Hi All I got my Visa for 3years. But I have another question ...... Do I need to apply for National Insurance number or the IHS i paid will take care of that. Please reply asap.

@iworker- But don't you think an employer sponsoring a candidate has interest/responsibility after having conducted RLMT and offering a CoS, to ensure the visa process is smooth/successful. At the end of the day, they have invested in the candidate and my own experience is that an employer would ha...

The UKVI would have substantiated the refusal reason with an explanation of why they think the RLMT process was not followed leading to doubt. They would also point to the grounds for refusal. You would have got these in your refusal letter. If you want an opinion on next steps, you would need to p...

Thank you. Is delaying by two weeks ok? Should be starting on 18th April but actually starting on 2nd May?

Not that I am saying it is impossible but how would you satisfy the salary requirements (12 months payslips).

You are not accumulating any time towards Indefinite Leave (5 year Tier 2 route) on your current visa. The time spent on Tier 2 ICT visa doesn't count in the 5 year eligibility if you are thinking that route. If you are aiming for 10 year long residence your stay from 2013 would be counted provided...
