As you know that they(bia) made transitional arrangements especially for maintenance funds.even they themself explained that is difficult to produce in very short notice.Then is it the big deal ?please explain.
Regards,ShivaaTier1_Queries wrote:Hi Urgent,
Thanks for your clarification.
All the best on your application.
urgent wrote:Hi Tier1_Queries,
My answers for your queries are as follows...
Ans 1:As I know you don't need to submit your marksheets if u can submit your original degree award. Please verify that on the self assessment tool and print the output and attach with the application.
If you can get a letter from the NARIC certified that your degree is equalent UK degree, that will make the case more stronger. But i think it is not mandatory. Incase if you are submitting original degree and also a letter from the NARIC please prepare covering letter to reflect all these.( As some lazy incompetent case workers don't verify everything until unless you spoon feed them .....
Ans 2: Regarding Maintenance funds u need to be more careful, as it is one of the mandatory requirement. you are saying you withdrawn the money from your savings account and deposited in the current account...then submit all the bank statements( savings and current) with your application and explain everything in the maitenance covering letter...so that it will help the case worker to understand your case.....
As I know maintenance funds is very important if you apply EC from India and i don't think its a problem as it is in country application....but be cautious and prepare a good covering letter...
All the best,
Tier1_Queries wrote:Hello Tier1 Aspirants,
Its really nice to be here in the Immigration Board forum to share our ideas.
Ayleee.. Congrats on sucessful application of Tier1. I think you should be
one of the early birds to get Tier1 Visa. Others, wish you all the best.
I have 2 queries in my mind :
1) I could find reference to mark sheets being submited though original
degree has been sent along with the application. Are Marksheets
mandatory to be submited?
I hold a Bachelors degree and to be on the safer side i wish to submit
the letter of comparability by NARIC as well for claiming qualification points.
2) In order to show the maintenance of funds i recently took money
from an savings account (maintained in the UK) and put it in my
current account.
Now, my worry is, will there be any rejections by the visa officer stating
that there has been recently surplus influx of funds. ( I have read similar such visa rejections in another thread posted in this forum)
If this is the case, how about going forward in convincing the visa officer
about the proof of maintenance of funds.
Please Clarify.

Hi Raja,Raja2 wrote:Hello,
I have recently joined the forum. This forum is very informative. I have applied for Tier1 on Mar 19 and waiting for decision on my application.
Would anyone of you tell me that how to receive the documents from Home Office. I have forgot to send the self addressed cover which applied for.
nauyf wrote:Congratulations to everyone who have already been approved!!!!!
I have some enquiries here:
If my previous earing in previous 12 months is less than 16,000 and I don't want to claim any points in this section, do I still have to prepare documents, e.g. payslip, bank statement etc.?
I am a student, in this case do I need a letter to prove this for the previous earning section?
May I just leave the whole area blank and without any supportive document?
Thanks

Also the rule states that the earnings band should be selected based on where you work not based on your nationality. So in my case my earnings were made in India and i work in UK.

ashraya wrote:Just spoke to HO to Ask for my status. The Person on the phone took my details (Reference Number, Name, and DOB) and checked on it. Initially, She said that they do not provide status checks for Tier-1 applications. I inisisted saying that I have a requirement to travel later this month, and I would like to understand if I need to send out an Urgent treatment form or not. After that, she put me on hold, and checked. She told me that its nearly been done, and will be despatched today or tomorrow, but would not tell me if the case was approved or not, as they are not supposed to inform the same over the phone.
I have half a feeling its been rejected, since on approval they did give out status to HSMPAspirant before.
Well, Guys, just keeping this thread updated.

I am in work permit now and i have a question on the dependant visa.
My spouse is in India and has a valid dependant visa issued for my work permit. I have applied for Tier 1 her in UK and awaiting the approval.
My question here is if my wife travels to Uk on the dependant visa issues for my work permit, can she successfully change to Tier 1 dependant after coming into UK ?
Another question When the dependant visa is issued for 12 months and if the base work permit is cancelled to revoked, what is the status of the dependant visa ? Does it become invalid as well?
Please advise me
