They have 3 books supporting this test - guide for new residents, practice questions and answers and official study guide. Which one shall I buy? As I will use it only for passing the test, I am i ...

Hi all, My Solihull PEO appointment for 5 Jul 12 is cancelled by UKBA. Got email this morning saying that whole PEO is closed on 5 Jul 12! Searched a lot whether anyone else had the same, but couldn't find it. The person who emailed me booked another one but said I won't get email or text confirmati...

Thanks QuickSam,

One last question, how do I know that the email is genuine? I received email from Paul Haywood. Is there any way or are you aware of any other way to check whether this person is genuine? I did a Google search but can't find much info.

Thanks,
Amit

Hi QuickSam, Thanks for the reply. I just received another email saying that they can book me on earlier appointment :) By the way, do you know how long does it take to get your biometric card after the visa approval? If I get my approval on the same day as my PEO appointment and if the biometric sy...

Thanks QuickSam. I can understand your point about being 'unethical', but it was UKBA who rescheduled my appointment. I still want to attend the appointment. And I guess the whole office will be closed on 5th July 2012, so no one will be able to attend. I will try to open another account by differen...

Hello all, I had an appointment on 5 July 2012 at Sollihul. I just received an email from UKBA saying that due to uncontrollable factors Sollihul office will not open on 5 July 2012 and they have rescheduled my appointment on 20 July 2012. Any one else had the same thing? Can I register another acco...

Hi all, I have PEO appointment at Birmingham (Solihull) on 5 Jul 2012. I was considering rebooking my appointment at Croydon simply because it means less travel for me. Today I was reading bad experiences of PEO appointments at Croydon and want to reconsider my thought about rebooking the appointmen...

Thank you nnj10 and Mind_The_Gap. I appreciate your help.

Hi all,

How many days before does UKBA release the premium appointments? I am planning to go for premium appointment on 4 or 5 Jul, when should I book the appointment?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks Alladin, I appreciate your help. I have gone through the post and it does answer some questions. But the main problem is UKBA has stopped issuing Tier 1 General Visa outside UK!

Any way, I have got some useful info by this post thanks for that.

Cheers,
Amit

Dear all, One of my nearest friend had Tier 1 General visa issued and this visa was due for extension in middle of next year. He travelled to India recently (22th Dec) and today I learned that he lost his passport in India! He will be applying for new Indian passport very soon but does not know the ...

Thanks mate!

Dear all, I have a joint bank account with my wife. My Tier 1 General visa runs out next year, so will be filing application for extension. My wife will be applying as my dependant. We are in the UK now. Will there be any problem extending the visa if we have a joint account? We do not own any other...
