Hello, I am in UK on Tier-2 visa, and I have renewed my passport a couple of months ago by my embassy in London due to proximity of expiry date. My question is that is it really necessary to inform home office of this? The reason I ask is that I don't want to unnecessarily raise my profile as with H...

Thank you CR001 for your response. It is unlikely that his employer will raise his salary. Based on your response, he has decided to not to apply for at least the next few weeks in the hope of a correction to Appendix J as promised in the second page of the updated 03-2019 Tier-2 policy guidance as ...
Hello, I am asking this question for a friend of mine. He has found an academic job in a university (SOC 2119 PhD-level job) and would like to change employer with a new Tier-2 visa. However there appears to be a discrepancy between the salary stated in Immigration Rules Appendix J: codes of practic...
Just to update whoever may read this post in future, the end date is also counted toward the 6 years limit as was in my experience of application. In other words, in the above example, should someone first received their visa on 13 Nov 2014, the end date of the extension visa will be 13 Nov 2020 to ...
Let me repeat my question in a different way to simplify: if I am applying for a change of employer under Tier-2 now and my original Tier-2 visa was issued on 13 Nov 2014, when is the latest date the 'End date' of the new CoS can be assigned for so that the 6 years limit rule is adhered to? I really...
Hello All, In regard to the 6 years limit one can be on a Tier-2 visa, I have checked the immigration rules in periods of grant and could not understand if the start date and end date of visa is counted in the limit or not. May I ask how the limit counts. For example, if the first Tier-2 visa of one...
All, I have just received a job offer after an interview. The HR has requested documents to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). However, my start date will be Monday 16/July/2018. I have heard that CoS is valid only for 3 months. I plan to apply for my visa early May. It's a change of Tier-2 e...
Hi, I am applying for a new tier-2 visa for a change of employer. I am aware that I have to apply online, and then I want to book a premium appointment for in-person. My questions are: 1- Whether I can travel abroad after submitting the online application and booking the appointment and before I act...
Hi I am currently in UK on a Tier-2 visa and understand that a new 3-years visa is cheaper than a 5-years one. My question is that, if I apply on 13/1/2017 in-person and my new work start date is 27/2/2017 and work end date is 26/2/2020, then will my visa fee be counted as 3-years or 5-years one? An...
Dear all I am a bit confused over the absence days allowed for ILR. Can anyone please correct me if I am wrong on this? I am currently on Tier-2 and hope to apply for ILR after completion of the 5 years period through shortage occupation list. However my company now wants to send me on missions abro...
Dear All I have a simple but important question which I hope you help me with. I am working in the UK on a Tier 2 General Visa and recently have received a new CoS for a new job. However due to some personal difficulties, I have changed my mind and no longer wish to take up the new job and want to s...
I used to be on a Tier 4 student visa, but I am now switched into Tier 2 visa. I wanted to further study and switch back to Tier 4 from inside country. Will I be able to switch back into Tier 2 again after my studies finished?
Dear All, I am currently working for my employer on a Tier 2 General visa. I have found a new job with a new employer and wish to change it. I have two questions: 1- If my new tier-2 application is rejected, will my current visa also revoked, or in the case of rejection my current visa will remain v...
Thank you manci. I read the 245HE(a) and as you correctly said, that statement is misleading. As far I understood, all Tier 2 visa holders, whether they have switched into Tier-2 from Tier 4 or not, can apply for Tier-2 extensions as long as the total duration on Tier-2 is within 6 years period. Cor...
Hello everyone I have a question about applying from Tier-4 visa to Tier-2 visa. I know that the Tier-2 visa can be granted for a maximum of 5 years at the first instance and it is possible to extend it further, to a total maximum of 6 years. However, reading the Tier-2 visa guidance for switching f...

Dear all I am on a Tier-2 visa and I would like to change my job to another employer. I have a question regarding the shortage occupation list. My current job is on the shortage occupation list. However, my future job will not be. However they are both under the same SOC code, though with different ...
