010 as June 2009 to March 2010 (10 months) do fall within the 15 months period. My submission is that the June 209 to March is within 15 months period and these 10 months have been evidence via:...
Dear Sushdmehta: I have sent my AR noting the following: What are your thoughts? GV51 comment Para 4: As you have not shown two independent sources of evidence to demonstrate your claimed previous earnings, you have therefore been awarded 0 points. My reply: I wish to submit that the following indep...
Hi mate, The only thing I would want to be extra careful about is instead of having perforated bank statements, get it on their official letter head and signed and stamped. I know these lazy buggers at the bank will not yield to this request easily but they have to. I also bank with ICICI and they r...
The period to claim for earnings is the actual month or time during which yor worked and not when the salary or payment was made. So you need to count the dates of earnings from the day you started working not not worry about when the payment was made.
Hi SushdMehta, One more question on the same topic please. Is it worth applying for AR still as the financial year in my IT returns did cover 10 months which does allow me to gain 45 points. Would it be worth asking the ECO to consider the 10 months and grant me 45 points instead of the 80 points or...
Thanks SushdMehta, Your input, as always, is very valuable. Thanks a ton mate.

Two cheques, two deposits - then why the mismatch? The payemnts are...
