Thanks mate.

The consultant is applying via the priority application. Thanks for bringing up the sponsor license renewal, it hadn't even crossed my mind. I'll be sure to let me company know about this. Would you happen to know how much it costs to renew the license.

Thanks.

@hassanh You were spot on. There is no COS allocation and needs to be applied for. I have got in touch with the consultant and they confirmed it, they will assist with my case.Fingers crossed it will work out.Please let me know if there's anything else that I need to keep in mind/or get done. Thank ...

Thanks again for your reply.

I'll contact the consultant and inquire about the COS. My company is listed in the "REGISTER OF SPONSORS (Tiers 2 & 5 and Sub Tiers Only)" list, by any chance does this mean that COS allocation was renewed.

Many thanks for your reply @hassanh. My company should have remaining COS allocation as I'm the only person on sponsored Visa. My company had availed the services of an immigration consultant for my initial application though I'm not sure who had actually obtained the COS.(I had got it in an email f...

Hello All, I'm on a Tier 2 General Visa which is due to expire in march. I wish to apply for an extension (3yrs) however my company has told me to pursue the application on my own. My company is an overseas one with a branch in UK and they have no HR personnel in UK. 1>How straightforward is the app...

@Vishal05 what info do you need?

Thanks Vinny

Hi, I have recently switched visa from Tier2 ICT Long Term Staff Partner to Tier2 General. I have been told that i can apply for ILR after 5 years in the Tier2 General Visa . I had spent 1.5 years in UK on Tier2 ICT Long Term Staff Partner visa before switching the visa category. My question is will...

Just to update, i have received my Tier 2 General Visa on the second attempt. My employer was kind enough to let me reapply. I was assigned a new COS with reduced work hours which then led to my salary fall within the appropriate limit. Thereafter it was just a matter of going through the applicatio...

Thanks again Manci. I realise that the only option would be to go through the entire process again. Its kind of unfortunate that the immigration consultant company who acted on behalf of my employer to help me with the visa overlooked this.All I can do now is pray and hope my employer has the patien...

Thank you Manci. I have checked the CoS, the salary and weekly working hours are indeed £46000 and 48 hours respectively. However I have a feeling that the working hours mentioned in my contract maybe incorrect,I'll clarify tomorrow with my office. I know i can go back and resume work but I want to ...

Hi Manci, Thanks again for the reply. The figure mentioned in the letter is £33,833 however he has got my salary wrong,its £46000 (as mentioned in COS) and not £46600. Not a big difference but still he's got it wrong. Do you know how he arrived at this figure. While i understand that the review will...

Hi Manci, Thank you for answering my query. I'm in India at the moment and had applied for the visa from India. When you say I would need a new COS with either reduced working hours or increased salary, does that mean I'll have to go through the entire process of Labour market test and then apply fo...

Hi All, I would like to get advice on what are my options as I had my Tier 2 General Visa application rejected today. According to the letter that i received the reason for refusal is as mentioned below -: "ECO Comment: Your Certificate of Sponsorship states that your prospective employment as ...

i need to finish my probation period of 6 months before i can apply.

can someone please confirm if i will need to maintain £900 in my Bank account for 90 consecutive days as maintenance fund when i apply.

I came across maintenance (funds) criteria while i was checking my points eligibility on the UKBA website today. Unfortunately i don't have £900 in my Bank account for 90 consecutive days. However I have a rented flat in London with a valid agreement till end of April 2014 (my wife's name is also in...

Thanks again Manci

Thanks again Manci. Probably my last question.
Its been only a month since i have started working in UK and this is my first job and company. My colleagues are telling me that i need to wait six months before applying for the visa as i would need to provide 6 months salary slip. Is this correct.

Manci,thank you a million times for answering my questions. On my Boss's suggestion i had spoken to a couple of other guys in office who have switched visa category. One of them mentioned that when i apply for Tier 2 (G) i have to be in India for at least 8-12 weeks ,as this is the standard visa pro...

I spoke to my company today and explained my situation to them. My Boss was understanding and is willing to sponsor me subject to management approval. However he doesn't want me to get tied to one company for 5 yrs. Also he mentioned that the time i spend in UK on a sponsored visa will not count tow...

My Apologies but a quick one please....If i change job in Tier 2 General will i need to reapply for sponsorship again.

As I'm under the impression that in my present Tier 2 Staff Partner visa i can change jobs without the need of another visa.

Thank you Manci. Appreciate your kind words.

Thank you for the speedy reply Manci. I was unable to find my job title in the second link however i believe my current salary will meet the minimum requirements. But applying from India is not a ideal situation as my company may not see it as a good option. Just curious , can another company sponso...

Hi All, I'm currently living in UK on a Tier 2 ICT Long Term Staff Partner visa valid till October 2015. Currently I am working in an IT company. My personal situation might change soon as my wife and I are considering separation. We are both Indians and as such we would have to file for divorce fro...
