I hear you there. Same thing with establishing whether one is to pay Home fees or International fees at university. No matter how long you have cohabited if you still have no ILR or Settled Status, if unmarried it's International, if married it's Home. Such is life. It is my understanding that EU c...
Your salary has to meet the minimum salary requirements for Tier 2, if you want to switch to the new Skilled worker stream then you are free to do so but note that the salary level that needs to be met is the higher of i) the minimum salary requirements for the skilled worker visa stream or ii) the ...
If I was in the situation as stated and I could raise £20K or so then I would probably be looking at either getting myself or my partner in higher education (HE). If one partner goes into university level full-time education then the dependent can work in any job at any skill level. Further to this,...
I don't think that just investing in shares or buying and holding other types of assets (e.g crypto assets, real estate etc) is forbidden. I also have an investment account and an ISA that I use to invest in equities. People with no right to work in the UK at all can hold UK assets so I don't unders...
1.Settled status allows UK benefits but pre-settled status does not. Your wife can take Universal Credit as she has settled status and she must make a joint claim as she lives with a partner, but she might not be able to take Universal Credit benefit money for you until you hold settled status: unl...
An ILR holder pays home fees whilst a Tier 2 holder pays international fees, you might want to consider deferring your dependent's entry into HE to 2021 when they will get home fee status.
Googling around, it seems as though the licence processing time pre-Covid was 6-8 weeks. If the company has only just recently applied for it's license then it's probably not going to get the license in time. Also, with the Covid situation, processing times have most likely increased quite a bit.
Thanks for your explanation. It is very helpful. I have not get any confirmation on the salary from the company. But I heard there must be a certain threshold salary to apply for Tier 2. Q1: Is it correct that for the minimum salary is £20,800? Ref: https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/blog/6657/Tier-4-to-Tie...
Thank you very much for your reply. Where can i know how long it take to get Tier 2 visa from the date I make an application? I am waiting for my company HR, my last email said: My interview with hiring manager was successfully. Any advice, what is the next step? Are they preparing COS (certificate...
so is fine to switch before completion PhD, if i decided to give up PhD, is fine too. Yes, it's fine even if you are not intending on completing the PhD at all. As long as you have completed at least 12 months of your PhD then you should be able to switch. Note that you can also continue with your ...
The information you posted has already answered your question. It is very common for PhD students to switch to a Tier 2 visa before completion and many people, including myself, have done it.
The question on maintenance has already been answered by the poster above, whether or not you will need to certify maintenance is wholly up to your sponsor. I found the site below from Health Education England (HEE), it explains all processes that surround the issuance of Tier 2 visas to overseas NH...
Hi I came here in 2017 on tier 2 with my 4 kidz.2 of them are still under 18(16+ and 15) and are studying in schools here. I am also most likely to be made redundant shortly. Do the HO will consider educational disruption of children as one of the factors for curtailment of leave. Can they extend t...
A suspended sentence is usually classified as a custodial sentence even though there is a chance the convicted person might never get taken into custody. Where are you reading that? The current guidance for UKVI caseworkers on this specific matter very clearly says the opposite. See https://www.gov...

Tier 2 visa holders can open ISA's as it is not considered as public funds, the requirement for opening one is that you are resident in the UK (which a Tier 2 visa holder will be). Even if you get the Lifetime ISA where you would get the 25% bonus you would not be breaking the law. You also don't ne...
Yes in next 2.5 to 3 years I can apply for citizenship if I can attain German B1 and clear the integration test so in a way that is possible just that it is difficult to learn a language and become conversational in that especially if one is working and have a family. Also any reason "Brexit" is re...
Students: refer to local information pages You are on a Tier 4 visa, right? What do the local information pages say about requirements for students? No, I am on a Tier 2, I switched from a Tier 4 before starting. That might complicate things. Personally, I'd gather as much documentary evidence of y...
Hi! Where are you applying from? If it is from Namibia (based on your flag) you will have to go to Germany Consulate in Windhoek and here are the requirements . As you can see, you only need to provide your bank account statements, so you can skip the salary slip stuff. However if the requirement a...
I would like to apply for a French business Schengen visitor to attend a meeting but the 3 month payslip requirement is preventing me from doing so. Is there anyway of getting around this? I can't provide three months payslip as I am brand new on the job. I have just started a research position at a...
You will most likely have no issue being allowed into the UK as a EU citizen. This is especially true if you have no serious criminal convictions under your belt. The bar for EU citizens is much lower than for non-EU citizens so just because you weren't able to come as a non-EU citizen does not mean...
Hi! I was granted a Tier 4 visa in late 2015 to undertake a PhD but it seems that the number of part-time hours I was granted on my BRP was only 10 hours maximum instead of the 20 hours max that I should have got. Now, given that the window for submitting for an administrative review has now long lo...
