Re: Is Employer required to update Home Office for Skilled Worker Employee Absence?

Working a few days or weeks a year from home in the UK has no impact on your visa conditions. If you will be working for a few days or weeks from abroad obviously you need to inform your line manager - at least. If they're ok with that then you don't need any letter from HR. An approval email from y...

Re: Clarification on information in email received to apply for evisa

Do you have any views on what should be done? If you sent a query to the link provided by UKVI and they responded to register with the existing BRP then follow their instructions. I think it'll be difficult for someone else to tell you otherwise. Perhaps you will not receive a new BRP as the curren...

Re: What visa can dependent switch to if I get ILR

Your partner don't need to switch to any other visa, she can stay as a dependant of a skilled worker even after the main applicant gets ILR. Remember that the immigration rules are constantly changing (there are general elections in the UK in a few months), and such rules might not be the same in 20...

Re: applying for (ILR) under the skilled worker visa

I think UKVI would have risen any issues during the last visa application, it seems it didn't happen and the process went smoothly.

I wouldn't worry much about this, you already have a valid visa that makes you eligible for ILR - if the requirements are met.

Re: Assign new CoS certification

The current/old employer has no involvement if you're changing jobs and employer.

There won't be any interaction between the old and new employer during the visa application process, there's no need for that.

Re: Skilled worker Cos dates and IHS charges

What is your current visa? are you switching from what visa type exactly?

For the skilled worker route, the employer can issue a CoS for two years and you will need to pay all the fees, including IHS for the period of time in the CoS, and for every applicant.

The BRP card number is given to that card only, it's not a person ID number.

It doesn't matter if you have ILR or any other immigration status.

Re: Sponsor willing to provide COS but no allocation available for inside UK

Don't rely on that employer only, keep applying for jobs with other licensed sponsors. Not sure what's your occupation but it's completely possible to find something before 10th June.

Out of curiosity, when did you finish your last job? or how long did it take to receive the curtailment letter?

Correct.

Dependants can apply either together with the main applicant or later at any time before their current visa expires. That's clearly explained in the immigration rules.

They might have previously supported other applicants under this route. The letter also needs to be aligned with the specific...
