Thanks alot for that. I checked with my employer and they stated that my CoS start date was changed to 4 July once all dates were confirmed, so technically i did stop working with previous employer before start date for new one. I did not have any months with payments from both companies. It does sh...

Hi Frontier Mole, This point you raised did raise a massive question in my head. In my previous tier 2 visa and BRP was issued on 28/5/2017 and we agreed a start date of 4/7/2017. However, I did continue to work with my previous sponsor until 28/6/2017 to serve my full notice period (1 month). Does ...

Hi, 1. My UCoS was for less than 2 years as this will take me to the maximum 6 years allowed. I am eligible for ILR in few months time. 2. I applied through the normal route (none-priority) hence why it takes 8 weeks. However, I have read around the forum that some people who have applied by priorit...

All, I have an application to change employer in at the moment. The way to apply is to use the extension link as specified by CR001. It is as stated in your message used for changing employers, as well. The name is deceiving and I had to check twice with my new employer and it was confirmed this is ...

Dear frontier mole. I have read your message and I do partially agree with it. I do think that a process to establish what the country actually needs should be clarified and better managed. The list should be comprehensive, detailed, and updated no more than quarterly .This way this system can work....

Hi, I am no expert. But having just had a chat with HO about this issue i was referred to the section that clearly stated that the start date must be 4 weeks from whichever is the latest from either the (CoS start date, or the BRP issue date). In your wife's case this would be the 30th of April. Whi...

Hi All, I have received a sponsorship from a new employer. They did put a start date on the COS of the 22nd of April. I have submitted my visa application (Switching employer - None priority - new system) over 2 weeks ago. I am now starting to realise that many applications are taking more than the ...

thanks very much

Thanks alot CR001. I think this answers it. Its great that I asked before I paid. One last/final question. Do you know how I can cancel an incomplete online application? I have started teh application and only decided to check in the last minute before I pay. So now the application is locked and whe...

Hi CR001 thanks alot for the reply. I seem to get even more confused now. I would appreciate a clarification 1. I have checked the gov regulations for tier 2 extend you visa that my explorer sent me and it stated the following: "Extend your visa You may be able to apply to extend your stay in t...

1. No, your pbs dependent does not have to apply with you as lo g as they still have a valid visa . I have checked the gov regulations for tier 2 extend you visa that my exployer sent me and it stated the following: "Extend your visa You may be able to apply to extend your stay in the UK under...

Hi, I have found a new sponsor and they have finished the RLMT and issued a CoS. They have now advised me that they expect me to do the visa application myself rather than them doing it. Also that left me with a couple of urgent questions that I need answering to finalise my application: - Will I ne...

Hi, Thanks alot for your help. I have a couple of questions I have asked on an older post but i realize that its not the right post for them. Apologies for the repeat as i could not find how to delete the old post. A company has now expressed interest in my service. They have conducted an RLMT in lo...

Hi, Thanks alot for your help. I have a couple of questions and I am not sure whether its better to keep them here on a different subject. A different company has now expressed interest in my service. They have conducted an RLMT in location A. However while they were processing things they had a cha...

Hi CR001 I have now been officially been informed of redundancy and the finish day is mid March. I have also some potential leads for a new job, however, they will still need to go through the RLMT process and the issuing of contract etc etc. My questions are below: 1) I understand that HO will issu...

Thanks alot... so I will need to push them, but not time to panic yet which is great...

Hi, Thank you very much for the quick reply. I have been on teir 2 visa for 4 years 8 months. I am eligible to apply for ILR in December this year, not too far away. Re the replies: 1) I think they will be quite rapid so I would say HO will be informed by end of feb the latest 2) Will my current vis...

Hi All, I am on tier 2 visa General and my wife is on a partner visa. My company just informed me that I will be placed at a risk of redundancy. My work will possibly finish towards the middle to the end of February. Fortunately, I have already foreseen the situation and have conducted interview wit...

That is great news... Thank you very much. So their HR were spot on in that aspect. btw you experts deserve an award for getting your head around all the complexities of the law.

Hi, I have found a new sponsor for a new role in the UK. I am currently on a Tier 2 visa restricted visa. The new employer is carrying out an RLMT and they did tell me that they do not think that they will need to make a new COS application (Can just assign it) is that correct? My thinking was that ...

Hi, I am on tier 2 visa and working in a role classed in an (Other engineers not classed - SOC code 2129). My company is now thinking about moving me to a new role that is a role that has its own specific code (The job title is listed under another SOC for engineering). Would I be able to move into ...

Thanks alot for your reply. As usual it is very helpful and clarifies things completely. I think they were concerned about it when i mentioned that she has the new visa issued. Yes, I do tend to overthink things. Thanks alot for your help

Thanks alot, it is just that i was not sure whether it is the date on tyhe visa (5/1) or whether it is the date it was issued (3 weeks before that). My employer has just asked me another question that I am struggling with. My current employer is not the same one i started with and I have been issued...

Hi, Sorry for my late reply. Thank you very much for your help. I am still not clear on why they stated that "Applicants can submit a settlement application up to 28 days before they would reach the end of the specified period. You must calculate the relevant qualifying period by counting backw...
