Dear all, I am currently on tier 2 visa, I'm planning to go for tier 1 visa. Could anybody tell me, will tier 2 visa become automatically void after I obtain tier 1 visa? I need to keep tier 2 simply because, i wouldn't be able to work on my present job on visa stamped for 'restricted work for docto...

Hello, Any info is appreciated. I am on tier 2 visa and would need to get new tier 2 visa for a new employer over next 2 weeks. I tried hard to get premium appointment without success. I gathered that, the agencies/lawyers have some slots for their clients and I would appreciate if anyone give me an...

Hi,
You can work upto 20 hours per week, as per the guidance. Read thru them.

Hi,
Does anyone know, who sponsors for training post for a doctor in training, is it the deanery or the employing trust?
Thanks

I was under the same impression., until I read the tier 1 guidance, which says on page 47, 'if you are already in training post/rotation, the condition on restriction for training doctor will not be applicable'. I am looking for someone, who was able to get tier 1 based on that paragraph or someone ...

Hi, I would greatly appreciate if somebody could clarify regarding this point. I'm currently tier 2 visa, and one of the employer has agreed to provide a sponsorship certificate for tier 2 job for a doctor in training position for 6 months. I will be eligible for tier 1, 3 months into that post. Acc...

Thanx Mel for that info,
I was stupid enough to trust UKBA website,waiting time of 75% in 4 weeks.Doesn't seem to be so in majority.
I have to keep my fingers crossed now, that I have to join the job in 4weeks.

Hi,
Your application will be considered as a fresh application, so you need to take care just as the last time around.

Hi,
My primary application for tier 2 was rejected on the grounds of bank statements(a different reason than yours). Admin review was won, but took apporx 8 weeks in Nov 2009, in chennai India.

They can do it online in less than an hour if paying card, by but paying by cheque or anyother mode takes upto 2 weeks.

Hi,
Was it in India, if you are not in a hurry, put up for an admin review, most likely you will succeed. Takes more time, than they mention.
All the best.

could someone please tell me, how long is the processing times for current tier2 general in UK? Has anyone got it done recently for a change of job?
Thanks

Hi, I'm sorry, if this has been discussed before. But I would be grateful for a reply. I entered this country in Nov 2009 on tier 2. I would like to apply for tier 1visa in June. My salary points would be gained by then,(after 9months of stay) and experience points as well, by UKBA definition. Is it...

Hi, I recently applied for tier 2 visa, from India, while my tier 2 visa admn review was in progress. A few days later, I was given a telephone call from British High commission, that my admn review is successful and hence I need to withdraw my new appln. (with refunds). Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks, I withdraw the question.

Hi, Is there any similar guidance, for administrative review. Can we apply for a new visa while admin review is under consideration?

Hi, I'm not expert. But my undertanding is 1. You are legal in the country, as long as you have a pending application/appeal with Home Office. 2.You would need a new COS everytime you apply for visa. 3.You cannot have more than one application/live COS at Home office.(i.e., if u r applying for new j...

Many thanks!

Hi,Thanks for the reply. I used new cos this time and just making sure to provide as correct documents as possible.

No, my question is how do I show the documentary evidence of prospective earnings and evidence for sponsorship certificate. Do I need an original letter on letterhead by the employer?

Dear members, I would appreciate, if any senior members could help me regarding this. My previous tier 2 application was rejected on the basis of absence of logo on bank statements. Hence I am quite anxious to submit right documents this time. My question is what are the documents I need to submit t...

HI,Yes, Even if the job is on shortage occupation list, you will require certificate of sponsorship. Your employer needs to mention it on application for cos to the Home Office. Resident labour market test is excluded for such posts. All the best

Hello Vanadil, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question fully. My employer is applying for COS. My payscale is above required 24k as per job advt. After a telephonic interview, they mailed me telling that, they are happy to give me the job and asked me to send requisite documents. So, i am making...
