Tier 1 visa exension forms questions

[raomvj]

Hi all,
I am applying my Tier 1 extension next week. Can anyone kindly answer my questions?. Thanks in advance.

B11. Home office reference number?
Is it 'Our reference' (6 digits) in HSMP approval letter? I got HSMP approval letter on 07 Apr 2008.

B14. Points Based System migrant reference number?
I got the HSMP approval letter in Apr 2008. Applied EC in Sep 2008 and got the visa valid from 01 Dec 2008. Where do I find PBS ref no?

D4. Please enter the reference number on the entry clearance or visa which can be found in the applicant's passport or travel doc.

Is it VAF no. on the visa? or number which is in red color (9 digits) starting with 00? or something else?

Dependant:

My wife applied her intial EC visa in Hyderabad, India.
F13. Give details of the British diplomatic post involved if the application was made abroad?
I think British embassy is in 'Chennai'. Place of issue on Visa is showing 'Chennai'. What could be the answer to this question?

Maintenance section:
Do I need to answer this question?
Maintenance certified by the sponsor
K4 The A-rate sponsor has confirmed on the certificate of sponsorship that where necessary they will maintain and accommodate the family member for a month

Hi all,

Notes from Tier1 extension Guidance:
"Payslips: These should be either formal payslips or on company headed paper. Where formal payslips are produced on plain paper they must be stamped and signed by the employer."

My doubts is, I am permanent employee and get my monthly payslips by Royal Mail. They clearly show my employer name. Should I get these payslips signed and stamped by my employer?

Thanks

Hi all,

I will be sending my Tier1 (General) extension application by post on Friday. Can anyone kindly check whether I am missing anything?

Main applicant:
Passport
2 Photos in sealed envelop
Payslips covering from Sep 2010 to Aug 2011 (12 payslips)
Bank statement covering from July 2010 to 9th Sep 2011 (It also covers maintenance funds starting from 8th June'11 to 8th Sep'11)
I lost October 2010 payslip. Got the copy from payroll with their sign and stamp.
Letter from HR confirming my employment and total gross from Sep 2010 to Aug 2011

Dependant:
Passport
2 Photos in sealed envelop
Marriage certificate

I am not sending my Degree certificates and English language proof as I submitted them with my initial application. Please comment.

I have a doubt in paying the fee by Cheque or Debit card. I have sufficient funds for fee in my a/c. Which one do you suggest?

Thanks
JRao
