I got my Tier 1 visa on 4th Jan (valid from 4th Jan, 2010). However, I am not planning to go to UK (because of some personal reasons) till May or June.
Is it possible to appeal to UK embassy to change my visa start date? If so, what is the procedure?
I talked to VFS today and they said it is "preferable" to make an entry in UK within 3 months of getting the visa otherwise your entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer. Is this correct?
No, it is not mandatory.stalwar wrote:Hi Guys,

VFS is a hope less bunch of people. They all give wrong information. If you follow what they say you will end up loosing your life. vfs is document collection center only, they are not supposed to advice but they are doing it because people are there asking. This is how modern day 'sages' are born. My initial application was refused only because I followed their advice.stalwar wrote:Hi Guys,

Yes you can ask ECO to amend visa valid date.stalwar wrote:Hi Guys,
