Hi Hassan, Thank you for your response. As per your reply, the first point clearly states 10 points will be awarded if I have Tier 2 Visa. Plus I tried the points calculator on the HO Website. Even it states the same thing. I also found this thread to which Manci has replied the same. http://www.imm...

Hi, I know its an old post, but does this rule still applies now? I am planning to extend my Tier 2 Visa and my wife's Tier 2 Dependent visa. I have not maintained sufficient balance. Can I still make an application without the bank statement? I am in the same job and same sponsorer. They have issue...

Hi Hassan, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my sponsorer has already issued CoS and also they will not agree to this. Plus my wife is already here in the UK for more than a month now. I just read somewhere, that if you are applying for extension of Tier 2, then you do not need to show the ma...

Hi Avinash,

Did you apply using the Indian bank statement? Do you know if this works?

Hi, I am currently on Tier 2 G visa valid until 14th April 2014. I got married in February 2014. My wife joined me on Dependent visa from India in March 2014 and she was given visa till 14th April as well. Now I would like to extend both of our visa inside UK under the same Tier 2 G. My sponsor has ...

I dont think u can apply as new entrant anymore. I am in a similar situation as you. I was offered a contract for 1 year only. Now the company want to extent my contract for 2 more years. I called up UKBA several times to check. They all said now I need to apply as experienced as I am over 26 years....

I dont see any issues wid your dates. Everything is well within time limit. Or maybe I dint get wat u were trying to ask.

You can use either. Personally I wud prefer paper

1. Yes 2. Personally wud prefer post. Payment = best method is postal order (although bit expensive) from my personal experience. I had given card details but unfortunately there was a fraud in my account and the bank cancelled my card before the UKBA took the money. 3. Yes its absolutely fine. I di...

Yes get a new contract with modifications as suggested. then apply for a new SOC. You need not provide a copy of ur contract along with your application tbh. Your sponsors just need to enter those details in your SOC while entering your details. I am not sure about the advertisement though. Is the a...

You need to check which SOC code your job comes under. And then check corresponding minimum salary requirement.

Congrats.. Yes and plus 2 weeks for me.

Yes. Your HR manager can log into the Sponsorship Management System and can print you off the details entered. It is always good to keep one for yourself for your records. Dont worry they are not doing you any favour. Just doing their job. So if you dont ask you wont get. I hesitated to ask for mine...

I know how u must be feeling. Happy to help. I am sure you will be fine. keep us posted.

I think you should email them, just so you have some proof incase if you require in future. But your situation is quite complicated. I am afraid I cant be of futher help. I will let the 'Guru's of this forum to help you out. Sorry.

Yes I did.

I did my biometrics on wednesday around 3pm. They sent me the letter on Friday which I received on Saturday. My BRP Card I got it on the following Monday.

No, I did not. I only got email regarding payment clearance and biometric letter. But then I had sent a self addressed stamped registered post envelop along with my application, so that I could track as soon as they post it. Maybe that's the reason I dint get email.

did you call up the UKBA as its more than 6 months from ur application date considering u applied in november 2012?

Yes, my case was very much similar to yours. I used priority. They are really helpful. In fact, I had issues during my 2nd application as well. I had given my debit card details to pay, but after sending the application, there was a fraud in my bank account. So the bank decided to block my card and ...

Well you can always retract your application and make a fresh one under Tier 2 depending on ur visa expiry.

I hope you get it. Even I had to re apply. I submitted my biometric on wednesday afternoon and they sent me the letter on Friday which I received on Saturday.

I am not entirely sure about the labour test, as it did not apply to me. Sorry..
I am still struggling to understand your entire situation. More info would help as its confusing since you say u were in college and employment as well.

Yes you can apply without COS. But you need to get a letter from your employer stating their license number and confirming that they will give the details as soon as COS is granted.

Yes you can change the tier while re applying. They will mention this in your refusal letter.
