Looked through, and can confirm you have everything needed to pull this through. For co-habitation, were you married before you got your initial T1 (G) visa? If that is the case, you don't need to show documentation for co-hab. This was my experience. As long as your salary meets the requirement, t...

Thanks for the useful info link. Really helpful and will read them.

It's not illegal, and, indeed, if they are admitted they are entitled to stay for six months at at time. However, as they are breaking the guidelines for visit entry, they can, at any time, be refused entry or have their visa curtailed. I would suggest that it's only a matter of time before a vigil...

I just want to ask about this 6-months spending in UK per year with visit visa limitation: -- Is this true ? Is yes then can you give me some link ? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part2/ If what you say is true, they have been effectively residing in ...

They can apply for a long-term visa but it will only be issued at the discretion of the ECO. Nevertheless, they are only permitted to spend six months per year in the UK with that visa. The rules have been modified and only the relatives of settled residents can apply for the family visit category,...

count me in too. I already filled my details in google docs link.

There is no requirement for visa extension of some months/days before current visa expires. I also had my 2nd extension last week which was 8.5 months early. I did that due to same reason fees increase (was expecting this) and peace of mind. No questions were asked and got visa starting from date of...

Plz tell me if I can pay their fees while applying online through UK debit/credit card or do I have to pay in Rupees in Gerry's?

I am not sure but I am pretty confident that Gerry's needs fees in Pak rupees. You can confirm this by calling Gerry's.

2. Nadra B Form is for children under 18(subs of NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD) I am trying my best to apply b4 6 April if my family will get their passport One more thing. Do they have to travel within 90 days or any time? NADRA Birth Certificate (with both English and Urdu written on same page) is enoug...

2-days ago I got my 2nd extension approved and for further addresses I used separate plain A4 sheet and wrote addresses by hand mentioning form question number and name and DOB of applicant (Did this for dependents form only as they haven't asked to provide all addresses for main applicant). This is...

Hope my experience will guide others even when they secured only one person's appointment for Cardiff PEO but they considered dependents as a family (although then will give decision with-in 10 working days): 1. Current vignette : Tier 1 (General) 2. Appointment for: Tier-1 General - Extension (2nd)...

Hi fslateef, I assume you went through peo, If you can share, Do you have to provide any reasons for early extension or any questioning regarding that. Appreciate your response. Thanks Madhumesh Yes I went to Cardiff PEO and shared my experience http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=1285...

Yes, I did that 5 days ago and got approval (my current visa was expiring after 8-months in October 2013). As my ILR is due in April 2014 thus I will be hopefully going to apply for ILR by end of March 2014 (28-days early than 5-years) to avoid another fees increase in April 2014.

First I want to thanks everyone on this forum who answered my queries quickly and also this forum helped me a lot in understanding stuff. As a summary my experience was very good. I had appointment at 8:30AM. Reached there at 8:15AM and security persons was helpful and just let my family go with me ...

I completely agree with JaganKumar. UKBA mentioned: ' These increases are mostly in line with inflation and will ensure that the UK continues to welcome the brightest and the best. It is only right that those who use and benefit from the immigration system should contribute more than the UK taxpaye...

My friend applied for Post study work in April 2012 and his visa was to expire in August 2012. he waited until the last day if he received his reply but he haven't. Then he applied his wife visa with his acknowledgement letter and a cover letter that he applied and haven't received any reply in 4 m...

"Dependants’ fees are for applications made at the same time as the main applicant. For PBS dependants applying individually the relevant main applicant fee is payable" Which means £1545 for dependants applying separately after 6th April 2013... I missed that point earlier .... Is it real...

Hi Team Unfortunately, my visa expires in July which means that i will have to pay new fee for my extension. I am confused with the amount of fee i will have to pay for myself and my dependent if I want to go for same day appt. I understand that as a main applicant i will have to £1800 + £375 but n...

Yes postal statements are original statements, as long as they are original (not copies) with logo of the bank, your name and address, account number and sort code and covering the required period and funds You only need bank statement stamped and signed if that is printed by yourself. Otherwise Yo...

Hi, I need clarification about my bank statements from Lloyds TSB current account: I have setup my account as paper-less statements so I don't receive statements automatically. Now I requested bank to send me statements and I received them in post (multiple posts). Now the my question is: Are these ...

Thanks, another quick question:

Copies of everything don't include application forms, right ?

Hi askhan, I have also same confusion: Going for PEO appointment; should have to take photocopies of everything ? And they need to take photocopies of statements also ? (Statement pages are near hundred). Is it mandatory to have them OR they/CW can do this by themselves ? Thanks P.S. Sorry to ask qu...

I am still a bit tensed as application will be 8-months early (my reason is peace-of-mind as I have to go for extension to overcome shortfall from 5-years/ILR) and not sure what reason have to give to case-worker. Also just want to confirm again that you are 100% sure that there is no way/reason th...

UKBA enquiry helpline is known to give incorrect advice at times. There's no rule that specify when you can extend as long as it's before your visa expires. I extended in 2011. When I extended back in 2011 the case officer asked why did I extend, I still have a year left. I said for work and mortga...

I had the same problem with my 1st extension but as I applied for UK NARIC certificate when making initial application which says my Masters is equivalent to UK Masters; so I claimed points against that certificate again (using same equivalency certificate). And UKBA don't have any objection. So I a...
