@srsw, Good Morning & Many Thanks for your answer. Below lines are also printed in the letter. Is this ok? xxxxx is providing this reference without prejudice and without any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the xxxxx or its officials. If you’ve got any queries regarding this information,...

Letter content looks fine, however, the start date of employment 10 years back could be confusing as max stay on Tier 2 was 6 years.

If possible see if they can just mention UK start date as per tier 2. But if they don't, you could add a cover letter explaining the start date in the employer letter.

You need to concentrate more on her ties with India, i.e. husband/marriage certificate, any other kids details (their passport copies, etc) and how often she visits or other kids visit her, any property/land on her/husband name, investments, rental income, mutual funds investment, etc. This is all t...

Thanks for the help guys I am attaching passport stamps, payslips, HMRC reports, and my flight tickets/ boarding passes. Fingers crossed! Do let me know if you think i should add anything else : ) -Wayne Looks fine to prove your UK absences, but payslips/HRMC reports probably not required but no ha...

You still need to list all those leaves when you were out of the UK when working with your previous employer and attach a cover letter explaining the same + the email from HR saying they no longer hold that info after the merger. As long as the leaves are within the limits you should be ok. Are let...

Flights will resume between UK and India in the next few days so highly unlikely to get an extension if they already got a 6 month visitor visa earlier.

It's probably going to have a negative impact on extension application (most likely rejected) and future applications as well.

I am in UK on tier 2 visa for 1.5 years; since July 2019.and my current BRP expires on 9 July 2021. Now I have got CoS for 5 years (Feb 2021 to Feb 2026) and have applied for Skilled worker visa chosing >3 years visa option in application. My Question is; 1. What would be the total duration of visa...

Yes, but do add a covering letter and explain the same.

Is the email gone from bin folder as well? Generally deleted emails stay there for a month or so and you should be able to restore it.

RESPONSES IN CAPS - Does my employer need to conduct Labor market test again? NO - Since tier 2 visa is now called as skilled worker visa, is there any changes in the visa extension procedure? NO, BUT SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ADDED TO THE ONLINE FORM. - Do I need to provide the proof of address for...

As long as you have valid tier 2 visa you should be able to enter UK without any issue.

I suggest you keep your ILR application draft ready and all evidence/proofs ready so you can submit in time.

I don't think that's allowed. Tier 2 is employer sponsored route and self employment comes under T1 route (now Innovator or Start-up route).

Let's see what others say here.

Hi I am new here. A quick question. I am looking to book appointment for my family (4) in UKVACS site., but I don't see any free slots in the next 4 weeks. Are they even releasing any Free slots or are they releasing only paid slots now?. If they do release some free slots, is there any pattern on ...

Possible steps: 1. You apply for your ILR when you reach eligibility date. 2. Apply for PBS dependent extension for your wife (as adviced previously). 3. Assuming your wife PBS dependent application is not decided but she reaches ILR eligibility date, then submit new ILR application for her (this is...

You could apply for extension just before a day or two BRP expiry date and book biometrics as late as possible (45 days / 2 months I believe.. double check once).

If she doesn't receive approval by her ILR eligibility date then you can vary application to ILR.

No, your wife can't combine tier 4 & tier 2 dependent visas, however, she can still apply for her ILR just a day or two before her current visa expires. But ensure you book her biometrics appointment only after she becomes eligible for ILR, i.e. when she meets 5 years minus 28 days requirement. Tha...

Just to add.. cohabitation proofs needed for last two years only.

1. Yes, you can add utility bills and any other address proofs such as tenancy agreement, electoral roll letters, DVLA letters, etc. But this is mainly for dependents to prove cohabitation requirements. So better to add add cohabitation proofs under dependent section. 2. Consent letter, authorisatio...

Generally it's the application date, but because she is just short of few days the caseworker will consider the eligibility at the time of biometrics. She will still make in-time application, i.e before her visa expires and give biometrics after she is eligible for ILR. Lots of people on this forum ...

Looks like she switched from Tier 1 dependent to partner visa, which means she may have reset her ILR clock.

Do list her visa start/end dates for last 5+ years and visa categories and forum members can confirm the next steps.

What's your current status.. do you have ILR already or on Tier 2 visa?

Is she currently on tier 1 dependent visa? If yes, then set (o) for ILR application.
