Hi everyone,

Just because I know that I would use these boards religiously, I wanted to update you.

Applied for a skilled worker visa (in country) yesterday October 16th and received my confirmed visa today!

Hi,

My visa was rejected. I applied for admin review and now transferred to a skilled worker visa.

Also, just to confirm, I was offered the option for admin review in my rejection letter which I took up within the 14 day deadline.

Hi frontier mole, Appreciate your response. Re: question one, I am on admin review, have called home office helpline which have confirmed that I am currently in the UK on admin review. They’ve given me the right to rent (my new landlord had to check after my visa expired), so should I be here on adm...

Mehfuz, what course did you do?

Dear administrators, I realised my previous questions was a bit convoluted, I'd like to rephrase. 1.) I am currently on administrative review for my tier 1 in the UK. Should I find a job that sponsors me for a skilled worker visa, would I be allowed to apply within the UK and transfer to a tier 2 st...

Hi Frontier Mole,

Quick question: could you kindly confirm who this endorsing body is? I want to check if it could have been mine.

Hi CR, I just reread my post and realised it's not clear. I am looking to get a job that offers a Skilled Worker Visa -- prior to assigning a certificate of sponsorship, I believe that any job will want to check that I am not in the UK illegally. I am not sure of how to demonstrate this, I did try u...

Hi CR,

It was my understanding that I could get a Skilled Worker Visa and apply for this from within the UK, therefore withdrawing my administrative review and transferring it to a SKV?

Hi guys, I am applying for jobs in universities, and I know they conduct 'right to work' checks. I am currently on administrative review for a T1 Innovator application, and I am aware I can change to a Tier 2 while on administrative review. However, when I try to check my immigration status and get ...

No, I was not

Understood ZImba, so you think the question here is actually why is my cofounder so interested in my business? Could we not make an argument that she did not have the time nor the capacity to address another gap in the market, and that I had the time to do so/grow the business?

Paragraphs INN 22.1. and INN 22.1D. of Appendix of Innovator of the Immigration Rules state: INN 22.1. If the decision maker is satisfied all the suitability and eligibility requirements for settlement are met the applicant will be granted settlement. INN 22.1D. If the decision maker is not satisfie...

Hi team, My ILR was rejected but I would like to apply for administrative review. I believe that the Case Worker did not look at the business plan closely enough, and rejected me on grounds that the Endorsing Body never raised as being an issue. Do you know if you can re-submit evidence as part of a...

Can I enquire whether you've heard back from Home Office following the request for additional documents?

Hi guys, Fast forward, I was asked for further documents on May 4th, which I provided on the eve of May 5th. These documents were basic, a few contracts between my co-founder and I, as well as all of our bank statements. I was happy to provide these. It's now been almost 3 weeks with no emails, and ...

Hi Zimba, Thank you for this. I was under the impression that the 'genuineness' would have been validated by the Endorsing body, as opposed to having to 're-start' from the Home Office. I suppose the issue is that it is very difficult running a business not knowing whether you will be in the country...

Hi guys, Applied for ILR through Innovator (Tier 1) route, super-priority on March 8th. My lawyer has been following up with Home Office, who informed them on the 20th that my application was (finally) under consideration. On the 24th, I got the dread especially complex email. My questions are as fo...

Hi,

I got my VISA!

Thought I'd share the news, and give others the rest of my timeline:

March 2nd, 2020-- I got the application is ready email, and picked up my visa

This just goes to show you that the 'non-straightforward' email really doesn't mean anything really.

I guess, the thing that stresses me out most is that I don't have many timelines to compare mine too? I know there's one other board member on here who got it within 5 business days with a priority visa, but it took him also 6 weeks to initially be rejected (and I'm assuming they used those six week...

Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of applying for the Tier 1 Innovator visa. Obviously, not a fun process to go through-- here is my timeline: (All of this is through priority, btw) Submit application -- 21st of Feb. Biometrics/Documents uploaded -- 24th of Feb. Application not straightforw...
