I understand that you can apply for the SW route up to three months before your course completion, or after you have completed 12 months of study if you are doing a PhD. Also you will need to provide an expected course completion letter from the University as part of your application when applying t...
There is no penalty for changing employer/sponsor. You can switch employers at any time, you only need to complete the same process as the first time: getting a CoS, to pay the fees, IHS, send the application, etc., just be sure to submit your application before your current leave expires. You can d...
They say that you should only resign after getting an answer on new application. But how does that work? Who does say that? You can resign from your current job at any time you want to. The usual recommendation is waiting for the approval email from the HO, but it is not a must follow rule. When yo...
In this case, can I curtail my current Tier 4 visa and go back to my country and apply for Tier 2 with the current company? Will self-curtailment cause any repercussions to my future applications to UKVI? The only way to curtail your visa is through your sponsor (university) who will notify HO and ...
I remember you applied for a Skilled Work visa in late April, like two months ago, and you were made redundant already? :shock: The notice period is irrelevant in terms of curtailment letter. Nobody can say when someone will receive a curtailment letter after employer notifies HO, this time is compl...
The immigration rules on gov.uk seem to indicate that an overstay of <30 days is not grounds for refusal for a student visa, but it would be helpful to hear any first- or second-hand experience that anyone has. Probably it will be hard to find someone with a similar experience in this forum. I woul...
They can conduct any sort of verification they consider relevant to the application. This can include that the funds exist, and possibly that the funds holder is allowed to hold funds in that country, etc. It doesn't matter which country you have the money as long as the financial institution compli...
I think you asked this question before. If you travel abroad after leaving your current job, most likely you will be denied re-entry to the UK. Your employer will notify HO within 10 days after your last day at work.
I don't see any implications on this. You just need to let the new company know that you are not accepting their offer and they will cancel the CoS. It doesn't have any impact on immigration status. And you can keep working for the current employer, on the understanding that they have not yet report...
A PhD (or Master or Bachelors) certificate means the diploma, the one we receive at the graduation ceremony. Usually those frames can be easily opened to scan or photocopy the diploma... or like most people, we usually scan and save it in a file before mounting it. The academic transcript is a diffe...
Hi all, I'm currently sponsored on a Tier 2 visa at my company and live in the UK. I've recently signed an offer of employment and I have a few questions. 1. My dependents visa are valid until 01-Mar-2022. Do they need to apply again or only myself because their visa will still be valid until the e...
However, I know the current advice is to stay put until the new visa is in hand prior to resigning. You don't need to wait to have your new visa (BRP card) in hand to resign. Once you receive an email confirming that your application has been successful, you can immediately hand over your resignati...
You all can try asking or contacting other international students in your same course or University to see if they have the same remarks. Given that the issue is happening very often, it could not be an error but a deliberate act as someone stated, perhaps due to the current circumstances? I remembe...
Under certain circumstances, especially when the person was juvenile, there are options to get that deleted. It won't be part of any record and nobody will know about it until YOU tell them. Got it, thanks! The OP has this option available then, as per his arrest occurred when he was 17 years old. ...
This is what sections 3.6 and 3.7 of the Sponsor Guidance say : S3.6 The start date you give on the CoS must be the date the worker is expected to start working for you at the time the CoS is assigned. You must let us know via the sponsorship management system (SMS) if this changes. S3.7 If, after t...
1) If you already received a BRP for your new job, you should give your notice now in order to clear this by the start date in May. 2) You can start working for your new employer from 03/05 as per your CoS. If you want to start in a later date, you need to discuss this with your new employer. That c...
The IHS refund will go to the original payment method.
If you no longer have access to this account, I would contact the IHS refunds department (email above) to let them know about this situation. They should be able to advise.
Do these health issues matter if I’m later applying for a different type of visa such as graduate route which doesn’t need a sponsor? I mean do they consider factors like major depression, decline in ability to process and express information clearly, burden on NHS resources? Does it matter if they...
Well i got strong ties in U.K own business kids own house . That's good! Now you must wait a reasonable amount of time before a new attempt to increase your chances. I would suggest summer 2022 as an earliest date, the later the better. Not sure your kids (and wife) are British and don't need a vis...
