Hi amuk any news? Did they accept your application. Well - yes, they did. They had no problem that I'm submitting T1. Their problem was that the date on the printed copy of my online application was December 14th and is therefore expired. (PS: that was when I first started my application and kept s...

Applying tomorrow. Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

amuk, Were you able to submit your documents? Did they accept your application? I will know that on Wednesday! On the website where I schedule appointments, it has a clear note that says: From the 23 December 2010 the UK Border Agency will no longer be accepting Tier 1 (General) visa applications u...

Hi all, I paid for my application online and I'm submitting my documents and biometrics on Wednesday. I am a freelancer, and I work mainly with three clients. I issue them invoices and get paid via bank transfer. I am not running a company. I'm providing the following: - Bank statements - Chartered ...

Some developments thought I'd share: 1. I just amended the letter with the account number. Hopefully, this will be sufficient. 2. Additionally, I requested another letter from another bank for a 'money market fund'. The letter does not mention that it is a money market fund and does have all require...

Thanks, mulderpf!

So, should I provide a breakdown of expenses even though this is only a "Letter from accountant confirming earnings"?

It's not a company (i.e. no P/L or BS) and I have very little expenses.

Hello all, (paid online on Dec. 22 from outside of the UK - submitting documents this week) I'm a freelancer/contractor who does not work via a company structure. My expenses are negligible. I only pay for my Internet connection and a dedicated host. In the Accountant Letter, 1. Should it give detai...

Thank you, rizwan567 - appreciate your reply.

Thoughts anyone? Thank you.

I don't see why it would have any effect.

But, what I know is that former PM Tony Blair had no problem visiting Libya -- and perhaps working as an adviser for the Libyan president.

Congrats on the new job.

Hi all, Paid online from outside of UK for T1-G. For self-employment activities (most of my earnings), I'll be using the following: - Accountant Letter, and - Bank Statement In T1 guidance, it says: Where an applicant is submitting a combination of bank statements and a letter/invoice summary from t...

Sorry to hear about your application refusal. I'm in a similar position but I'm yet to apply. Could you please post what the refusal letter says? According to this: The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show: * your name; * the account number; * the date of the statement; *...

Yes, I made it clear I paid online before Dec 23rd. But the immigration officer insisted that documents and biometrics should also be submitted before Dec 23rd. I couldnt find any way to contact UK embassy. Every query raised should go through worldbridge. They forward it to UK embassy in Dublin. I...

That is re-assuring. Thank you very much, push and rizwan567.

Hi amuk I applied from Republic of Ireland. They didnt accept my documents though I paid fee on Dec 21st and submitted online application also on Dec 21st. This is very unsettling news because Ireland does have payments online. (as shown here ) The only difference between where I'm applying from an...

However, it's now morning of 7-Jan and I haven't received a mail saying they have begun reviewing my application. Is that how we get notified of the status of our application - via them sending me email updates? Patience. =) I don't know how long it should take but it's still Jan 6th there. 1-2 day...

That can't be true. I have verified this from two sources: (1) Mr. Richard Jackson (Immigration Policy, UKBA) whose name was on the UKBA statement, and (2) the customer service representative on WorldBridge. I am not applying from India or Pakistan. Could you please share with us where you're applyi...

If it's effective October 12th, then I'm afraid the application will likely be rejected. However, I read _somewhere_ that you can add further documentation to your application BEFORE it is being processed. (I have no reference at hand and it's best to verify that with a senior) Edit: meanwhile, call...

Thoughts anyone? Much appreciated.

As always, many thanks sushdmehta! 1. No, because it is earnings for a month (Sep '09) outside the 12-months window you are using. It is for work done in September. But, the payment was made on October 28th -- one lump sum of two months' salary. I can exclude it (no problem), but I'm afraid it'd mak...

Hello all, I paid online from outside of the UK on December 22, 2010 and will claim earnings for the period of 25 October, 2009 to 24 October, 2010 . During the period of July to December 2009, I worked as a full-time employee of a local company. Gross monthly salary was fixed but payments dates and...

I'll be visiting the bank tomorrow to collect these documents and will report back here! Thank you for your patience. I would really appreciate your inputs! I just got the following: (again, paid online on 22 December, 2010 ) 1. Monochrome, printed statement from 1 Aug, 2010 to 4 Jan. 2011 with a b...

Many, many thanks for your valuable inputs and apologies for the late reply. @push: Yes, I applied online on December 22nd from outside of the UK. Suggest you get a letter from the Bank to say that the funds in the last three months remained above the min required amount at all times. If the above i...

You would need copies of invoices issued against all the payments credited into yoru bank account. The invoice should have contact details of your clients . Rizwan, could you please refer me to where it says so? I thought this was required only for letters or such; e.g. "letter from employer&q...

Totally agree. But I haven't submitted supporting evidence yet. =)

My appointment is set for the 9th of January where I'll submit biometric and supporting evidence.
