The employer sent an email to Business Helpdesk last week to consider renewal instead of new licence to avoid further issues. Even though the employer could have submitted for new licence on Monday, they decided to wait. But, after waiting and a couple of calls with HO (where they didn't get proper ...
Really appreciate your help Manci. But, I am getting more confused now. Earlier, you mentioned that my wife can continue working for 60 days from curtailment letter issue date (if issued). We also checked today about our status and we both still have original validity (means it's not curtailed yet)....
Thanks Manci for your help. A couple of questions for which I have been struggling to find answers are: If the employer manages to get a new licence in priority service before the possible curtailment period, can my wife continue working beyond curtailment automatically? Or the Employer has to issue...
Has the employer no longer access to their SMS account? No, they tried to login but couldn't. Then, they tried to 'reset' the password and they got the reset password link on email. With that, they managed to 'reset' the password. However, the system didn't allow to login with the new password, loo...

Thanks for your quick reply.. As an employee, do we have any right to appeal? Strangely, a simple lapse or mistake is causing a lot of trouble for both, employees and employer. Where the HO is really helpful in many cases, I understand such a trivial issue should have some way to appeal. The employe...
Employer just managed to contact the HO on phone, but not of much help. Employer asked about the status of Employee visa, but they could not find the information. They have provide a different number to contact on where they would provide information if any letter issued to curtail the visa. Not sur...
Thanks Manci for your prompt response. Checked with the employer, they did not receive any reminder about this. The employer is very supportive, so there is no question of their intention. They do want to renew now at any cost, but as you mentioned it's now not possible to renew and they have to get...
Hi, I am really in a very difficult situation. I am posting on my wife's behalf. Just realised that her employer's sponsorship licence has expired about a month ago. She was sponsored a Tier 2 General Visa for 5 years and her BRP was valid for another 2 years (till Dec-2023). I am urgently seeking g...
Thanks both for your quick replies. It's pretty clear about my wife's ILR eligibility. However, I am now more concerned as the end date on my BRP is same as my wife's which is 9th Dec 2023. If my BRP issue date is considered (which is 23rd Jan 2019) then I can not apply for ILR earlier than 25th Dec...
I am confused with various dates on which ILR continuous period of 5 years are considered. I switched my visa within UK from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General Dependent, the various dates involved were: 29th Nov 2018 - Application submitted in the UK to switch to Tier 2 General Dependent visa 23rd Jan 20...
Thanks for your quick reply. A few clarifications. 1. What if the SOC code remains the same, but her job title changes? 2. In case if she needs a new CoS (if SOC code changes), then what happens to my visa validity date - if the new CoS end date is later than the original - if the new CoS end date i...
My wife is working on Tier 2 General visa sponsored by her employer since Nov-2018. Her visa is valid up to Dec-2023. I am working in the UK on her dependent visa. Now, my wife is being promoted to a higher role within the same organization. With that the occupation code will be change. I have a few...
Thanks for your reply. Another question. Last year, my wife had about 20 carried over annual leaves from previous year 2018-19. She was asked to utilize most of her annual leaves in 2019-20 by her employer. She gets 28 days of annual leaves every year. So, she had 48 days (20 carried over from 2018-...
Thanks Cullinan for your quick response :) How about the below 2 points? 2. As remote working is possible in the current COVID situation, can I stay in the UK and work for my India employer or employer in any other country getting paid in country other than the UK without affecting my ILR eligibilit...
All, My wife is on Tier 2 General visa and I am on T2G Dependent visa for last 2 years. I am currently working in the UK on Secondment (employed in India who sent me to the UK on Assignment). I am getting paid by my UK subsidiary only with NO payment made in India. Now, my assignment in the UK is en...
Hi, I am applying for Schengen visa (through France) in the UK. I have submitted my form online on French Embassy website and booked appointment with TLS London. However, I am not getting any earlier appointments, so I randomly booked some slot thinking that I would be able to change it later. Howev...
Home Office adds 14 days of grace period from your end date mentioned on CoS while granting Tier 2 General visa. Now, when my dependent is trying to calculate Immigration Health Surcharge, it asks for visa end date which is little over 5 years and the system charges additional GBP 100 for 14 days. H...
Do we have any date from which the Immigration Health Surcharge will be doubled? The amendment has been approved and it says 'in december' which is very ambiguous. Can they implement the change with immediate effect from 12am on 1st December 2018? Appreciate your assistance as I am about to file my ...
Hi All, I couldn't find topic for this subject, so starting now. My employer submitted for RCoS last week, but status is still 'Pending', and has not changed to 'Under Review' yet. However, all our previous applications changed to 'Under Review' on the next day of application submission and received...
I am currently working as Tier 2 ICT Dependant for an organization. My organization is recruiting for a senior position for which I've internally applied and RLMT has been done. I am now selected for this position and my company is planning to apply for my RCoS under Tier 2 General category. I have ...
Finally, after struggling almost a year, my RCoS REJECTED!!! :( very much disappointing and disturbing because this is the first time HO reviewed our application and documents and now they say they are not satisfied.!! After applying for last 10 months with the same details and after sending documen...
