If my sponsor fails to comply with reporting requirements due to a mistake in reporting my SOC code change on the SMS, and I have an extension application currently pending with the same sponsor, will my application be refused because of this issue? If so, can the same sponsor issue a new Certificat...

If their current category is a Skilled worker, then I think you should have answered “YES” to the question “main applicant already has their Skilled Worker permission”. See also Given name . I’m guessing answering “YES” to the family linking code is okay as you have provided a UAN. Do you think it ...
Hi, I have a few quick queries: For the question asking if the main applicant already has their Skilled Worker permission, I answered " NO " because I have applied with them for an extension and they have not received a decision yet, although their current permission is a Skilled Worker vi...
Hello, I recently applied for a skilled worker visa. In the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), my given name from my passport was entered in the family name field. Since I do not have a surname in my passport, my full name appears in the given name field. While applying, I was not asked to manually e...
I do not have a BRP as my visa was issued for 6 months or less. An employer has asked for a share code to prove my right to work, but I do not have a BRP to generate one. I am unable to create an account for the eVisa as the ID check app would not recognise my passport issued from India without NFC ...
What exactly are you concerned about? This is all historical and not likely to have any impact on your visa. It is pretty minor stuff As for hybrid working - there is no set number of days. Thanks, Frontier Mole. I am concerned because I reported to the employer that I am living and working in a di...
Seen a similar situation where wrong category was selected. HO contacted sponsor to pay the ISC as exempt category was wrongly selected at first. Visa was approved around 5 weeks after payment.
Good evening, Couple of questions that I have, if you could review: 1. I have a query regarding reporting duties during the COVID pandemic, which had exemptions for not requiring reports on the SMS when employees were working from home. Could you please inform me of when this exemption ended? Is rep...
No. See my previous answer. Apologies for the late reply. I did. I understand what matters is that she didn't work more than what's allowed, but the record says otherwise, and only her manager at the time knows what happened. What if the manager is currently not working for the company - will his w...
Thanks ektan and sah10406. The only worry is will the Home Office conclude anything from the hours recorded on the system if it all they check the system (don’t know when they’d decide to do so) - will they listen to the explanation why the hours shown on the system is nothing to do with her but her...
*asking for a friend She is on a Tier 4 visa, and a year ago her employer recorded wrong hours on their clocking system which for 3 weeks, wherein even though she did not work more than 20 hours the log shows 3-4 hours of extra work for about 3 alternative weeks.

The standard processing time is 8 weeks and UKVI is unlikely to have started processing your application before receiving the full payment Thanks manci. So, you mean 8 weeks from the day the top up was made? It is after initial consideration (within 8 weeks) that they identified that the ISC paymen...
Hi, It has been 12 weeks since I applied to switch from T5 to SW visa. I received an email saying that the application will be delayed as the Immigration skills charge payment was not made initially. It has been 4 weeks since the top up was paid. How long does it usually take after the top up for th...

The email address that I sent the request to and that actually responded with the payment link was: worksponsored@homeoffice.gov.uk If you are in a similar situation, I really hope this helps you. Good luck! Hi, may I ask how long it took from the day the top up was ...
Hi, It has been 10 weeks since I applied to switch to the Skilled Worker visa from T5 visa and have not received a decision yet. I received an email from the HO saying that they won't be able to meet the service level agreement time of 8 weeks, the reason for which was because the sponsor did not pa...
Hi, I got an email from the HO saying that they have contacted my sponsor asking them to pay the ISC charge which they initially did not pay as they thought I was exempt from payment. What stage of decision making would my application be at this stage? My sponsor has made the payment within an hour ...
