However in my personal opinion, there are NO effective and material changes for any extension applicants. There is a change. Then elaborate on it. Ok, I will try. The minimum required points for attribute was 80 ( total 100) when I applied for Tier 1. As of now I need 75 points for attribute (95 to...

Thanks Dreemweaver. I am inclined to put 51234.35, if it is ok to write. At least this is 100% accurate. Please suggest ? I do not think it is an issue. You can go ahead and put the complete number as its 100% accurate as you said. Anyway its just a fraction and is not going to affect your point. M...

Re: Decimal point issue with salary in PBS calculator

For some reason Point Based calculator does not accept salary in decimal number. e.g. £51234.35. It gives error saying that negative salary not allowed. Weird coding. :) My salary is in pound already. Now in the application form the following question is asked: "The applicant should input his...

I am just trying to see if OP has a chance to appeal in the court of law if the visa is refused There's no right to appeal when applicant's current leave is valid (not expired).

You definitely can be refused. While it's fine to say that if you get the points you get in, many people are refused because of false representations, even if they get the points with the false representation (albeit mostly in the form of false documents).

I agree with the suspicion part. But can they deny visa because...
