Re: Making China appointment while in UK?

I’ll be applying my dependent visa separately. Surely when they check her documents they’d see that she used to live in UK on a dependent visa? I feel like the only requirement was to submit application in person in home country but where to submit online appointment shouldn’t matter. But I suppose ...

Tier 2 ICT cooling period

Can anyone advise if I switch to Tier 4 visa after finishing 5 years of Tier 2 ICT, would that serve as a cooling off period so I can apply for Tier 2 General after a year? Thanks.

Re: Checking Tier 2 ICT extension application status

Is there a way to check the application status online? No there is no online service anymore. It was disabled and taken down on 12 December. Applications can take up to 8 weeks, sometimes longer. Yeah I was too optimistic about the "within 8 weeks" time frame. Is it not possible to pay after for a ...

Re: Tier 2 ICT Long term Extension changes?

The applicant usually applies as the applicant has to submit biometrics etc and sign the form. If your employer is going to do it 'for you', make sure all the information is correct as if it is not, you are the one that will get deception refusal against your name. Employers also rarely pay the vis...

Re: Tier 2 ICT Long term Extension changes?

Sorry from bringing this up, just wondering if anyone know from their experience that does employer usually apply for this extension or do we HAVE to do it ourselves? My employer reckons they can do it (apart from just generating CoS) but I'm worried that it's not true.

Re: Tier 2 ICT Long term Extension changes?

I've seen that but company doesn't like me doing it myself. Did you have to get a new CoS for the extension?

Re: Possible ILR next year?

Tier 2 ICT issued after April 2010 does not lead to ILR. So you would not qualify anyway. Thanks for the information, I've certainly heard that before but information are confusing. What are the options for Tier 2 ICT visa holders to extend their stay? As I understand the maximum length of stay all...
