Hi all,

Re: Being a landlord whilst on Tier 2 visa

Hi All,

I found this online:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... ier_2_visa

Does this mean we cannot rent out our house, as it's classified as self-employed.

Is it correct?

Thanks

Re: Tier 2 Visa Denied - Wrong COS

Hi there! So I submitted an application to renew my current Tier 2 visa with my employer and I received an email today saying it was denied because we had put on there the COS from my original application last year, not realizing we needed a new one. I still have time to re-apply as my current visa...

Re: A bachelor degree for tier 2 visa, applying outside uk.

I don't think you can, as If you are applying to work in the UK, the Certificate of Sponsorship must confirm that the job is at RQF level 6 as stated in the codes of practice or, in a creative sector occupation, skilled to RQF level 4 as listed in the Tier 2 Sponsoring Guidance, or the appears on th...

Re: Consent letter from scholarship organisation

Why do you need this? The Home Office does not care who paid for your study. They only need your degree certificate to show that you meet the criteria for switching from Tier 4 to Tier 2. There was a question in the application form (at least when I changed from Tier 4 to Tier 2, which was: "H...

Re: Time for allocation of unrestricted CoS

I maybe wrong. But as far as I was aware, a company needs to apply for x amount of CoS for a year April 5-April 4 of following year. If they use it, they get to sponsor x amount of migrants. If they dont use it, all those unused CoS expires. If the company uses all of it, then apply for more with s...

You got the BRP within 7 weeks I applied in May 2018, standard service via post...

No you are fine. My visa applications got refused twice before, and I am fine (touch wood). You do need to declare it every time you apply for a new visa from now on.

Re: Time for allocation of unrestricted CoS

I don't think the above is right. Your company shouldn't run out of unrestricted CoS because there is no cap for the number of unrestricted CoS they can allocate.

To allocate an unrestricted CoS is only within minutes!
