Hi guys I have applied 10 days ago to switch from Tier 2 visa to Turkish business visa. I am still working where I am currently working, I wonder if I can quit or reduce my hours whilst waiting for the visa? I think for me to get appointment it will be at least a month and another 6 months for the v...
Hi, I'm not sure, if there's any thread already on this and I couldn't find any. I'm on Tier 2 General visa and I've got an offer from a govt org now. They said they're going to apply for unrestricted CoS and said it may take couple of weeks to get the CoS. They're expecting delayed processing by H...
Thanks for this. My employer called business help desk however the number is closed because of Covid. We are going to send them an email explaining the situation. I think that is the best thing to do?
Hi CR001, I was trying to get more info on this by looking at other member's topics. My company does not really know what they are doing, I am the only employer that needs visa. They do not have any to allocate, at this point I do not know what to do. I will ask them to give a call tomorrow is it on...
Hi,
I have applied for UCos just 3 days ago, but from what I read, it takes 2-3 months and I do not have it, is there anyone applied for fast track service? Is there any guidelines on COS applications from government? I am not sure what to do, my visa expires in less than a month.
Does that mean I can apply just before 31st or do I have to do it 11th? You need to apply for an extension before your visa expires. The 31st July date is for those people who are stuck in the UK with expiring or expired visas and cannot travel out of the uk. Also for the COS is it going to be from...
Hi all, My tier 2 visa is expiring on 11th of July and I read that HO extended visas till 31st of July. Does that mean I can apply just before 31st or do I have to do it 11th? Also for the COS is it going to be from 31st or 11th? Do you think it is worth to pay extra and get one day decision or is i...
Hi everyone, I am going to talk to my employer to ask for 5K raise to 30K for my tier 2 extension that I need to apply in June time ideally. I am just a bit confused about if the increase should be a few months before the application or would it make a difference if I get a raise starting from New C...
£25,700 is based on 39 hours per week and if you don't meet that, it will be refused. The tier 2 policy guidance makes reference to the £30k salary requirement. Hi CR001 I had a look at tier 2 policy guide and number 83 refers to appropriate salaries which is saying £30K or higher when applying for...
I have read where it says experienced rate or £30,000 whichever is higher for extension? This applies to employer switch or experienced entry clearance from outside the UK. Note that for ilr your salary requirement is a lot higher than the SOC experienced salary. Thanks for fast reply, really appre...
Hi there I am due to extend my visa in July this year, my initial tier 2 visa was issued for 3 years and now I will have to earn experienced rate. However my SOC code 3422 is a level 4 (eligible for tier 2 for being creative sector) and experienced rate is £25,700. I only realised it might not be en...
Hi everyone, I have got Tier 2 visa in 2015 with SOC code 3422 “K_itchen designer” even though it was level 4 job, it was labelled as creative sector hence it was exempt from level 6 rule. Now I am going to extend my visa next year, I have had a look at my soc code again but Appendix J has been slig...
Hi my employer is struggling to find where to report my salary raise on SMS, and to be honest I have no idea either. We do not want to do something wrong, could anyone please guide us on this? I am sure it is quite simple! Thank you
Hi everyone, I am a Turkish citizen living in UK over 3 years now on Tier 2 and have a valid visa till mid 2020. I have got multiple Schengen visas from different countries over a few years time (France, Italy x 3, Switzerland) however the longest I have got so far is 3 months. I normally provide al...
You can work up to 20 hours per week under Tier 4 visa assuming you have your national insurance number. And full time on holidays. I am not very sure about Tier 4 independent visa but I am sure you and your family can switch from UK.
Hi Everyone, I switched from Tier 4 to Tier 2 last year in June. HenceI have got unrestricted COS. Today we have got an email from Home Office. I have asked this before but I just want to make sure it is okay. The email is: We sent you an email two months ago to notify you that you can apply to rene...
" Tier 4 students who have completed their degree and who have submitted their Tier 2 visa application can commence full-time permanent employment in the role for which the CoS has been assigned whilst their visa application is pending. The Compliance Team will require evidence that both condi...
Hi,
A friend of mine is thinking to switch to Tier 2 from Tier 4, she has 2 months left until her visa expires. So she wants to know if she is still eligible to work full-time whilst waiting for her Tier 2, even if her Tier 4 visa is expired. Thanks in advance.
Hi Everyone, I am on Tier 2 since June 2017, and my employee got an email from home office with the subject “Annual Cas/Cos allocation expiry in 3 months”. It looks like an automatic message and, I do have visa till 2020, so I am not sure if we need to apply for Cos every year or we are fine till 20...
Unlikely you can get VAT back on something you bought here, if you live here and are only leaving for a holiday. VAT back is for visitors leaving the UK with their items purchased here as far as I understand. Council tax, NI and income tax have absolutely nothing to do with VAT and customs duties. ...
