Hi Zimba Thanks for the response. The employee was kind enough to send his passport page, so I decided to submit an ILR application. I am filling up my ILR form and I'm confused about two questions - Q1) For job creation Table B7, I have filled it in the attached format. Could you please let me know...

Hi, I spoke over phone with HO today regarding the issue above. The representative said that HO guidelines do not specifically ask for passport number, however, it does not at the same time mention that it is ok to not have the passport number. He mentioned that I could take a chance and leave the d...

Hi there, I'm going to apply for my ILR in two weeks. I had employed a staff for just one month last year. While taking his identity documents I didn't realise that he had blurred his passport number and also the side strip with passport number on it. He is a British citizen, his name, DOB, photo an...

Thanks Zimba!

Then I'll go with the 1st option. I was a bit concerned as for one employee I would claim 23 months but for the other employee just one month in a different position. Thanks once again for the clarification.

Zimba, many thanks for your response. I have couple queries in that case: - I have employed one employee for 21 months. I also employed another employee for another job, however, that post was made redundant after one month of his employment. As a result, he left the company. Can we consider this on...

Hi all, I was also granted Entrepreneurship visa pre April 2014. My first 3 years visa was valid until 15th July 2016. The extension for another 2 years was granted on 1st September 2016 which is valid until 26th August 2018. I am planning to apply for my ILR by 10th August 2018. However, I just rea...

Thanks for the response. It appears that not all jobs under the SOC code 2136 are part of shortage occupation list.

Any response is appreciated.

Yesterday I posted the above query. After carefully reading various notes, I think the following error has happened: When I applied in 2015, my employer said on CoS that labour market test has been done and the explanation given was that since I already worked with them and I was switching from Tier...

I am on Tier 2 visa and I just applied for my extension application. My employer received the following email from Home Office: "The Certificate of sponsorship ref () states the job is a shortage occupation under soc code 2136. However the applicants original Certificate of sponsorship ref () states...

One of my friends is extending his Tier 2 general visa next week. Four months back his wife joined him from India on Tier 2 dependent visa and she will also be renewing her visa. Do they need to submit any evidence demonstrating that we live together or that we are married. When she applied the depe...

Thanks all for the response. One more question - The CoS renewal form says - If you wish to renew a Tier 2 or Tier 5 category, please provide as much relevant detail as possible with your request, including why skilled migrants are required, attempts to recruit from he resident labour market, the jo...

Thanks Dan883!

Is there anything we need to add/ remove from the reason for renewal?

Thanks CR001 for the reply.

The employee is 27 years old and the SOC is 2136 (Programmers and software development professionals)

When we issued CoS in 2014 and now it is the time for our employee to review his Visa. Since our CoS is expired in Sept 2015 we have to apply for a renewal. I have two questions: 1) Is the below para good enough to renew our Certificate of Sponsorship?

 We would like to renew our Certificate of Spo...

Thanks for the response. I was not sure whether I still qualify for the rules applicable before April 2014 (i.e. employing one person for two years). Post April 2014, we are expected to employ people for two different positions for 12 months each, but pre April 2014 we could employ one person for 24...

@Zimba, thanks for your response in the other thread.

Hi, can someone please tell me what should be the date on accountant's compilation report. I'm sending accounts for year ending 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
