You mean lie. I'm not going to be doing that. If I don't get PR then I don't. Again, this is just as a warning in the hope that it can help others.

Thanks, but to be honest, I'm not sure this is the best advice. Doing as you propose above would inevitably cause delay as I would expect the immigration officer would want to know that the funds I have just transferred were mine. Otherwise what is to stop someone transferring money to me in one...

In terms of the first question, I was a (trainee) CA for three years whilst studying. I am including this time as employment, as I was employed at the time. If you were employed, and performing duties that coincide with your NOC code, then personally I would include this as employment.

Well, I have neither a letter nor statements, as explained above. I struggle to see how that will be accepted, but I will try. I just wanted to urge people to confirm with their current bank what evidence they are willing to provide. Had I checked months ago, I would've moved bank to avoid this...

Just wanted to post a bit of advice to those who are in the EE pool (or are considering entering). If you are yet to receive ITA, check with your bank NOW that they are able/willing to provide the necessary proof of funds. I assumed this would not be much trouble. I have an everyday account...

Thanks. Given that I only used that name for around 8 years, and haven't used it since I was 10. Is there any reason to highlight this? I have my birth certificate, and my parent's marriage certificate, so I can evidence the change to my current name. There is no formal document I am aware of...

I have an account that I set up solely to hold my POF amount. I am obtaining the required letter from the bank. I also have a current account with another bank but this bank is refusing to issue a letter. I am reluctant to submit bank statements for this as there are many large transfers in...

Anyone?

Congrats! I'm from Scotland too and also received an ITA last week. Police cert point covered above. There is only one UK PCC. A point just to mention in the LOE to cover bases. When you say that you wouldn't be able to receive a letter from your bank, do you mean because you won't be home...

Hi all When I was born, I took my father's surname, although my parents weren't married. They separated shortly after and then my mother started using her maiden name as my surname. I understand that no steps were taken to formalise this. I continued to use this name until my mother married...

I have searched for, and read, all of the previous threads on high blood pressure. But looking for some advice on the timing of my medical. I have until the middle of February to complete my PR application. My main worry is my blood pressure. I have bought a home testing machine and my blood...

I think the answer is obvious from the following extract, but I have tallied up my trips for the last 10 years and am just over 6 months of time spent in the US (not continuously). The CIC info on PCCs states: Get the police certificates you need You must include police certificates when you...

Ta. I can't afford to bugger this up as I'll be on 436 by the time my application would be rejected!

Received my ITA today so had a quick look to see what further information I have to provide. I knew that I had to provide 10 years of travel history (which is incredibly hard as I have many european trips every year). But I notice that I need to list trips outside my country of origin/residence...

Can anyone help me with an issue I have had with the CIC website since day one? I can't work out how to log on to view my profile. I usually eventually manage it but I go through the same circular process many times before it seems to work. - Click to logon through GCKey - Sign in using...

Same here. I only had til 18 January for a 441 draw. Genuinely thought it wasn't going to happen with two 445 draws in a row. Merry Christmas CIC!

I know it can take up to 24 hours but frantically refreshing emails for 24 hours is not going to be healthy! Strange how same people get ITA instantly and some can take 24 hours. Any reason for this? Checking applications?

YEEEEESSSSS!!!! Best Christmas present I could ever receive! Now the hard work begins :)

Max IELTS, 2 or more degrees/diplomas, etc. Losing points constantly due to age. If I do a masters, the extra points will be negated by the drop in points due to age in the intervening period. Ditto for learning French (from scratch).

I go from 441 to 436 on 18 January. Hoping for one set of back-to-back draws before then but not expecting it.
