You do not need to disclose any earnings while applying for PSW. So I can't see it being a problem. Do ensure though you keep to 20 hours a week unless you have finished your course.

do u know?

As far as I know, it is immediate for an A-rated sponsor. It is the sponsor's duty to make sure that the applicant is eligible for an unrestricted COS.

there is a typo in point 1).. i meant restricted COS I would imagine, unrestricted COS, will be made available(i.e. ready to be assigned) VERY soon after the initial request but i can't say for sure http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=75542 According to a few people on this the unrestr...

How can you bring a dependant to the UK if you have no right to remain yourself?

See below: I've just lifted it off a previous thread. Hope it helps.

I must agree... 9 months and that kind of money on a student visa( assuming you are switching from student visa) will look highly suspicious. You are best not mentioning that. Remember the purpose of the £800 requirement is to prove maintenance. By dipping below the required amount, you have given ...

Yes, but make sure there is atleast £ 2800 cumulatively for the 90 day period, the funds are all accessible and all the banks are legit

I just came across this and was wondering if anyone here has more information about this or applied for it. http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/work/greencard-scheme/greencard-scheme.htm Especially related to the educational qualifications. How do you differentiate between a Bachelors +1 yea...

@itsvinodin @ Thanks a lot for such a swift response. It's clearly mentioned in my contract letter that payment will be made after 3 months of contract termination and I also got the late payment letter from the employer. I am providing following document : 1. Contract letter 2. Original Bank State...

well, you seem to know pros and cons very well of your situation. i doubt anyone can tell you something that you dont know already. its judgement call and you are in the driving seat! so have a think about it and go for that option THANKS.. Any wise suggestions would be deeply appreciated and consi...

@Sheffield_Marketeer Thanks mate. The link you provide was pretty useful. My company nameis listed as a A rated sponsors. That's a abit of a relief. however, I couldn't find my exact job occupation on SOC list and am confused whether it falls under SOC code 2131. I work as a Information Security an...

If you have any other account(s) - in any country - you may use it/ them to provide evidence that you have held 1333 pounds for at least 90 days.

Yes. if you don't have any other account maybe consider applying just for yourself if you have atleast £800.

I would suggest reapplying then unless someone here can give you some ingenious way of appealing.

HI I am in Australia and will be returning to the UK in September. My tier 1 expires in October. I wanted to apply for my tier 1 extension on the first week of Sept when I arrive however, I won't have a job at the time of application. Will this cause any problems? Am I still allowed to apply? It wi...

It will be very hard to appeal if your balance has indeed fallen below £800. Do you have funds in another account during the same time?

Yes. Indefinitely until further notice. There are other forms of Tier 1 such as entrepreneur, Exceptional etc which will remain open.

I explored that idea but the ex-sponsors have said that it is specific to working for that company rather than the contract I have with that company. Unless your contract was worded that way, I think they are just trying bullying tactics. Even, if it is on your contract I am pretty sure you will ha...

5th April.

Thanks. I only found out today so need to review my contract tonight but a friend has stated that even if they had put a policy in the contract it is not legal to restrict trade in this way or demand payment after my professional relationship with them should cease and they no longer hold my visa. ...

Have you looked through the original contract that you signed? That may prove to be a useful starting point. I would also wait for more suggestions.

I'd suggest reading the UKBA website as a starting point and then post any queries you have

Hello all, I am not sure if this topic is discussed here before. I checked the site but couldn’t find it. Coming to the topic.. Right now I am working for a X company with the status of Tier 2 (Employer Sponsored) sponsored by the X company. I am here with my family and they have Tier 2 spouse/ d...

I'm not having a good week. I'm reading everything out of context. I think it's because of stress. I read it again now and it makes sense, as it does say that one needs 50 points to qualify for tier 2, and 30 points are given for psw with another 20 for the appropriate salary. so, you are well righ...

As far as I know most hourly rates published were based on a 37.5 hour week so assuming you are on a 35 hour week 27000/52/35 = £ 14.84.. if you pro rata this to 37.5 hour week it would be £ 15.89 as your hourly rate. This is my understanding, but I advise waiting on official documentation regardi...
