Thanks CR001.

Just a follow up question on this. Now they have decided to switch as T2G (PBS) dependents. I assume both the ICT holder and ICT dependent can switch as Tier 2 General dependent in UK and dont have to travel to home country. Could you please confirm?

While the family was in UK, husband found a sponsor and went back to home country and applied a Tier 2 general and came to UK with the new VISA Currently the VISAs are still t...

@takdeerwala Thank you, I did end up giving them a white envelope in the end anyways.

Hi Hippo,

Have you received your surrender certificate? How long did it take? The reason for asking is I’m on bit tight timescales for surrender and OCI.

Has anyone used the ELA certificate that you got before april 2016 for naturalisation recent...

Hi Kris, I applied for NARIC for my wife couple of weeks back. You need to use the Red Route mentioned in their website. It is specific to UKVI. It gives both english language assessment and statement of comparability. I spoke to UKNARIC and they mentioned all UK VISA applicants should use Red route...

Now the wait begins..

Some members have put a date 3 years ahead to get the IHS to calculate correctly. So is it a valid practice to do so? Original expiry date is 25 feb 2019. If we apply now, can we put expiry date as 25 feb 2021?? Also in the main application form its asking for all my tier 2 general visa details tho...
