[rasinrdj]

Congratulations. Please provide details of your experience.

[hsmpinfo79]

Congratulations...wow..this is the first case I see where the visa is issued in a weeks time...

but the website says they are looking at applications applied before 15 Sept...
so is the info in the website wrong?

or have you done this personally?

[mvent00]

Thanks, my application was in person application (outside UK). Six working days is not the shortest time, there are some Tier 1 applications decided within two days: For instance see Ireland

Hi mvent00, I had thought premium appointments are available only within UK.

Please confirm if you meant in person applications can be applied for outside UK as well ? If possible, please also let us know the place/country of your application as well.

Thank You,

[push]

Good stuff. See if you can hang around for a while and help others with your experience. You already have a significant number of posts which surely would have aided many.

Good luck

In person application, by courier applications, vary country by country. In many countries they accept only in person applications. You can check the counrty you are looking, for more specific information about all types of visa applications.

Hello Buddy,

First of all congrats. Quick question. I have applied for this as well from Ireland. The question that I want to ask is, that my Master Degree which is from a college of Ireland, which was affiliated to University of Wales Uk. Can you please tell me should i claim for 5 points for UK Experience as my degree was from University of Wales though i studied in Ireland. Last thing, do i need to get assessment of my qualification, cause my degree is from university of Wales.

Thanks a million for ur help.
Congrats and May God be with you.

Thanks Chetan, yes it was a nightmare to do the translation of documents, especially translation of each bank transaction during 12 months. 48 pages were only for translation. I really appreciate your tips, particularly getting a letter from the translator. I feel relaxed now! Thanks again!!

Hello Buddy,

Quick question. I have applied for this as well from Ireland. The question that I want to ask is, that my Master Degree which is from a college of Ireland, which was affiliated to University of Wales Uk. Can you please tell me should i claim for 5 points for UK Experience as my degree was from University of Wales though i studied in Ireland.

Quote from guidance:
144. An applicant can claim a maximum of five points if he/she has:
• undertaken a period of full-time study in the United Kingdom, of at least one full academic year, and been awarded a qualification at bachelor’s degree level or above. The qualification should have been awarded no more than five years before making the application.

AND

147. We will only award points for periods of study in the United Kingdom if the applicant has supplied the specified documents showing his/her period of study in the United Kingdom.
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/siteco ... 310309.pdf pages 27 and 28 of 44.

Based on these I assume that full time study should be in UK. But I would claim points for that. At maximum they can reject my claim and will not award these points. Do you have enough points except these points?

Last thing, do i need to get assessment of my qualification, cause my degree is from university of Wales.

If PBS calculator awards you points for that degree in Qualification and English language sections, you do not need any assesment from NARIC.

Thanks a million for ur help.
Congrats and May God be with you.
