dependant visa expiry date will be the same as your Tier 2 visa expiry date

I believe the new salary requirements are only applicable at the time of visa application, and should not affect your ILR application. Would be good if others can confirm this.

It means if you get your new tier 2 visa, you can still continue to work for your current employer UNTIL the start date in the new COS(new employment start date) .That way you won't violate any rules. The safest way is to go for same day visa service>>get your new T2 visa>>and then comfortably serve...

Unfortunately no. It's for other visa categories. She would have to leave UK and apply for T2 General visa from home country. Check the link below, nothings changed in regards to this I think.

tip: Its always good to improve your skill set and aim for a 35k job by the time you apply for ILR.

New entrant Tier 2 (General) applicants who meet the definition of "new entrant" can rely on the lowest wage for each occupation, subject to a minimum of £20,800 (£20,500 if your certificate of sponsorship was issued before 6 April 2015). You meet the definition of "new entrant" ...

Hi

If a T2 visa holder gets ILR via 10year stay, does the dependant still need to start new 5 year qualifying period for ILR, even if the dependant had stayed in UK on T2 dependant visa for over 5years ? I suppose the answer is yes, but please could you confirm. Thanks.

Yes hopefully that should be enough, unless anyone else on here can advice you.

One of my friends family applied from outside the UK last week I think, and they had to pay the NHS surcharge fee for each dependant.

Thanks. Apparently, one who has access to the SMS (the person who issued my CoS), has left the company and a new HR lady is in charge. What happens then?

ok, so its just a change in university name if i'm not wrong here. It shouldn't be a problem. I think you should get an official letter from Rajasthan Technical university , with their letterhead which states that the change of name was implemented in 2006, and that your course/college ( Institute o...

I wonder, is there an option for auto-renewal on the SMS system ? Because I've no idea when my company licence expires and I'm thinking may be I should ask or remind the HR casually. Thanks.

Hi Since there is a cap of 6 years on Tier 2 visas, what happens when someone on Tier 2 General visa is changing employment after 4 years ? How long will be the visa validity period on the new T2 visa under the new employer ? Do they issue Tier 2 general visa just for a 2 years, knowing that the app...

Hi there

Just a quick question, can a tier 2 dependant visa holder work as self employed or do business?

Many thanks

I think you can apply for an extension upto one month before you current visa expire; same goes with applying for ILR.

Hello mate

you'll need to apply for your tier 2 extension before july 2016

and you can apply for ILR in 2018, provided your salary then is above £35k

cheers

Hi, her qualification must be equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree in order to be eligible for a T2G visa. The exceptions and other details are in this link https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/knowledge-of-english I think T2 dependent visa is still ideal as she can switch jobs easily if needed and the...

I don't think you need a website for Tier 2 jobs. Its easy to know if your potential employer has a sponsorship licence already by looking at the register of sponsors list online. It may seem very hard for people because they're more interested in a Tier 2 sponsor rather than actually looking a pros...

Thanks

It seems there will be a minor change to the company name , it wont't be 'XYZ plc' anymore as its no longer a plc , instead the company name will be just 'XYZ' , but still a licensed sponsor - is the XYZ company required to report this change?

regards

Thanks Manci My company will be a privately owned company and will no longer be a plc. I sent an email to my HR explaining the situation with the above links for reference, and asked them to report the new change asap via SMS ..this is the response I was given .. Whilst the company will be ultimatel...

Hi My current employer/company is going to be soon acquired by a new company(a large private equity firm). Will this have an impact on my current Tier 2 general visa ? and my company sponsorship licence ? What happens when I extend/renew my Tier 2 G visa next year ? I looked at the Register of Spons...

Hello I live in UK and will be travelling to Netherlands, Belgium and Germany with my multiple entry schengan visa issued by the Netherlands embassy. Do I need to carry with me my travel insurance, bank statements, job letters,etc with me ? Will the immigration officer ask for these documents at the...

Hi Manci Thanks and apologies for the late reply. I looked at page 7 on the link you provided and it says: If you change any personal details listed above or any details shown on your biometric residence permit, you must apply for a new permit within three months using application form BRP (RC) So I...

She has just changed her surname following our marriage and now has a new passport with the new surname.

pls could you let me know which form to use to apply for new BRP for her ? As i cant find/decide the right one to use.

Hi there

Is it necessary to have a copy of the CoS which has the ref no. , the one printed off online from the SMS ?
