it is normal for ukba not to send back docs after failing to appear at hearing. I think if u have the paperwork and withdraw ur application, u can go back home and apply for new visa with the cos u have. contact gmc, and maybe give them a visit to show all other docs (including good standing, degree...

first thing is it wont create a problem that u are already working for them. secondly, the start date on cos is not the start date of ur job, but the start of the date from which they want to sponsor u. also, u do not necessarily have to disclose that you are working for them. If RLMT is correctly d...

you dont need to have worked for them for 6 months.. rather, u dont even need to work for them before u apply for visa.
all u need is a COS, and apply before your current leave expires. u will need un restricted cos and will be exempt from RLMT.

i think they are best doing it now, and they should mention clearly that they are asking for quota for April 14/march 15 and not for current year which ends in start of april. also, since you are the only employee, i will suggest that u keep track of when does the company needs to apply for renewing...

they screwed you at each instance. Firstly, they should be put the end date on the COS to the date they wanted to sponsor you and start date as the date they were to start sponsoring you. The dates on the COS are relating to when and how long they want to sponsor you. The dates of your end of PSW wa...

you can apply whenever u want.
Only thing to remmeber is u apply within 3 months of the issue of the COS. If your company is willing to give u a new cos today, for a time that will lead u till after 5 years u have been here, u can apply now as well.

Posting on behalf of a friend. I understand that before applying for settlement, one has to prove knowledge of language in speaking and listening. My friend who is originally from South Africa and speaks English as first language wants to know which test would be cheapest to satisfy this requirement...

its not an issue.. just give them a call, and change your address. You can also do this online. Then give them a call about the tax refund. HMRC normally sends tax refunds around sept time for previous year. If they have already done that and sent it to your previous address, u can always ask them t...

she can carry out any work she like with no restrction at all. She will not need any COS unless she is seeking an independent visa for herself.

if you loose employement before the maternity leave starts, u are still able to reclaim SMP from HMRC if u have been in employement for at least 6 months in last 1 year

If your employer informed ukba about termination of your contract, then unfortunately your visa may have been cancelled. The only way to find out online is by the employer's SMS online. Contact your sponsor to find out the current state of your visa. Tier 2 current rules state that if you leave the...

Need to apply a new application, with a new COS

1 yes
2 No, no cost to you. u pay those as part of income tax to govt.

No
you will be returning resident.

I am on tier 2 as well, and My partner is a doc and looking for doctor in training positions. So i have thought a lot about what should be done and not. I will suggest the following to u. First determine how safe is your husband job. If it is completely safe, ie, he is 100% sure that he will continu...

you do not need to be earning 35k for he extension.
you have to earn at least 20800 or what ur SOC code says, whichever is higher.

35k requirement is for the ILR at the end of your 5 years, provided your occupation is not on the shortage occupation list.

sorry dont mean to hijack this post, but i wanted to know something on similar case. i understand that the kid born outside will not be able to register as a british citizen, however, what if the parent, who right now is on tier 1, goes on to take ILR and then becomes british citizen. Will the kid b...

Apparently UKBA is announcing new categories for Tier 2 including a 5 year long visa and some new shortage occupation list visas as well. The new fees applicable from april can be found on the link below. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/277106/VisaRegulation...

1 Yes
2. Biometrics are done each time u apply for a visa and its fee is included in the visa processing fee.
3. yes
4. click on the link below and follow the link on the left hand side of the page.

yes they will qualify for ILR at the same time as well.

If you have already been issued a COS, u have 3 months from the date of issue of the COS to apply for visa. If u dont, the COS will expire.
If you already have a COS, u can not wait till the closer time of ur current visa expiry date as that will expire ur COS.

the con will be that ur clock will reset. u have mentioned u have been on tier 2 for 9 months.. how long has ur husband been on tier 2 himself.. if u think ur husband job is stable, then i would personally advise u should switch considering u have more offers.. however, if u switch and ur husband lo...

child can travel to pakistan and does not need a visa to exit.
Moreover, the passengers flying out of pakistan do not get any interaction with immigration

thanks for your reply.

That's right. Because i have never thought that they would be disclosing the outcome of the application on email before the docs have arrived.
The reason of the email was if they have since changed this?
thanks.
