Hi Udesh, Replied in detail in your other thread. I did not have problem in entering on 50th day from the date mentioned on my vignette. The 28 day rule starts from the date when you enter UK. This UK entry date should be within the 90 day period mentioned on Vignette. This is based on my experience...
Hi Udesh, There was absolutely no problem. The 28 day rule meant exactly what my lawyer friend suggested. Please read the thread above for that interpretation. For the short story, the Visa becomes valid "only" after the immigration officer accepts you at the port of entry and not from the date ment...
CR001, I'm deeply sorry about the posts on most threads that have to do with Ecctis. It's just that I'm in a tight corner and it's more of an emergency. The estimated completion time for my Ecctis is 12:45am of 11/8/22 while 10 working days given by UK Home Office will elapse today 10/8/22. I just ...
Sorry for the late reply. Though the information was present in my submission to my timelines, I'm including it here also. It took me 10 days to get the decision after I submitted ECCTIS letter. My BRP was valid from 3 days before I received it. Hope it may be useful to some one in future. Thanks, SG
I'm having the exact same situation and I'm trying to decide when to enter the UK. What response did you get from the University, and when do you plan to enter the UK? Thanks in advance! Read previous responses given on the thread For the better sense to prevail, I asked my University and they said...
Hi. Could you tell me how long it took to get the defined CoS? I am waiting already two months after my employer applied and I want to ask if anyone else had the same issue. Thank you in advance! Hi Eirinizt, I applied after about a month due to some other commitment at my end but when I applied, t...
Thanks, I have already asked the University on Friday. They will probably respond in a day or two. If this rule means what you suggested then I will need to travel quickly and arrange lot of things. That's why I was asking here. The person who suggested that I can enter anytime during 3 months perio...
Thanks I asked someone else about these 3 conditions as per the rules- S3.9. You must normally stop sponsoring the worker and inform us via your SMS account if the start date is delayed by more than 28 days after whichever is the latest of: • the start date recorded on the worker’s CoS (including an...
Thanks ywlgy. Is this 28 days period after Visa start date applicable even if the employer is a University and I'm joining as a faculty member? Request someone to share your expertise urgently (if you can) as I need to make some arrangements quickly, if it is applicable for educational institutions....
Your employer will risk having their license revoked if not complying to rules. If they got caught, your visa will be at risk as well. The 28 days rule can be found at page 21 of https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1070112/Sponsor-guidance...
Thank ywlgy again for sharing your expertise. Your employer will risk having their license revoked if not complying to rules. If they got caught, your visa will be at risk as well.

Thanks ywlgy. Vignette start date or CoS work start date, whichever is later. Your employer shall stop sponsoring you if don't start working by then. If my supervisor has no problems in my joining late, will it still be necessary to join within 28 days of Vignette start date? The Vignette end date i...
Thanks ywlgy for giving some clarity. I have follow up questions to the response. 3. My Vignette shows duration of 3 months so it means I can enter UK any time before the expiry date mentioned on my Vignette. Is this understanding right? Yes. But also you should normally start working within 28 days...
Hi drijess13, My visa was employer sponsored skilled worker. I have posted my timelines in the timelines topic (Outside UK). The visas for my dependents are also pending but it has been only 2 weeks for those visas so I'm still waiting patiently. Yes, I also tried for sending paid email query last w...
Dear All, I received my Employer sponsored SW visa two days back in India. I understand that my dependents' visa can be processed only after mine gets approved. My dependents (Spouse and Child) appeared for Biometric on 21st April 22 in India. 1. How much time does it take for Visa approval of my de...
Hi, This may seem far fetched but it happened with me so it is not impossible. After three weeks of submitting documents, I searched in my email inbox with "UK Visa". I found a query raised 10 days back. And then I hurriedly submitted the requested documents keeping home office informed. I received ...
1. Category applying under : Employer Sponsored Skilled Worker, 3 Years, Standard 2. Country of application : India 3. City of Visa Application Centre : New Delhi (through VFS) 4. Date of application: 16 March 2022 5. Date of submission of documents : 23 March 2022 6. Received a SMS & email that app...
Thanks to everyone for timely replies. I replied to Home office and explained my situation two weeks back. During last week, I collected all documents from all universities and used fast track service. Yesterday, I got the ECCTIS letter (and ENIC statement of comparability) and submitted both of the...
Thanks CR001 for your understanding and expertise. You are right about the Visa type. I was creating new topic for new questions. I did not create multiple topics for same question, which is prohibited. Do you mean to say that I should ask new questions in the same topic? If so, I'll do so. Regards,...
Dear members, 1. Will my spouse also need ECCTIS certificate in her application as my dependent? 2. Even if it is not required now, does it make sense to get ECCTIS certificate for my wife's degree "now" so that it may help later if she wants to work in UK or if she switches to skilled worker Visa l...
Dear All, My Visa (employer sponsored SW visa) is not yet approved. Due to this, we cancelled our earlier temporary accommodation booking (done through Airbnb) and we plan to do it after my Visa is approved. This query is for consent form for my child Visa. Need your suggestions urgently. Please sug...
In addition to above, my employer is saying that they have never seen such queries asking for English certificate or ECCTIS certificate. My employer is a University and I'm not claiming points for PhD qualification for this employer sponsored SW visa. During the application process, it was nowhere m...
Thanks CR001. I don't know but I realize that I have missed it. Since they asked on 4th April and gave 10 working days, what should I do now? Just now, I also received an email that my application has not been straightforward and they will be unable to decide my application within their customer ser...
Thanks for your quick answer which helped in a way but I also need an expert's perspective on this query.
Is ECCTIS applicable to my Visa Type - Employer sponsored Skilled Worker in which I am not claiming any points for my qualification? I don't need ATAS as per my COS.
