Did the UKBA agree to vary your application from FLR(O) to tier 2? I am in a similar situation and wanted to know if you were successful or not.

Yes, my employer knows that. And that's why they chose to assign that SOC code to me. They even increased my salary because when I was offered the job, my salary was 22,500 but as that was lower than the amount stated in the codes of practice, they increased it to 24,000. Like I said, I was just wea...

Thanks a lot for your reply. Well I was reading some previous threads on this site and that's what some people were saying so it had me confused that's why I wanted some clarification. So since I have only been working as a developer for 5 months, I can apply as a graduate developer am I correct? I ...

So there's really no one that has any information on this?

Hi guys I graduated in December 2010 with a degree in computing and got a job working as an SEO executive which is a marketing role. While I was in this job, I was looking for IT related jobs as my course in uni was computing. I finally got a job as a software developer in February 2012. I started w...

pclk: The answer to your questions are as follows: 1. yes it applies if your organization has not been awarded a license. I don't know how it all works but a couple of the UKBA guys I spoke to said you can simply have your employer put it on the covering letter that you are awaiting a license and Co...

sussexguy: Here's the infor you requested 1. I called the employer's helpline 03001234699 2. One of my directors who made the application, forwarded the confirmation of receipt to me as he wants me to be in the loop with everything that's going on. So I have all the details of our application. He ev...

sorry in my last thread I wrote: I spoke to 3 different people at the immigration advisory bureau

This is wrong. What I meant was that I spoke to 3 different people in the UKBA's Immigration enquiry bureau

Hi johnjkjk, thanks for your reply. I called them this morning and they said we can only request urgent treatment when there is 2 weeks or less left on my visa. But for me, that time frame is too short as I don't know if they will give us the license on time. I am pretty convinced that my employer's...

Hi guys, I need some advice regarding applying for a Tier 2 (General) visa. I am currently in the UK on a Tier 1 (PSW) visa which expires on July 20th. My employer sent a sponsor's license application on April 13th. As we have not heard anything back from the UKBA, my boss asked me to call them to c...

Hi Levi13,

Thanks for your reply. I am not an EU citizen. I am a Nigerian citizen and therefore I need to apply for a work visa to go and work in Spain. I just want to know if my caution here in the UK could result in them denying me the visa.

Any help or advice is much appreciated

Hi guys, I currently live in the UK and I have been working for a UK company for the past 14 months. The company has an office in Spain and they would like for me to go and work in our Spain office for a period of 6 months. I was reading on the Spanish consulate website that one of the documents I h...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Spain recognizes the Van der Elst visa. I currently have a work permit for the UK and I have been working for the same UK company for 14 months. The company has an office in Spain and I have been offered a secondment there for 6 months. Can I apply for a Van de...

Thanks very much guys for all your input. I really appreciate it. I emailed the international student office at my university and this is the reply they gave me: Dear Raheem, If you still have the same visa that was issued in 2006 then there is no requirement that you inform the UKBA that you have c...

Ok, to be honest, I cannot afford the fees that most lawyers are charging for this. Therefore I have decided that I will file the application myself. I have written a cover letter explaining to them the entire circumstances surrounding my dismissal from Richmond American University. I have also incl...

Thank you for reply to my post. Ok, I understand all this. Overall though, what do you think my chances are? I have spoken to a lawyer and he told me that my failure to notify the home office of my change of instituition is hardly an immigration crime and that it would be very harsh for them to pena...

I came to the United Kingdom on a student visa (my visa was issued in December 2005 and expires December 2010) in January 2006 to begin my studies at Richmond American University. I studied there from the winter semester of 2006 until the autumn semester of 2007. I enrolled as a fulltime student for...
