I read it on the back back of a matchbox. I think it was little harsh from Wanderer. Hi Khan, if you go through policy guidance and see point 214 on page 55, it will clear everything. It says: You cannot take employment, except:  working for the sponsor in the job recorded on your Certificate of S...

Brilliant! I thought this forum had a strictly no dimwits policy - clearly some have slipped through! Have a good life buddy !

and your source of this information is ...?

Hi Forum, I am currently on employer sponsored Tier-2 General, recently extended for 3 years (ILR eligible in 2 years) working for an A list employer. My question is whether I am able to start my own small business to generate an alternative income stream on my current leave? I know there are restri...

Hi Kinn, See my response to your question below: 1. When I apply for an extension, will I be getting an extension for 2 years or 3 years ? What decides the period of extension ? The period of extension will be determined by the employment period mentioned on your certificate of sponsorship or the le...

Thanks very much Manci. It says and i quote: "Leave to Remain if your initial grant of leave in Tier 2 is on or after 6 April 2011 We will grant leave: i. for 3 years plus 14 days from the start date given on your Certificate of Sponsorship; or ii. to the end date given on your Certificate of S...

Thanks Manci.
Paragraph 192 concerns safeguarding of children though.
Can you please double check and let me know which one it is.

Hi All,

Any responses will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Forum, I am slightly confused about how long I can extend my tier-2 general for ? I am under the impression that after the first in country application is allowed (3 years) you can only extend it for another 2 years. However a friend pointed me to a section on the UKBA website which says the I ca...

Hi,

I made an out of time application using a fresh certificate of sponsorship and the leave to remain was granted.

Hi,

Congratulations for the appeal being accepted. I appealed for exactly the same case but my appeal was refused. Is it possible to get hold of your case reference number so I can use it as a reference if needed for my extensions and other applications in future?

..and I carried on with my work during the time my application was being considered so no issues with that either.

Hi, I had exactly the same case as yours. Applied with an SOC code where my salary didn't match up. Application was rejected and my PSW had expired then. I appealed and after my hearing where I explained the case fully the judge refused the appeal. I then applied for the permission to appeal althoug...

Thanks very much for you response.

I had also made a query with the Home Office regarding this and got a reply from them this morning confirming that I don't need to apply for a new BRP.

Hi, I have run out of blank pages on my current passport and will need to apply for a fresh booklet. This means that my passport number will change. Do I need to inform UKBA and apply for a new BRP or as long as I carry both old and new passports while travelling it's not needed? I will appreciate y...

Hi,

Appeal won't help. There's no way it will be accepted!
Make a fresh application with a fresh CoS with the right salary.

hope that helps..

Tier-2 Policy guidance states and I quote: "Change of employment applications 192. You must make a change of employment application if you wish to change employer. You must have a new Certificate of Sponsorship and you must meet all the points requirements. 193. You must also make a change of e...

Hi Forum, Grateful if you could answer my query relating to the change of Job Title for a migrant worker under Tier-2 category. My current Job Title falls under Information and Communication category under code 2132-Software Professionals. My Job title has now changed slightly, reflecting my experie...

I sure can !

Let see what this one is all about then.

It never ends with these guys, does it ?!

Thanks!

I read a post here sometime back from a member who had undergone a similar visit. He had submitted an account of question they had asked and checks they made. I can't seem to find the post. If anyone has the link to it please post.

Hi Forum, Has anyone been interviewed by UKBA at their office site after the Tier-2 General visa was issued? My HR informed me that someone form UKBA will be visiting the office next week to interview all migrant workers currently on Tier-2 General. Can anyone shed some light on what I should be pre...

Thanks very much David.
Appreciate your quick response.

p.s: NO - receipt of biometrics invitation does not imply that your application will be approved or you will get the BRP.

This link gives you a rough estimate of waht applications they are considering at the moment. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier2/general/applying/waiting-times/ If you look at it, currently they are processing the ones where biometrics were taken on or before 30th of J...

Their are no strict timeline for this. However if the migrant's leave is due to expire in 4 weeks time and the COS has not been allocated yet the employer can make a request for treating the case as urgent. In this case UKBA will ask for a copy of your passport and current leave to remain as proof o...
