i dont think so. Just call up 08459154515 and ask them to issue your class 2 NI invoice. I hope you called up the correct HMRC number. They generated the Class 2 NI invoice for my friend just last week and he already received it. Just keep chasing them.

What i have learned from my experience is that if it is a cheque payment, allow 7-10 working days for the payment to be deducted. If it is a debit card payment, u should allow atleast 5 working days. I am sure your visa fees will get deducted this week. Don't loose patience. All the best:) Keep us p...

Thanks raxs1983.Yes, it indeed was an unwanted experience. Thank you very much for the wishes.

My visa fees finally got deducted on 15th Feb 2011.

Finally the Visa fees have been debited from my account today.

Thanks mate. As you say, i would wait till mid of this week before calling them. The reason why I am so impatient is that my visa already expired on 10th Feb and my employer is looking for home office letter. dont know what to do? i dont think i will get the home office letter his week also.

Hi,

My Tier 1 Visa application reached home office on 3rd feb 2011 along with my dependent’s application. Today is 14th Feb 2011 and till today the Visa fees has not been deducted from my account.

I had issued 2 Bank of Scotland cheques in favour of “Home Officeâ€

Great to know that your fees is deducted now and your application is in process. Which home office number did u called up to enquire about your payment? can you please mention the number. i want to call them and find out as what is happening with my application fee? Please update the contact number.

Hi,

Can every one who paid their Tier 1 Gen Visa fees by Cheque, please update the timelines as to how many days did it take for the Cheque to get cleared and visa fees deducted.

Hi,

If at all we need to contact the Border Agency regrading our payment not being deducted, whcih number do we call? do we call the same customer care number? Is there any other number for the UKBA payment handling team?

hi sanjeev x kumar annd raxs1983, Brothers thank you so much. whether I get my visa or not but your answers really boozed me out from the stress I am going through. I am thanking you guys on behalf of all the people who receive help from this forum. Plz continue doing this good work. God bless u mo...

dont worry abt the UTR number. That always takes tme to come. U can call HMRC at 08459154515 and ask them to send your Class 2 NI Invoice which is for self employment. Class 2 NI invoice comes within 7-10 days. Once you receive your class 2 NI invoice, you dont need your UTR number. The policy guida...

There is no need to send 12 months bank statement if you are not claiming any points. If u r claiming points only for 11 months, u just need to send 11 months of bank statement. u have to just show the bank statements where there is salary credit. u dont even have to show all the pages of your bank ...

I made payment by 2 Cheques for me and my wife. Total of £850 and £250 respectively. Anyways, i will call up the bank and instruct them. Till yesterday the Cheque did not hit my bank for clearance.

Any update guys? Anyone's visa fee deducted yet? My visa fee not yet deducted. I am checking my online statement every now and then

any senior moderators? please reply

why was your incentive not mentioned on the Payslip?

Hi Goldfish,

I think you are right. I will wait for another 3 working days and then probably try to call the home office.

U just have to show £533 for your wife. U need not show maintainance fund again for u.

My application reached home office on 3rd Feb 2011 (Thursday) and today being 10th of Feb 2011, the visa fee not yet deducted from my account. But, I made the payment by CHEQUE, so i am not sure how much time does it take for the cheque to get cleared? Can i contact home office and enquire? which nu...

It is £533 if the main applicant is in the UK for more than 12 months.

It is very clearly mentioned in the UKBA guidelines. You should show £533 as maintainance fund for your wife.

There is no need to notify UKBA whenever you move house. You are free to change any houses/flats while you are in the UK. UKBA is not interested in knowing how many houses you changed. Hope this clarifies.

is it compulsory to mention the applicant name and DOB on the back of the Cheque. i think, i didnt mentioned my name and DOB on the back of the cheque. will this cause any problem?

I notice that there are some confusion regarding the account going overdrawn and wether or not it will affect the Tier 1 application. please see below, response from the UKBA. It obviouly affect the Tier 1 G application, as far as claiming points for maintainance is concerned. ______________________...

yes, it will affect your application. The 90 days have to be from the date statement is issued. You will not get points for maintainance. do you have any other funds anywhere in the world? if, yes, you can use them to cover this.
