Nope still the old one.

The previous earnings band is incorrect (should go up to 150,000 pounds now for maximum points), and there isn't a bachelors degree for qualificiations for initial applications.

Also note that the 20 points is awarded for 29 and under, not 30 and under, as per the new points table.

2.2 Choose one of the options from the following to confirm the points you are claiming for age
Put a cross (x) in the relevant box
under 30 years of age (20 points) 30 to 34 years of age (10 points)
35 to 39 years of age (5 points)

My apologies. I think my browser was caching the old form. I've found the new form

Thanks again.

Edit: I take that back. I think there's something wrong with internet explorer on the ukvisas website. It works well with firefox, but not with IE8. Strange. Even reset to default and tried on many different machines.

The new policy guidance is out.

The new policy guidance is out.

Well that was a jampacked hour. Filled out the online application, read through the new policy guidance to confirm the similarities with the old ones in terms of evidence. Then completed the online application, and paid and booked biometrics for Thursday.

Now to print out everything including appendix 1 at work on the colour laser printer, and send off everything after my biometrics appointment on Thursday!

Wish me luck

Good luck!

Was it just those two 7 page forms that you filled?

No 75 page form like the applying from within UK applicants?

What was the background color for the photos you submitted?

What was the background color for the photos you submitted?

The online application automatically fills out the VAF9 Form for me (the really 75 page one which asks all the personal details). So I just need to fill out the the Appendix 1 for Tier 1 General (7 page form) and submit that with my supporting documentation. The online option is the only option to applicants in my country as there isn't a office you can apply to as in India and the UK itself.

Background of my photo was creme. That was the only option available since its a creme wall. The photo should in theory be acceptable since I already submitted it in a previous Tier 5 YMS visa, and it was accepted.

The VAF9 on the Visa services site for me (Applying from India - first time), is just 7 pages.

I hope I'm not going wrong. Is there something I am missing?

Sorry, I'm getting confused over my forms. There is a 75 Page PBS Migrant form that usually you fill out, and a Appendix 1 Form (7 pages).

Every applicant needs to fill out the Appendix form for thier chosen visa. The 75 Page PBS Migrant form can be filled out online for some countries, and other countries require it to be hand written.

Isnt the 75 page form the one to be used for applications made INSIDE UK?

I am too confused here.
As per my understanding goes we need to fill two forms for application outside UK

1. Personal Details Form
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... 03073/vaf9

2. PBS appendix 1
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... sappendix1

THe PBS appendix clearly states this below

YOU MUST SUBMIT A PAPER COPY OF THIS APPENDIX WITH YOUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. ENSURE YOU ALSO COMPLETE THE PERSONAL DETAILS FORM EITHER ON PAPER OR ON LINE. YOU SHOULD SIGN THE DECLARATION ANDSUBMIT THIS WITH YOUR OTHER DOCUMENTS

Please let me know if we need to fill any other form?

Hey i believe VAF9 form is a 7-page form that asks you the personal details.

The first question on the VAF9 form asks about the Appendix form (again 7-page form) which is the one where you list the points you claim.

These are the only 2 forms you need to fill in incase you are applying from OUTSIDE UK.

However, applicants from some countries could also apply online. Is this the 75-page form you are talking about?

Am i right? Seniors??

[GeneNZ]

We're all getting confused over the names of the forms. Okay this is I believe it to be:

If applying from OUTSIDE the UK. Then:
1) You must fill out the VAF9 Form (dated March 2009), which contains all your personal information and history (e.g. name/passport number/travel history). In some countries (like mine) you must fill out this form and pay ONLINE. In other countries you will need to fill this out by hand.

2) In all applications, you must submit (handwritten) the Appendix 1, which indicates the points and attributes you score for the Tier 1 General visa. This should match the PBS Calculator.

The 75 page form I was getting confused with the VAF9 form, which has the personal details. Sorry. The 75-page form is used when applying from within the UK. So disregard all those comments.

Just as a side note only for those applying from New Zealand: if you applying from New Zealand then you must also fill out the Consent for Information form to allow the British High Commission to interact with the NZ Police. I don't know about other countries.
