Re: Job posting to satisfy Labour Market test in UK

Salary means a range stated in numbers (between 23k and 30k a year for example). Something quantitative (a number) and not qualitative (a word like "competitive", which does not indicate whether the salary will fulfil the requirements). Job posts normally have that amount. It tells prospec...

Re: Scrap the £35k threshold for non-EU citizens settling in

Well. Reading about it it seems like this 35K threshold would be detrimental not only to tier 2 workers but also to the UK economy in general. I wanted to share a couple of links here, as there is already a debate set for the 7th of March and people are being encouraged to write to their MPs and kee...

My sponsor company works a lot with corporate events and will want to have me traveling to events in countries in Europe such as Germany, Spain and France.

Re: Company Merger or Change of name? Companies with same ow

Employees for company A will be now employees for company B, Can only happen when company B is a licensed sponsor. One of the fundamental change in your "terms and conditions of employment" is the employer, so how can you say that the T&Cs are the same. That would have been true if co...

Company Merger or Change of name? Companies with same owners

Hi everyone I was hoping you could throw some light on this. I have read Paragraphs 13 of the sponsor guidance which relates Mergers, takeovers and similar changes *Page 42). And I have also read the flowchart and examples of Annex 8. But I would like to give more details and hope that the gurus cou...

Hi everyone. On late July I was granted my tier 2 General visa. I was ready to start working right away as some projects were coming in but my start date got delayed and those projects were put on hold. My sponsor company (A) was in the middle of negotiations and was about to be acquired by a multin...

Re: COS Allocation and Job Start Date Question...

The experts should be able to answer properly. I would think that you need to wait for the allocations and make sure you have your degree ready. I guess the start date should be according to the service you are going through (post, priority or premium). If you do it by post I would ask the employer ...

Re: refusal help - URGENT

If it helps anyone RE Admin Review deadlines. Try and use the date of the letter and not the date when it was posted as the starting point of the 14 days deadline. In other words. Call UKVI and ask. They told me the starting point to start counting the 14 days was the date of the decision and not th...

Only you can assess the situation within the company but if time is critical a new application with a new CoS and a set of new supporting documents would probably be quicker if you use the prio...

Hi Manci

I know my previous reply post is quite long. But I am trying to cover every detail in order to make a right decision and it is very stressful

I would really appreciate your thoughts on this and anything that would shed some light on which path to take would be a huge help
