Hi, I am in UK on a spouse visa and my husband regularly beats me. I want to leave him for a few months, so he realizes that he is wrong. But I don't want to risk losing my dependent spouse visa. I know there is a Domestic Violence ILR route, but I don't want to get him arrested, because I think we ...

Hi,

I'm sick of all these visa requirements, and I want to do a sham marriage with an EU citizen. Does anyone know any agencies which can help me? How can I go on about it? Thanks

My PSW is expiring soon. Do I need to give my employer a notice period, or do they have to give me one? My employer isnt a licensed sponsor.

Can anyone share their experiences of switching from Tier 1 PSW to Tier 2? How tough was it? How rare is it for companies to sponsor Tier 2 after PSW?

Hi,

I'm on a Tier 1 PSW Visa and wanted to know how tough it is for those on PSW to get Tier 2 if they want to stay in their jobs and their employers have the sponsorship license?

Are companies typically willing to sponsor, as there's no RLMT or are they still fussy?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it legal for companies to not interview Tier 2 student visa candidates because they don't want to process their visas?
thanks

My friend's PSW is running out.. Can she apply for Tier 2 now without studying again?

I did my biometrics on May 24... Anyone else in the same boat?? Any idea how long we have to wait?

When does the PSW Visa normally start? Is it on the date you do the biometrics or when the card is printed? Thanks

Hi,

How long is the biometric processing time right now? I've heard some ppl have to wait 3 months!?!

Hi Noman,

My application got returned, so just wanted to ask you, is the date I FIRST applied considered the application date? And also did you have to update your bank statements? Thanks!!

This happened to me too. My lawyer suggested that I ask for my documents to be returned and re-submit the application with a covering letter. That's what I did, without adding anything extra.

Hi Pumnoo,

How long ago was this? Didn't you have to update your bank statements?

Thanks!

But even if you keep a copy of your app, you still have to re-apply...Difficult to argue with them..

Are you re-applying with a letter explaining everything?

Update: Got my acknowledgement letter dated Feb 8th today..

Let me know what you decide to do right now, as I may suffer the same fate as you..

My visa is also expiring after 9 days..I've made an enquiry as to why they haven't taken the fees, but haven't got any reply.. Also no acknowledgement letter..

Also, when did u receive the acknowledgement letter?

I'm glad someone else is in the same situation. Do you know how to find out what happened?

what happens if there's a late payment?

I've heard that if they don't deduct fees, that usually means your visa is going to get rejected..The UKBA just doesn't reply.. This is frustrating!

Yes, you can do that..

Hi,

I called the UKBA and made an enquiry on why they haven't deducted my fees. I suggest you do the same before your visa expires.

Has your fees been deducted yet? If our visa expiresby the time we hear from them, can we reapply from the UK explaining our situation?

But my visa is expiring at the end of this month. So that means I'll have to go abroad and apply. This is frustrating. I just wish they would tell me whether they are considering my application or not.
