2. You can apply anytime, but make sure you apply close by time of current visa expiry date. Cause if you apply in Jan you might get extension up to 3 years from date of your application. i.e. until Jan 2019.
3. Yes you need a new COS assigned by your employer, ask for a copy of COS and keep it in for your record.
4. It’s good to have Employer letter stating your job title, SOC Code, current salary, cos number and employment start date and you current BRP number. They usually take this as a proof for dependant application, because your partner would be applying under same category as yours (T2G or T2G shortage occupation list). But it’s not mandatory though
Hi Rambo_ILR,
Thanks for clear explanation.
Regarding Point 1:
I found below line in UKBA document: (
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _11-15.pdf)
61. For example, where the Tier 2 Migrant is submitting an application because they are changing
employment within Tier 2,
neither the Tier 2 Migrant nor any family member is required to submit
evidence that they meet the maintenance requirement.
This talks about changing employment, but there is nothing mentioned about extension in any document.
I have contacted a lawyer and he insisted that we need funds to be shown? Dont know what to do?
Is this mentioned any where in the UKBA document?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards
DP
