I am planning to apply by 02-Dec-2013. By reading the guidance more times I am thoroughly getting confused. Which rules should I be using to assess the attributes section? Based on the some of the info from other posts, since the second extension of 3+2 turned out to be 3 years, it was interpreted t...

Dear members, I am currently trying to gather evidence for applying for extending my Tier-1 General Visa (second extension) along with my wife. In this context, I read the Immigration rules which mentioned about subsisting relationship. I was hoping to provide wedding card + 6-7 Wedding Photo's + ma...

So in your case this will be "in-place before 6th April 2010".

I hope this will help.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Hi,

All the channels of communications are inaccessible. I tried the phone, it keeps ringing for eternity. Try writing by post, I am sure they might respond.

Dear members, I applied for tier-1 extension on 13th Jan 2012. The application was delivered on the 16th. The payment was deducted on the 19th Jan 2012 after which there is stunned silence. I have not received acknowledgment or biometric letter till today. I called up the UKBA several times and mana...

Hi their , yes they used to take calls about the status of application couple months before, but not at the moment , im in the same position desperate to contact them , but donno which way really, one of my friend suggested me to fax but, no idea whether it will work or not? Oh, is it? It is like s...

Tier-1 can be extended as long as you are not eligible for permanent residency (PR or ILR)

I think the hardest thing is to contact UKBA especially if the application is made within 6 months. I tried emailing about the acknowlegment and got a immediate auto reply containing stating that no further communication will be received. I called up the contact number and select the option 2 as giv...

The customer care executive from the Bank said these statements should be fine. They said they have been giving these to everyone and so far there has been no problem.

Any member experiences? Kindly share the same.

Hi all, Has anyone tried booking online in UKBA website. I tried to check for a wide range of dates 01 Dec 2011 to 1 Jan 2012. Everytime I tried the website, it was throwing up a technical error.

Hi everyone, This forum has been very useful to me for my visa purpose. Thanks. I have a query regarding the age assessment in Tier-1 General extension.

It may affect ILR AFAIK.

Yes it is possible to study but it might be a problem when you seek extension as there would be no income to support the extension application. There was thread similar to this. Reading it will help you. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=55570&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highligh...

Then how come they are asking for income tax documents. Do I have to show the tax deduction in my pay slip then? DOES HO really emphasize on tax? All that HO needs are proof from two sources that the earnings were real. Payslip,Income tax document from employer(which is used for filing returns), sa...

HO is concerned with your Gross earnings and net earnings. Income tax is not their ambit.

I was just checking the Tier-1 guidance. There is no requirement of such a letter. In case the PBS calculator recognizes the degree, the points are awarded and the original degree certificate is taken as the proof.
