Thanks for the quick response tier11417. I had the idea that the appointment for the 24 hrs service was more or less of an interview (to check documents, scan what is necessary/check what you scanned, ask questions like immigration officers do every time we arrive in the UK). Do you think if I uploa...
Let me start by thanking everyone for the great help this forum provides. :) I have just submitted my application and about to book my appointment (Set (o) Tier 2 G to IRL). What is the main difference between the 6 Core Centers and the Service Points (libraries) for Super Premium Priority Service? ...
Hi sikishah, Sorry to bring this post from the dead, but I am in the same situation: about to apply for IRL and national insurance records missing (but pension is showing in the website). Called HRMC and they said to send a letter, but to expect a delay in answer (up to October). :? Did your company...
I found this in the guidance: 22 When you assign a CoS to extend a migrant’s leave in the same tier and category, the start date on the CoS should be the day after their current leave expires but the migrant cannot apply for leave more than 3 months before that date. The current work situation: * CO...
Hello all, This is supposed to be a quick question for experts. Did we have any major changes between 2016 and now to extend a Tier 2 General visa? I am helping my HR for someone else's extension and lately I have not been very active in the Tier 2 visa forum because I am about to get my IRL (so all...
Hey all, Thanks in advance for any help. My company gave me a substantial salary increase beginning of this year when I assumed a more senior position within my team but has never informed the change via SMS. My history: Job title: Software Engineer Job type: 2129 Engineering professionals not elsew...
Hello, I have been brought to the UK by my company a few years ago under Tier 2 General. Now, it's time to proceed with the IRL and they are forcing me to sign a documment saying I can't leave before 3 years. Is this legal? Don't get me wrong...I am not ungrateful, but that binds me to the company a...
Hello Maruchita56, Fellow south American passport holder here. I am Brazilian and every time I used Ryanair they asked for this check. It's literally just a stamp in your ticket from someone that has seen your visa/BRP. Basically they do a pre-check immigration status on you before allowing you into...
Hey O_Relly, I would say moneysupermarket, although people there wont know about immigration stuff. I am a visa Tier 2 holder (non ILR) and I got a 90% mortgage with Halifax. We tried with Barclays too but the house got refused...apart from these 2 banks I believe all others request ILR. Be aware th...
For everyone with priority, contact them again telling you sent your documments and you never received the biometri letter. I received just one day before my end date and it was a nightmare. I had to leave work and wait hours to do the biometric enrollment (probably a busy day...I don't have much lu...
1. Type of application: (Switching / Extending) Tier 2 General extension (3 years) Sent via post as standard, but the next day upgraded to Priority . 3. Date of expiry of current leave: 28/02/2017 4. Number of dependants applying at same time: 1 5. Date application posted: 13/10/2016 6. Date applica...
Hello, Yes, you need to send the passport with the current VISA even if it's expired. I also sent extra docs such as : * Marriage certificate and translation if you apply with dependent (just in case); * Last 3 playslips and a letter from the company confirming the authenticity of my payslips and co...
Hello taddypole31, I sent my request to priority 2 weeks ago and it's supposed to end today the 10 day service. 1) Sent an e-mail 8:32 am and around 4 pm (same day) got the instructions to pay and change to priority. It was a Friday, so could be less busy than other days. 2) They charged me but forg...
It's exactly as cherrypie said...calling them doesn't is useless.
Some people posted their timeline and said it took exactly 40 working days, so it looks like they are counting and leaving the decision to the last day.
Hi thisthing2, Just some news: they don't know where our documents are. In my case, I changed from standard to priority service, and my stuff could be "lost" in the standard pile...however, nobody has confirmed if they found my documents or not! So they just charged me but never bothered to check my...
I tried calling UKVI and one dude was very dude and said he could do nothing. Then tried the next day and another person said it's normal and I should contact AppointmentExceptions@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. You can try the e-mail, see if you have more luck than I did (I sent the e-mail last Thursday ,s...
Dear all, I've submitted my Tier 2 extension last Thursday 13/10/16 and changed to priority straight away in the next day (14/10). So, the priority request service said my deadline would be 27/10! The problem is: I have not received the biometric letter yet and I saw the timeline of some people that...
Another question: For the extension, I found this: 38.25 When you assign a CoS to extend a migrant’s leave in the same tier and category, the start date on the CoS should be the day after their current leave expires. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/515819/Ti...
you need a unrestricted cos. what you are looking at sms, is your company current allocations. This means they can issue 3 people cos till 4 april 2017 when this allocation will expire. now all u need to do is, ask them to issue u a cos, make sure ur salary is at experienced level, fill in the form...
Hello all, So, I am due to renew my Tier 2 Visa and we (HR and me) ended up in a dangerous corner. The original visa is: Tier 2 (General - New hires - restricted), so I believe the extension should be again restricted right? This is what we are not 100% sure. The person responsible for the VISA said...
