I wonder how the companies would respond to this insanity, with the trouble of replacing highly skilled employees on tier 2 dependant visas.

I presume you meant the visa expires on March 2016?

If yes, and you extend your T2 in Nov 2015, and it got approved -your new visa expiry date would be Nov 2018. Not March 2019.

If the employer states 3 years, it will be for 3yrs starting from your visa approval date of your extension. Keep in mind that Tier 2 General visa will only be issued for a maximum of 6yrs. So if you've already spent 5yrs on Tier 2 general , and your next C0S for an extension states 3 yrs , you woul...

Ask your husband to contact VFS in US. see links below, if that helps.

He can apply from the US itself, no need to travel all the way to India.

ok cheers.

Does this mean that as long as your salary is equal or more than the minimum salary in codes of practice at the time of initial application, you have no problem even though the newly published codes of practice show a higher figure? In other words, the salary does not need to be increased to reflec...

looks good to me.

Hiya I'm currently on T2 general. I just need to know what would happen if I make a change of employment application with a new employer/sponsor and the application for some reason gets rejected and I don't wish to proceed/appeal - Will the new visa application rejection have any impact on my curren...

All unrestricted CoS allocations expire on 5 April and for 2015/16 new ones have to be applied for. The process usually takes up to 2 weeks but could be longer now at the start of the new year. You would get one within 2 months tops.

Old passports are only required if it has a UK visa or any previous travel history to the UK. If not, you don't need to worry I think.

Where can I have a look for the salary threshold for experienced workers?

Many thanks CR001. One last question please, is it the same rule if my partner entered UK before July 2012 as a PSW dependant ?

Hi CR001, please could you kindly answer my following question.

If my partner has 5 years residence as PBS T2 general dependant, and I switch from T2 general to ILR via 10yr route in a few years time; Is my partner qualified for ILR after I get mine ? If not what options do we have ?

Many thanks.

She will need 5 years residence as PBS Dep to qualify for ILR. The time on Tier 2 ICT can only be combined for ILR based on 10 years long residence [/color] Hi there If my partner has 5 years residence as PBS T2 general dependant, and I switch from T2 general to ILR via 10yr route in a few years ti...

Thanks. I kind of guessed they wouldn't issue FLR(M) for 5yrs , its a good money making tactic used by UKVI. more extension = more money.

Hi. Just out of curiosity, how long will be the FLR(M) visa valid for when the clock for ILR, for the dependant, is reset to zero ?

nice one. Many thanks.

Unfortunately, no. A ‘dependant’ is any of the following: your husband, wife or partner your child under 18 your child over 18 if they’re currently in the UK as a dependant Read the guidance on dependant applications before you apply. They’ll also have to pay the healthcare surcharge as part of your...

1. yes, you can extend whenever you want with a Tier 2 visa.
2. Experienced if your over 25yrs old
3. salary must match the new SOC
4. One that matches your job tasks.

Oh thanks for reminding everyone how much NI and tax we've been paying

well then I guess its just between you and your employer. Salary hike is fine and if your job title does not change officially you probably don't have to worry about anything.

LMT becomes mandatory if there is a change in your SOC even if its within the same company. Hence you'll be required to apply for a new leave to remain /T2 visa

That is outrageous ! when is the start date on you COS ? Good thing you're in UK already. Hopefully you can find another job/sponsor within 60 days after receiving your curtailment letter. It should come by post to your UK address which you have on your COS. You can apply for T2 visa from within UK,...

T2 dependant visa fee is currently £564 per person if applied from outside UK, which is equivalent to around INR 51997.44

Its the same fee even whenever you apply.
