Dear All, I will be sending the Docs to UKBA by post tomorrow. My visa expires this saturday. Planning to send the documents by Special Delivery to the address UK Border Agency Tier 1 PO Box 496 Durham DH99 1WQ My Question: As this is a PO Box address mentioned above. I am worried that if I send wi...
I applied for Tier 1 General in February 2010. I just find that I need to inform UKBA for certain circumstances change in the approve letter. I changed my job and moved to a different city two years ago. Should I inform UKBA my job change and my address change? Is it too late to inform them? Thanks...
Hi Guys, I would like to know that if I get a salary of exactly 40K. And the salary band is like 30K-39,999 - x points 40K-49K - Y points are there any chances that they will give me x points instead of y? thanks in advance. Cheers Jay if your salary is exactly 40k and not a penny less than you wil...
Did you get this sorted out? FYI - my missus had a hard time getting Barclays to do this as well (with Barclays re-issued statements, not on bank letterhead). But she refused to budge, insisting that its a requirement from the UK government, and if the bank fails to comply, we may not be able to st...
It's nothing more than revenue gathering and makes it almost impossible to plan overseas travel given the unacceptable lengthy delays. UKBA doesn't acknowledge that immigrants have genuine work and family obligations as well as leisure as their reasons to travel outside of the UK. For them to be cha...
I guess it comes down to travel requirements ..... like I said in hindsight I probably would of paid the extra for the PEO to reduce the stress of our up and coming honeymoon .... last thing I would want is to be married and have plane tickets in hand and no passport .... on the other hand acceptin...
Appreciate all the advice and she will be trying another branch. This is yet another indictment on the poor customer service in the United Kingdom, whereas back in New Zealand (where we are from) any bank would fulfil our requests without delay. What about paying extra for the inperson fee for the t...
Copied from here What the bank statements must show Bank statements you send must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of the payments that you are claiming. If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account you should also send a supporting letter from the bank on ...
It is still free to attend a biometrics appointment at the UKBA with an appointment. Trouble is you have to book and it could take some time (11 days for me after the Biometrics better) and your first choice of location may not be available.
apologies if this has been covered, but is it possible to travel without the Biometric Residence Permit IF my current Tier 1 visa is still valid? I am hoping to travel for the Bank Holiday next weekend and (again hoping!) that my passport will be returned by early next week. However, I don't expect...
Biometric letters are taking a little longer to arrive due to the high number of applications posted in March before the fees increase. As you posted yours before the April 5 deadline, the fees should still be £1000 and £500. If the payment was not correct, they should notify you as it's an invalid ...
Thank you ajf773. But I belive they have lot of application coming .. and after reading the processing timelines ..it might take 2 months. My girlfriend is applying soon as well as she is in the same boat. I believe most of the applications would be before April 6 before the significant fee hike so...
Hello All, I have applied just before the rush time, which was wrong decision, as I have to wait longer. My current visa is expiring on 10th May, can I ask them now to change it to Same Day service. Thank you Once you hand your application and documents over to the postal service, it's a bit late. ...
You have to return to your home country to reapply for a different category under the YMS. The UKBA closed Tier 1 (General) at the end of 2010 to applicants outside of the UK. This makes it impossible to apply unless they change the rules before your visa expires (very unlikely under the tory govern...
The youth mobility programme certainly has its difficulties for anyone who wishes to stay beyond two years. Now that the UKBA closed tier 1 general, it makes it incredibly hard to obtain leave to remain for further than that. If her permanent job likely to fall on the job shortage list for tier 2, t...

My girlfriend will miss the deadline, she was hoping to apply in May before her current leave expires and to give enough time to have the requirement of maintenance funds in her bank account - which she won't have by April 5.
It's an outrage. Revenue gathering at it's worst. It's a 50% increase in fees and that's an awful lot of money. By attempting cull the entry of skilled workers into the UK from outside the EU, the economy is going to get worse not better. About time the UK got out of the bureaucracy that is the Euro...
Next 15 working days from December 14th will extend into January taking into account there are three bank holidays in England over the Christmas, New Year's break. But as the previous post I would contact the UKBA for advice if you cannot do it at a selected post office.
Additional question I have obtained visa in Dec 2008 and its Effective date was from 1st Feb 2009. In question D3 (What date was the entry clearance or visa issued?) which value should I use? I am not sure about the date on which I had received the Tier 1 approval in Dec. One more question, while f...
