Hi guys, Reading this thread, I am a bit confused. Does this mean that the main migrant who is already in the UK will also have to show maintenance fund of £900 for 90 days?

Hello members,
My Tier 1 General expires on 5 April. I have to post my application on 4 April with next day delivery. Is it valid or will they count it as late application if they receive it on the same day as my expiry?

My earning (revenue) from self-employment is a mere £6014.55 and expense of £311 with a net profit of £5624.55. This is taking my total from full time plu...

Also be careful about your client asking to pay through a person instead of a company since it might look dodgy for Home office but HRMC does not care. Thank you karg_g for your reply.
