Tier I Second Extension - Application - Section D

[darkhorse10]

I will be applying for my second extension in a month. I was going through the application filling it, and found Section D a bit confusing.

D1. Did the applicant obtain EC or a Visa before entering UK?

Actually, I did obtain EC when I entered for the first time, but is this question refering to my first entry or the first extension?

Or should I answer NO and go to D5 and then to D11?

Thanks,
Nik

Yes D1 is referring to when you first got EC to enter the UK as a T1 G migrant.

Thanks. I got another question/confusion.

I have changed my bank accounts in the past 12 months, so my salary was paid into two separate accounts in the last 12 months. I have got the statements for the complete 12-month payslips.

Do I need to provide any other documentation because the 12-month period is distributed in two different banks?

No. Just take relevant bank statements for past 12 months. And, make sure you highlight the net pay in your payslip and relevant bank statement for an easy reference of your case worker. You should be fine.

Thanks Longshift.

Going through the Section D again, i still suspect that D1 refers to first EC application ONLY for the first extension, but from the second extension application it sounds like D1(NO) to D5(NO) to D11.

Correct me if I am wrong. What is the case when it is D1(NO) to D5(NO) to D11.

Sorry If I am being paranoid.

I have same question:

This is my first extension.

I came to UK on Tier 2 & switched to TIER 1.

So in this case I should be giving TIER 2 details right ?

My answer still remains the same. It doesn't matter how many times you have applied to extend your leave to remain, the question (D1) clearly asks whether you obtained Entry Clearance before entering the UK, which you did. The form is designed to cater for extension applications, which an applicant can make any number of times. The answer to this question will remain the same for each application.

My answer given to the OP should answer your question. Thereby for Question D1 your answer would be "yes".

Note also that if you are not aware of this, EC can only be obtained outside of the UK. Once you are in the UK, what you apply for by a extension application is "Leave to Remain".

Mine is also a similar case. I was on a Tier 2 after which I moved to Tier 1.So the entry clearance date should be the date on which you entered UK first on Tier 2. Am I right?

Yes, as has already been answered in my two previous responses.
