Yes. I've prepared all the required documents .*FC* wrote:Do you have all the documentary evidence for Salary etc?
Can you get references from your company incase you intend to apply for Tier ?
I don't agree on your point.will you be playing your chances of being sent back to your country of Origin?
Indeed!goldfish wrote:HR in some companies is not very well-informed about T1G rules and extensions.
correct. I would like to provide stable life for my life.goldfish wrote: Do your own analysis and if you meet requirements, apply whatever HR says. Ultimately the only person who really has an interest in the outcome is you.
I wasn't referring to the technical aspects of your application but about the HR aspects of your organisation. And it was based on the assumption that you wouldn't inform your HR about the application.sys4tibco wrote:As I know, failed to get T1G is just fail.. T2ICT is still valid I guess.
If I got T1G then that T2ICT will be expired automatically.
I told HR and they had a concern about their COS.
but company allowed me to apply T1G conversion with skeptical view.
understand your point.*FC* wrote:

If you say that you have already informed your HR that on arrival in the UK on their Tier 2 visa you are planning to apply for Tier 1G and that they are happy about it, then it is no concern to anyone.
sys4tibco wrote:Hi, I will relocate to UK early March 2011 with T2ICT.
However with T2ICT, I can only stay next 5 years and no more extension after that.
So I'm trying to applying T1G as soon as I arrive UK.
However as I heard from HR of my company, they gave me an opinion this is impossible approach to get T1G.
From my understanding, If I have valid visa to stay in UK, then I'm eligible to apply T1G till 5th of April.
( of course all required conditions are met : income,IELTS... )
What do you think? Could anyone give an opnion about this case?
Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Let me explain my situation.aliq09 wrote: Suppose , i am working in a company and they give me a visa ( in your case work visa ) so how on earth will the same company will allow you to go for TIER1. The moment , you will get it , you can fly and have nice per hour job from other .
very good point. however judgement should be based on the rule not the perception.aliq09 wrote:
During your application , this will be notice by home office also as they think you are trying to play with the system . All the member here will say yes! on my statement that a person is just landing on TIER2 and needs TIER1 in next months . So try to get a very good answer for it .
that's why I want to listen other's valuable opinion. thanksaliq09 wrote:
2) Your earning will be a great part in your application so you have to be 100% sure what you are doing ..
Good point.aliq09 wrote: My opinion : stay on the visa you are and enjoy life here with work as most of us searched for it 2 months ))))
That is the reason why I tried this path.meowmeow wrote:The UKBA website says that you catch switch to Tier 1 (G) from any Tier 2 category (from inside the UK):
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... switching/
So there shouldn't be any reason why you can't apply for Tier 1 (G) once you're in.
Thanks goldfish .goldfish wrote:Good luck sys4tibco. If you read the rules and guidance carefully and you meet the requirements, for sure apply for T1G. Whether you company likes it or not that you have applied (and it sounds as though you have their support) and speculations on what caseworkers might or might not think about your application - are irrelevant.
It seems I can't apply T1G.ADDENDUM Tier 1 General – Interim Limits
ADDENDUM Tier 1 General
IMPORTANT NOTE
From 23 December 2010 Tier 1 (General) is closed to overseas applicants.
Applications from people who are not already in the UK with leave in a category that permits switching into Tier 1 (General) will no longer be accepted.
I'm in Switzerland now. but I will be in UK early March 2011 within the same company.mtuckersa wrote:where are you currently located/resident/employed? In or outside UK?
I don't understand your point. what I abuse the system?sudeepss wrote:you can legally able to switch to tier 1 but the company which you are working for will never get tier 2 visa's if home office decides what you are doing is purely abuse of the system and may be in future they may bring some new rule like no switching from tier 2 to any visa...
Thanks for your valuable response.goldfish wrote:My interpretation would be: If you are outside the UK and intend to apply from outside the UK, applications are closed. If you intend to apply from inside the UK, this statement isn't relevant and you would need to see which rules are relevant based on when you intend to apply.
If you're arriving in the UK in March, you'll need to apply for Tier 1 G pretty quickly before it closes on 5 April. Will you be able to get your documents and evidence together in time?sys4tibco wrote:I'm in Switzerland now. but I will be in UK early March 2011 within the same company.mtuckersa wrote:where are you currently located/resident/employed?
