As usual, we will need to wait and watch what happens next.

Not restricting Tier 2 dependant work is the only good thing about the report. Skill Levy is something which is of more concerned as the smaller companies would not like to pay this hefty amount. Also, this is not clear that will this skill levy be apply in Extension applications for the ones who ar...

Hi Gurus and Everyone, Will appreciate your early response on this. My Tier 2 extension is due this year September. My employer HR is confused whether they need to request annual allocation of COS (currently they have 0 allocation of COS) for me which will be valid from April 2016 or should they req...

Thank you so much Vinny for this very useful response. I think I would include him in the extension application to make things easier.

Thanks again & Best Regards,
Hassan

Hi Gurus/Moderators/Experts, Will highly appreciate your response on the below questions. Q1: I applied for Tier 2 child dependent visa for my son as he needed to travel. I will be extending my Tier 2 visa in next year September. Is it necessary to extend my son's visa as well if we do not have any ...

Hi, If you are going to POE appointment then ask your new employer to put start date in the COS in such way that you be able to serve your notice period. For example, if your notice period is one month and you apply on 1st December using PEO then ask your new employer to put start date as 1st Januar...

Hi, There should not be anything to worry about. Usually UKVI takes 2 to 3 weeks to make the decision after the visit. Your company HR can contact the UKVI person who handed over the visiting card in regards to the status of License application. They can also request to expedite the process as they ...

HI Uzair, You will have to fill PBS Dependent - Child form through here https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/pbs-dependant-child You will have to pay £200. Make sure you apply on such a date that your son will get visa for less than one year, otherwise you will have to pay £300 Immigrati...

Hi Uzair, Yes, you do need to pay Immigration Health Surcharge for your son and it will be £200 per year. When you check online it always show £600 when you choose Tier 2 visa up to three years but when you will be actually paying online it will adjust to reflect the correct amount with respect to y...

If you want to then take her payslips with you just in case but that is not required for your application. Thanks

I thing you must declare this on your form but I am not sure weather it will affect your application or not.

Wait for Experts' response.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have no clue why have you received this. Best is to phone UKVI and ask why have you received this letter.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can take her to Premium Service Centre. They will allow her in and in worst case she will have to wait in the waiting area.

It is your visa application so you do not need to take your wife's payslips with you.

Thanks,

Hi Ravi, You employer should be reporting this to UKVI within 10 working days of the pay rise. They should tell them that on the basis of your performance, they have increased your salary from £XXX to £YYY. The only increase in salary which should not need to be reported is the annual increment or b...

Is the Employer who sponsored your Tier 2 visa still on the UKVI approved sponsors list?

Thanks,
Hassan

The job should be genuine i.e. as long as you have the required qualifications and skills for the job they offer you, should be OK. Thanks

35K or minimum required for your SOC code (Whichever is higher). Thanks

Hi Guys, Would highly appreciate your response on this. My son's supporting documents were received by UKVI on 22nd of September. Till now, we have not received any acknowledgement letter or Biometrics letter. That is making us worry as he needs to travel outside UK in December. Does any one has a c...

Hi,

Cooling off period starts from the date you left the UK.

Unfortunately, if you take more than 6 months to come back to UK then your previous years will not count towards ILR.

Thanks,

Hi, I think your employer needs to make a request for addition Unrestricted cos through SMS system. If annual allocation was greyed out then how they can request this? Annual allocation is different from additional Cos request. Annual COS allocation request is usually done during Jan/Feb to get the ...

I don't know exactly how you add sponsors note but it is to be done from the SMS system and the user who uses the SMS system in that company must know how to do this.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi,

If your request for cos is successful, then you will be able to use the COS by April, 2016.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi,

Did they tell you the reason why they are doing so?

If you have not applied for the visa then they can simply put a sponsors note on the cos mentioning that they have put the wrong salary and actual salary would be whatever amount it is.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi, I understand your concerns and this is very unfortunate that some SOC codes do not reflect the correct NQF level. In addition to the one you mentioned, there is Database Administrator as well that falls under NQF level 4. They just thought the database administrator is probably the data entry op...

It should be company's level 1/2 user or Authorising officer who should be accessing the UKVI sms system. If anyone else is using that system, it means they are breaching the sponsors roles and responsibilities. They will have to request unrestricted COS for you which takes about two week. After tha...
