Did anyone travel without biometric residence permit? My visa application was successful, but I didn't know that they collect current BRP. I booked tickets for tomorrow and now I have neither my old one (this was taken from me) nor new one (this will be delivered in a week). I really need to take th...
Please help as I am completely lost on this: I am applying for ILR next week. In my current Tier 2 General visa I proved my language skills by ticking the box "same as during the first application". In my first Tier 2 General application I submitted to NARIC my PhD diploma which even thoug...
I remember two years ago there was an option "language skills proven during the previous application". Does this option exist in ILR application? I just cannot find it. The option still exists but only in certain applications, for example it is present in naturalisation applications but n...
Either get the Points Based Calculator score, where you should score 10points for your degree, or else get a NARIC English language assessment for the degree. Either will be acceptable. You need to meet the KoL requirement for ILR irrespective of the fact that it was met as part of previous immigra...
I am on Tier 2 general. My PhD was done in English even though not in an English-speaking country. It was proved back in 2009 when applying for Tier 2 general visa. I ticked the box "language qualification is proven earlier" in 2011 when extending my Tier 2 general visa. I am now applying ...
My partner and myself are about to apply for ILR. We are being in the UK for 5 years (Tier 2 General - I'm the main applicant, the partner - as dependent). Can I ask more experienced peers two questions related to proving the language skills: 1) While applying for Tier 2 in 2009 I have provided evid...
Sorry if this has been already asked: I am about to apply for ILR later this year (switching from Tier 2 General), and face the problem of providing information on my abscences in the first three years: I changed my employment two years ago, and with this switch my previous email account was disacti...
A person is on Tier 2 General visa, which has been issued for 3 years plus 3 years. Let’s assume she applies for ILR right after 5 years of continuous stay (i.e. having 1 year extra on her Tier-2 visa). What would happen if her ILR application is dismissed: 1) She will be able to continue her work f...
Sorry, guys, I'm still a little bit confused: 1) I am on Tier-2 General (2009 + 2012). When applying for entry clearance I have provided to NARIC a letter from my Uni (non-English speaking, in general) that my PhD was written in English. This was okay then, and I have claimed successfully 10 points ...
After commencing my job with new employer (switching, Tier 2) at the date, mentioned in my new leave, it was realised that my employment with the previous employer has been terminated 2 days later -- thus, 2 days overlap. This overlap has been informed to both employers. Do I have to contact the Age...
Did anybody pay by Visa debit card? UKBA website mentions this possibility on their pages, but in the application form they say that only Visa CREDIT cards are acceptable.
Should I use postal orders then (which will be + £72)?
Thanks

I'm trying to get a premium appointment -- my application is completed, but I cannot book an appointment yet. While trying to book an appointment, I noticed a minor error in my application. Could I just delete this one, and strart from scratch? I mean - would not it be taken by the system as the wit...
In view of the above could anybody explain please whether an application is actually submitted in my case or no: in the printed application, after "this is the last change for you to change your application", I click next, and I've got to the print document option (DO NOT SEND IT BY POST)....
Hi guys, do you know if one can amend an online application, if in the age group box has been incidently scrolled 16-17 instead of 18-64. I've passed the stage when the amendment was possible to the existing application, but I wonder - can I resubmit another one? Or this is an understandable error a...
Thanks a lot sinha So from this perspecitve it means that it is safer for me to have 31-August as my starting date. But do you know what happens if I will apply for premium service, and get my new leave say at the end of June? Would it mean that my new leave cancels my current leave and I will not b...
I'm switching my employer (unrestricted CoS), which has finally received quota for this year. My current contract expires on 31-Aug. If the starting date of CoS will be 1-Sep -- would I be able to work for my current employer till 31-Aug even if the leave will be granted earlier? More important opti...
Hello, dear experts )) I'm on Tier-2 General and both my contract and visa expire in September. I will be switching my employer, and I have the following two questions: 1) The new CoS will be ready at the beginning of June. I -- obviously -- would like to plan my holidays, and would be "happy&q...
Dear all, In application form for Tier 2 switch of employment there is a question about the date when the applicant enrolled his fingerprints before. I recall (vaguely) that I’ve done this procedure 3 years ago when my current Tier 2 visa was issued. I remember the month, but I don’t remember the da...
Many thanks manci and Agastya80 for your clarifications. The last thing, which I wanted perhaps to ask in this respect: I read in another thread of this forum (I can't find it right now, and again this information is perhaps not really clear) that a sponsor cannot issue new CoS 3 months prior the da...

I don't remember exactly where I learned that one cannot apply three months before one's current Tier-2 expires, and I would be happy if I am wrong.
Sorry, I was not precise enough: my new employer wants me to commence my job from 1-Jul-2012, and is ready to provide me with CoS as soon as possible. Assuming they will provide me the CoS in April -- would I be able to apply immediately (which is more than 90 days before my current Tier-2 General v...
Dear all, I recall that I cannot apply for Tier-2 visa (I switch my employer after working for the previous one for 2,5 years) 90 days before my current visa expires. I cannot find this requirement in the new Guidelines. My visa expires on 30-Sep-2012, but my new CoS will be issued from 1-Jul-2012. ...
