Hello Friends, My daughter who is 3 is a UK citizen. Me and my wife both have Indefinite Leave to Remain. We are planning to travel to Spain in December and I am wondering if me and my wife needs to apply for the visa and if we do is it the normal Schengen visa. My confusing arises from the point on...

Thaks Casa and CR001,
I did successfully received my ILR today and was not charged any extra fees.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the reply. However, the UKVI customer care that I talked to told me a) old fees but be prepared to pay the reminder b) absolutely. you will have to pay the difference at the counter in the premium center So, I am confused. Also, which form should I fill and carry. The new form has the new...

Hi, I have an ILR appointment (premium) on 10th May. I had taken this appointment on 4th April (before the increased fees had kicked in) and therefore had paid the old fees. Would I be asked to pay the increased fees when I go for the appointment? I have tried calling UKVI a couple of times and have...

Hi all, Me and my wife are currently in UK on Tier 1 (General) and Tier 1 (Dependent) respectively. We were recently blessed with a baby girl and my wife wants to travel to India. While she is in India, I am planning to apply for my Tier 1 (General) extension. Is it then possible for my wife to appl...

Hi Ram, Are you and your wife and the baby going for the appointment? I think then you can choose the Family checkbox. Inside the online appointment, give your and your wife's passport number and in the OCI Registration number enter the birth registration number. The birth registration number would ...

Hi, I applied for my daughters birth registration on 25th September and was told to come and collect it in person after 7-8 days. However, there is an online link (http://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/IC_File_Current_Status.aspx) which shows the status of the registration process (requires MHA numb...

@ukquery : by the time, PEO glasgow replied I had already received my december salary. With my december salary added I made my qualifying points and therefore in order not to confuse them I refrained from showing my indian salary. However, it is perfectly acceptable to show Indian salary with a) pay...

So, I received a call from UKBA glasgow and they have now admitted their mistake. They said they have checked with the UK policy and they were in the wrong. The lady gave me a few options to correct it 1) A new date in Glasgow 2) Enrolling my case in yet to be released premium postal service where t...

First a little background of my case. I have a separate thread opened for that (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=119787&highlight=) In brief, my visa expires on 4th Jan 2013. I got a PEO appointment on 1st Dec, 2012 in Glasgow which I duly attended. However, I was showing 4 month...

@Lucapooka : maybe you said this in jest but I take objection to the use of term "ruse". I am being forced into this situation. I have another thread opened for that (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=119787) so won't go into my situation in detail here. Suffice to say my vi...

Posting again as I am hoping someone senior could reply

Are you paid salary in advance?
I don't see any issue (I am in a similar albeit a little different situation) but it would help if some senior could respond.

My opinion if you could get a letter from your company that they pay salary in advance.

@Lucapooka : Thanks for the prompt reply. I will get the statement from bank. The reason I was asking was in the guidance notes a notion of calendar month is mentioned and I was wondering if that has an impact on that.

Hi Everyone, I have a general query. My Tier 1 visa is expiring on 4th Jan 2013. I am trying to take the services of a solicitor to get me dates in the month of December but since UKBA is off for holidays my solicitor has informed me that dates are available only till 22nd. I have requested my compa...

I have talked to multiple solicitors since morning and all of them are of the view that the case worker was at fault here. However, they are suggesting there is no point in complaint. I am really pissed at this. I spent close to 300 pounds to go to glasgow without any result. Now, the solicitors are...

@ukquery : If i go by what the case officer told me you should be fine.
Since you entered UK your visa was activated and therefore now if you go back to India you can put your indian salary.

However, I am not convinced he is correct. I think you can show your Indian salary either ways.

Would really appreciate any suggestions here. As feared, I am not getting any appointments and I have searched and searched and I have not found any reference on the basis of which the case worker refused to accept my application.

Hi, I am trying to get my tier 1 visa extended and would appreciate help and advise. I obtained the tier 1 visa on 4th Jan, 2011. However, I did not enter UK till 31st March 2012. Now, my visa is up for extension on 4th Jan 2013 and therefore I took an appointment with Glasgow PEO for 1st Dec 2012. ...

Okay, i finally got them on phone and the officer on the other side has confirmed that they have released dates for Saturday and it is valid.

However, I will still prefer a written response so if anyone has an email address where I can shoot this query I would really appreciate it.

I have recently booked an appointment for Tier 1 extension for 1st Dec. However, 1st Dec is a Saturday and the UKBA office says the Glasgow office is closed on Saturday. Has anyone else booked an appointment for Saturday and is their any confirmation from UKBA that Glasgow office is opened on Saturd...

Hi all, My wife's dependent visa came through successfully. I have updated the answers I provided in the quoted text below. Hi, I applied for and successfully received my Tier 1 visa on 4th Jan, 2011 valid till 4th Jan, 2013. Due to some personal reasons, I was not able to go to UK till now. However...

oh sorry..just saw the "link" as a link and brain is hard wired to click. I am not very clear from the guidance notes. Nowhere is it mentioned that payslips should be provided but on searching on this forum I found people have submitted their payslips for dependent visa too i.e. the main a...

Hi sushdmehta, Thanks for the reply. The link opens to a wikipedia page. Kindly correct the link. On the same point, don't we have to show two independent proofs for funds i.e. bank statements and payslips? Even if I show my funds, I was planning to show my payslips and the bank statement or was tha...

Thanks for the prompt reply sushdmehta I have a follow up query 1) I have enough funds in my savings account in ICICI. However, ICICI divided my account into savings account and Linked FD account. Linked FD is just a FD linked to my savings account on which I get higher than savings bank interest. I...
