Hi,

I will complete my 5 years on Tier 2 General on 26/05/2019.

We have some questions when filling the online form.
1 ) When did you first enter the UK?

I applied for Tier 2 General from the UK when I was on Post Study Work
My PSW visa details are here:
25/04/2012 To 25/04/2014 - Post Study Work validity
travel dates on this visa
25/05/2012 Entry
10/02/2013 - 03/03/2013 (Travel exit and entry)
20/02/2014 - 07/03/2014 (Travel exit and entry)

Then while I was still in UK I applied for first Tier 2 General on 24/04/2014 (just before PSW expiry) and it's validity started from 27/05/2014.

What date should I put here?

27/5/2014.. this question states that it is based on your qualifying period only


2) Have you spent any of your two, three or five year continuous period (as appropriate) with leave to enter or remain in the Crown Dependencies?
For Dependant we have this question, we never travelled to any other country except India in the past 5 years. Should the answer be 'No'?

Obviously

3) Does the period of stay on which this application was based include any leave granted since 11 January 2018?
For dependant, we have this question. We are confused with the question here. Does this mean if my partner got the PBS Dependant visa before or after 11 January 2018? She got her visa same time as mine 27/05/2014.
It asks it any part of the qualifying period (5 years) that is even if your current visa/brp was issued after 11th Jan 2018. If it was only after 11th Jan 2018 dependents are subject to absences, otherwise not. What is the issue date on the current brp you hold?

4) Last question, Can the employer letter be addressed to UKVI any branch, because my employer letter about leaves and all details is addressing UKVI in Bermondsey (Becket House, 60-68 St Thomas St, Bermondsey, London SE1 3QU), is it fine? I will be applying in the Croydon branch though or by post.
Simply to “Home Office” or “To Whom It May Concern”

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards

Hi thanks for the reply both!

Other questions is fine but I have two different replies for my first question:

1) When did you first enter the UK?

Still confused!
