galileo wrote:Hey Guys.
I am going to submit my docs for the Tier 1 program next week, but I also have a valid UK tourist visa valid till
March 25th 2010.
Will this be an impediment to my Tier 1 application?
Thanks in advance.

Americans do not need tourists visa for the UK so I presume you are not Americans. Are you a permanent resident in the USA as you normally must apply from your country origin.galileo wrote:As a clarification, Im applying from the US. I had just applied for tourist purposes but at the last minute I applied for the Tier 1. Im not planning on using the tourist visa to travel at all since my tourist plans have changed and decided to go in for Tier 1.
That is not true. You do not need to be a permanent resident to apply for Tier 1, at the same time you should not be on a short term visit visa. You should be a legal (not necessarily permanent) resident. Please see this link.republique wrote: Americans do not need tourists visa for the UK so I presume you are not Americans.

I did not say he had to be a permanent resident, I asked if he had PR to obtain some idea of his/her status since normally one applies from their country of origin. I mentioned PR since most people tend to be vague and need to be prompted with formal terms so you can get useful info from them.mvent00 wrote:That is not true.

You said "must apply from your country of origin". If you see above link that I have posted from UKBA, PR status does not matter. What matters is that one should be a legal resident to apply for Tier 1. We have seen several examples on this very forum that people got Tier 1, while they were working abroad. If one can prove that he/she is a legal resident in a country, he/she can apply successfully there for Tier 1.republique wrote: I did not say he had to be a permanent resident, I asked if he had PR to obtain some idea of his/her status since normally one applies from their country of origin.

I said NORMALLY you must apply from your country origin. (the use of normally indicates there are exceptions)mvent00 wrote:You said "must apply from your country of origin".

Applications for visit visas and EEA Family Permits for the UK can be made at any visa application centre or visa section. Other applications should be made at a visa application centre or visa section in your home country, or where you are normally and legally resident.
This forum is all about providing the right information, to help members prepare for Tier 1 applications, not making them confused with simple issues.republique wrote: I said NORMALLY you must apply from your country origin. (the use of normally indicates there are exceptions)
I already explained why I threw out PR so try to read more judiciously in the future.
If anyone read the above quote, first thing will come in mind that he/she should head back to his/her country of origin to apply for Tier 1, which is wrong. It was a misguiding statement that I have corrected, so please do not get into an unnecessary discussion.republique wrote:Americans do not need tourists visa for the UK so I presume you are not Americans.

which is not straight forward..(the use of normally indicates there are exceptions)
Nope. You guys are wrong. Look up the definition of normally. Look at how it is used in the sentence, as a qualifier. It is a well written sentence. It is written succinctly, maybe too succinct for you. If you have a lack of competence in English grammar or you have poor comprehension skills such that you misunderstand it or you felt mislead, then I suggest you take a class for it. It is, in fact, very simple which I guess that's why it is has gone over your head. If you are going to get your knickers twisted up based on how I wrote my brilliant comment, I think there are other people on this forum who dearly need help from the Grammar Police which you are not.tvn_ramesh wrote:I completely agree with mvent00...republique wrote:It is only misleading if you can't read well.mvent00 wrote:This forum is all about providing the right information, to help members prepare for Tier 1 applications, not making them confused with simple issues.republique wrote: I said NORMALLY you must apply from your country origin.
