Hello My workpermit is expiring soon and I am wondering if I can apply for extension to stay so that I can travel more of UK and Europe. Do Home Office give that privelege? Is it a valid reason? How much period of stay would I get. Is there a minimum period that Homeoffice give on this visa? What al...

The approval issued by the incountry team is only valid when you are legally in UK. I don't know if the convocation is a condition to get the FLR on workapproval. But if they have refused FLR then You will have to leave the country and get a workpermit to get Entry Clearance from India. I don't thin...

THanks for writing. I went with the workpermit and bank statments. It was all fine and got the visa next day.

I had everything done in UK as I lived there before my workpermit got processed. Hope this helps.
cheers

Hello!

I have been told by my employer that they have received WORK PERMIT from WORKPERMITUK which they are sending it to me in original so that I can take it to the high commission in my country.

Can anyone tell me if I need to take any other paper from Employer to support my application.

CHEERS!

Kayalami, Thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate this. 1. Regards Switching Employer : Just to understand it - u mean if one has a workpermit and before the WP expires one switches the employer in the same profession/industry. There is no need to show the advertisement like in the first...

Kayalami, Organisation is not a commercial one. Have one or two non EU employees but on permanent basis. It is more of Art and Cultural organisation funded by the State. My project was specific requiring aesthetic and techinical inputs with some timeline but could be flexible. It took a long time to...

Hi Kayalami


1. The Approval Letter was issued on 31/8/05

2. untill 31/10/05


***It says IED approval letter rather than Work Permit***

Thanks.

Thanks Kayalami, the inputs are very helpful in making 'right' decisions. **The work for which I am being employed is short term 2-3 months.** Kammy, Your WP is valid for 6 months from issuance to get a visa. Does this mean the 'WorkPErmit Approval Letters' issued by 'Incountry TEAM' is still VALID ...

Thanks Bani and Kayalami, I had sent application on FLR(S) in mid Dec after consulting the homeoffice. The education was officially finishing in Dec but didn't get degree till mid February after the dissertation and all that was cleared. The college wrote to support the extension application that I ...

hi kammy, is your visitor visa still valid? because if you are overstaying, that would not be good for your work visa application. NO. I have been asked to leave 'as soon as possible' or 'appeal' within 10 working days. I tried exploring the possibilities of appealing which everyone is of opinion t...

Thanks Bani and Ashwin, Why did they refuse your stay after granting the workpermit? I was a student and extended my visa towards the end of my education so I got 'Limted Leave to Remain'. No notification was received that my status changed to Visitor. College had asked for my stay for Ceremonies an...

[quote="Chess"]1. Yes 2) no effect unless you overstay your current visa Thanks CHESS Regarding 1. Above ...what kind of problems one has to face when reapplying for visa? 'No EFFECT UNLESS OVERSTAY' An official at Home Office says as long as I stay in UK within the period given to appeal ...

I have been refused to stay further in UK. after getting my Workpermit through because of my status as a visitor in the country. My concerns: 1. STAMP (Refusal) on the Passport (Hexagonal shape - ink stamp with a black line)- Does this stamp go against any visa application I make in future to come t...

Thanks for your message. If one returns back to the native country does one have to apply for the work permit again or the work permit issued by the incountry team would be valid within the time given by them to apply for visa at the British high commission. What are the complications of Appeal? Any...

Hello! I came to UK 2 and half years ago on a student visa and graduated with MASTERS degree.
