Hello All,
I got my UK Tier1 General Visa stamping in September’ 2009. I’m currently residing in USA on H1b visa. My H1b visa transfer is in pending state for a while now. I’m planning to move to UK on Tier1 General Visa if my H1b transfer gets denied. I have few questions with regards to moving to UK on Tier1 General Visa.
Questions:
1. Like I said, I got my Tier1 General stamping in September’ 2009. What is my next step in process of moving to UK? Is there any other formality I need to complete before moving to UK?
2. What are the documents I need to show at port of entry in UK?
3. My spouse lives with me in USA. I did not apply the dependant visa on Tier 1 General when I applied. What is the procedure and supporting documents (Checklist) required to apply for a dependant visa and how long it usually is taking currently to get approval if applied from USA??
4. How should I look for accommodation immediately after moving to UK? Are there any extended stay kinds of hotels where I can get a hotel room on a monthly rate? Please advise any website where I can find places to stay at a reasonable rate.
5. What is the average cost of living in a month in UK?
6. How is the job marketing done in UK? Would I be applying directly to jobs or is it going to be through any consultancy?
7. How is job market for Database (Oracle, SQL Server) professionals?
8. Legally, how long one can stay in UK on Tier 1 General visa with no work?
9. I have US Driver’s License. Is it valid in UK?
10. What is the procedure to rent a car and how much is going to be the daily rate?
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
