Hi, I know this has been asked and replied many times on this forum, but I am not able to find the policy on UKBA website for travelling within 28 days rule if one has to apply for ILR in 5 years. I understand that one cann't be outside UK for more than 6 months in total during a period of 5 years. ...

Hi All, I am going to apply for Tier 1 visa from outside UK and have already filled the above mentioned forms. I need to clarify something (although it isn't a big thing). 1. VAF9 Form: Appendix A requires to mention supporting documents checklist. Due to short of space, I have mentioned the documen...

Great! thanks for boosting my confidence

Apoligies for mis-spelling your name Natita.

Many thanks Nanita, I was looking out for Appendix A but couldn't find it. I have read the table 3 and I have one doubt. I earned my UK salary on Work Permit Visa and not Tier 1 visa. Am I eligible to claim UK Ekperience points based on Work Permit Visa? I think I am, but I just want to confirm. Che...

Yeah that's correct.

The person who is physically working in UK cannot uplift his earnings from any other country. He can simply use the pounds sterling equivalent of his Indian earnings but not uplift it.

Hope it clears your doubt.

If you travel to UK within 28 days after your visa grant date AND you will not be outside UK for more than 180 days in next 5 years time, then you won't need to apply for 2nd extension for ILR. If any one of the above fails, then you will ahve to apply for 2nd extension, meaning that you can only ap...

Thanks mulderpf.

I will apply for travel date no later than 90 days in that case

Hi, I am applying for Tier 1 (General) visa out of UK and need your advice / opinion on the following matter. In the VAF9 form, the first thing required is to mention the date you wish to travel to UK. I am planning to fill it as 01st April 2011. Someone advised me to mention the travel date for 1 o...

Thanks all for your kind response. @innocentdevil: I have payslips UK for 12 months but I was back in India in my 12th month and this is my area of worry. @tvn_ramesh: Same answer to your reply. Yeah I am aware that I cannot uplift my Indian salary when I was in UK. I can only uplift my 12th month s...

Hi, I am applying for Tier 1 (General) visa in few days. I have my previous earnings both from UK and India for the period 01st Dec 2009 to 30th Nov 2010. Out of this, more than 25,000 GBP were earned in UK. I am claiming 5 points for UK Experience. I have been told that one needs to be in UK for mo...

Ofcourse I will. Thanks loads

Many thanks for your response mulderpf . I was physically working in UK and I was getting some basic salary in my Indian bank account apart from my UK salary. According to you, I can show my India salary (convereted into sterling pounds) but cannot uplift it. If thats the case, then its a good news ...

I was able to clarify the first doubt about 12 months period in the guidance policy. It clearly states that "The applicant can claim points for previous earnings in any single, consecutive 12-month period during the 15 months immediately before the date of applying."

Hi All, I am planning to apply for Tier 1 visa from Bangalore, India. I want to clarify my doubts about previous earnings: 1. As per the visa application guide "Points are awarded for your previous earnings from work for a period of up to 12 months out of the 15 months preceding your applicatio...
