Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Another update - I came back to the UK yesterday from EU trip without any problems. Officers didn't ask anything, didn't even ask generic questions! So nice to be in the UK again! :) Thanks all!

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Just to update: my HR contacted the HO and they said that I can travel without a problem, as it will take a few weeks until we get a license and surrender our current one. I am a bit not sure in this but this will give me enough power to point this letter to BO at borders and say that I was advised ...

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Yes, it is 100% - I checked just now with your link. I believe this is because UKBA didn't suspend our license and my company didn't surrender the "old" license either. From the policy guidance the UKBA will remove us only when we surrender the license: 696. If you no longer wish to sponso...

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Thanks again manci! Yes it is a bit complicated. I can see in immigration rules that: 323A. In addition to the grounds specified in paragraph 323, the leave to enter or remain of a Tier 2 Migrant, a Tier 4 Migrant or a Tier 5 Migrant: b) may be curtailed, or its duration varied, if: (i) the migrant'...

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Thanks manci! It's a bit tricky as my visa is valid / has not been curtailed at all - I never received any letter from ukba saying that my visa is not valid. The ukba just told to our company that we need to apply for a new license within 28 days as my company changed its name and owners. They said ...

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

Thanks mate! We've got a letter saying that we now have 28 days to apply for a new license. The HR applied for a new license today and waiting for their response. Guys a really important question: I need to leave the UK after 2 days for 2 weeks! Please advise, is it safe for me to leave the UK? Or B...

Re: URGENT: Please advise!

P.S. HR called to their helpdesk and they said that they don't think a new license is required and UKBA might review our change application for up to 6 months! But the thing is that the helpdesk was not confident enough so they might provide inaccurate information as they told us a month before to c...

URGENT: Please advise!

My company changed its name and ownership from 1st of January 2014 and we were transferred by TUPE. However everything in our company - directors, position, job, salaries, location, details, etc - everything remained exactly the same. My employer did send a letter to UKBA to report this change and t...

Re: Please help: Company Name Change

Thanks a lot, Manci! You're a star! Really appreciate it! Bhuv, I am not an expert, but I think your company doesn't need to send Technical Change request as my company did that and got a letter from UKBA saying that they need to contact "Tier 2 Team" instead, so my company changed it via ...

Please advise on following

Hi all, My company changed its name and updated it through SMS a couple of days ago. They also sent some documents to UKBA to confirm name change as per UKBA's request. They didn't get any response from UKBA regarding this yet. I was reading that in some cases UKBA might ask the company to re-apply ...

Re: Please help: Company Name Change

One more thing: will they also update company name in Tier 2 sponsors list or we need to send documents / do anything else apart from updating the details in SMS? Thanks a lot!

Please help: Company Name Change

Hi all, I am employed under Tier 2 General scheme. My company just changed its name and we now need to let HO know so that they could update my company's details in their database and also change its name in Tier 2 sponsors list. Could you please advise how we can do that? To whom we need to contact...
