Hi,whythewait wrote:Hello. I am writing to see if anyone has been in a similar situation or could offer some advice.
On February 1, I applied for a tier 2 visa (changing employers). I submitted my biometrics on February 23. My work contract with my old employer ended at the end of February. Since then, I have been unable to start work with my new employer because I am still waiting for my visa.
I've written to UKBA explaining my situation and asking them if they could give me an estimate of how much longer I might have to wait. I haven't received any response.
I am concerned with how long my visa is taking to process, both because of my financial situation and because it seems to be taking much longer than what is being reported in the timelines on this board. I thought my application would be straightforward. Does this delay mean that it is likely to be rejected?
The delay does not mean that your application is likely to be rejected, it is simply that it hasn't reached a caseworker yet.whythewait wrote: on this board. I thought my application would be straightforward. Does this delay mean that it is likely to be rejected?
Is this likely to be helpful? I asked my HR if they could do anything, and they said that they didn't think they could contact UKBA on my behalf. Should I apply more pressure?sinha wrote:Hi
My advise is if ur company HR writes letter keep follow up often it can work bit faster this helped me bit and it depends on what explantion is made
there is something employers sponsors hotline
