Hello everyone, My parents are planning to apply for a family visitor visa in Pakistan. We want to include some property documents in their visa application. These documents will obviously need to be translated into English but I have not been able to find any information on UKBA's website if there ...
The SET (O) guidelines only ask for the pay slip and bank statement (showing that the pay is transferred to your account) to be within one calendar month on the day of application.
I have successfully used a letter from the employer which was about a month old.
I am filling the Set(O) form and have a query regarding Section 5, actually the four boxes after 5.5 related to SOC and pay rate. My CoS specifies my annual pay and weekly hours (37).
Not exactly related to this (otherwise there wouldn't have been any confusion) but the English language requirements for Tier 2 from the following link state that, http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier2/general/supportingevidence/englishlanguage/ If your degree was not tau...

Dear all, I am on a Tier 2 (General) visa that will run out in about a couple of months. I want to apply for an extension. My employer has already issued me a CoS for over two years which looks okay apart from one part. Under the "Work dates" section, in addition to work dates, there is th...
I am from Pakistan and was living in Australia as a student before moving to UK. I was asked at Heathrow if I had gone through health checks. I told the officer that the visa was processed in Australia and I was not asked to go through any of the health checks. Apart from that there wasn't any probl...
"You can continue working for your previous sponsor until the start date on your new Certificate of Sponsorship, provided your previous leave has not expired." This quote is from Tier 2 Policy Guidance Section 2:38 on page 43. There is no mention of issue date of new visa etc. The document...
Thank you for the reply. If my wife applies using the old CoS and then I switch to the new CoS while her application is still under process, would it create some issue? Wouldn't the case officer notice the discrepancy? I am just trying to approach it in a manner that the dependant application doesn'...

Hello everyone, I have a followup query. My wife has applied for her Tier 2 General Dependant visa from overseas and we are still waiting for it to be granted. I am hoping that her visa is granted soon and then we can switch to the new CoS from the new employer together. However, if her visa doesn't...
arsenal49, Thank you for your reply. I have looked at the code of practice and both my current job and the new offered job have the same SOC code. The full-time salary for both of the jobs is higher than 20K which clears the 15K specified in the code of practice and the requirement of Tier 2. I am p...

I would appreciate some guidance on this. I have read that dependant/spouse of a Tier 1 migrant cannot work as a trainee/junior doctor. I was wondering if the same applies to the spouse of a Tier 2 General migrant.
