I am trying to apply for the dependent visa for my child, after finishing my skilled worker extension application. Then the application asked for using the phone to verify my ID, which I have done when I submitted my application, so I did the same thing again, taking my photo, etc.. But then I ...

What I learned from an solicitor is that then they will consider my kids' visa application according to my wife's visa. Is this correct? Not quite. Yes, I also feel that this solicitor might have given me the wrong information.. I asked that while my current visa will expire soon, I am applying for ...

@badou can you desist from posting new topics and queries all over the forum and stick to ONE topic for extsnsion queries, this one, now merged.

Oh, thank you. Sorry about this.. I will stick to the same post.
Apologize for not understanding the rules earlier.

my kids were dependent on my visa, but a few days ago we applied for dependent visa for them, being dependent of my wife, Do you realize that they would've gotten the visa which ends at the same time as your old one? Visas are issued that end at the same time that less privileged parent's visas end ...

Dear friends, Our situation is the following: - my wife has a skilled worker visa, valid until 2026 spring - my skilled worker visa will expire in 10 days, while I just got my new CoS yesterday - my kids were dependent on my visa, but a few days ago we applied for dependent visa for them, being ...

I updated my answer above to clarify what I meant as I was talking about section 3C AFTER a decision was made. You can vary a pending application, as you described and maintain section 3C Thanks! That is really helpful! Then if I don't get my CoS on time, I will start a skilled worker visa without ...

You can't proceed with a new application while already under Section 3C. If you apply for a new visa while under section 3C (an out-of-time application), then section 3C will be terminated and you become an overstayer for the new application to proceed. Oh, I see.. This is super-important. I am ...

I understand that during the time waiting for the ILR application decision, the previous visa (skilled worker in my case) get extended automatically due to section 3C. And if my ILR get rejected and I appeal, section 3C again automatically extend my previous visa and I can legally stay and wait for ...

You must prove with lots of evidence you couldn't travel back to the UK for 1.5 years. I personally think such a claim is absurd and very unlikely to be accepted. A refusal for ILR has no effect but you could waste your time and money Yes. Indeed I could come back to the UK in 2020 summer - I ...

If applying for ILR, then you also should provide as much evidence as possible of being unable to travel back. Thank you! I have my doctor's letter suggesting me not to travel internationally, and my university's evaluation of my health as increased risk, emails arranging teaching remotely, and my ...

Paying the fee and submitting the application is fine. You can get an appointment after visa expires.

Thanks very much for the information! Very helpful!

Hi there, We applied for our kids' dependency visa and paid the fee in the UK, and now we need to make an biometric appointment and we have two choices: - get a free slot, but the earliest one is already after our kids' current visa expiration date - pay 286 GBP for two kids, to get a slot that is ...

Dear friends, May I ask the following question about the risk of applying for ILR: If I apply for ILR but waited long for a decision, and unfortunately the decision is no and by then my current skilled visa already expires, will I be able to apply for a skilled visa or dependent visa again from the ...

Thanks very much! Again you are being really helpful! Sorry for my misunderstanding. My visa will expire in two weeks, and I am waiting for my sponsor's CoS. - So I will either apply for a skilled worker visa extension longer than my wife's, if I get my sponsor's CoS on time; - Or I will apply for a ...

Dear friends, Thanks for your kind help for my previous questions, and may I ask a few questions about my children's dependent visa application? They have been staying in the UK as dependent of my Tier 2 visa, and it will expire in two week , and I am waiting for my employer to provide CoS for me ...

Thanks for the further suggestions and discussions! "If an employee can work mostly remotely, then that might suggest there was no good justification for them to be brought to the UK." Yes, but my employer - a university - only allowed us to work remotely and teach remotely during the COVID time ...

Thanks so much for the prompt and really helpful reply, and the clarification to my misunderstandings! "Employer letter re absence is mandatory for ILR" "if your application is refused (different to rejection), you lose the fee paid." "no physical passport is submitted to UKVI, it is all digital ...

Dear friends, May I ask a question about the ILR application? There are two complications in my application: 1. During COVID time, I was away from March 2020 to August 2021, for about 1.5 years. I work at a University and was abroad and teach online, with a permission from my employer. More details ...

I am about to enter UK with a tier 2 visa. However, my family are still in Schengen area and will move to UK 2 years later, so I would like to spend as many days as possible with the family in the first 2 years, likely more than 180 days. My employer is fine with that because I can work from home ...
