Hi
Thanks for your response. The uni has confirmed that the start and end dates stated on the CAS are Sep 2024 to May 2024. Is that what counts as course length? I am concious they might not understand the question if he asks what the course length is for graduate visa purposes.

Hi A friend of mine is looking to come to the uk to study an undergraduate course. As he has already completed some studies abroad, he is being granted direct entry into the final (3rd) year of the undergraduate degree. He is trying to find out if he would be eligble for the graduate visa (old psw) ...

Thanks Vinny
One other query. I took a speeding awareness course in 2012. I did not declare this in the application thinking this falls under minor traffic offences category. Is this going to be a problem?

cheers

How many days have you beem absent each year? The law says that if absence is less than 30 days each year then the visa officer might not require any evidence of absence if they wish so. You have to provide the evidence if absence was more than 30 days each year though. Can you email all days to yo...

Folks
Can you please help me with your suggestions? Thanks

Thanks for your response vinny. The thread you have referred to seems slightly different in that the OP had provided no justification of his foreign trips at all. I will provide clear reasoning for my trips and also attach correspondence from previous employer showing that the do not hold the requir...

Folks I am coming up for my ilr in a few weeks. I have spent 5 years on tier2.

Could someone please guide me regarding the query above.

Friends I am coming up for my ilr soon based on the 5 year tier 2 route. I switched employers about a year back and had a month between the two employments. My tier 2 for the new employer was granted a week after i finished with my old employer but didnt actually start the job till 4 weeks later. I ...

Dear members
Please let me know your views on the matter as I feel my ILR is in serious jeopardy. Please also let me know if anyone has experienced something similar.

thanks

Thanks for your reply iworker. it seems to be that evidence needs to be provided for all absences, even the ones below 180.

can other friends please share their opinion on too.

thanks

Dear all I will soon become eligible to apply for ILR having completed 5 years on tier 2. However, I have come up against a major issue and need some advice. During one of of my five years on Tier 2 General, I was on shifts and was allowed additional time off because of this. I was outside the UK fo...

Can someone please shed some light on the issue. My friend is extremely worried.

Hi A friend of mine has applied for short term visit visa. He has 2 previous uk speeding convictions (given through court as he was driving on an international licence). However he did not disclose these on the form thinking these are not criminal convictions and very minor. Will he be refused on th...

Can the senior members please respond. I am extremely stressed out about this. many thanks in advance

Hi I am applying for my ILR under the tier2 5 year route. Unfortunately I was dismissed by my former employer last year for gross misconduct ( there were no charges pressed or anything like that). I managed to find a new sponsor and was able to continue on tier 2. my query is in reference to the fol...

You can work for your previous employer till the start date on your new certificate of sponsorship.

Many thanks frontier mole. I am an engineer in the construction industry.

So if I understood correctly, you feel this would not impact my ilr application?

Thanks Physicskate. The HO would probably find out through the notes my previous employer puts on the sponsorship management system. I am concerned what effect the wording which may include 'gross misconduct' would have. My particular concern is around the good character requirement.

Thanks

Can anyone please advise on financial requirements for tier 2 general spouse visa.

Many thanks

Many thanks for your reply. I am on a tier 2 general visa so I'm assuming I'm eligible to apply? Or do I need to have ilr status before my wife can apply for spouse visa?
