Thanks Manci. For ILR purposes, I'm sure the time as ICT doesn't count as it's post April 6 2011. However, my only worry is that when I extend my T2G, they might limit it to 6 years from the first entry clearance, not the second. This way, I will have very limited time between the minimum of 5 years...
Hi Manci Sorry if I wasn't clear. The first visa was for 3 years, I left after 1 year, got it cancelled and replaced overseas. I didn't mean both were running at the same time. I re-joined the same company under a different position and a new visa before the cooling off rule was established. Does th...
Hello manci,
it was right before the introduction of the rule about the cooling off period. So actually the first entry clearance was still running when the second one superseded it.
What does that imply?
If someone got a tier 2 ICT entry clearance in 2011 but after April, then left in early 2012 and reapplied for an entry clearance as Tier 2 general, the question is:
Would he be able to extend the visa until 2017 or 2018?
What would the BRP date be? the date it was issued or the start date of the job? If it's the former, how can I confirm that the "new" start date in the "sponsor note" has been taken into consideration?
Hello, I need quick feedback please. (1) If a T2 CoS has been issued but the migrant has not yet applied, would it be possible to change the start date of the job without re-issuing it? If the answer is yes, where would be the change done? on the date itself or in the sponsor note? (2) If the applic...
Any feedback please? manci? I'd like to also add an additional question to the list: 11- If the sponsor does not have an allocation for a CoS, is it a problem or can he request one? I've read conflicting topics. Some state that allocation is requested for a whole year by April 5th. Some other state ...
Hello, I'm trying to understand the process of changing employers under Tier 2 General, and I have a few questions: 1- I recall presenting my original degree when I applied for entry clearance back home. I do not remember why though. Could it have been for anything other than the English language re...
@sushdmehta: not a problem :) glad I finally made sense! :) Best of luck lady / bro (sorry I never asked you about your gender before) Unfortunately for me, ILR is a loong loong way away (you can tell by another thread I've started that what i spent here previously won't count). Also, I'm at risk of...
@sushdmehta: you are not capitalizing on the word "any" in what you quoted.
If you take it into consideration, the statements seem to describe a 180 days rule "per" year, for the 5 consecutive years preceding the application.
I might be wrong.
@sushdmehta: but the ministerial statement is much clearer in my opinion. Don't you agree?
And the way I'm understanding both statements you quoted is:
If someone is applying in June 2017, then every June to June from 2012 to 2017 must have at most 180 days away.
@sushdmehta: here's an excerpt from the ministerial statement: "These changes clarify that absences of up to 180 days in a 12 month period are permitted, provided the absence is for a reason that is consistent with the migrant?s purpose of stay in the UK or for serious or compelling reasons." Is it ...
Greenie, I posted a similar topic a few days back (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=112919). I believe that some of the documentation may not be needed again, but I'm not quite sure. Can you confirm that? Otherwise, I understand that everything else like sponsorship, RLMT, etc. are n...
Hello, I'd appreciate some input regarding the following: Assuming someone got his entry clearance post-april 6 "2012" as a Tier 2 general migrant, and that fellow is contemplating changing employers (in-country): Would he need to resubmit all the documentations again? Or are there some documents th...
