Guys This might be a grey area if it fits this forum but I think it does. I've lost my Tier 2 Sponsored BRP in Mumbai on vacation. For those who don't know, the process is that you apply for a single entry "replacement BRP visa" with which you enter UK then get a replacement. However I've missed my ...
Guys Brilliant treasure of information in this thread - however I keep noticing that one thing is missing.. THE TIMELINE TO GET THE SINGLE-ENTRY VISA FoR OUT-OF-UK SITUATIONS. I am in Mumbai, due too fly back in 4 days and I've lost my visa. I applied online for a replacement BRP visa 4 days back nd...
Hello All I’m in that position where I have an appointment on Tuesday for a Single Use Visa due to ao BRP lost in Mumbai, from where I am due to fly back to London on Friday. I have no idea wha t documents, questions and preparation they will ask of me. It goes without saying that I have no room for...

I have a photocopy but obviously I need a one-time visa. I have read the procedure, and as per that I have reported the loss to the UK BA who have immediately canceled that work permit. Which means that now even if I find it its useless. I have then booked an appointment at VFS for a one time visa, ...
Hi As of yesterday I lost my visa. Some bad luck as I always keep it at home but I needed a photocopy and I carried it in my wallet which I lost. I have informed the UK BA on their email address designated for the purpose and I have applied for a one-time lost brp visa, and my appointment is in Mumb...
Visa approved! Under priority it took 9 working days It took a lot more effort and money than required but it's done now and someday I'll look back and laugh at it. If someone reading this is doing their first Tier 2 application - PLEASE co-ordinate with your HR while doing this. Even if you have on...
Thanks Manci Updates: Figured that you cannot do a priority postal application by yourself, and you need an authorized representative! I was thinking of getting one anyway as I didn't want to risk another mistake so hired one. UK BA said that they have sent a postal response to my reconsideration re...
Thanks manci, I have read and understood that llink - I was wondering if there is something from personal experiences that may be worth knowing. My biggest question now is - Can I apply for priority without a current leave to remain? Will they tell me at the biometrics (when I have to submit documen...
I agree. Thanks for your comment Anyway, it looks like I will be doing a priority application. Obviously I need to make sure every small detail is correct as a mistake now will mean the end really. Anything I need to know about the priority process? I have never done this before so any advice would ...
Nothing yet... I will take a decision on Wednesday.
Also, what grounds do I need to claim why I have a rejected visa? When they ask me if I've overstayed (on the form) do I say yes even though I am within my appeal deadline?
I have now verified that indeed the employer did not put a tick in the maintenance box. I have verified that we have CoS available I have sent a letter to the UK BA requesting a reconsideration no the grounds that the employer intended to tick and was an admin oversight. Also stated that the date th...
Hey, just found something uncharacteristically specific on the UKBA's site where they state an example of exactly my case while outlining what judges can and cannot take as new evidence.. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/guidance/ecg/apl/apl7/ Please look at the last paragraph - does t...
Thanks Manci Do you think its a good plan that I have outlined? There is something else. Initially the UK BA said they've sent something on the 12th of September.. nothing came. They even gave me a tracking number. Now in the letter they say that I made an application on 12th September (coincidence?...
Thanks guys. My current plan is - 1. Write to the case worker (email and by post) with a company letter stating that it was an error and that we'd like it to be reconsidered. 2. If we get no reply by Friday (5 days) then we apply by priority post. Any opinions on this? This is all presuminng they ha...
My sponsor did the same thing, ONLY THING IS I DID NOT KNOW and I just waited for the visa - which got refused. Now my previous visa has expired and its a massive nightmare. Go to your HR immediately, ask them to add a note on your CoS, ask them to give you a letter certifying the maintenance and as...
Hello and thanks for replying Manci I have already read and understood the laws today and everything you said covers that and tallies, so that is good. Thanks for letting me know about the case where a similar situation was succesfully appealed. My dilemma is not that I dont know the laws pertaining...
Updates: (Please advise soon as what I do in the next few days wil laffect my entire life!) 1. The HR lady with access to the Sponsor system was not in today and will be on Monday. No one else had access so confirmation of what they did and did not tick will be on Monday 2. I called up the UKBA help...
1 I will check tomorrow and confirm back 2 I only received the letter 30 min back. It says I have ten days to appeal 3 What are the advantages of this new application? I am not sure how many CoS the company has 4 I understand that, I fully intend to appeal Thank you for the quick reply Manci! How do...
Hi This website has helped me immensely in compiling my application and I hope you guys will do the same now that I need it the most! This is aggravating to say the least!! Two months after my Tier 2 application, I received a letter saying that I have not received the maintenance points. I had ticke...
Type of application: (Switching) 2. If switching, category changing (switching) from Tier 1 PSW to Tier 2 General 3. Date of expiry of current leave: 30/08/2013 4. Number of dependants applying at same time: 0 5. Date application posted: 28/08/13 6. Date application received at UKBA: 29/08/2013 7. D...
Thank you. Its incredible how helpful this place is. I read through the whole document and don't foresee any problems. I have two queries though - 1. When they ask me how I claim English language points, they list Tier 1 Visa as an option. Does having a Tier PSW mean that qualifies me for English la...
