Hi all, My employer applied for a 5 year COS but we will apply for a 3 year Tier 2 visa. In this case, I think they have to change the date to 3 years on COS as well. I read on this forum that someone's visa got rejected as the visa request was not the same length (of time) as the COS. Is it easy t...

Hello! My tier 4 visa expires on 28/01/2017 and I have found a sponsor for my Tier 2 visa. I will start working for them on 20/01/2017. We made a short term 1 week contract stating that I will become permanent once I get my visa. My sponsor has put 29/01/2017 as the start date on my COS, but I am s...

Hi All, I have a question regarding CoS issue. While issuing a Tier 2 (G) CoS to a existing employee who is under tier 4 student visa and recently degree. He meets SOC requirements with his current job title and duty. Now, as far i know he is exempted from RLMT. But, when trying to issue CoS to him...

Is it because of the 28 day rule mentioned On this website ? https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-rights/immigration/problems-applications-documents/visa-delays/ Yes but, how can I apply for a visa with my new company an...

Hi all, I'm planning to switch from tier 4 to tier 2 general. My sponsor company is hesitating to agree on a start date until they know that they can have a COS allocation before the expiry date of my visa in the middle of January. That's why in the contract we did not put a start date however isn'...

My notice period is actually 4 weeks as I have been working for them for almost a year now. So if I apply to switch my visa middle of next week, without the priority service, can I still work with my current employer until the end of my notice period (5th of January) because I am guessing that they...

Thank you, in this case, I will apply for a Tier 2 visa first week of January. In this case, would it be okay? I guess the important part is the start date on the Tier 2 visa in this case. Also, my current employer has to cancel the COS they assigned to me, and for that she email the business help ...

Thanks. I have and they are happy to change start date. If they do will I be able to serve notice with previous employer while on New visa or I have to stop immediately. The start date on your COS is different from the valid from date on your visa. Your current visa is usually valid from the day it...

He can switch his visa to tier 2 no problem from immigration side of things. Finishing his master will however be an issue because once he switches to Tier 2, he can no longer study as a full time student. If he's at the middle of his masters and still interested in getting his MSc. He might be able...

Can I go on my holiday on New visa before I start work with new employer? Thank you Your previous visa is no l...

Hi All, My company announced an internal vacancy that any technical company employee can apply for. They will have an interview with the department manager and he will decide who is successful. The vacancy is internal only. This is pretty much the same job I currently do, the same department, the s...

Hi Hassan, Thanks for the reply..!! New employer did proper RLMT. They have there own solicitors team to look into immigration matters, so hopefully all good. But anyway as suggested by you, even though it costs me a little, I will take proper route. Thanks and regards..!! You are not sure a RLMT i...

Also, if you've applied online ahead of the appointment - isn't that your application date? Application form and COS both have 3 months validity. Since I have recently filled application form online so my application form validity is fine but my sponsor had issued COS around 2.5 months back and tha...

Every sponsor has a contact person who handles the company's sponsorship duties. If the company is registered and they don't know, then it's likely that the person handling the account has left the company without handing over. They could lose their licence for that. ONLY AN AUTHORISED PERSON CAN RE...

I know the fee will remain the same. I want to know whether I will be allowed to do the part time PhD on tier 2 or not You will be allowed to study as long as the study time does not affect your responsibility to your tier 2 sponsor ( employer). If your contract says x hrs per week as long as you f...

Hello, I was on a Tier 2 General from the August 2011 to September 2013. A change of employer application made in September 2013 (before the expiry of my Tier 2 visa), was refused and I left the country following legal advice. This also terminated my contract with my second employer. An out of coun...

Joking aside, I really don't see why you should declare that.

Thanks

Good day All. Sorry I had to start this as a new thread to get a quick response. Do I have to treat parking ticket issued by a private parking company same as those issued by police or Local Council. Does one need to declare parking ticket issued by private parking company? the ticket fee was paid o...

hello everyone,
one final question on this, how about parking tickets issued by private parking companies, should they be declared as well?

Thank you Djsuccess and hi again everyone, Now as another question and maybe a little bit more complex. Situation is detailed below: Sponsor note is added to CoS stating new dates as below: Work start date: 18 January 2017 (following the end date of the first CoS used in first Tier 2 application) W...

My wife does have the dependent visa for the same duration (valid until Oct-2019) issued in Oct-2014 This year we gave birth to our child in UK. As we plan to travel India in Jan 2017, I will be applying for hi...

Hello everyone, Just another question. For those who did the Tier 2 extension, did your sponsors answer Yes to the question "Have you met the resident labour market test?" on your CoS? I understand that if it's an extension, the RLMT is not required. Paragraph 218 of the Tier 2 Policy guidance (Ver...
