Hi everyone I have applied to switch my status from Tier 2 (G) to Tier 1 (G) and I need to travel outside UK within the next couple of weeks. I would appreciate if you could help me with the following questions: 1. Is there a way to understand at what stage my application is and do you think I coul...

Hi ,

Anyone has any idea about this whether the Bio-metric enrollment letter means decision is taken on our application or, HO will decide only when bio-metric is given.

Anyone heard any rejection even after bio-metric enrollment?

Pls advise. thanks.

Welcome to UK, mate!! 1. Passport, 2. Insurance is upto you. 3. Chest X-ray with Doctor's report is a must as this will be checked at Immigration.. 4. If possible get a pre-paid travel money card, but withdrawing money costs you 1.50 gbp/withdrawal. Its totally upto u and yours decision. That's all ...

thanks for your swift response, I believe so,, :) And its after all, an Initial application(so no chance for INR earnings made in UK :) ) , travelled on a valid work visa only on aug 2010. so anyone would believe that i must have made the earnings in the actual country and uplift can be applied. tha...

Hi, I have already submitted my application, last week of March. I am little worried about the uplift ration for the earnings i made in India. My earnings in India is for March 2010 to July 2010, & July to Feb 2011 in UK. 1) Can I use Uplift ratio of 5.3 for the earnings made in India, if yes, w...

@rjain : i think the option is to apply for judicial review considering the fact that they haven't given you a chance to appeal. sorry for you. But tell me one thing, are you falling short of 80 points just because of the full&final settlement is not considered?? or they haven't considered the t...

Hi , thanks for you reply. Yes I understood and agree with you , but unfortunately I did submit only my payslips/bank stmnts like most of us do. I thought that is what they require in any ways as an income proof. Every employer follow their own way of designing their payslip formats and so does the ...

so the bank statement in overseas/ pay slip in overseas doesn't serve the purpose is it?

@tyagisumit as long as it is mentioned clearly that the payment for the month of 'xxxxx' it should be fine. Again the evidence should be clear enough to understand that when and where did you earn the money etc., Mention this in your cover letter that you are providing the proper evidence to avoid a...

@rjain Can you please tell me whether you have submitted your pay slip for october and the amount (net) mentioned is reflecting in your bank accounts? And hope you know reimbursement is not counted as earnings, you should have explained it if it is not actually a reimbursement. Actually the way the ...

@sanjaym is 100% correct.

I did it by myself!! I would have gone to a consultant If I am, ..sure that i will get a personal appointment to submit my appln. ..self employed or any concerns in evidences i have. Its all straightforward in my case. so not worried except that it takes around 2 months to get my passports back. Tha...

Hi,

LTA - leave travel allowance is a taxable component. But in my pay slip it is mentioned that 'LTA reimbursement', is this still fine to be considered for claiming points? Please advise.

thanks,
Vinoth

Hi , I would like to know whether LTA (Leave Travel Allowance) can be claimed as earnings and eligible for points? In my payslips it is mentioned as 'LTA reimbursement - Rs. 50,000/-'. Because re-imbursements are not treated as earnings as i have read somewhere in the UK BA website, since LTA is a ...
