Re: Rejected Tier 2 visa due to wrong COS

The ukba doesnt issue the cos. the cos is rather assigned by the employer using an online portal and it is employers responsibilty...

Re: Tier 2 Dependant to Tier 2 General

Have you received a letter from UKBA curtailing your visa? If yes, what is the date of the new end date of the visa. Your wife has to apply from india in all cases, and when she does, you can apply with her. She will need a restricted COS and can show the bank statement from UK bank account. (she wi...

Re: Spouse ILR

so since she posted the application after 6 April 2014, does she mean she will have to wait for 5 years before applying for SET, even though she has been here on PBS dependent before April 2012, and the main applicant applied for ILR on LR?

On another note, will it be applying of the visa that would matter or the dates on the BRP?

Re: Spouse ILR

A quick question regarding the same topic.
I someone has been granted ILR on LR, and his wife has been granted FLR(M) AFTER 4 April 2014 (and she was PBS dependent since june 2011), will she has to wait for 5 years on FLR before applying for SET?
thanks.

Re: Can I apply alone for visa without dependents

the above comment is not correct. the family members are not included in COS, and there is no such thing as stamping. Once u apply for a new visa, ur dependents need to apply again as well, at the same time or seperately doesnt matter. It cant be that u wait to change the job for third time and appl...

Re: Tier 2 Dependent Visa - Accomodation - Supporting Docume

technically speaking, you dont need to show proof of accommodation for dependent of tier 2. however, i personally feel (this is only my personal views), that since everyone else submits such docs, it has become a norm for caseworkers to see such docs.

PEO does not mean face to face. the caseworker may ask you for some clarification if in doubt, but in most cases, there is no interaction between the caseworker and applicant. Depends when you are starting work. If visa is stopping u from working full time, i would apply PEO as that will let me get ...

Re: Can I register consultancy company during Tier 2 General

you and your wife both can register a company.
However, if i were u, i would register the company in my wife name, and then take it from there.
you can work 20 hrs without informing anyone and it'll be all legit.

Re: Geting offered a job 3 weeks before my PSW visa expires?

u are exempt from RLMT becasue u are on psw.
the 6 months rule was abolished nearly 2 years ago.
u dont need to be working for them to start the visa application. u can start work now, or when u get the visa, either way you will be fine.

Re: Tier 2 Visa

1. no such rule. u can extend the visa as many time as u want (provided each time u have a valid new COS)
2. this is in country visa application. Not new, nor extension
3. depends on how long the cos is issued for. (if the cos is issued for more than 3 years, u will have to pay higher fee).

Re: Tier 2 restricted cos , please help

there is no cooling period for dependents.
once u have ur own tier 2, and when the main applicant who is currently on tier 2 reaches the limit, he/she can switch to be a dependent of urs.
