[nitmech]

Hi,
Just now I checked in the VFS website for tracking visa application and its showing "Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on 02 Jul 2008".

Dont know its "Approved" or "Rejected".

Somehow I will hold my breath tomorrow until the courier reaches my home.

Hi All,
find below the list of documents I have submitted.


1) Age - Passport
2) Earnings - 12 Month Payslip signed and stamped by my employer + 12 months bank statement showing salary credit, also stamped and signed by ICICI bank.
3) Qualification - Masters Degree Original Certificate
4) English language - IELTS test report
5) maintanance fund - 3 months statement from HSBC, signed and stamped.
6) Accomodation - Nothing. It was not even asked to me.
7) Job advertisement. - Nothing. It was not even asked to me.

In vfs, they asked my current employer offer letter. I told them clearly that it is no where mentioned in Guide. Then they hv not said anything.

Nowadays, I found lot of posts where people telling, vfs asked about their accomodation and job details in UK. I dont know if they have started this things now. I would request the applicants, when it is asked by vfs guys, can u people ask them by which rule in the PBS Tier 1 guide, they need these douments? if they are still asking, ask them to give it in written format. I believe, until and unless it is mentioned in the rulebook, they just cant harras us creating their own brain breaking rules.

Hi...

Thanks for the reply, i was also confused due to that reason that some are asking accommodation details...job details...and certificate from X, XII...etc.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thnx for sharing an information with us. Did u submitted any source of evidence for maintanance fund from where u got all the money in to ur account.

did u submitted any contact details of the employee.

I know VFS guys asking so many things when people called them. Nothing is mentioned on PBS guideline or tier 1 guideline regarding the accomodation proof n job advertisement but then also they ask many things I dont know why.

I think u have submitted the documents which is been asked or mentioned in the guidelines and u got the reward as well.

Hi,

I applied for my PBS Tier 1 application in June from UK.( 05/Jun/08 )

What is the number to check status of application?

I am calling 0114-207 4074 but 99% of the time it is engaged and 1% of the time when it connects if I select PBS Tier 1 option it disconnects.

If anyone knows number to call in UK please let me know.

thanks

From within UK: 0800 587 5572 and 0114 207 4074. These are the only 2 numbers. Needless to say, patience is the keyword.

Hi,

Sorry about the duplicate posts. This time I have got through !!!!

I applied for PBS Tier 1 on 04/June/08.
Recvd Reference number on 05/June/08
Payment processed on 05/June/08.

Status as on 03/July/08: applications till 22/May being processed currently.

I had applied from within UK.

Observing from all the posts in this forums as well as other sources, I think it is taking faster time to process from India than UK.

Also if one has a job offer in UK, than if you are applying from outside the UK, your application would be approved within 3-4 weeks.

Maybe because people don't always mention whether they are applying in UK or in their home country or one fails to notice this small detail. e.g.- every author in this thread except you applied in India.

Processing time-lines differ from country to country. Since you applied from within UK, it is going to be a long wait for you.
