tharudsg wrote:is there anything that i can do by going to the home office

NO. You cannot go into Home Office. (Why would you go btw ? )

Why can't you just cancel the visit ? Or its extremely important ?

Hi Guys, My PSW is going to expire on 30th NOV 2012. My company applied for sonsorship license on 27th of march and it got rejected after 6 month's time.

OH right. Sorry I though you as Husban

Apologies.

Currently they are taking extra time on purpose. Seriously UKBA is pain in the butt. But I think you'll get the visa or ask for you withdrawal or cancel your tirp.

You are wrong,utter wrong. Please dont post something which you are not sure about.

In order to quality for ILR via T2 route you need to be in JOB for employer with valid T2 license.

Hi there, I am here for help. I applied for Tier 2 General . My visa at the moment is PSW and expires on 13 Feb 2013 so i am exempted from Resident Labour Market Test . I got a refusal from UKBA stating the your prospective salary is not at or above the minimum rate as specified in codes of practic...

Do you think he will be able to find a new sponsor (T2 Religious) and get COS and apply for T2 and then apply for ILR . No way. Specially now when getting T2 COS is shite. only he can tell whether finding a new sponsor is feasible. However, if it is and he obtains a new CoS and new leave then ILR i...

If the license is revoked then he cannot apply and leave the country now. He doesn't have to leave immediately, see para 654 in the T2 sponsor guidance: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pbsguidance/guidancefrom31mar09/guidance-t251.pdf?view=Binary Fair en...

My sponsor was told today that 'the application is in its final stages and is ready for dispatch' - is that positive or negative, or neither? Does anyone know what that means or when the firm can expect to hear?

Thank you.

When did your sponsor apply sir ?

Hello I am in probably a common situation but after reading the boards and looking at the UKBA web site I just want to check that I am applying the correct process to my situation. I am currently in the UK on a work sponsored work permit, due to expire in Feb 2013. I can apply for ILR at the end of...

Hi Guys. We applied for the sponsor license on 20th of April and they have recieved the application on 23rd of April (confirmed through royal mail tracking) When we asked them on 13th of July with the ref number they said they can't find it on the system. Then we sent more information as payment re...

After 6 long months (applied in mid-may), my company has finally received a sponsorship license.

Please to hear that they are finally processing May Applications.

Could you tell me if you asked for urgent treatment ?

So It takes 6 months. Congratz.

Wait what? can over stay upto 28 days? where does it say this? and can i still be working in this 28 days? Take a look at new Visa application form from 1st of October 2012. If you go to the last page where you tick boxes of documents that you are including with your application, there you will see...

Hasmil. I'd advise you not to leave country because otherwise it would be so hard to come back. Do this: -Get covering letter from your employer "" We have applied for license and currently its under urgent treatment. Once we have the licsense we'll issue Mr.XXX COS" -Apply T2 work p...

Well you'll already have COS when you become Licensed sponsor. So you won't have to apply separately for that until and unless you need restricted COS. Precisely, when the company applies for the registration they have to specify how many restricted and unrestricted CoS's they need. If they are unr...

You've got plenty of time mate! Just make sure that your company has the correct documents, all properly certified. If they have asked for 4 documents send more than that just incase. Originals if possible, if not certified by a lawyer or something. Towards your expiry if they don't get back get yo...
