Hi Vigil, Push Thank you for the reply. Yes nothing wrong with the website, I think its my service provider who is not able to resolve it. I have raised a service request with them.

I might have to travel to India for some work for couple of weeks and I am not sure if I can travel after applying ...

YES, You are right.

Enter WorkPermit details.

Yes you can make early extension but remember visa will be extended from the date of your application.

I came to UK on HSMP and did 2 extensions now, I am doing contracting from day 1 (under my limited company) and had no problems in extending my visa. Appoint a good accountant and life will be easy.

Yes as of now you can do as many as extensions to Tier1, you can extend it after a year but need to justify them if they ask you why you are exdending it so early. You will get further extension from the date of your application expiring previous visa. In general cases they grant you visa till ILR ...

@nfoote: Document list you mentioned should be fine for previous earnings. I have submitted the same set + P60 as I was getting P60 due to higher salary level.

If you have not received biometric residence permit then select that option on the form and submit the application, if they want to do biometric again they will let you know.

Yes these should be your WP details -D2 D3 and D4

I guess it should be fine if you have not received salary or dividend for a particular month. In my case I did not take the dividend for 2 months but still I have submitted all the dividend vouchers and salary slips (for those months for which I did not take any dividend I mentioned the amount as 00 ...
