How you've been working in the UK without NIN (National Insurance Number) ? I actually don't need a NIN as I am from Serbia and we have a bilateral agreement with the UK so our national number is used for insurance purposes, but for some reason they still issue it with the Tier 2. It's quite odd. A...
Hello everyone! I am currently switching from a Tier 4 visa to a Tier 2 one, and just wanted to double check if I am still eligible to use NHS services? My Tier 4 has technically expired (as in the date on the visa, but my Tier 2 application was submitted before this date), and I am still waiting on...
Turns out my application got delayed because I did not have a NIN. Which I did not apply for simply cause as soon as I started working I started the visa process (which issues one automatically so made no sense to double apply). I even asked the lawyer who said it was fine. And now it's delaying my ...
Hi, I applied for extension on Monday 11/12/17 and received the decision + all my supporting documents today (21/12/17) via UPS. You could contact prioritypostalrequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to request a progress update. Alternatively, you could contact UK visas and immigration about your applicat...
Hi, Tamara93. Thank you for sharing ur experience ! I am glad that ur situation is sorted well and fast and I wish I will get this sorted very soon ;) But it is just all out of my hands sadly. I am not sure if my company provided HO all the sufficient documents, proofs and etc as they didn't wanna ...
I am in a similar situation where a company has just received their sponsor license. Was the CoS that was issued with the license a restricted or unrestricted CoS? Sorry I don't really know the difference that well, but if you are applying for a switch from Tier 4 to Tier 2 inside the UK, and have ...
Hi! First off, just wanted to congratulate you as rarely any company would spend their resources and time on sponsoring someone when they don't even have a license! Good job! I am in the same situation right now, but our license and COS has arrived an we are just waiting to receive my visa. I wouldn...
Hey all, Just wanted to double check has anyone's priority postal application been delayed this time round? If they claim it is 10 working days to get a decision I am quite worried that I haven't received any correspondence from the UKBA. Today is the tenth day and I'm of course worried because of C...
When you are filling in the application there is a question that asks if the person has a criminal record. If you click yes I believe they ask for clarification which would be proof of why the have a conviction and so forth (although I am not 100% sure of this as my family did not have one). In term...
Does someone by any chance know how the UKBA run during the holiday period? Do they try to finish the ongoing applications or just close shop until the holidays have passed, what is your experience? I am worried because although I did my application the priority postal route the BRP should arrive (w...
Can you please add a Serbian flag to the forum as well? I couldn't believe that you didn't have it since you literally have almost all countries (including our smaller neighbours?). I'd love to identify as my own nationality rather than someone else's, thanks!
