Which country did you apply from?krk98 wrote:Hi
Is there any one who has applied Tier 1 PBS General online and paid fee online before Dec 23rd outside UK, and given biometrics as well as supporting documents after Dec 23rd?
I have applied online onDec 22nd and booked biometrics on Jan 5th. But yesterday (Jan 5th), the British embassy has declined to take my documents and biometrics saying that they have stopped accepting after Dec 23rd.
Please reply if anyone was able to apply after Dec 23rd outside UK.
Thanks,

You cant pay fee online in India, so you may not have the chance now.destinyrules13 wrote:hi,
same is the case of mine.. i had also applied online from india on 22 dec and booked appointment of 5 jan 2010. but when i went to vfs yesterday with all my documents, they refused to take my application
i think now, we have to accept the hard fact that tier-1 is closed for us and nothing can be done!! (
Patience. =) I don't know how long it should take but it's still Jan 6th there. 1-2 days isn't that much time.bombie wrote:However, it's now morning of 7-Jan and I haven't received a mail saying they have begun reviewing my application. Is that how we get notified of the status of our application - via them sending me email updates?
This is very unsettling news because Ireland does have payments online. (as shown here)krk98 wrote:Hi amuk
I applied from Republic of Ireland.
They didnt accept my documents though I paid fee on Dec 21st and submitted online application also on Dec 21st.
Thank you, krk98. I have not applied yet, but I did contact WorldBridge after payment and received the following response on an inquiry regarding whether my application will considered to be valid or not:krk98 wrote:Yes, I made it clear I paid online before Dec 23rd. But the immigration officer insisted that documents and biometrics should also be submitted before Dec 23rd. I couldnt find any way to contact UK embassy. Every query raised should go through worldbridge. They forward it to UK embassy in Dublin. In which country were you able to apply even after Dec 23rd?
Edit: I rescheduled appointment to Jan 9th and will postpone for another week.[...] As your request concerned due to the payment effected, the appointment on the 29th of December 2010 for the visa application is still valid and due.
I will know that on Wednesday!krk98 wrote:amuk, Were you able to submit your documents? Did they accept your application?
I'm hoping they'll understand that when I submit my documents on Wednesday.From the 23 December 2010 the UK Border Agency will no longer be accepting Tier 1 (General) visa applications unless paid for before 23 December 2010.
Well - yes, they did.krk98 wrote:Hi amuk
any news? Did they accept your application.
Wow vivekspa, that is incredibly fast! I sent my docs in on 7th Jan (Sydney, Australia), and haven't heard anything except they've begun processing my application. Congrats!vivekspa wrote:I went for Biometrics on 7th of January 2011 and Sent across my documents on the 10th of Jan. I received my stamped passport on the 20th.
Thanks bombie! The Embassy at L.A is surprisingly quick. I was taken aback myselfbombie wrote:Wow vivekspa, that is incredibly fast!

My gosh. I was reading over your earlier posts in this thread and I can't believe they didn't accept your application even though you paid online before 23-Dec. Something isn't right, because I and others in this thread submitted our docs well after 23-Dec.krk98 wrote:hi vivekspa.
My bad. No I was not able to submit my tier1 overseas. I tried contacting british embassy, but no response. Finally, they refunded my application fee without even considering my appeal.
Congrats to you guys and good luck
