Hi Kumar, 8 OCT 2014 was the COS expiry date not the expiry date of your leave. The COS is valid for three months only once issued and have to be used within those three months otherwise the COS becomes invalid. In your case, the COS issue date was 7th July and Cos expiry date was 8 Oct (three month...

I do not think so as you would have valid leave when you return to UK. Check with UKVI helpline as well for peace of mind.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone, I applied for my UK born son dependent visa (in country) on 19th od September and sent the supporting documents and checklist the same day which were received on 22nd of September. Since then we have not received any acknowledgement or biometrics enrolment letter. Is any one else in the...

is there any allowances/bonuses included in your current salary?

Was there any RLMT conducted for the job you are doing or were you exempt from RLMT?

You may need to if reduction of hours causing your salary to go down what is mentioned on COS. The best is to check with Employer helpline. This is what in Policy Guidance for Sponsors in the reporting section: If you decide to cut a migrant’s salary package to a lower rate than you stated on their ...

Hi, Your employer cannot pay you less than the salary mentioned on your Cos unless this is carried out on all the employees in the organization. This must also be reported to UKVI within 10 days. If the number of working hours are reduced then you may need change of employment application. Please, g...

Thank you Jibri and CR001.

Hi Manci and Other Gurus, I will highly appreciate your response on this. I am on Tier 2 Visa and have been diagnosed with Thyroid problem. I will have to be on certain medication for life. I have been told by GP that I can get an exemption card for this medicine and everyone in UK who is using this...

Logically, you should not be paying IHS twice but the question is whether the online IHS paying system is smart enough to detect this and adjust the amount?

I believe you will might have to pay and then you can claim a refund. The best is to contact UKVI for this question.

Thanks,
Hassan

all looks good to me.

Thanks,
Hassan

I am not sure about answers for rest of your questions. Thanks

Hi, For Question K12 you should leave this blank if you do not have or do not remembered this information. Or you can write next to the question that you did not keep the ticket details. For Question N4, the answer should be NO as your leave would be tied to the main Tier 2 applicant and UKVI does n...

Hi Fahad,

My son does need a dependent visa as he will be travelling outside UK in coming months. He will not be eligible for British Passport unless I get ILR.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi Guys,

Any response on the above will be much appreciated?

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi Gurus,

I am aware that members will reply when they want to and if they want to but I will highly appreciate early response?

I am afraid that my topic will eventually go down the topic list and I would not get any response in time. Thank you all for your help in advance.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi Gurus, I hope someone will answer my question. I am applying for my son (born in UK) Tier 2 dependent visa. In the declaration section of online form it ask for whether the person filling the form is the applicant his self or the applicant representative. I am confused what should I choose here a...

Hi Abhishek, I think you now apply online, print the application form and send it over along with the supporting documents. If online option is the only available option so there is no point on questioning its reliability. If you want to apply you can only apply through the given options. The fees i...

HI,

I think your solicitor should raise this query to UKVI team as well as only UKVI can confirm how to pay for this amount. They would probably ask you to pay at visa application centre when you will go to submit passport.

Thanks

HI Janinah,

Your understanding is correct. In order to apply for Tier 2 visa, the job needs to be at NQF 6 level. Switching from PSW to Tier 2 only exempt the employer from carrying out resident labour market test.

I read it on the back back of a matchbox. I think it was little harsh from Wanderer. Hi Khan, if you go through policy guidance and see point 214 on page 55, it will clear everything. It says: You cannot take employment, except:  working for the sponsor in the job recorded on your Certificate of S...

Hi Ishettyl,

You should be fine if you apply for visa extension with passport validity of 1 year.

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi, If you have not moved your address since you made your last Tier 2 application then they must have your current address but still it is good to phone them and ask. Search for contact UKVI and google and you will get the number. I would advise you to contact your employer first. It could be the c...

As I said, your 60 days will not start unless you receive curtailment letter from UKVI. They sometime take ages even months to send the letter after the employer has reported via sms. Do UKVI have your up to date address? Have you asked your employer whether your employer have informed about your re...

Have they not requested the UCOS at the time of sponsorship application? They should have done so. What was the reason for COS rejection? I do not think so providing some other reason to UKVI make any difference and in fact can impact their sponsorship if UKVI find out they requested COS on false re...

You will have 60 days from the date UKVI issue you a curtailment letter. They usually take around a month or 2 to send this curtailment letter out so hopefully you have around 3 months legally in UK. I know its extremely hard to get employment under Tier 2 but keep on searching and hopefully you wil...
