Many thanks for your reply and apologies if I was a bit vague. What I meant is if someone meets the basic requirements stated on their website is the chances of success very high or are the UKVI usually picky about small details and tend to refuse a lot of applicants? Your reply answers my question...

I think it depends if your leave is "continuous" or not. i.e. if there was a gap between your bachelors and mba. No it has changed now, only PhD needs to be continuous; read the current guidance I'm in a similar situation, I've done a bachelors and masters in the UK but left the UK so now I need to...

Hello everyone, I'm currently doing a PhD in the UK and will finish my first 12 months in September 2019. I have been offer a graduate job at a big 4 company and signed a contract with an early september start date and intend to switch to tier 2 then. I was wondering how difficult it is in general ...

Hi, My neice is a doctor and this week got a job from NHS as doctor. They offered the position only for 4 months. Though, its very likely that it will be increased at latter stage. But right noe, the job is only for 4 months. My qyestion is: (1) when she gets her vusa, will it be for 4 months only ...

Hey, I have just renewed my passport so need to update HO about this change of personal details. I have got a question about the Migrant Change of Circumstances Form: In the Form it does not ask what your current BPR number, or what you current passport number is. How does the Home Office know who t...

Yes you can

Are you working for the same NHS trust for both roles? Then although a strange circumstance there is nothing in the guidance that prevents this. It is the combination of the salaries from the same Sponsor that counts towards the stated COS salary. Hey, Yes same NHS trust and same Department. One ba...

As long as the SOC code and duties remain the same this is not an issue. It is treated as if it were a promotion within the same role. Your circumstances are a little strange but it is not a problem. Thank you :) I was hoping that you could reply me lol My main concern is that as they are two jobs,...

Hello, I was wondering if the following is allowed under Tier 2: I am currently working as a full time (37.5 hours) NHS Band 6 Physiotherapist. There is a secondment opportunity that comes up in the Department for a part-time (18.75hours) Band 7 Physiotherapist. My manager has said that if successfu...

Thank you CR001 for your response. It is unlikely that his employer will raise his salary. Based on your response, he has decided to not to apply for at least the next few weeks in the hope of a correction to Appendix J as promised in the second page of the updated 03-2019 Tier-2 policy guidance as...

Hi! Hope someone could advise. I have a couple of queries: I have a current Tier 2 visa and have since applied for a new job. I have a CoS from the new employer now and could not find the link for creating a new tier 2 Visa application. Is this the correct link that I got from the “extend your visa...

It depends on which start date the new employer has put on the CoS. If the start date on the CoS is May then you can continue to work for the current employer until the day before the start date on the CoS, regardless when the new visa starts. If the start date on the CoS is 2nd April 2019, then yo...

Hi Mhib, Many thanks for your reply. Yeah, that does make sense and we will now try to change her joining date so that she can join within the 28 days rules. Please can you also advise, now she is joining on a different date as mentioned on her CoS, is it required by her HR to notify Home Office ab...

I reckon as long as you apply as if you were in Canada, it should be fine

In a word - Yes. The RLMT could not possibly be an open and fair recruitment if you had already been selected prior to completion of a valid RLMT. While it may not get picked up at application stage you also have to consider it may be found at a subsequent Home Office visit. It is a risk only your ...

Hi UKLL, Frontier Mole, Please advise, as after so many chases and email communication with my wife's HR, finally HR added the below information in the Sponsor Note also I've attached the screenshot herewith. Please can you suggest if it will suffice the requirements. We will be really thankful to ...

Legally you don't need to serve 6 months notice. It is not legally required and your current employer cannot force you to serve the notice period. In fact when you obtain your new visa your current employer cannot keep you anymore from the start date on the CoS, otherwise they are breaching the rule...

May I request a reply on this post please. Just to reconfirm that - My wife is applying for Tier 2 visa change of employer application. She has got RLMT test ticked in her CoS. However the details about the job advertisement are not properly mentioned by the HR and only comment given is "The role h...

within 3 months

Strange situation to be in, why was your offer of employment cancelled? As the previous answer sets out you are unable to work for your current sponsor as of 31/03. You could work for your current Sponsor for 20 hours per week technically. The most sensible thing to do is to get your current Sponso...

My understanding is that the hours you work for your own hospital as a bank nurse count as overtime, rather than second employment, but I could be wrong. What does your payslip say? Hello. Thanks for replying. The tax code on my bank payslip is the same on my permanent post. Does this mean this is ...

Hello, I would appreciate your insight on the following situation. I am currently in the UK on a Tier 2 Visa valid until Sep-2019. Following an offer from a new employer, I applied and got approval for a new Visa on March-1, with the intention to start with the new employer on Apr-1st. Before submi...

Hi, I have found a new sponsor and they have finished the RLMT and issued a CoS. They have now advised me that they expect me to do the visa application myself rather than them doing it. Also that left me with a couple of urgent questions that I need answering to finalise my application: - Will I n...
