shall we proceed ahead with assigning cos and ask him to apply his visa?

Yes, as UKVI has also confirmed this to you. This should not have any effect on the prospective employee visa application.

Thanks

We are well within the 15 working day deadline. Then give biometrics immediately. It looks like application has not been decided and once she enrols her biometrics, she will hopefully get ILR. Regarding, the letter received by your employer, is it from Home Office advising them your wife is not all...

Now I have secured another increment to raise my salary to 36K, which will be applicable from next month.

Make sure this time your employer report this change within 10 working days from the applicable date.

Thanks

Hi, The letter which was sent to you was for biometric enrolment which is part of every visa application. It has nothing to do with Biometric Passports. Every applicant has to enrol biometrics in order to get Biometric Resident Permit. Your wife should have enrolled her biometrics when requested as ...

Hi, You should be ok as one becomes eligible for 10 years ILR within 28 days of completing 10 years. You do not need to spend 10 years exactly. You can apply for ILR within 28 days of 5th Oct 2019. You are ok with your absences so far. Make sure within the next two and a half year your do not have a...

City Name is where the passport was issued. Thanks

Hi,

You should put in "City Name, Pakistan" for example "Karachi, Pakistan" in there. That is what all my relatives did when they applied for visit visa.

Masters degree falls in NQF 6 or above category. But the job offered to you should also be on NQF Level 6. Having masters degree does not always mean that the job employer is offering you is on NQF Level 6 as well. In order to qualify for Tier 2 visa, you will need to make sure that the SOC code yo...

also, if a job is found now, will person be able to switch to the new employer with no problem if it is within the limits defined by HO (after curtailment letter is received etc.) She will be able to switch to the new sponsor with no problem now as she has not received the curtailment letter yet. L...

This is the requirement of ILR based on Tier 2 that there should be no more than 60 days gap in between two employments in the last two years.

Apologise, I meant to write last five years. Wrote two years by mistake. CR001 has already provided you the references.

Thanks,
Hassan

many thanks for your reply. what happens if there is a gap of 60 days or more? This is the requirement of ILR based on Tier 2 that there should be no more than 60 days gap in between two employments in the last two years. when she receives a letter - will it be 60 days on top from the date of the l...

Hi, This is normal. Curtailment letters are usually received after many months. Hopefully she will get a new job before the curtailment letter is received. The only problem she will face will be in ILR in which employment gap of more than 60 days is not allowed. She is checking regularly with her cu...

Can i apply before 6 april(before the new rules apply)? Yes, you can apply before 6th April, the 3 months rule is that the job start date cannot be more than 3 months from the COS issue date. So, you can apply for extension anytime. But you will need to make sure your Salary is paid on experienced ...

Normally, dependent visa is only refused when main applicant visa is refused. I don't see any point when his visa is refused when you are granted the visa.

Even if it happens he will have 14 days to re apply within UK by correcting the errors in last application.

Thanks

Is it wise to make an extension application now with current employer just by myself without dependant using premium service and re-apply again with new employer on 17th march along with dependants to play safe? Please suggest me best option. Wise would be to apply for extension with your current e...

Also how about my dependant ? Can he continue to work ? Dependant can continue working while visa is in process. So in my case i would have to extend my visa with current employer soon and reapply again with new employer by end of march so that i can serve my notice period until i get my new visa w...

provided your previous leave has not expired

Its no in your case as your previous leave will expire on 30th March.

You can apply for baby visa later. Please, remember the baby will need a visa if you travel out of UK and then come back.

Thanks,

the employer will need a new CoS, and they are exempt from doing a resident labour market test. Yes, they are exempt I have been on this Tier 2General Migrant visa since Sept 2014. So, does that mean the default extension is for three years? Yes, the maximum you can stay in Tier 2 is till Sep 2020....

Will I need to show my bank statements? You will not be required to prove maintenance as this will be extension application. See point 167 of Policy Guidance. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/571090/Tier_2_Policy_Guidance_11_2016.pdf How soon should I apply ...

If you want to travel urgently. You can request to withdraw your FLR (FP) application and can leave the country then.

Thanks

Hi, If they assign COS with 28,000 before 6th of April and I apply for the visa after 6th of April then that would be an issue as well for salary. am I right? I am not sure on this, wait for seniors to respond. Actually, no clear instructions have been issued by UKVI on this. All I know that they sa...

they will conduct interviews as well but not mine. If they find another suitable settled candidate during this interview, then they should offer the job to that candidate. Also, I believe they should be interviewing you again with other candidates on order to have a fair RLMT. Pre-selection is not ...

Hi CR001,

Understood and thanks for clarification.

Thanks,

Please, be advised that if during RLMT they find another suitable settled candidate, then they will need to offer the job to that person.

It seems like you are pre selected for the job which can lead to refusal of visa.

Thanks,
Hassan
