i am really sorry to hear that they rejected your aplication for tier 1. The reason they have given for rejection is not valid, if the online calculator on the bia website can verify the university , then why dont they phone the swedish university and confirm your details with them.
what is pissing me off is that the home office is looking at the quality of the paper on which the degree is being awarded, rather than calling the university to verify it.
so does this mean one can just print out a degree at home on a really high quality paper and the incompetent case worker will approve it because he/she will like the look and feel of it.
sinspider could you please tell us your reference number as mine and ashraya's case was filed in the same time frame as yours.
i am getting worried now about the level of competency of the caseworkers , my SEGS visa has expired on the 20th of march and i already had so much trouble trying to convince my employer that i am still entitled to work if my case is with the home office. i have heard so many stupid reasons recently for rejection that i am starting to get worried , if they reject my case i will have to go back home and reapply from there.
Ashraya , have you heard any thing from the home office , i have tried calling them nearly every 3rd day hoping that some one different may pick up the phone and tell me some thing about my case but no luck at all. All i get to listen is that they cannot give any information on Tier-1 Application other than the fact that they have recieved it.
Keep posting .

I am 1000% sure this Tier-1 thing is a pure business oriented money making idea. Otherwise, how will they sponsor the London Olympics
They clearly told me that for no application they would contact the applicant to provide additional documentation. They will simply send a rejection letter. They will not contact you either by phone or letter before rejection either. What a joke! After taking 750 GBP they should at least give a chance for the applicant to strengthen the case if necessary.
In the Online Calculator they said a Swedish degree was acceptable as comparable to UK degree and as English Proof. I provided them with the email, phone and fax numbers of the officials in Sweden. But they said they cannot do that because if they do it for one case, they will have to do it for all cases.

Sorry to hear about rejection of your application but nothing to worry as you are well on your way to ILR with work permit.
Hi All,
I will be sending my application very soon.Can people who have already applied guide me a bit on following minor points:
1.My wife's name is not included on my passport. Is that a problem?
2.Do I need to send marriage certificate to prove my marriage? Its not mentioned anywhere that we need this. And she has already got dependant visa as my spouse on my work permit(which has been extended twice in UK).
3.On the application form they ask for 'Home office reference number'. What number is it? Is it reference number on work permit(this number doesnt fit the number of boxes on the form, its too long) or is it some number on my visa?
4.At another place they ask visa number.Is it VAF number on the visa or number at top right hand corner of visa?
5.Previous earnings are considered before tax. Now salary slips will show the gross salary(as well as salary after tax deduction) but bank statement will only show salary after tax deduction(salary credits).So gross salary is actually only on one evidence and we claim points based on that. is that OK?
Thanks and good luck to all waiting for decision.

This morning i recieved my documents back from the home office.
The letter from the home office is dated 19th of march saying that we are pleased to inform you that your application has been approved.
probably then it was sent to the passort department to be stamped which for some reason took more than a week to stamp it (maybe because of easter weekend ) .
my passport got stamped on the 1st of April and i recieved the documents today on the 3rd of April.
i had enclosed a pre-paid special delivery envelop and they sent my docs back in them.
i have been granted visa for 3 years .
so the time line for initial Tier-1 Applications looks like this if every thing is in order.
Date Applied :11th march
Reached Home office : 12th march
Debit charged: 13th March
Reference Number received :14th March ( PB2993....)
Decision : Approved on 19th March
Passport Stamped 1st April.
Docs Recieved :3rd April
what this shows is that there is a separate team handling Tier 1 application because my application was approved in 7 days as they recieved it on the 13th of march and the letter of approval has the date of 19th of march.
Ashraya hopefully your's would have been approved as well, i guess it would be matter of days before you recieve it as well.
Thank you to every one on this forum. i wish you all the very best.

First of all congratulations on your successful application. I was expecting yours/ashraya's application will be approved first.
So first good news is from u then. Thanks for updating the forum with your success.
After seeing couple of approvals we can estimate the processing time for the tier 1 applications. Anyway now I can guess it is approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
Regards,
