Morning everyone, My Skilled Worker visa is due for extention next year and I needed some direction from you. Current CoS issued until - 1 Aug 2024 Current BRP issued until - 15 Aug 2024 1 - Should my new CoS start from 2 Aug 2024 or 16 Aug 2024. If it is later, would this gap cause any concern at t...
Came across this yesterday https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9920/ Apparently the Government is making plans to have 'Transitional arrangements' for those who are already in the UK and they may be exempt from this. Please see below the question that was asked in the parliam...
Thank you. By any chance, would you know if NHS would be willing to withdraw the COS if I dont take up the job and go for another job. I am sure they would, but you would need to inform them if you are no longer interested. To qualify for skilled worker visa on new salary thresholds, I think you ne...
Hi, I have been offered a Band 6 position for NHS IT role (Non-Clinical Staff) and they would be giving me a COS. I have a couple of questions: 1. Will NHS IT roles be exempted from the Minimum Threshold (£38,700) as the new immigration rules states that NHS workers and National Pay Scales will be ...
If you have valid visa until 2026, I don't think they can curtail your visa in between and ask you to go back if you do not make 38k. However, we are unsure about whether the new changes would be applied retrospectively (doubt it), and whether those in the UK would be affected by this, or are these ...
It didnt clarify whether this would impact those already in the UK, I suppose it would. Not sure if there is a wider review of the going rates for all other occupations.
Thank you both. Can you please also confirm when the 'continuous period' starts? so in our case, the BRP were issued on 1 Nov 2021, and we (self, partner and daughters) arrived here on 15 Nov 2021. From which date the 5 year period starts? I understand as per the current guidance we can apply for IL...

Hi there, I am due to apply for Skilled Worker visa extension at the start of summer next year. I know it is a bit too early but just wanted to confirm if the extension application follows the same documentation as before i.e. CoS from employer, maintenance funds etc. Is the visa application fee £70...
Hi there, I applied for 3 year Skilled worker visa (Nov 2021 to Nov 2024) and paid IHS as part of the application. Last year, I switched my job to a new employer and paid IHS again (Aug 2022 to Aug 2024). The IHS was paid twice for two applications for Aug 2022 to Nov 2024. I was under the impressio...
Hi there, I had recently applied for my mother's visit visa from Pakistan. The biometrics were done on 15 Dec. On 12 Jan, we received a notification from VFS "The processed visa application for GWF.... has been received at the VFS", however, to date we have not received the passport collec...
Hi I am planning to apply tourist visa for Switzerland, however, I am planning to take my car and will enter EU through France.

The monthly income is around £1400-1500, out of which half is usually deposited in to the bank account and remaining half is used for monthly expenses. The question is not about the amount, rather how to justify this in the documents? We are thinking of submitting property registration papers, tenan...

She doesn't have any assets, bank account or assets in her name. My fath...
Hello there, you might be aware that UK Govt is offering £400 energy support to all households in the UK with electricity/gas connection. I am not sure whether this comes in public support or not. I have tried to look for answers but couldn't figure out. The Gov.Uk website (https://www.gov.uk/govern...
Spoke to UKVI contact centre earlier today. They said since you raised the escalation on 2 Sep, you would have to wait another 6 weeks before refund is processed. Apparently, the escalation is now sitting with the refund team.
They have asked me to call back if I dont get a refund by mid October.

I recently moved to a different job and got my Skilled worker visa updated. With my current employer, my Skilled worker visa is n...
