Idea about why its a different address and why it is being redirected?
I see that the payment has already been made. This is the first time I did
an online UK VISA application.

Has anyone done Tier 2 online application? I have just submitted an online application for extending my Tier 2 (General) VISA and it requested me to send the documents (passport, photos etc) to an address in Bootle- bit unfamiliar. I have asked my employer to do this for me and they gave me a tracki...

No.

Thanks. Since I have not done an online application before, I am assuming it is going to be pretty normal- Fill out the online form, submit it and send off the physical documents by post. correct me if I'm wrong.

Leave to remain indeed

Hi, I think currently there are both options-paper and online submission of the Tier 2 (General) VISA. Does anyone know if one is better than the other or at best wheter the online submission is likely to make the process quicker? One is still required to post the documents by post I would have thou...

My employer rang today regards the tier 2 sponsorship application submitted in mid March. He was told that the case has not even been allocated to a case worker yet! And they were looking into Feb end applications at present. Could you tell me what number did your employer used to ring them? Can I ...

Hi All, Has anyone been asked to provide a TB test certificate when applying for UK Visa ? As per latest notification from UKBA http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/may/42-tb-test Also does anyone know designated TB Centers in India suggested by UKBA where TB Test are don...

HR e-mailed home office on monday and got response that we need to add more documents then they will look at it by 22nd. not sure we'll get an answer by then or start processing on 22nd. i'll let you guys know if I hear anything. also, there's no way to get 10 point in maintenance switching from ps...

corrigendum: RLMT (Resident Labour Market Test)

Hi,
Is there any documentary proof of a successful RTMT? As far as I am aware the 28 days period of advertising the job in jobcentreplus and another website is over. Is it something like a letter from the company HR vouching for this?

Thanks,
S

Yes, its a solisitor being hired by my company. so I do not have much to say there.

almost immediately Thanks. Do you know the implication of the following. RLMT done. Application for sponsor's licence done many weeks ago but not yet come through. Current VISA is not valid for too many days. Is there a temp. arrangement to make an application just to continue to stay and work for ...

Does anyone know if an employer gets their sponsorship licence approved, they immediately appear on the UKBA sponsor list? Or, does it take a bit of time before that happens?

Thanks,S

I agree. Apply for student visa. work for 20 hr per week and i think it is 40 hr per week during non term time. your company can sponsor you a tier 2 work oermit after your degree if it is registered as a sponsor and can give you 20k+ per year, subject to the current rule. it may be same or change b...

Dear members, Does anyone know about 'Holding application'? My employer has applied for a Tier 2 sponsor licence to be able to provide me with a CoS for Tier 2 application. Meanwhile my current VISA is valid for just over a month from now. They have applied a good few weeks ago as far as I know, alt...

Do you know what happens if this gets too near the end of the current VISA? My HR is saying it may be possible to apply for a 'holding application'. I don't have much detail as of now. Do you think a company can manage to employ someone under holding application status just before getting the sponso...

I think you have to make an application and wait for UKBA to respond. You can't apply for sponsor licence for your employer. It generally happens the other way round. So, if you are talking about applying for Tier 2 (employer sponsored visa) which will need you to quote CoS, then that's something th...

Hi people,

I am aware that there has been delays in the processing of the sponsor certificate applications (news posted on http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... tier-2-cos).

I was wondering if anyone is aware on any progress made to this end?

cheers,
S

Sponsor licence came with initial allocation. Applied Feb, decision time 7 weeks (actually the decision was made within 3 weeks as per the date on the decision letter). If I have understood you correctly, it means sponsor licence was applied by your employer who could then issue you with a CoS? Did...

It is not the sponsor licences that are renewed every April but the CoS allocations Sure, but to my knowledge, CoS allocations are handled by a separate team, albeit in the same section. Hi, Have you received the CoS now? If this is the case, I would be very grateful if you could let me know when d...

It is a fairly longwinded process. First the company has to get its sponsor licence application together (supporting documents have to be submitted) and then UKBA has to process the application. When the company has submitted its application the current UKBA processing time for Tier 2 sponsor licen...

Hi, A company is currently in the process of obtaining the licence to be able to provide me with a CoS. I would like to know how long it takes for a company to obtain this? Also, does it necessarily means that when the company gets the right to provide a CoS, it should immediately appear in the list...

Hi, I want to find whether anyone knows how long it takes for an employer to secure the Tier 2 sponsor status? My future employer is currently applying for one. They suggest that they are liaising with an immigration adviser and that it takes some time. They apparently have initiated this process g...
