Thanks for the detailed information. Could you please help me on the below doubts?rockcbe wrote:Hi All,
My Application was approved a day back . Thanks to a lot of people in this forum who helped more than one occasion...
Basically had a nightmare of experience over the past few months with a umbrella styled T2G company where I had to do Business Dev. & also work as contractor and what not.. god's grace got a good company to sponsor now and all is fine... Below is my experience ..hope it helps...
1.) Get the sponsor to do RLMT ,
2.) In country COS should be Tier 2 - Changes Of Employment -> This is a unrestricted Cos and employers usually take a few mins to assign this. Check all details are correct ( mine had wrong NI number, which the sponsor send a amendment note , you will not get any proof , but have to take sponsors word for that).
3.) Online form is very easy to fill up and u don't have to carry a lot of stuff and paperwork. So did Online form
https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/extend-your-visa - > Apply Online.
4.) Book the appointment & pay fees online .
Documents Required.
Primary Applicant
1.) Print out of premium appointment
2.) Print of Coversheet , your actual application will be sent online to UKVI and you will not need that. just the cover sheet which is 6 pages will be required , which can be printed after paying the fees..
3.) CoS Summary sheet .
4.) 2 Photographs & Passports
5.) You don't need to show maintenance, but my employer had maintenance option checked .
Dependant -Spouse
1.) 2 Photographs,
2.) Passports
3.) Evidence of relationship and address.
You are required to provide 2 . I opted for NHS registration letter and Bank statement.
a.) Added wife as joint account holder and got her statement done , Went to bank and they also provided a letter with last one month statement.
b.) NHS - paid GP fee and got a letter from GP that we are registered after giving change of address takes about 5-6 days for the whole thing. I was also able to call the tvphs and ask them to send my cards , which they did in 4-5 days which had updated address and also said GP registration letter
4.) No maintenance doc required if applying together , you can choose status as that of primary applicant while doing on-line form
Dependant - Son
1.) 2 Photographs
2.) Passports
I also gave them a seperate cover letter stating documents given and that NI number was wrong and has been amended
Premier Center- Croydon.
1.) we were there like 30 mins before the time and were standing in a long Q .
2.) later found premier entrance was the next door and we didn't have to stand there..
3.) went in , did security screening and then was sent to registration counters, followed by BRP which took a while with my kid, and then waiting lounge where we kept looking screens for an hour
4.) Got the application done and no waiting for BRP card.
The reason I did Premium , is cause I hate doing paper work and its getting to know the status soon and to negotiate a notice period soon.
Now will talk to my current employer and negotiate on Notice Period.
Thanks a lot and hope this helps...
Till around mid of 2017 , havent received the BRP yet1) When was your old visa due to expire? and for how long you got the new visa from now?
2) Is it really mandatory to apply for dependants immediately though their current visa is valid until 2016?

1) As most companies require immediate resources and my current employer has 3 months notice period, I can't see anyway how to find a new employer who can give me that much joining time.
This ultimately boils down to how easily you can convince your current employer to the notice period and how long your new employer is willing to agree.. Don't resign without your visa being approved. If your current employer asks you to pay your notice then you might be ready to do that
2) My visa is valid till April 2015. Is it possible to quit the job and stay in UK until I find a new job?
If your current employer curtails the visa post resignation , you may not have that luxury . But again your notice period counts , like you said if its 3 months , then I would say you would have another 180 days from the last day of work ( assuming the do that on your last day )
3) Once I get a new job, how long does it take to get the COS and the visa?
COS - depends on RLMT , 28 days and then possibly immediately they should be able to assign if they have remaining ones to assign to you
4) In the new job, when my contract expires, how much time I can get to find a next job?
your employer would apply for 3/5 yrs COS and you would apply visa based on that. you will basically have 180 days if I am not wrong to leave the country
