Hi all - hopefully someone can answer this question, as I have reviewed the official documentation and no one seems to have clarity on this (i tried contacting HMRC and they weren't sure either.) My wife has a PBS dependant visa (I am currently on Tier 2). She does not work or study in the UK, and s...

Thanks for your response, that's good to know. How does it affect her ability to collect VAT refund in her last 3 months before she leaves? Can she simply collect the refund as she is going home for good? Also how does this affect her ability to visit the UK as a tourist within the next 2 years (tha...

Hi all - I am currently on a Tier 2 visa, and my wife is on a Tier 2 dependent visa. I plan on leaving the UK by September 2018 for good to return to my home country - however it looks like my wife will need to leave earlier in May 2018 as she has to take over the family business. What is the proces...

Yes and it would correspond with what the third party contracted by my employee told me about expecting it at the end of this month.

Yes, if they havent extended you an offer before requesting all this, personally I would consider the request quite suspect.

So I've been looking at past threads in the forum, and in the month of August (2014, 2012) there are delays for some all the way to early September - not sure why. Perhaps we really do have a long wait ahead of us then?

The employer will not ask u for bank statement or English language exams.. u have to do these in order to apply for the visa yourself. Just to chip in, this might not necessarily be true - my employer used a third party to apply for my RCOS, and the third party asked for all this information from me.

Can anyone advise me on where I can obtain a list of design-related companies offering Tier 2 sponsorship? I am doing this to help someone find a job after their university degree in the UK. So far all design related companies Ive managed to find are small in size and wont offer sponsorship for inte...

Hi Everyone, Im applying for a Tier 2 visa soon, but the last name in my passport name and my UK degree is different due to a legal name change because of familial issues. I have official court documents from my home country and a full english translation. Will this cause issues for my Tier 2 applic...

I don't think they should be needing these documents at this stage. I know that for my employer, they did not request any of these even when I got my job offer - they only requested it when it was time to apply for the visa (3 months before the start date).

Hi everyone, I will soon hopefully be applying for a Tier 2 Visa. Between the time when I attended university to now, I have legally changed my legal name due to familial circumstances. As a result, my UK University degree has a different name to my current passport. I do have official court documen...

lets discuss any updates which comes along and see what happens in September. My RLMT is under process, if everything goes as planned I will enter the game with 45 points! When is the decision date in September? That info has yet to be released/updated in the gov.uk website - but if I had to guess,...

Ya I know PWC is not your employer, I mean to ask you that your application was processed by PWC team as my employer processed my application by PWC Legal. Hi Monika, i think we shouldn't disclose the our employer name here on forum, but i got your point..i am joining the same employer which you ar...
