Mine was a similar situation. I drafted the company's cover letter and mentioned this change of name in there and got it printed and signed by HR on the company's letter head. I don't think it should be an issue. My ILR bio metrics is scheduled for this Friday so maybe you can get this re-confirmed ...

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation.

Thank you Frontier Mole. The main reason why we thought 3 months was to get the visa done in our home country if it would be cheaper (half the fee for 5 year visa) if we were to apply for less than 3 years T2General dependent visa for the baby. What you say totally makes sense. Also, after what iwor...

thanks a lot iworker. Really appreciate your timely help.

Thank you so much iworker.
Is there any document for point no 2?
I think we are one of those first ones with this query as the 5 year visa came into effect in May 2014 and this condition would apply only for a T2 general applicant having a baby after May 2016.

I am the main applicant and will be going on maternity leave in 2 weeks time. I have a couple of questions regarding the same. Kindly request the moderators to help. 1. Will my husband who is a contractor and has his own limted company be able to continue working here if I plan to return back to my ...

Yes. I was asked by my company lawyer to officially apply for the job advertised on JobCentre before the end date/closing date mentioned.

Tier 2 visa holders can't start a business however, their partners can.

yes absolutely my partner (t2 general dependent) has registered his limited company 2 months back.

Not all banks will allow dependent to open a business account. HSBC does. Hope this information helps.

I too am from VTU Karnataka and I submitted my Degree Certificate along with a print out of the points calculator Summary since it has the Visveswaraiah Technological University in the drop down selected along with other documents. This will suffice.

Yes. They can do any kind of work except dentist and doctors in training.

Sorry I am not discouraging you. Just sharing my experience. If you repost on JobCentre plus it will amend the start date to the date you posted the Job with closing date. Same thing happened with me and I had to wait for 28 more days from the date of change and yes, end date is quite important in t...

Dear All,

Can someone shed some light on this please?

Since you have written the cover letter you will be fine. I too wrote a cover letter about changes in the application form and got my visa. Nothing to worry about.

Dear Moderators, I recently received my T2 general visa for 5 years and after I received my visa since I had holidays, I applied for a new tatkal passport, reason being the old passport having the T2 visa was running out of pages. I am aware that the visas in the old passport remain valid even thoug...
