sinspider wrote:Hi friends,
I am presently on Work Permit in UK and I have applied for Tier-1 (General) on 13-March-2008. I have posted the application by Royal Mail registered post and I could track that it was delivered to them on 14th March 2008.
As on date (17-March-2008) the application fees has not yet been deducted from my credit card and I have not yet received any reference number from them.
Did any one apply for the Tier-1 (General) here? If yes, when did you apply and when did u receive any information from them e.g., reference number etc. Please help me.
Cheers

I think you should give couple of days before you get an update from HO. If you still dont hear anything then calling HO would be best option just to make sure your payment details are OK.
You are probably amongst first few tier 1 applicants. May be this thread can be used for time lines and queries on fresh tier 1 applications within UK.
I am on workpermit and am planning to apply for tier 1 by this month end.
Can you help me with following?
1. Have you sent your original passport? My passport has expired couple of months ago but I havent yet sent it to Indian embassy for renewal.We can get it renewed within one year after expiry. Will HO accept expired passport for tier one purpose? They have mentioned on BIA site that we can also give national identity document as age proof. Do you have any idea what all constitutes "national identity document". Will full indian driving license work as national identity document?
2. My name on my bank statement is not complete. Its just first letter of my first name and full last name. Will that be a problem?
3. The name by which I have salary credits in my bank is an abbriviated form of actual name of my employer. Is that a concern?
Good luck for your application! .. I will keep my status posted here.

Did you do anything specific to get the reference number? I have sent my application on March 6th, and though money was debited on 8th March, I have not received any reference number as yet. My email asking for a reference number was sent back with a form letter saying that the customer care center does not give out reference numbers any more.
Regards,
Ashraya

I received my reference number by mail today too! (Possibly that means that the application has moved from the Payments Processing centre to the actual place where it is processed.)
Starts with PB2988... Aylee, Keep posting here with any status updates, looks like you will be the first one to hear.
