Hello all,
Any help would be greatly appreciated - home office phone line says to get a laywer and the lawyer I saw is ghosting me.
Current Situation:
- Australian man on Tier 2 (1 year T2 and 2 years T5)
- Spanish/Irish woman with ILR
- Almost born UK baby
- Living in UK
Wanted situation:
- Mother/Baby 9 months maternity leave in Spain
- Australian T2 works from Spain/UK in ratio 3 weeks remotely to 1 week UK
(Assume EEA Family Member visa in Spain)
- T2 Employer is UK company - managers supportive remote working for 9 months.
Questions:
- Ignoring ILR 180 limit for Australian T2 - is there a requirement for T2 to be IN the country?
I can't see any concrete clause in guidance or the website.
Note: My employer has location tracking on my computer profile: satisfying the need to know where I am at all times.
- Is there a special circumstance request that can be put to home office to keep Tier 2?
- Is there a tier 2: multi-entry visa that could be applied for instead? I can't find information on this.
- Is there some other visa my employer could apply for?
Visitor Visa could potentially be used for 6 months to facilitate the attendance in the UK? But the requirements are quite strict and while I would be attending for a conference style week each time - it would be at the company I'm employed by which could look suspect.
- I read on these forms something about 4+ weeks out of country the employer needs to report - but I can't see that in the guidance?
- Is the only option here to have my employer submit the change in circumstances and hope for the best?
(What's the processing time like on those requests? Similar to the 8 week turn around for tier 5 extensions?)
