Hi The salary mentioned in my CoS is incorrect. Can I use to the "sponsor note" system to specify the correct salary. This is very crucial since the incorrect one mentioned is below the requirement as per the Codes of Practice. Or would it be safer to ask the sponsor to issue another CoS w...

Well. The date was not a misprint. It turned out my HR department had made a mistake in the date for the certificate of sponsorship, so I had to reapply. I eventually got it though.

Here is my timeline 1. Type of application: Extending (Tier 2 general to Tier 2 general) 2. Date of expiry of current leave (visa) : 31/10/2011 3. Date application posted : 10/10/2011 4. Date payment debited : 18/10/2011 5. Payment mode : Cheque 6. Date leave to remain valid from : 29/11/2011 (to 01...

Hi Sushdmehta Thanks for your response. I have got very mixed responses about giving the biometrics again. One member from UKBA said its up to the discretion of the case worker. Another said I do have to give them again. On speaking to two members from workpermit.com I was told I don't need to give ...

I have applied for an extension under the Tier 2 (general) category. My biometric details were taken for my last visa and as part of my application, I have sent my Biometric Residence Permit to the border agency. My question is, will they ask me to register my biometric details again this time round...

No don't worry about it. You definitely don't need the £800 requirement if you are under Tier 2 general.

I have recently applied for extension as well and those are the only documents I sent. I was wondering the same thing but a thorough examination suggested that there is nothing else I need to send. Seems too simple doesn't it? But it's good to know that you have arrived at the same conclusion as wel...

Okay... A simpler query which maybe someone can answer. I have applied for my visa application and have made the payment by cheque. I sent the application last week and the money still hasn't come out of my account. Can someone advise as to how long it takes for them to claim the cheque payment.

Hi I have posted my visa application for an extension under the Tier 2 (General) category. I was wondering, in case there is a problem (due to an unforeseen error) and I have to go back home, will my employers have to complete the resident labour market test in order to issue me a restricted CoS for...

Just through the online portal is enough.

Your CoS is still valid.

Hi Do you know the reason for why it got rejected? My company requested a CoS through the Sponsorship Management System. It is quite a simple process and it took one week to come through. Hope this helps. If you give me more detail regarding the reason for the rejection maybe I can help more. Thanks

So I got my sponsorship number yesterday and am in a position to apply for an extension to my Tier 2 (General) visa. For an extensions, it seems that the only documents I need to send are my passport and Biometric Residence Permit (along with the form of course). Is this really true or am I missing ...

Thanks for all your clarifications. The last time, it took less than a week to get the CoS. One week will be completed tomorrow and we still haven't heard, so I was starting to panic. In your experience, do you know how long it usually takes?

It wasn't a mistake by the border agency. My employers made a mistake in the expiry date of my Certificate of Sponsorship so the validity of the visa is correct. We have now requested another sponsorship certificate (last thursday, 29 September) and I need to use that to make another application. Wo...

I am currently on a Tier 2 (general) visa and it is expiring on 31st October 2011. My company has applied for a CoS last week but we haven't heard anything yet. In case I am not able to get my CoS in time, and have to go back home by the end of the month, what are my options for getting a Tier 2 (ge...

Thanks for your reply Floral. That's encouraging. Hope I get it back soon. Although, I did not send my passport as they didn't ask me to send it. They only asked me to send the BRP. Will let you know if it gets sorted out.

Hi Flora Did you get your biometric residence permit back? How much time did it take? I have a similar problem, though it is more serious because the mistake is in the 'valid until' date which suggests my visa is expiring next month, instead of three years later. I have sent it back to them and was ...

Hi I recently applied for a Tier 2 (General) visa and got a letter (along with my passport and documents) saying my visa has been approved. I then received by Biometric Residence Permit, but the valid until date says 31/10/2011. This is the date my current visa - Tier 1 (PSW) - expires and I was exp...
