ok thank you for clarifying

Hello, My UK timeline looks like this: 2012-2014 - In UK on Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa 2014-2016 - In UK on Tier 2 General Visa 2016-present - Obtained Portuguese citizenship, so left Tier 2 visa and stay in the UK as EU citizen to continue working I would like to apply for UK Indefinite Leave to Re...

Hi,

I was in the UK for two years under Tier 2.
Now I'm in the UK as an EEA resident.

Will I be able to combine both times in an application for permanent residency, or do you have to choose one category?

thanks

Hi, I was on a tier 2 visa until May 2016 when it expired. I remained in the UK as an EU citizen because I got Portuguese citizenship in April 2016. Since then I've crossed the border several times with no problem as an EEA resident and have been working in the UK the entire time on PAYE and sometim...

I live & work in the UK. I received Portuguese citizenship in April 2015. Previously I was on a Tier 2 visa for two years, and then previous to that on Tier 5 for 2 years. I arrived in the UK in April 2012. With all the Brexit uncertainty, I'm wondering if it is prudent for me to apply for the EEA (...

I'm a Canadian / Portuguese citizen working in the UK. From 2012-2016, I was working in the UK as a Canadian under a work visa: 2012-2014 Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme 2014-2016 Tier 2 During this time I've been full-time employed and paying National Insurance contributions. In May 2016 I received Po...

Hi, I'm a new Portuguese citizen with a new Portuguese ID card, but currently I'm a Canadian on Tier 2 which expires 1 May. I have a job in the UK. I have given my employer my new ID. I have mailed immigration enforcement with a copy of my new Portuguese ID card explaining my situation. I am leaving...

I have a Canadian passport with Tier 2 visa which expires 1 May. Currently living/working in the UK. Just got Portuguese citizenship. In the process of getting a Portuguese citizen ID card. May need to visit Canada to visit a sick family member. If I leave the country and come back what documentatio...

I'm in the Tier 2 appeal process because my application to extend my Tier 2 General visa was refused. I haven't heard back on the appeal yet. I have until the end of the month to apply again. Parallel to this I've just found out I've been granted citizenship in another EU country. They're issuing me...

A family member of mine is in the United Kingdom on an EEA2 visa. Her husband is a dual Irish / Canadian citizen. They are both currently living in the UK. Her husband may take work abroad, which will mean her right to work in the UK will expire. If that does happen, and if she stops working, how lo...

if I appeal and that fails, will I be able to apply again for a new extension visa? I'm just wondering the timeline because leave expires 1 May so I need to sort out if I apply for standard service, or expedited service, or to try the appeal route first. Any thoughts? Is it helpful to see a lawyer? ...

Ok. So probably what has to happen is my employer needs to request a new unrestricted CoS, then assign that to me when they get that, then I have to apply for leave again - because an appeal will probably fail? How long does it typically take for a request for an unrestricted CoS to be approved? Why...

Tier 2 General renewal rejected. Have been in UK for 2 years. Applied for visa renewal in January using my old certificate of sponsorship (I thought this was what I needed), not knowing that my employer had not created a certificate of sponsorship for me. I have 14 days to apply for an administrativ...

Yeah my visa is valid until 1 May.
No my employer didn't give the new CoS to me.
But they said they applied for it and got it.

My employer didn't give me the new number when I applied. What's the best thing to do?

Hi, I've been in the UK for almost 2 years under Tier 2. I applied to renew my visa last month (to stay under Tier 2 general). I just got a letter that my Tier 2 application for leave to remain was refused. This is because I used the wrong Certificate of Sponsorship reference (I used my old CoS inst...

Hi, I'm applying to have my Tier 2 visa renewed (in country). My employer will also be giving me a salary raise. What comes first - do I apply for the new visa (the form asks me what my current salary is) and do I wait to get the visa to get the raise, or can I also get a raise while the visa applic...

Ok, so is an Increment letter something that is within the SMS and that my employer has to take care of?

Can you should me where the documentation is on the Internet about an increment letter, and where it says it is possible to get a raise?

Sorry I can't find it in the RMLT.

Thanks so much!

Hey Immigration Board people. I have permission to stay under Tier 2 (General) until April 2016. My employer is going to renew my visa. I am here under SOC 2137 “Web design and development professionals”. When I first came to the UK on this visa, my rate of pay was 25200 for an “experienced” worker....

Ok. So what is the process, does my employer apply for the visa extension, and then I apply through gov.uk?

Where did you get the information that my employer does not have to reduce my pay?


Thanks

I have permission to stay under Tier 2 (General) until April 2016. I want to stay on the same job with the same employer therefore I want them to apply to renew my visa. I am here under SOC 2137 “Web design and development professionals” When I first came to the UK on this visa, my rate of pay was 2...

They're able to do PAYE but can't do a contract. Can you explain why a contract would be necessary for some supplementary work?

It's casual - I'm not sure if it is self employed. I will check.
If it is not self-employed is it OK?

I am in the UK on a Tier 2 general under a Web developer SOC code working full time. I was offered an additional short term part time work that is under 20 hours per week (as a casual freelancer) and is also Web development. Thus it is 'at the same professional level as the work for which my Certifi...

My Tier 2 visa lasts until spring 2016. The stamp is in my passport, and my passport expires this summer so I need to apply for a new passport soon. What is the procedure for getting an updated stamp from the home office to put in a new passport? How long does it take to get the visa put in a new pa...
