Re: 2 RCOS application for one person, is that possible ??

Thanks apazhe for your reply mate, I just want both the companies apply for me for September months allocations and then based of the approval i’ll choose one company to go with and ask them to assign the RCOS to me, only if that’s legal. In this way I can keep both the chances open, as I don’t wan...

Re: 2 RCOS application for one person, is that possible ??

Does it means that you accept 2 offers? I'm not sure how it looks from legal point of view but it characterise you not very bad from employer point of view.
AFAIK there are no issues with requesting rcos, the problem will be at the moment when employer will try to assign rcos on you.

Re: Priority or Super priority ?

well, in any ukvi emails they have the following part "We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents."

You really can't predict how much time it will take.

Re: Tier 2 Application Form and IELTS SELT reference number

Any reason why you can't simple specify that you have certificate? They need this number to be specified at Tier 2 General Visa application form. As they will need to check the test online using this "SELT Number". Not sure that this is completely true. I just did my own application and received vi...

AFAIK with recent changes there is no need for original documents anymore.
UKVI works with electronic version of all documents and only need original current passport.

Re: Tier 2 priority service delay

No idea how this actually work. My understanding is that decision happens in UK but passports located in embassy. So whenever decision made, embassy in country should get notification, print vignette and send passport back to visa center.

I really doubt that there are around 2000 applications with >= 60K salary.
