Has anyone who applied after 15 March received the decision yet?
From 13th April, HO expects to process apps from 19 March onwards.

Rajatche33 is the latest applicant who successfully heard from HO on his application sent on 13th March

It seems HO is taking a week from start of consideration phase to deliver (though 13 March is a single sample point as of now). My app was received on 26 March. I hope it enters the consideration phase on 20 Apr.

Thanks Ramesh. You guys are incredibly supportive.

congrats to all those who've got their visa and all the best to those waiting,

I have a quick question. - I applied for my tier 1 visa on 23/03/09 and demonstrated more than Â£800 from 20/12/08 to 23/03/09 everyday -

I have since maintained that balance everyday in my account - now i am really short of money and am thinking of withdrawing some money from my account - would i be okay since i have already submitted my application>?

thanks for you help !

It's generally advisable to maintain Â£800 in ur acct as per HO guideline although they ask for 3mths statement prior to date of ur application. U need to demonstrate that u have sufficient funds to support urself, so best to ensure minimum balance in ur acct is Â£800.

Aspirant09..
In your application do you think anything which is not straight forward n may require checking from HO?? If you think there is something that might require checking than waiting is the only solution and not to worry...

mine was also WP--> Tier1 n took 1week more than usually other guys who applied during the same time.. but never been to AFC.. try to call them again and chk status.. sometimes it quickly changes from AFC to UC..

Hi
I have not sent an Urgent treatment letter to HO. Mine is quite straight forward so it didn't take time for me.

thanks

Personally i dont think there should be any confusion, but i can understand if case worker is taking little longer as i have used Indian as well as UK earnings and I am not sure if Uplift ratio should have been used at all or not? Apart from that i dont think there should be anything confusing.

I tried calling this evening also and the status is still AFC.The lady on the phone could not tell anything else.

Aspriant09:
No worries as long as the application is in process it is good and it will take few more days more that's all as they say this will also pass.. wait n watch..

P.S: i dont have good idea or info abt uplift ratio rule.. so unable to comment on it.. wish you goodluck to hear some good positive news soon..

Yes, thats' the no.. you need to redail again and again and again sometimes if u r lucky you will get connected on 2-3redails or 9-10redails.. but after that you will be in queue for 5-9mins so dont be surprised on being kept in queue.. there are lots of ppl dailing in each day.. so it makes sense..
i donno of any email id status reporting.. goodluck

Hello...

Special thanks to tvn_ramesh and everyone.

Timelines..

Category: HSMP to Tier 1 (Extention)
Applied: 18 Feb 2009
Reached HO as Dated on Ref. letter : 19th Feb 2009
Visa Expired: 5 March 2009
Visa Status:
Before 2nd Apr(No idea abt exact date) - Recv. call from Homeoffice to my employer.
2nd Apr (6 weeks completed) - Awaiting Further Consideration
3rd Apr - Under Consideration
6th Apr - Under Consideration (Morning & Evening)
7th Apr - Under Consideration (Morning & Evening)
8th Apr - Under Consideration (Morning & Evening)
9th Apr - Under Consideration (Morning & Evening)
14th Apr - Under Consideration (Morning & Evening)

My case is straight forward except Lost passport....(Sent all documents which supports current legal status as new passport doesn't contain any visa stamp as passport lost in Nov 2008 and took time to get new passport).

Request to everyone who waiting for Visa - If possible please update current status regularly so that everyone can get some idea what's going on...(Even I am doing for first time

)

Don't have any idea why my case is UC from last 6 days ...might be HO checking, Is my passport is used illegally anywhere ?

Or may be my case worker went on easter holiday.

Wait and watch..that's what we can do now...specially after watching T_Mahmood's case. Congratulations T_Mahmmod !!

Good luck Chetan, just a quick question....are you aware of any verification done with your employer by HO? Just checking how often do they do employer verification as my employer hasnt been contacted yet.

Thanks
