[tcpip_helper]

Hello all

I've few queries regarding my Tier1 General (HSW) visa application,please help me out, Push, Ramesh and other seniors plz help.

1> My original degree and transcript is hard coated with plastic lamination, is that a problem? I also have a letter from university confirming my degree and english language.

2> I am showing two jobs, one full time and one part time, one employer pays via BACS and one via OTR(online transaction) my questions are

2(a) do i need to explain how many hours and days I work in both jobs including my timing?

2(b) in my both jobs some times it happened that payslip date is different to the date in my bank statement, for e.g payslip date is 31/08/09 and salary credited into the bank via BACS/OTR is 03/09/09, also few times salary credited into my bank few days earlier then payslip date(for e.g in xmas times ). is that a problem?

2(c) on few occasions my gross salary is same but net salary is different, for e.g aug gross is 850 and net is 800 and July gross salary is also 850 but net salary is 790? is that a problem

2(d) on couple of occasions i've an extra entry "others" on my payslips and amount credited is for e.g 100.00, this other entry is an additional entry with Gross salary, so i 've two entry one is gross and one is "others"? is this a problem b/z i think my accountant made some mistakes in previous months by paying me less and he rectified it by paying extra next month and showed in the payslips with "others" entry

2(e) i've 3 different types of tax codes on my last 12 month's payslip? is this a problem

2(f) if your employers pays you via OTR(online transaction) is this an issue?

3> in my last 12 month transactions the first few months i was overdrawn but last 7-8 months are ok and well above 2-3k, i am using the same account for maintenance and earning proof? any problem?

4> also 7-8 months ago i had a single transaction of 9k, will they ask me to explain this large single transaction?

5> in 2003 my first application for entry clearance was refused then i made a fresh application and got entry clearance , i did mention in my new application that i got refusal last time, then i came to UK and had 3-4 times visa extensions but here in UK i never mentioned that visa refusal and never had any problem, currently i m on Tier1 PSW, do you think on my tier 1 general application i should mention that refusal which happened 5 years ago?

I am very grateful for all those who take some time out to answer my queries.

2> I am showing two jobs, one full time and one part time, one employer pays via BACS and one via OTR(online transaction) my questions are

2(a) do i need to explain how many hours and days I work in both jobs including my timing? No. But mention in your cover letter that you have two jobs i.e. perm and temp along with the earnings from your both jobs

2(b) in my both jobs some times it happened that payslip date is different to the date in my bank statement, for e.g payslip date is 31/08/09 and salary credited into the bank via BACS/OTR is 03/09/09, also few times salary credited into my bank few days earlier then payslip date(for e.g in xmas times ). is that a problem? No. As long as amount matches in payslips and bank statement it is fine.

2(c) on few occasions my gross salary is same but net salary is different, for e.g aug gross is 850 and net is 800 and July gross salary is also 850 but net salary is 790? is that a problemNo. As long as amount matches in payslips and bank statement it is fine.

2(d) on couple of occasions i've an extra entry "others" on my payslips and amount credited is for e.g 100.00, this other entry is an additional entry with Gross salary, so i 've two entry one is gross and one is "others"? is this a problem b/z i think my accountant made some mistakes in previous months by paying me less and he rectified it by paying extra next month and showed in the payslips with "others" entry No. As long as amount matches in payslips and bank statement it is fine.You can also take letter from your accountant for the same.

2(e) i've 3 different types of tax codes on my last 12 month's payslip? is this a problem No. As long as you are paying tax you are fine. Well..to be honest your payslips amount should match bank statement

2(f) if your employers pays you via OTR(online transaction) is this an issue? No. Hope description of the transaction links the transaction back to your employer. If not explain it in your cover letter.

3> in my last 12 month transactions the first few months i was overdrawn but last 7-8 months are ok and well above 2-3k, i am using the same account for maintenance and earning proof? any problem? No. as long as you have sufficient maintenance funds in your account.

4> also 7-8 months ago i had a single transaction of 9k, will they ask me to explain this large single transaction? No. They don't bother about the money in your account.

5> in 2003 my first application for entry clearance was refused then i made a fresh application and got entry clearance , i did mention in my new application that i got refusal last time, then i came to UK and had 3-4 times visa extensions but here in UK i never mentioned that visa refusal and never had any problem, currently i m on Tier1 PSW, do you think on my tier 1 general application i should mention that refusal which happened 5 years ago? Yes. You should provide all details required by form. Do not hide any details which can haunt you in future.

I am very grateful for all those who take some time out to answer my queries.

Hi chetanojha

thanks for your reply, in response to your answer for question 5, in Tier1 General form there is no question where I can declare my previous entry clearance refusal, do you think i should declare that in my cover letter or by any other means.?

and for question 2(f) The description does say the name of my employer, i hope that s ok?

thanks

2(f) : Yes that's fine.

Refusal: I remember somewhere in form, it does ask you whether you have been denied visa in past. I might be wrong but Can you please check again. If I were you and if it is not asked anywhere in form, then i would not provide any additional info which could go against me.

Hi, i've gone through the form again and i couldnt find any question asking if you have been denied visa in past, so i wont mention my refusal in my cover letter either.

one more question, in the form in section G which states that

G. HSMP Forum Ltd. Judicial REview,
G1. does the applicant consider him to be covered by the HSMP forum ltd. Judicial Review Judgement of 8 April 2008?

Yes
NO

G2. Does the applicant wish to have the application assessed in accodance with paragraph 39-42 of the HSMP forum ltd. Judicial Review: policy document?

Yes
NO.

since i am on Tier1 PSW and nothing to do with Hsmp, i think for both questions answer is NO, am i correct?
