Tier 2 EC application and queries

[Shaz917]

Is it ok if the main applicant goes to uk first and the family follows after a month...this after applying for and getting a tier 2 visa and tier 2 dependent visa at the same time...or do they all have to arrive in uk traveling together?

[moonlight55]

Family can travel later as long as they travel within the 30 day visa expiry date.

[Shaz917]

Kindly tell me if the visa gets stamped for 3 months or 30 days for tier 2 visa

[vinny]

30 days.

[Shaz917]

Tier 2 visa
If the main applicant applies and after the visa approval dependents apply while main applicant has not yet travelled to UK..?
Is it allowed.?

[Wanderer]

Pretty sure it's not.

[CR001]

Yes, it should not be a problem provided the requirements and maintenance is met.

[Shaz917]

Kindly inform if there is a time limit to complete the application form online for uk visa ,once we have started filling it?

Kindly help !!
My husband is filling out general tier 2 visa application...he doesn't have his fathers date of birth...as he passed away years ago and there are no records of his DoB
1.What do we write in place of fathers DoB?
2.we had visited the UK on holiday 3 years ago...had filled out visa application form then too...my husband doesn't remember what DoB he entered for his father at that time....if the two dates are different...will that create any problems in the visa application??
How do we solve this???

1) Write Unknown if unknown.

2) Not much you can do if you cannot remember what you had submitted last time.

Next time keep a copy (& scans) of all forms & documents submitted (including payment details).
That should be standard practice for anyone on a migration journey. Keep such records safely for ever, you never know when you will need to refer to them again.

In my case I had entered wrong DoB of my father in my previous T2 app. This time I wrote the correct one and and put a note in the additional information section saying "...submitted wrong DoB due to an oversight in my previous app...". Worked out just fine.

My husband took out the PBS print out end March and and after filling the forms...submitted the visa application on the 19th of April ...
The interview date is 28th April...today(26 April) we found out that the new NARIC policy
We have applied for that as well...will that suffice ? Will the visa processors take it into consideration?

Will it make any difference if the Cos issuer is nhs and the job is for a highly skilled Doctor?

No. PBS calculator is no longer accepted for any applications. You need ELA/SoC NARIC.

@Shaz917, Is your husband extending his Visa or fresh application from outside of UK ?

@Shaz917, Is your husband extending his Visa or fresh application from outside of UK ?

I think the opening post, if not the title, answers that question pretty much clearly.

[ravisb_2014]

@geriatrix, Apologize for not going through the complete thread. Thanks for pointing it out.

[Shaz917]

Kindly tell me what the time limit is for submitting the manual application at a vfs centre once the online submission has been made.
I mean when is the last we can book an appointment after submitting online
