I am applying from India and I am confused with the list of forms to be submitted.

Thanks for the links Sushdmehta and appreciate the quick response.

I read thru primary applicants & dependents forms requirement... here are the forms list..
1. Application form VAF9 - PBS Migrant
2. Application form VAF10 - PBS Dependant
3. PBS Appendix 1 General Migrant self assessment form (Appendix 1)

please correct me if I am wrong with the list..

But the UKBA website has a .pdf file Tier 1(GENERAL) version 07/10 --> APPLICATION FOR AN INITIAL GRANT OF LEAVE (SWITCHING) OR AN EXTENSION OF LEAVE UNDER TIER 1 (GENERAL)
MAIN APPLICANT

This contains a form that is of a different format...

[geriatrix]

The forms on UKBA site are for people applying / extending from within the UK. Not for you as you are applying from India.

You may refer to the policy guidances on the UKBA website, but the forms there are not for you. Use forms on UKVisas website.

Immanual2010, all I can say is what you refer to (and quote) as bank statement is actually a letter from the bank which may be useful only in certain circumstances.

Thanks for the caution. sushdmehta, this time my doubts are about the previous earnings. I read through the guidance document, But still would be happy if clarified....

1. Previous earnings overseas should be converted to GBP against the conversion rate as on the last date of claim period. Say 12 month period is 01/07/2009 to 30/06/2010, the conversion rates would be as of 30/06/2010.

2. Maintenance fund say has been maintained from 18/05/2010 to 23/08/2010. The date for applying Tier 1 Visa is 27/08/2010. Then the conversion rate will be as of date 27/08/2010


Thanks for the support....

[Immanuel 2010]

On which date do you wish to travel to the UK


1. Can someone please correct me if I am wrong " This is the future date in the next three months from the date of application"

Thanks in advance

Dear All forum members,

Thanks for all your guidance and support. By the grace of God I have received my Tier 1 Visa stamped to me and my wife as dependent. Visa starts from the requested date 25/11/2010 (3months ahead).

Lessons learnt:
1. Plan your application dates
2. Don't hesitate to ask questions and clarify doubts
3. Read the forum well for all available posts.
4. When you have a commune of helping natured people supporting regularly in this forum, it would be insane to spend on consultancies/agencies.

Good Luck to others...

[Immanuel 2010]

Dear Moderators (Sush & Aruni).. My special thanks for clarifying my doubts and supporting me.


And to add Sush, you are quick to answer and indeed very helpful... great job...
