Dear forum members, I have a confusion regarding questions J1/J2 of the Tier 1 General dependant extension application form (ver 04/12). The heading J says - any previous addresses lived within last 5 years, while J1 says - have you lived at any other address in the UK within the past 5 years? Conf...
I posted a letter informing mistake in awarding points to the address on the top right corner of the approval letter, which is UKBA, PO Box - 3468, Sheffield, S3 8WA. Hopefully I will get reply in next 1 or 2 months
Stop whining folks ! You have your extensions approved and that's what matters. As long as people does not suffer because of this issue then it is acceptable upto some extent. But what if someone extension is denied because of this? In future, if UKBA consider extension points as benchmark during I...
I just noticed that in the approval letter 1st page where they have addressed me, with my home address, they have entered my building name as something different as in, the flat number, road, location and post code are all correct, but the building name is entirely different and is another building...
Same mistake is done with age points for me as well for extension approved on 19 May. I attached initial letter approval with my application. I have written back to UKBA pointing this mistake for correcting their record. Even with incorrect points, I exceed the minimum points required. I hope that t...
Sorry Guys, then I didn't know that any change of address, we need to notify UKBA. Now the situation is - my appointment is on 26th June and visa expiring on 23rd July. Can I then fill the form and send to sheffield? Is it now late or it is okay to send it now? Two changes I need to mention. a) I h...

Good luck with your hopes! 45. We encourage applications to be made at least a month before the applicant’s extant (still existing) leave expires. Applicants should note however that if the application is made significantly earlier than one month before the expiry of their leave, there is a risk of...

Docs received - 22 May (dated 19 May) Biometric provided - 14 April with 2 dependents at PO Biometric letter received...
I gave my biometric with 2 dependents on 14 April at PO and still waiting. My all earnings are from salaried employment from two employers. One for March 11 only and other from April 11 to Feb 12, salary paid monthly.
As each day passes the wait is more and more irritating... I remember renewing my passport in India in local passport office and also even here in London (in a week). They have a very basic site that they have developed is where you enter Application ref no, date of birth and they give one word/one...
I want to bring your attention to my personal experience and convinced it is not that bad at UKBA as most of people are commenting here. I initially got biometric letter in February but because of rush at Croydon and my inability to go with my dependants to faraway PEO like Derby and Liverpool,etc ...
okay, they are saying my net income includes travelling expenses and subsistance allowance, which means my gross income doesnt include it. so I can claim the gross income they have mentioned, it as it doesnt include the non taxable part,isnt it? Its all so confusing. In your salary slip, they might...

It's a little bit on a high end of what I had expected but might be worth it. if you know a good attorney you can recommend pls PM me. Thanks for the info If you meet all requirements and in salaried employment then solicitor fee will be like a gift to him/her or basically free money. One can easil...
It looks like some people who gave biometrics on 21st and 23rd March have received their Docs and BRPs... It can't be just an isolated case... Perhaps, the UKBA is too busy dealing with our applications that they dont have time to update their processing timelines date on their website. See evidenc...
Has ANYONE been successful with this visa? How long did it take you?? My application and my passport have been gone almost three months now!! Probably you are the first one asking for this here. In last quarter of last year, number of visa approved were in single digit. If total number of visa cros...
Hi, My friend has applied for this Tier 1 General extension. He has received his letter for biometric registeration at nearest post office. Since he is away on a project and possible wouldn't be able to get time to get his Biometric registered using post office, so he has booked a PEO appointment. ...
We keep cribbing about Indian Passport services, gosh.. this from a world leader is appalling! you take money for the processes not do it for free. And we pay taxes and NI too... In my case they only took part payment and till now no one knows what's caused the blockage. Indian passport renewal is ...
UKBA has been collecting premium fees for same day application, only for them to start treating those application as postal. They have collected premium service fees and has not been giving decision on same day. Can they please refund our money or treat those application as matter of urgency. Let u...
Hi All, About 3 years now since I wrote that comment. Yesterday I got my ILR approved. This time I had gone personally thru PEO but my original documents were intact and I got them back. UKBA will increase fees by £500 from tomorrow onwards, but still worth paying £500 extra then losing ur original...
Hi, I am planning to apply for MSc - Computer Science in UK. Can you please let me know about the post study work conditions in UK. Are companies willing to sponsor international students for jobs ? What will be the effect of the new VISA rules which will come into effect from 6 April, 2012. If you...
Thanks Usman. I called my bank just 10 minutes before and asked about declined transactions if any. As others mentioned there is a delay in payment deduction. Usman, can you also update here as soon as the fee deducted from your account. There is no option but to call your bank regularly for your o...
