I wanted to comment and thank the author, good stuff
Great Blog with intresting Posts, Top!
For all those of you who do not have sufficient maintenance funds in your single account : the good news is that you can show more than one personal bank account to be able to meet the GBP 2800 or GBP 800 balance in bank for last three months. ENJOY…
I must say, that I can not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my IMHO, which indeed could be very wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?
Hi Rock how can u confirm dis that we can use multiple accounts? and second thing i have one account in UK and one in INDIA can i show both for my maintenenance fuind requirment?
I am realy fall in deep tension regarding the up coming so called change in tier 1. I am a BDS Dr. having 2 yrs experience, My education is 4yrs BDS and one(1) yr internship. so I am now eligible to apply for UK tier-1,,But the fact is that as a 4yrs BDS dentiest i will be eligible to apply for uk after 1st april or not? Means, the rules to have Mesters degree after 1st april will be also valid for the medical students like me or not? Actualy my bank solvency will be mature to submit after MAY month. Now what i can do? Please give me your kind suggestion as i believe that a little suggestion of yours will be a lot for me. Hope my inbox will be proud of your mail in the possible earliest time.
raihantan@gmail.com
all MBBS or BDS is 4yrs course and 1yr internship included. will the masters is also required for for me? that means after completing FCPS or any other Masters degree like Public health I have to try for UK? Does the UK govt think that a FCPS completed one will try for UK without having any job offer and knowing the renewal hessal of their rules?
In the job sector the europeans will get the 1st preferance and the immigrants will be like standby player. According to this circumstances I seriously would like to know that what should be justice for me like all teir-1 applicant? why they have opend the windows for the skilled educated people toward a unsecure life? Isnt the rules is the indirect expression or anounce to all that ” you people need not come UK ”
Sorry for write direct view, But my arges toward the UK govt please rearrange the rules and let us the chance to be a part of yours as well as let our brain to believe that we are helping the EU econoy besides the Eu citizens, not less than any part. Please make the procedure easy and let us serve your econoy as well.
wish you all the best and a return mail or reply.

Rajesh,
I have already applied and got visa within 12 days. I have submitted both sets (set 1 -5 documents + set 2 -6 documents) as mentioned in my comment above.
Regards,
Jigs.
Hi Jigs and all, thanks for the list of documents. I have couple of questions for tier1:
1)I have been working at one of the UK Universities already and my visa is valid until this August. So do I also need to show the language proficiency or medium of instruction certificate?
2)I have got only 2 blank pages left not on both sides of a single paper. So is this enough for Tier1 stamping or should I apply for a new passport. I can apply for a new one but I have not much time. Please suggest.
Many Thanks,
Sachin
