Re: ESTA REFUSE

Well i will play end of this year again i mean after 7 month and lets see hows its goes .. Don't do that, unless you want to mess up your chances and probably be banned to enter the US forever.

Re: Tier 2 Visa (CoS) cancelled

Were you on T2 at the time and if so was your sponsorship actually withdrawn by the sponsor at the time they made you redundant? Yes, I was on Tier 2 at that time. A week after my last day in that job, a received a call from the manager saying that they reported to the HO that I was not working for...

Re: ESTA REFUSE

I understand that you applied for an ESTA twice in a matter of 2 weeks, is that right? If you want to apply for a B1/B2 visa I think you still can try, but I would strongly suggest you to wait 1-2 years until you do this. I would say 1.5 years as a safe timing. If you apply now for a B1/B2 visa (or ...

You can send an email to this address explaining your situation:

There are other posts where applicants mention delays due Covid-19.

Re: Address Change sponsor

Assuming that you have a valid BRP, you need to fill and send by post the MCC form (change of contact details): https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... s-form-mcc

The online option is only for those who have applied for a BRP but haven’t had a decision yet.

Re: Skilled Worker status without a job

You can stay in the UK until you find a new sponsor or receive a curtailment letter from the Home Office, whatever happens first. The curtailment letter can take weeks or months to be sent, it seems to be a sort of lottery. Nobody can say a specific time. If you are laid off, you are not allowed to ...

They basically are asking if you have been refused any visa (any category) to the UK.

As you have been denied a visitor visa, your answer should be Yes.

Don't worry about that. I was in a similar situation last year and never received a curtailment letter in almost 6 months.

Try to not change your address while you are in this situation to avoid any mess... otherwise you should be fine.

Sorry it's Nov 2021.
Then you have until Nov 2021 to receive either a curtailment letter or a new CoS from another employer, whatever happens first.

The dates when you left your job or the company has filled for closure are irrelevant.

Re: Travelling abroad from UK after submitting application

As CR001 said, your new application will be withdrawn. Also, most likely you will be denied to enter to the UK. The immigration officer at the airport will notice that you have finished your studies so there's no reason for you to stay in the UK. The time remaining in your current visa is irrelevant...
