Hi all I had a few queries regarding the absence letter from past employers. 1) Is it enough to just show leave start, leave end dates and the reason ?

Hi This is a query regarding the IELTS requirement for ILR. If an applicant had done IELTS in early 2016, and if there wasn't any UKVI reference number given at the time, would it be an issue when the applicant applies for ILR ? At the time of application of Tier 2 visa in 2016, that IELTS result wa...
Unfortunately the Emirates website is not showing any flights for January. Etihad is showing some flight options only from one city from 8th Jan onwards.

Hi, I just read this post https://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tier-2-employer-sponsored-visas/tier-2-dependant-visa-successful-t236203.html And it seems that any letter regarding place of stay is not required ? Also I noticed that marriage photos were not required as well and instead all chat histo...
Thanks CR001 ! One additional question regarding the place of stay in the UK, is it necessary to have an entire independent house when applying to bring a partner ? Or say if the person is living in shared housing situation with independent room is ok as well ? And if there is a minimum accommodatio...
Hi, I had some queries regarding Tier 2 dependant visa application. 1) Does the time gap matter between when the main Tier 2 applicant came to the UK and when the dependant applies to come to UK ?

I was not sure and did that. I ho...

So my questions are - 1) Does it matter whether I resigned or I am made redundant, is it th...
