Its unfortunate that you got a rejection. You should have been very careful when you applied. Anyways, if you can demonstrate that you had adequate funds (including those that you did not provide evidence for initially), you have good chances of getting a decision in your favour.vmyilsamy wrote:Hi,
I applied for tier 1 general extension on 14 Nov 2009 within UK, but my application was refuesed along with my depenedants application as my funds gone down for 4 or 5 times during the three months period. And only once below £800.
I wasn't aware till I got my refusal letter, I made my initial application thru' HSMP. I had the missing funds(£30) in one of my bank account in India. I decided not to appeal for my dependants and appealing only for me.
I had faxed my appeal explaining the situation(requested for Paper hearing) along with the Indian bank statement.
My question is
1. What chance do I have?
2. How long will it take to get the judgement letter from AIT?
3. If successful how long it will take further to get the stamping?
Many thanks in advance
Not sure of the latest timelines but if you search on the forum, then some members with similar cases have posted their experiences. That should help give you an idea.vmyilsamy wrote:Hi there,
Thanks a lot for the kind reply.
Yes I have appealed and provided evidence for the missing funds. I would like to know how long it will take for the AIT to deal the appeal?
Many thanks

Since when you applied for your HSMP extension to Tier1(G), your wife is on Student Visa; She can not apply to get Tier1(G) Dependent visa being on Student Visa..bhavikbuzz wrote:Hi,
I had applied for my HSMP extension and dependent application for my wife on 14th Jan 2010.
My wife is on student visa and her visa expires on 31st May 2010.
We thought that as i am applying for my extension we might as well add her name as dependent as her visa's were expiring soon.
Today i received the passports and I got the visa extended for 3 years
but they rejected my wife's dependent application.
They say that we do not meet the requirement at para 319c(h) of immigration rules as follows.
(h) An applicant who is applying for leave to remain, must have, or have last been granted, leave:
(i) as the Partner of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant,
(ii) as the spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-gender partner of a person with leave under another category of these Rules who has since been granted, or is, at the same time, being granted leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant.
The letter says that you are not entitled to appeal this decision as you still have right to stay here till 31st May 2010.
Can anyone please advise what this rule means and why the dependent application for my wife was rejected?

she should be on the same type of visa when she applied along with you..
But since ur wife's student visa is valid till May 2010, she should move to her country of residence and apply for Tier1(G) Dependent Visa on or before her current Student visa expires;
Get back if u have any more queries..
Initial Dependent Visa's should be applied from Country of Residence and go through the Entry Clearance Process.. so if you want her to join as your dependent she should apply from the country of residence..bhavikbuzz wrote:Thank you for answering. I should have added that, we came here separately. She came on student visa and I came on my student visa. We met here. I then applied for HSMP. Then we went home to get married. After that we came back here, and I applied for extension now.
So, I really don't understand how can she be on the same visa as me before?
It's almost impossible to go back for her to India now because of her studies (which will finish in June, 2010), so is there any way we can apply from here only?
Suppose if we have to go to India, any ideas about how long it takes in India? Though we would like to find a way of applying from here only.
We didn't included these details in the application this time, we only provided marriage certificate and proof of funds, joint account/council details etc., do you think writing a covering letter explaining the situation, or marriage photos/dvd makes application stronger?
Thank you!

Good news I have receieved my passport 24th Feb 2010 and thank you all for the help and support.
@ goodssb - I was told in HO letter 2 bank statement were missing and its not matching the pay slip and so they had reduced my points. To my understanding i had kept all the bank statements but then I was doing it in a rush for some reason. During the appeal i had covered the missing and new savings account which is different from the earlier. Hope this not confusing.
