@avi ... so the summary is that,

June 18: You phoned them and they said that dependants don't need a new visa.
June 30: They write to you saying that dependants do need new visas.

correct?

Was the June 30 communication further to the June 18 call or they are 2 separate queries?

I am on Tier-2 General visa waiting for a CoS allocation from my new prospective employer to switch jobs. The job start is September 01, 2015. If I get a CoS allocated, lets say, next week, and apply for the same day visa and get it on lets say 01 July, will there be any issues with me staying in UK...

Hi Vinny,

I am applying from Tier-2 General to Tier-2 General, in other words, only changing employer.

Kind regards

Hi All, My lawyer checked with the Home Office and they have confirmed that my dependents could apply before their current leave to remain Expires. Just thought of posting this information as it would be helpful to someone else. Thanks Dilanka Hi Dilanka, I am in a similar situation, I and my depen...

You should apply for your dependents within 28 days of expiry to avoid a gap later on to meet the 5 year residence requirement. Also depends on how long your dependents have been in the UK, but you can apply after your visa is granted. Thanks CR001, Apologies for being naive, the doubt in my mind i...

I am on Tier-2 Genral visa valid till September 2016 and consequently my dependents are on a PBS dependent visa. I am now switching jobs and to start the job asap, I want to apply via the same day application for myself and later on (asap) apply for my family (dependents) via postal route. The reaso...

I am sorry I am not of much help to your problem but I will be grateful for some information regarding my own problem somewhat related. My employer got the license revoked 3 weeks ago and I have not received the curtailment letter yet and I was assuming the letter would say 60 days starting from the...

Is it possible to switch to Tier-1 Entrepreneur visa from Tier-2 General visa via the 50K route with your OWN FUNDS?

@ravisb_2014 thanks buddy .. but unfortunately 1. They are not too keen on it. 2. If it doesn't take 2-3 weeks and takes 2-3 months, what happens after my 60 days are over? My continuous residency breaks, doesn't it? and what if they even get it eventually but my 60 days are over, what happens then?...

They have filed a judicial review but even if they get it back it won't happen in the 60 days I have.

So probably I pay the price for somebody else's carelessness not fair.

Hi, My employer lost their Tier-2 license due to HR not following some rules. It has nothing to do with me, I have seen the letter but ironically I am the only one suffering as all others on Tier-2 already got ILRs. Now I have 60 days to find a job with sponsorship or leave UK. I have found a job, p...

yes, but why not apply now? Well, I had some doubts about maintenance funds as well, precisely, I didn't have the right amounts in my account, but my CoS said my sponsor will cover for my funds BUT I have 2 dependents as well, so I called up UKBA on Friday, as many forums suggested that an informal...

Thanks Manci May I clarify that what you are suggesting is that although the job start date on my CoS has passed but the CoS itself is still valid till 05/09/2013, I can apply on this CoS before it expires? My PSW expires 25/08/ 2014 so I don't think its relevant here. The job start date in the CoS ...

Thanks a lot "The Station Agent", I understand the expiry date, I am more concerned about the job start date on CoS that has passed but as I explained above in my case there is no job start date I am on the same job just changing visa category. So what should I do about that job start date...

I am currently working at my current job on a PSW visa expiring August 2014. They had Tier-2 allocations and thought I should transfer to it as well and allotted me a CoS on June 6, 2013, stating that my Job start date is June 16, 2013 (they just put a date randomly as there was no start date being ...
