I have started reading this never ending form Tier 1 (General) version 04/11.
I have following set of queries. Please need your suggestions/inputs.
1) How the application form should be printed. Color or black and white print. Sorry for this stupid question.
2) How should the application be filled. Blue or Black ball point pen. Any preference with only capital letters ?
3) Check boxes : Should I put X or just provide a tick mark ?
4) There are plenty of option which is mandatory or if applicable. However there are few sections which are not relavant at the moment and can be kept blank for my case. For example:
Page 8, A19 - Please give full details of any dependants’ applications submitted with this form (It doesn't say if applicable)
Current Situation : I have dependents in my home country and I will therefore apply dependent's application from overseas but not now. Should I still mention my dependendents or not ?
5) Page 7 : Circle amount
This one has options : £ 1000, £1300, £900 etc.,
Clarification : It doesn;t have check boxes. Should I simply round off £ 1300 option ?
6) Page 13 : Home telephone number, Mobile phone number, Work tele phone
Current Situation : I don't have any landline currently at my address, Work telephone (I am self employed mostly work at home and less in office). Should I keep simply blank ?
7) Page 15 : Applican't main occupation.
I am an IT contractor and get paid for the work I do. Below are the 2 options which I found very close to my profession.Which one should I choose?
Science and technology professionals
Science and technology associate professionals.
Page 16 : C1 Under what nationality did the applicant enter UK ?
Sorry for asking this, is it the applicant's home country ?
9) Page 21: D9 For what purpose did the applicant enter the Uk ?
Situation : I didn't had any job at that moment when I entered UK for the first time, started searching for the jobs and finally landed with a one oppurtunity. What should key in there ?
10) Page 33 : H4 Qualification assessment.
It has 4 options which says mandatory, however only 2 are relavant for me.
Original certificate of award
Evidence previously provided with the applicant’s initial Tier 1 (General) application
Can I tick only above 2 options ?
11) Page 37- 38 : Evidence of earnings section --- J8
Problem : Same as above section. There are various options which seems to be mandatory. However, only 4 options are relavant for my case.
12) Page 53 (Proof of documents to be mentioned): Section 7
Marriage or civil certificates ?
Current Situation : Certificate is issued by Mandal revenue officer (Govt of India) and native language instead of English. Will this be okay ? Or document has to be transcripted ?
13) My dependents are in India and they never entered to UK till date. I will be submitting the dependent's application from overseas once my extn gets approved. Will this be a problem for my extn application process ? I have read one of the posts by chundurb in this forum where case worker has given the refusal comments as :
How to tackle the situation ? Will it repeat in my case as well. There is no rule as such in policy guidelines. Pls clarify.*** You are married and not applied for dependants, assuming your family staying in India. Have you had any relationship in UK ...
**** Expecting these details to be provided if I appeal. They mention about the Human Rights and questions like is there would be a social threat if leave not granted.....
