UPDATE: My son was granted 2.5 years leave to remain based on 7-year rule. Next step is for me, my wife and other son to apply. I was thinking to go for the priority service ( a lot of money. over 9k in total). I have been told that it is possible to do it but not sure if this is the best way. Any s...
I feel it is likely that in the interim while the decision is being made for your child that the Home Office will start making enquires into you and your wife. This as an outside possibility will lead to action against your employer, if you are in rented accommodation against your landlord too. Thi...
I have been working since April 2012 as an engineer, using my original details, national insurance number and bank account. New employer never asked for ID as I showed them my full British driving licence. I cannot tell them that i am illegal. I have a decent salary (over 55k) and i pay all the tax...
Hi all, A long post but any help woul be really appreciated. The legal part of the story. I came to UK from Albania on March 2007 on a student visa. In June 2007 I found a part time job as an engineer. They offered me a full time position and they helped me with the application for a work permit. In...
Apparently there is nothing I can do but leave the country. However, my passport is still somewhere in UKBA, apparently with my local enforcement office. I called the number on the refusal statement and they told me that is the wrong department. They gave me another number. I called that number, wro...
Hi everyone, It is quite sad actually. After more than three years on work permit visa as Mechanical engineer, I have to start thinking from zero again. Believe me guys, you feel shite. My salary was 11.65 per hour and it should have been 14.35 per hour on 37.5 hours per week. As i have mentioned be...
An update, I have applied for a Tier2 visa without a CoS on the very last day of my visa. I am switching from work permit to Tier 2 for the same employer. Today they have taken the £475 fee from my account. Is this a good sign tht they might hold on to my application? Good luck to you all. Hi ther...
How come my employer got a CoS on the january panel with a salary of 22k?
Was I lucky or the UKBA didn't see it?
Anyway I am still in deep sh... because my work pemit visa had expired when I got the CoS.
I sent the application anyway with a covering letter.
Hello there, I booked the appointment for biometrics for monday 31st. The trouble is I havent received the letter which says: ' YOU MUST BRING THIS LETTER WITH YOU TO YOUR APPOINTMENT'. I have the BRN (booking refference number) and CRN Case Refference Number. I booked the appointment on thursday 27...
Actualy is quite weird how i got the CoS. I am a mechanical engineer but the job is not on the shortage list and the employer did'nt take a RLMT. However we applied when I had less than 60 days left on the visa and was going for the transitional arrangements. The human resources manager has been con...
Just a quick question, do you mind telling me what your salary is. Or safer, your salary scale. My employer has been trying for a while now to get a CoS for me and we've been unsuccessful on every occasion.
My employer got the CoS after four months. They have applied and rapplied and asked urgent consideration and all this stuf about 10 times. On 4th of january my HR manager called them and they said that they havent got any of our documents sent on december 17th. The next day when he called them again...

Well, still waiting for the CoS . My Tier2 application is in UKBA. Yesterday I had the appointment for biometrics.
Last week my employer got the sponsorship licence but no CoS allocated.
I've bee waiting for Nov 1 panel decision about my CoS but no news so far. Did any of you got it? My visa expires on 19th Nov and my question is same; can I apply without the CoS??
November 1 panel has been postponed and is expected to be held on November 12.
I have applied for a Tier2 visa without a CoS on the very last day of my visa. I am switching from work permit to Tier 2 for the same employer.
Today they have taken the £475 fee from my account.
Is this a good sign tht they might hold on to my application?
Hi guys, I am switching from WP to tier2. I have been working for this company for over three years now. My visa expires on 1st of November. The sponsors licence application has been rejected three times for some silly mistakes and minor issues. We sent the application for the fourth time 3 days ag...

My cos application was submitted in sept for oct panel meeting. panel rejected my cos on 4th oct and approved my employer license on 6, lol funny as sweet. they should h...
