What is that option?.. When I called and tried, they said it has to be a minimum of 14 weeks before they give out any information

Part of my earnings came from self employment but none of my clients were contacted.

But was your employer contacted?

Just to clarify.. I havent got my docs back yet.

Any inputs would help..

Thanks

I checked with my employer today (Multinational IT company), there has been no background checks on my until now. Did my biometrics 5 weeks back.

Hi I will be applying for Tier 1 initial application soon and I have couple of doubts. 1. Can a relative pay the application Fee( through Debitcard / Postal order) ?

A student visa application generally takes months of planning and processing, it is not a week's process. So if the changes came into affect 23rd dec, its easy to say that the student visa was being processed long before this day. Now my intent could have been to switch after my studies but since th...

Is student Visitor also in the category of Tier 4 , or it is a seperate visa

I agree to your point and I know I am going to need all the luck

"If" I get the Tier-1 visa, wouldnt it make my Tier 4 invalid?

Yes I have enrolled into a college but my course starts in Feb

while I understand my application will be valid and I see no changes to rules post 23rd dec which prohibit me to change my status when I arrive there

Can the circumstances go against me?...

Especially considering the changes that came into effect 23rd Dec

Seniors, Please help with this

Thanks again
