Also, someone responsible for the recruitment of employees? Like an HR specialist in a limited company (again, company is big...so there is more than one).

Seriously, any help is appreciated!

Hi all, Time has come for me to sort out referees and I would like to know if anyone succeeded (or failed) their naturalisation using a development manager under the category "Manager/Personnel officer" as a professional referee. I work in a large IT company (limited) and my line manager o...

Hi,

Yes I have both...always worked due to my VISA, just wan't sure because it states you need to be resident (which I believe I am with IRL) but better be safe than sorry with the rules here in the UK.

Hey all, I currently hold ILR from a Tier 2 General route. I just want to be sure that it's ok for me to get the EHIC card so I can travel as turist to EU countries and in any emergency, use the EHIC card. I never bothered to get one before but as I am currently pregnant, thought it would be a good ...

Tier 2 rules hardly changed in the past several years Tier 2 hardly changed? I guess the NHS surcharge, the NHS surcharge part II (from £200 to £400), the Immigration Skill charge (extra £5000 for the company to get you a 5 year visa), the sometimes twice a year raise in visa costs are nothing then...

The changes were anually before and now they are not anymore. For regular people that are not involved in immigration matters or read weekly HO's website...yes, these changes are very unpredictable. And Brexit did mean more people getting their setled status/IRL/citizenship where before, migrants fr...

Hi jasongosling, I have been in a similar situation, but managed to convince HR to do asap. Don't know if you have noticed how Home Office changes the rules and cost of visas latelly...these have been escalating very quickly without any warning. Also, Brexit without a deal may affect the processing ...

Hey Mobiusrex,

The application gives you a list of documents you need to present...that's the minimum you have to submit. Then, reading the guidance and this forum you get the rest (like the cohabitation proof, for example).

It's the recipe to avoid problems and get the IRL asap.

Hope it helps

Hey rbajju, Same situation here and got IRL with no issues. The company mentioned the late change in website and the fact the original SOC code still applied in the letter confirming the employment. Just be aware about any salary spikes just before IRL may be investigated (check other posts about th...

hey eyecon1,

I submitted my application during the weekend and received the answer only on Monday, around 11 a.m. As far as the UKVCAS people told me, it counts as you did the application on Monday so tecnically they could answer until Tuesday morning.

Forgot to say: The letters must use the company's logo/details template. If your HR is nice, I suppose they will sign and stamp the list of absenses (since they were aware of them). In case they dont, I believe you will need to write a cover letter...same style, explaining each absense and using the...

So, we did two letters for the main applicant (using the templates people post here + some changes): TO UK BORDER AGENCY ABSENCE LETTER - LEAVE TO REMAIN (SET O) <date> Dear Sir / Madam, CONFIRMATION OF UK ABSENCE FOR xxxxxxx I wish to confirm that the bearer xxxxxxx is a full-time employee of <comp...

Hello mpitillo fellow Brazilian :) English test: 1. IELTS is a proper test (don't know how difficult it is to book), but the GESE Grade 5 (B1) is a 10 min chat that you can book for the next day. 2. GESE is dead easy...I would go with it unless you can make use of the IELTS test later for something ...

the closest free appointment at a core location was 6 weeks away for me I had to pay £260 for next day appointment at a premium location I also chose 24hrs super priority (+£800) it is two weeks now and no response yet Let me start by thanking everyone for the great help this forum provides. :) I h...

Hey, If you expand each category, it will list what you need to upload. Yours is a bit different from mine as dependent (Tier 2 General VISA issued May 2014 and extended in October 2016 - so it's not considered for the absence limit). What I have: Mandatory: * Other (previous passports or any travel...

Hi, Based on my current experience (last month's application): 1) I didn't scan blank pages and they end up scanning at the appointment, but only for the current passport. 2) Yes, as it contains part of your travel history (I suppose) and the previous visa. The instruction says that you must present...

Thanks again tier11417,

There change of salary is old (June 2018) is well above the requirement (promoted from mid level to senior), only problem was that HR forgot to update SMS...but it was done later anyways.

Thanks for the quick response tier11417. I had the idea that the appointment for the 24 hrs service was more or less of an interview (to check documents, scan what is necessary/check what you scanned, ask questions like immigration officers do every time we arrive in the UK). Do you think if I uploa...

Let me start by thanking everyone for the great help this forum provides. :) I have just submitted my application and about to book my appointment (Set (o) Tier 2 G to IRL). What is the main difference between the 6 Core Centers and the Service Points (libraries) for Super Premium Priority Service? ...

Hi sikishah, Sorry to bring this post from the dead, but I am in the same situation: about to apply for IRL and national insurance records missing (but pension is showing in the website). Called HRMC and they said to send a letter, but to expect a delay in answer (up to October). :? Did your company...

I found this in the guidance: 22 When you assign a CoS to extend a migrant’s leave in the same tier and category, the start date on the CoS should be the day after their current leave expires but the migrant cannot apply for leave more than 3 months before that date. The current work situation: * CO...

Hello all, This is supposed to be a quick question for experts. Did we have any major changes between 2016 and now to extend a Tier 2 General visa? I am helping my HR for someone else's extension and lately I have not been very active in the Tier 2 visa forum because I am about to get my IRL (so all...
