Tier 2 Extension - Biometric letter not received

The problem is: I have not received the biometric letter yet and I saw the timeline of some people that...

Re: URGENT HELP WITH EXTENSION - Tier 2

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...

URGENT HELP WITH EXTENSION - Tier 2

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...

She confirmed what I said: yes, I can apply earlier than expected with a CoS start date for the future...but all she did was "yes, it's possible 5 times", so I hope she understood it right. To be fair, my...

Re: Tier 2 Extension query

Hi dragon098, Thanks for your answer. I am not applying using the Premium service, but I imagine that your employer will be asking for the CoS before the planned start date/application date. (I have no idea how much time it takes to get the CoS). So, that solves almost 100% of my doubt (it means the...

Re: Switching from Standard to priority service

Hello all, I've tried to find some explanation about the "Priority" service (as the thread's name states) - however, most of the links and replies of this thread seem to be related to the "Premium" service. So, my question is related to the priority one: within 10 days if you’re able to use the Tier...
