Yes you can apply for them now. Your application reference number will be needed to link your cases.

The maintenance covers dependants.

Thanks for the reply ywlgy

Someone told me my wife won't get a "right to work" if i apply now? Is this the case?

Hi guys, I have received my skilled worker visa today outside uk, and was wondering if i can apply my wife's and daughter's visa with the sticker visa copy or do I have to visit UK first, collect BRP card and then apply for their visa? Also, as my cos says maintenance will be taken care of by the em...

Hi pal, finally! Glad to share, I have got the visa today.

And I did not escalate the case. Its just a matter of few days in priority service.

I got mine within 6 weeks. 3 weeks after employer submitted additional documents/information

Thanks pal. I hope you get a decision soon, wish you good luck.

I will certainly update here once i collect my passport.

Nearly 11-12 working days..

Hi mate,

I got a call from VFS saying collect passport on monday. No decision email/no passport collection email nothing. I heard they don't email these days and straightaway send brp cards or passports.

For outside UK the phone number is working , however they are charging £0.68 per minute. See if they can help.

Read somewhere the delay is because of UK visa for Ukraine because of war.
So I'm thinking to give them sometime and escalate after 2-3 days.

I'm in the same boat.

Applied priority 10 days ago. Outside UK, new entrant.

After 2 days I was asked to submit more documents which i did same day
Received "application not straightforward email" next day

That's about it. Nothing after that. Wonder how long it'll take.

Defined Cos received after 5 weeks of employer submitting additional documents

I'm in the same situation. My employer provided additional information around Mid jan and still waiting. No new so far.

Hi Almeera,

Thanks for getting back to me and I wish you good luck for your visa application

Was yours a defined or undefined cos?

Hi Almeera,

Was yours a defined or undefined cos?

Wondering if anyone got a defined cos recently? Its been a while since my employer submitted additional information and haven't heard from them since.

Undefined CoS takes 1 day (actually minutes). Defined one can sometimes take months. There is no guarantee.

So there's no timeline of defined cos?

Hi all,

My employer applied for a defined cos 4 weeks ago. They got an email last week ago to submit more documentation which they did.

Just wondering how long will it take from now on, as i thought it would take 1 working day as specified on gov.uk

Anyone in the same situation here?
