New Threshold from 4th April

With the new threshold coming in effect on 4th April, will someone applying for visa on 3rd of April with lower salary on CoS will be considered as valid? So long as it meets all conditions.

Re: Surname Incorrect

Affidavit can be a way (attached with the certificate for added reassurance), not sure if it can work for the Case worker.

I do not know if VFS can change you application at the time of submission, if that is possible that's would probably be the best.

Re: Surname Incorrect

The only workaround I can see here is upload the PDF yourself and combine both certificates in one file, let them figure which they like. Also the initial instead of surname is odd, it is very common in the UK for most companies to shorten your first and middle name with only initials but not surnam...

Re: Skilled worker visa employer switch in country priority service

Does anyone know if this kind of situation (delay) would impact the ILR at the end of 5 yrs? No salary slip for 3 months.

Also, how would this work with the late start date in comparison to CoS start date (28 days rule)
