Just for curiosity, why are you migrating from Australia to UK? I mean in the UK Australia seems like a heaven and people are thinking to migrate to Australia since its economy is better and more pay / job opportunities. Is the job situation not good or you're migrating for some other reasons?bombie wrote:Hi All
I got my Tier One visa approved. I had paid online 22-Dec but didn't send my docs through till 7-Jan. My visa validity dates were 22/3/11 - 22/3/13.
I sent a mail to BHC Canberra asking them to have the start date changed to 25/4/11, as this would be 3 months from the issue date (which I took to being 25/1/11 as this is when I got the approval email).
This is the response I got:
Dear Bombie
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Entry Clearance Officer could only validate your visa 3 months from the closure date of the Tier 1 route which was the 22 Dec 2010.
Regards
Now where exactly in the rules does it say this? I had mentioned ECB9.5 [http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/ecbasi ... #103848682] in my mail, so can they ignore the issue date and use the Tier One closure date instead?
Australia is the best country in th world! Nothing wrong with the economy, lifestyle, weather or people down here.... In fact I am paid very well and live a rather fancy lifestyle, but, Australia is my home and well, home is home. It will always be there. I consider myself lucky that I have the freedom and choice to travel between UK and Australia (both countries have strong ties to each other) - and not have to worry about culture shock too much. Besides, I don't know if I'll live in UK forever, but this visa lets me take a shot at it...and decide later. I want to see more of the world and having the UK as a base will make that easier. And even if things don't work out in the UK, its not the end of the world if I have to return to Australia.viki83 wrote:Just for curiosity, why are you migrating from Australia to UK?
