Hi HarRat

My friends is in the same situation. He is applying for his wife and the IHS fees is coming up as $1820. Could you shed some light on how you solved this problem ASAP?

I would really appreciate your help.

Kind regards

Hi All, I've booked my appointment for 25th of April for my ILR. My 5 years is complete on 17th of may. Which means the date of my appointment is within -28 days from the 5 year anniversary. My query is. When I booked my appointment the UKVI system generated a pdf for payment and all the other perso...

Update on the status, I have managed to get my salary increased to£35,000. I did my performance review and my manager agreed to increase my salary, however he knew what my requirements were and only increased it to £35,000. However Im now worried if It should be a little bit more, as it looks like t...

Hi dan883,

Tier 2 visa holders don't have access to public fund, neither do I.

Hi All, Could someone knowledgeable on the Stamp duty tax relief that was announced in the budget todayprovide some light on this? Is this counted as a public fund/benefit since you would have to claim it back from the govt from what I understand. I've recently bought a new build house and completio...

well its not £100 but £400, I think you misread it. Even then its still a small amount. The problem isn't that its just £400. but that if they increase my salary and other colleagues find out, then they will have to do it for them too. Thats where the problem is. The company in UK has over 2000 empl...

Thanks CR001 I do want the salary increase however its looking unlikely. CEO is new, and new CEOs rarely take a look at exemptions. However I'm still hoping it would happen since its not too much of an increase. In case it doesn't, I would have no choice but to go though the other route. I'm just pr...

Yea my PSW was supposed to expire in feb 2014. I applied in April 2013 for my Tier 2.

Hi CR001

I think getting an SAR is the best solution. I'll get that done ASAP.

PSW brp says valid until 02-02-2014

I do remember posting it in nov 2011 but it got delayed because of an error from UKVI.

Hi CR001, The reason was because my immigration lawyer had asked me to tell him exact date I applied for my Tier 2 application (to make sure it was before 6th of April). If you look at my other topic (Tier 2 to ILR salary query), I may have to apply for ILR using the Shortage occupation route in the...

Hi Everyone, Just to let everyone know. I have inquired from an immigration lawyer regarding the above questions I posted. He has said that according to the current rules I'm eligible to apply using the shortage occupation route salary exemption. He did suggest to me that I should ask for £35,000 sa...

HI All, I do have all my documents and old BRP copies. The approval letters and everything. The date on the approval letter is 15th of may. However that is not what I'm after. I was trying to Determine the date of application in my case. Going through the archives from 2013, I've found that the date...

Hi CR001,

I understand that.

So what is the date of approval?

How can I confirm that?

HI All, Q: When I applied for Tier 2 Visa for the first time back in 2013, I got my BRP which had "Valid until 15th April 2016". I'm trying to confirm when I sent my visa application by post. I'm assuming BRP has 3years +14 days from the date of application. Does this mean I sent my application by p...

Hi iworker, I understand your point. Thats why I posted here to get some clarification. I dont want to end up going to a Lawyer for any advice with this. Hopefully some one experienced on this forum(admin) or someone who has taken this routed would be able to give an answer. Anyone out there who can...

i believe PEO appointments are only available for next 42 days.

Hi Iworker,

Thanks for your reply.

Do you think what I said in q1 is valid?

Since I was in shortage occupation list I dont really need to attain £35k?

Hi All, I'll keep it simple. q1: My First Tier 2 application was made in 1stApril 2013 when my job was in Shortage occupation list. I applied under shortage occupation (it says in the COS as well). The job was then taken off from the shortage occupation list shortly thereafter (taken off on 6th Apri...

Hi CR001,

He can split the holidays up no problem. His Tier 2 is valid until October 2018.

This is exactly why this website is so good.

Really appreciate your advice on this !

Regards

Hi All, I would really appreciate your urgent help in this case. One of my friends had his 10 year Long residence ILR application refused at Cardiff PEO appointment. The reason stated is as below. "In section D3 of the application form you were required to submit a full list of absences from the Uni...

Hi Frontier mole. Its been more then 4 months when my company got downgraded to B rating. Hr has told me that they have made all the improvements and waiting for next steps. Does it normally take that long? Should HR inform UKVI that they have done their improvement plan (I'm pretty sure that they w...

Thank you Frontier mole, I work for a big aerospace company, Is this a common practice to downgrade to B rating. I'm asking because the actions they have asked my company to do are just 2 (contact info not updated since 2015 in hr.net and process for informing ukvi in case an immigrant leaves the co...

Dear Frontier mole or anyone else who knows the answer to this question.


If an employer is downgraded to Rating B, then in that case are the sponsored migrants allowed to travel to other countries for tourism purposes? Will there be any issue in coming back to UK even if the visa is downgraded?

Did you get the removal letter from the same department at the same time. I think the removal department sits in a different office (Manchester). They may not be aware of the new application that you have made since their department is different. Once your visa was rejected they (Manchester) would h...

If you are switching employer or your job role is changing, then you need to apply as a new applicant. The new employer will have to do an RLMT properly. You cannot use tier 2 Extension application. Go to UKVI website and apply online. dont use the extend application link button. Moderators may be a...
