Anyone? A couple more questions- I need to get my husband's name added to my passport as well but he's in the US and so I don't have his original passport. Will self-attested copies be enough? Also, the VFS website states that the applicants need to take silver envelopes, can I take normal jiffy bag...

Hi guys My passport is expiring in March 2018 and I want to renew it now. The Indian High Commission seems to be open on August bank holiday so I thought I would make an appointment for then, saving me a day off work. The only thing is that I have to go to India on 30th September so was wondering ho...

KPSP- Was that after police verification? Where did you get it renewed? Everywhere I've read says it takes at least 3 working days for them to dispatch!

I have friends who bought a house (on mortgage) while they were on Tier 2 General. Now they are British citizens (after spending one year on ILR). I don't see why buying a house would be an issue!

1. Category applying under : Tier 2 Dependent (General, Partner) 2. Country of application: USA 3. City of Visa Application Centre: Biometrics in Atlanta, consulate in New York 4. Date of application: 08/04/2017 5. Date of submission of documents (if different from 4 above). : 21/04/2017 6. Date Ent...

The job start date needs to be within 3 months of the CoS issue date, so October might be too far away for it right now. Also, CoS validity is 3 months, so the earliest you can get a CoS to have a job start date of October 1st would be July 2nd.

You can do it by logging on to the Sponsorship Management System (SMS), they would have provided you with your login details.

CR001- I thought tenancy agreement wasn't a required document for a Tier 2 Dependent visa (assuming that's what the OP is applying for his wife, and not Tier 2 general as the topic states) unless children are involved?

As you won't be getting another CoS for ILR, it sounds like you don't need to be paid £30,000 and can get away with your current salary. ILR would be the only case the "CoS before 24th November 2016" rule would be valid probably because a person can't apply for a Tier 2 visa (new or extens...

Reason for visit- Work
Visa type- Tier 2 (General)
Visa sub type- General child upto 3 years

I am so sorry for your situation, I do know what its like to have to prove you are fluent in English even though you have been taught in English your whole life. It seems as your PhD wasn't completed in a native English-speaking country, you didn't meet the English language requirements. You could g...

Even for £300 per year? As the minimum threshold for Tier 2 General is £30,000 (or according to appendix J, whichever is higher), its highly likely that the threshold for ILR won't be for the lower amount in appendix J. There's a website where you can post questions to UKVI (freedom of information o...

Its quite straightforward scher, just make sure you have a scanned copy of your passport/BRP/driving license to prove identity, and also a soft copy of your bank statements/utility bills/council tax bill/other documents listed on the page to prove your new address. They say say update the address wi...

Thank you moonlight55! Yes, he's sending photographs as well, I forgot to mention those.

In that case it will have to be 30,000. They do make it as confusing as possible, don't they!
You're not that much off this figure, you could probably negotiate with your employer to bring it up a little!

Hi I am currently on tier 2 general visa and about to apply for my ILR on May 20. I have a query in regards to the salary threshold . Hope one of you can help me. I fall under PHD Exemption category and my SOC CODE is 2119 (Scientific Officer) , the minimum salary threshold for experienced worker i...

If you are only extending your Tier 2 visa, you don't need to show bank statements/proof of maintenance.
All you need is the printed application, checklist, passport, 2 photos with your name written on the back and your current BRP.

No need for any other documents.

Hi guys I know this has been asked and answered time and again, but my husband is applying for his Tier 2 Dependent visa from the USA where he's working, but he is an Indian national. I wanted to confirm the documents we need to send (last minute panic to double check everything!). So far he's got: ...

What is your question exactly? Tier 2 dependents can extend their stay and after 5 years apply for ILR.

Can anyone provide any insight on this? My husband's biometrics appointment is on the 21st and he will send the documents immediately after.

Hi guys My husband is applying for a Tier 2 Dependent visa from the US (he's an Indian national). In the question asking for his residential address, we provided his US address. Then there was another question about how long he has lived there and if his contact address is different from this addres...

Anyone?

You could ask your employer to add sponsor notes in these sections mentioning the error and what it really should be. My boss entered the wrong number of working hours for me the first time and then next time during the extension he put in the wrong salary. Sponsor notes worked both times.

Hi guys My husband is currently filling the application on the visa4uk website for a Tier 2 Dependent visa from the US. However, there is no place for him to put in the IHS reference number anywhere. Does anyone know where this goes? Shall we print out the payment confirmation page/email and attach ...

Thank you for your reply.

Also, I'm assuming my original passport and BRP aren't needed for him to apply from outside the UK?
