Applied for 5 years skilled worker visa but got of years

Post by Goenitz » Thu Apr 18, 2024 6:39 pm

Hi,

I have received an email from the Home Office about my successful application. However, it shows that I have been granted a visa for 3 years instead of 5.

Though I had applied for 5 5-year visa with all the fees for me and my family (3 applicants). I think I have a review within 14 days after I receive my BRP.

Is it ok? I mean HO sometimes makes a mistake? and I cannot fight it? or it can be an email error and I should wait until I have actual BRP in my hand?

Regards

Are you outsider the UK?

What dates for length did the cos have?

All brp cards expire 31 december 2024 regarldess if how long a visa you have been granted. Brp cards are being phased out and it will be a digital system.

What route did you apply under? (I guess skilled worker)
Is your COS for 5 years?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, my CoS is for 5 years (Mar 2024 - Mar 2029).

I am not still successful in logging into the evisa site as the NFC cannot find the chip in my BRP. I will try a different phone.

It will take 7-10 days more for the BRP to be delivered by mail.

Hi,

Just an update.

The length of leave is also stated as 3 years when I checked it online.How could they do that when I have
1) CoS for 5 years
2) I paid for 5 year visa fee (1500 £)
3) NHS for 5 years

I applied before the IHS fee hike. As part of visa services are privatised, did they do it deliberately to maximise profits from hoards of last-minute applicants?

However, it is so strange that I cannot find any precedents online.

Simply apply for an administrative review!!

Nothing deliberate. Probably just an error.

Thank you.

I also think it is just an error but an afraid mind just goes in all directions.

Yes, I will apply for the administrative review within 14 days once I receive my BRP by mail.

Regards
