Hi, My Tier 2 visa extension is under process .I checked in the UK visa application website, they show "Awaiting a decision" status. My spouse is in the situation of getting a job which is almost confirmed and the employer is asking "CASE ID" for right to work check. Where can w...

1- Which date should I use for my extension application? 19 or 09 Dec? all answers you need to ask your HR and or lawyer I just put my opinions 09 dec 2- If I use the date in sponsor note (09 Dec) instead of 19 Dec, would that be proving wrong information and causing any issue? bearing in mind that...

I think if you apply all together is a better option. It makes eveything more simple for your application.

Hi, So long as you applied before used by date of your CoS, you should be fine. I'm about to extend my T2 but have a look at dates for my restricted CoS when I got my first T2 from outside UK: Current certificate status: USED Current certificate status date: 22 January 2015 Date assigned: 20 Novembe...

Hi All, I'm on T2(G) that expires in 6 weeks and I'm about to apply for extension. My Employer just issued an unrestricted CoS for me. Start date on CoS is 19 Dec 2017 and my current visa expires on 09 Dec 2017. Once I noticed that, they added a note to my CoS online that start date is 09 Dec 2017 (...

Many thanks

Hi All, I need to extend my Tier 2(G)-SOL in next few days. My wife as my dependent has a medical exemption certificate due to hypothyroid. This means she shouldn't pay for prescriptions and using NHS. Should we pay for her health insurance surcharge even when she has the medical exemption certifica...

Hi All, I'm on a T2(G) and have my wife as dependent. My job is on shortage list. We are going to have a baby. We are looking for a legal way to earn some extra money from home if there is any.

Keep to terms of your T2.

I thought that's only for main job. What about if one of my visa dependents setup a company and employe me for less than 20hr a week? Is it within terms of my T2?

Thank you very much.

Is that mean CoS doesn't cause any legal obligation after a visa is granted and only employment contract is important?

Hi All, I'm on a T2(G) and my job is on shortage list. It is small growing company that does international business. My sponsor company has mentioned in the CoS I used for my current visa that they will provide accommodation and car. 1- Does it have any legal obligation for them just like a contract...

Merry Christmas to everybody, I'm on T2(gen) and my job is in shortage list. I'm sponsored by a company for my main job without any problems.

Hi All, I have read some successful stories about T1(Exceptional Talent) that all of them are in IT industry. I wonder if anyone here has an experience with T1(ET) in Mechanical engineering industry. I mainly mean first stage that is getting endorsed by Royal Academy of Engineering. 1-I want to know...

Or alternatively Tier 2 migrants may find it wise to toe the Home Office line to avoid this category going in the same direction as Tier 1G due to long term abuse of the system. :idea: I'm with this but that's not going to happen in less than 3 years. Also, T2 has been designed for abuse and that's...

noajthan, worker thank you for you thoughts.

Wanderer, I suggest you change your industry if you like to see their good rep.

Hi all, I know on Tier2(G) one is not allowed to be self-employed. I just want to understand the situation that I might face will be considered as self-employment or not: I non-UK/EU company is looking for some local independent inspectors to monitor the process of their projects that are being done...

Ok, Thank you very much.

Thank you very much to make it clear for me. May ask a few more questions: 1-I believe for the case that they pay the tax, I have to have rights to work in Germany. Am I right? 2-Does HMRC check if money comes to my account every month from an abroad account? E.g. €500/month on average? 3-For the ca...
