You as a tax payer have the responsibility to ensure your tax is accounted for. Unfortunately pay slips are not worth the paper they are printed on. Your P60 is the only valid document to prove tax and NI. Do you have P60's from the first sponsor?? Apologise, if I am diverting the topic but we have...

Will there be any problem for employer A if they will continue employee me beyond 24/08/16, they might say that you are not on our sponsored visa According to my knowledge, you will not be able to work for sponsor A beyond 24/08 if you are changing sponsor. I would suggest you to wait for Gurus' ad...

Agree with Frontier Mole. Reducing number of hours will definitely cause compliance issue for the sponsor.

they can apply afterwards as well.. u will need to have maintenance if they apply afterwards Not identifying mistake but just for clarification that is the rule not changed that if main applicant is not required to show maintenance, then dependants are also not required to show proof of maintenance...

Hi, The only thing you can do is to negotiate with the prospective employer to reduce number of working hours. The salary can then be lowered by pro-rating it according to number of hours you will work. My only concern is this will void the current RLMT they have conducted and they will have to re-d...

Hi,

The annual allocation is for unrestricted COS only. Allocation of restricted COS is on demand basis.

Thanks,

Dear iworker, I have a question you may be able to assist with, My tier 2 General is due to expire at the end 2016. i have been on tier 2 for 3 year by the end of the year, but my total stay in the country from feb 2010 including my studen visa, PSW and now tier 2 exceeds 6 year. Now the confusion ...

Hi, You do not need to apply for visa as your SOC has not been changed and your job responsibilities are still the same. The minor changes like Job Title change etc should be reported to UKVI by employer. I don't think if UKVI will take serious action on this minor thing but you never know. Ask your...

Hi,

Yes, your HR will need to inform UKVI through SMS system within 10 working days from the date your job title changes.

Your HR will need to do this by going in report migrant activity in sms system.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi Sanjeev, UKVI normally not always send acknowledgement letters and usually send biometrics letters only. I think you should give about 2 week for the biometrics letter. I am not sure if you can change to priority service from postal and other senior members will respond on this. Can I ask you a q...

It looks like a mistake from UKVI side. Write back to them (make sure you sent it through recorded delivery). Also, ask your wife to speak to her Employer.

Her Employer can contact employer helpline and they may be able to help in a quicker manner. Don't worry, this will resolve soon.

Thanks,

Then I would suggest you to wait for senior members to respond as I am not sure what is the validity of restricted cos (I think it should be same three months from assigning but worth checking with others).

Thanks,

Are you applying from outside UK?

Cos validity starts when it is assigned and it is valid for three months after assigning. It means you have to use that COS (for visa application) within those three months. There should not be any problem if COS is approved in June and you use it in August as long as you use it within three months ...

Visa Expiry: 30-08-2016 COS start date: 01 - sep - 2016 COS end date: 01 - sept - 2019 I am sure you know but please note that August is a 31 day calendar month so if your current visa is expiring on 30th August, 2016 then your COS start date should be 31st August, 2016 (if you wish to go with the ...

Hi ShrutiBlue,

One more question. I know that we are not required to show maintenance in extension applications. Are our dependents also not required to show maintenance funds?

Thanks,
Hassan

Thanks ShrutiBlue,

I pray both mine and yours visa extension go through smoothly.

Regards,
Hassan

Thank you very much for your response ShrutiBlue. That definitely helped. The reason I was saying that I may be charged for 5 years visa fee was that if I apply too early (say 1st July) with Cost start date for 1st September (for three years) , then I will probably receive BRP before 1st September a...

Hi Everyone, Would appreciate your response on my below query. My current Tier 2 visa is expiring on 15 Sep, 2016 and it was issued in Sep 2013. My HR says that they will issue me a new COS in the early July which I can use for my extension application. They said that they will put a start date of 1...

Hi, Sorry to hear about this. Your Tier 2 leave will remain active for at least two months. Once, your employer informs UKVI through sms system, then UKVI will right to you to curtail your leave and will give you 60 days to either leave the country or to find a new sponsor. UKVI usually takes about ...

That definitely helped. Thank you.

Thank you for the information. Would highly appreciate if someone can confirm this information?

Regards,
Hassan

According to the above information but we cannot tell exactly when it will be in place. Thanks

Hi Manci and Other Gurus,

Please, respond to my above query if possible?

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi, Tenancy Agreement is not a mandatory document in applying Tier 2 dependent visa so do not worry about that. Apologise, to ask but what is you Husband Nationality? If he is from Pakistan then you need to submit the marriage certificate issued by Nadra which contains information in both Urdu and E...
