Thank you Zimba and CR001. My wife does not work anywhere and is dependent on me for financial support and so is my child. We do not hold any joint account either. I have added my wife's name in the council tax bill and will also add it to the utility bill. Based on the above information in the fami...

Hi Zimba, Thanks for your reply. I am more concerned whether I am filling in the correct form. Why are they asking the previous Tier 2 general details? Also if i don't provide any VAF details then they are asking for my sponsor details. Not sure why. If anyone who has applied for Tier 2 general depe...

I am now applying(filling the form) for ILR for my dependants but the questions that I am encountering confuses me and hence I am coming back to this forum for some help. Appreciate if anyone can please help me. * The first ques...

Hi All, I got my ILR after spending 5 years on Tier 2 General. I am now planning to apply for ILR for my dependants who are currently in UK as Tier 2 general dependants. From someone who has applied recently for their dependants(who were on T2 General) can you please share the list of documents that...

Kindly read the link properly before taking a call

Hi, Please go through the below link on the ukvi site https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/family-members Check the Savings section. This is what it says: You won’t need evidence of your savings if you have a letter from your fully approved (‘A-rated’) sponsor saying they’ll provide 1 month’s funding o...

Urfrnd,

What about your application? Have you got the visa?
In case 'NO', what is the sponsor doing regarding the same?

Hi Urfrnd,

Any updates on your application?
From which country and city did you make your application?

Dhana,
Going by the previous posts you will have to return to your home country and serve a cooling period.
I would still suggest you to consult a solicitor before you take a step.
I guess they would suggest you a way out considering that you are in UK.
I am assuming you are on Long Term ICT visa.

Hi,

I see that VFS is no longer associated with UK Governemnt for visa application.
Can you provide me the link where the application status is being updated?
I am unable to find one on the VFS site.

Hi Subujoseph, I don't see anything wrong in going for the 3 years visa as well. You can extend your visa once you are in UK. @Manci, Can you please confirm my below query? If I apply for Tier 2 General visa after 6th April 2014(COS issued in March 2014) but the visa gets issued after 6th April 2014...

Thanks Daya

Hi NewbieTier2sm, I see that you have applied for Tier 2 General from Mumbai. I also understand from the previous posts that you had to attend an interview as well. Can you please share the details of the interview? What types of questions were asked and so forth etc. Please respond as soon as possi...

I will be applying for Tier 2 General in March 2014.
How long before applying for the visa should I take the TB screening test?
Can I take it anytime now?
Will the certificate be considered as valid if I take the test in 1st week of March?

Hi All,

I have been reading the posts by some of you. I see there are telephonic interviews being conducted by UKBA. Is this happening for every application for Tier 2 General or is it case specific?
It will help if u can share the questions being asked.

Even if they don't allow to switch to 5 yr visa once you are in UK you will be able to extend the visa for another 3 years.
I think switching in country is easier.
Most of the rules will apply for people who apply from outside UK or after 6th April

That's not good news. But as I understand the new 5 year visa is still in proposal stage which will be presented in the parliament which may or may not be accepted. Possibly they plan to implement the 5 year visa hence they may have doubled the fees :D :D Though getting the visa for 5 years will be ...

Hi All,

i know its a bit too weird. But going by the sequence of events I am raising this question.
Are there any changes expected in policy related to Tier 2 General (Skilled Worker)?
The UKBA usually announces policy changes in Feb or March.

While checking the points calculator for Tier 2 general I am getting the required 10 points for English language requirement as my qualification and the University from which I have passed is in the list recognized by the UKBA Do I still need to take an English language test before applying for Tier...
