Congratulations! We are in similar but slightly worse situation than yours - my wife has spent 507 days outside the UK (same reason - pregnancy). I didn't have much to provide except a letter from her gynec in India. We applied on 13th Feb. So, I'm expecting to hear about the outcome in the next fe...

Congrats.

I have my appointment on 4th July. Could you please guide me on the covering letter.

Regards,
Bhaskar

Hi Kiran, Sorry to say, but you are completely wrong, If I understood your scenario. Producing Remittances, Business Bank Statement, VAT and Tax returns doesnt mean that you are earning as individual. All these documents refer to your company. ILR requirement has a section for your earnings. Remitta...

Thanks

HI All,

How early can we give the life in UK Test. My am eligible for ILR next year, but want to get it out of way as soon as possible.

Please advice.

Yes, Your absence can be counted as your stay in UK.

You should inlcude the deputation letter and prove your absence as work related.

Hi, Can you please let me know if PEO Glasgow is processing the Tier 1 Extension applications for Self employed as contractors. I have booked an appointment for myself and dependents and then realised that in 2012 they denied the applications for Contractors. Let me know your experiences with this P...

Hi, I am due for a 2nd extension, planning for PEO. I am working as a Contractor with my Limited Company. Can anyone tell me if I need to provide a Invoice Explanation letter from the agency? I have all the Invoices raised. Since the rules change since Oct 2013, bit confused with the Invoice Explana...

You can go any time before the expiry. You visa might be 2/3 years from the day of approval rather than the current expiry. They generally ask you the reason for extending well in advance. If they are satisfied with your reason, they might give from the expiry date. My case is as that of you. visa e...

Hi, Provide strong evidences that you and your wife are in contact. You can provide your joint bank account statements, your call details to your wife, the email and skype conversations, etc. There is no end to the list of documents to show that you both are in a relationship. If you can afford, go ...

It is ok if you have not paid for a month. UKBA will calculate on the total earnings in this 12 month period. Hi, I need some expert advice in terms of earnings period for Tier 1 (General). If I am claiming 12 months from Nov 2012 till Oct 2013, Is it necessary that I should get paid every month dur...

Hi Challa, Congrats..... Sorry to ask, Can I know what is the difference between 5 and 6 in the documents list (Invoices and Client Invoices). --Bhaskar Dear All, I have successfully done with my 2nd Tier 1 General Application on Nov 8th 2013. My timelines for Tier 1 extension as below : 1. Category...

Need not inform UKBA about change of appearence. It will be taken care by them in next Visa extension. :) Recently I applied for renewal of my Indian passport at Indian High Commission (London) and they asked me to complete change of appearance form. I look almost the same as I used to ten years ago...

I agree with you. I dont know what they would say if partner is in India. Anyhow lets wait for Anndeep to reply. They replied that "BY LAW, its mandatory to get the spouse name endorsed" What if the spouse resided in India, and hence applicant didn't have access to the original passport. W...

Could you let us know what is the reason mentioned by them for rejecting the visa? Also what are the supporting documents they have submitted? Hello guys Please I need some advice. Myself live in uk and I got british nationality in 2013. I have full time job. My parents ( from india )applied for uk ...

Got you. You are looking for re-issue of your Passport (Renewal). I have been to HCI London for the same reason. I have mentioned my spouse name in the application. Havent taken marriage certificate or Spouse Passport. I have been told to come again with the Marriage Certificate, Spouse Passport and...

No, they will allow only the person who needs the extension of passport and none else, even if the other person is a partner. (Take a token and ask your friend to tell them that your friend is applying for ......). Can I take a friend with me to the Indian High Commission, London, to renew Indian pa...

Option B. I am applying for renewal of passport at Indian High Commission (London) tomorrow. My passport is currently valid so i am applying to reissue within one year validity. The form says (Ques 20: is this application for a passport for the A) first time; B) new passport in replacement of an exp...

I have been to HCI London last month. My feedback to your query is below ( As per the HCI London, though they have not mentioned it). By Law, Its mandatory to include the Spouse name in the passport. For this you need the self attested passport copy of the spouse whcih they include with your applica...

The Genuine Earnings Test has nothing to do with the Salary and Dividends. As a Director of the company, we might need to show - the funds into the Business Bank Account is from a valid source. As the Tier 1 General has been abused by few people with fake funds deposited by third party, UKBA has com...

Its upto the Caseworker if they want to get it corrected. As per the policies of UKBA, they consider the information in the application. Any missing / false evidence can lead to visa refusal. They might ask you for more documents if they need. During my interview in PEO, the guy is not intrested in ...

Hyderbad appointments are easy to get. It might take hardly couple of days to get an appointment after submiting the application.

Answer for Question 2 is the date when ur visa start date is. This has been answered to me by the Case worker during my extension. Confident on this and lock it.

True, Now that you want an extension, inform your supervisors well in advance and hope that your result is on the same day. Prepare well with all possible answers for all the silly questions they raise. Have your documents perfectly, carry all possible docs, you never know if they ask you for some X...
