Re: Absence in spouse visa

Until a change is announced or proposed no one can answer that question. IF and that is a massive guess type IF there is a change it is likely to be that ILR will not be considered until a period of 5 years actual residency is achieved. So periods outside the UK could be discounted - therefore you h...

Re: Skilled worker dependent visa - Vignette Transfer

The basic rules for transfer are - you have not traveled - obviously. The intended travel is after the expiry of the vignette and within the date of the expiry of the visa granted. For dependents there is not a window / timeframe that you have to meet for the vignette transfer as long as it is befor...

Re: Help needed for visa application SOC

The date of assignment of the COS sets the guidance in place. Choose the updated SOC code and it should let you proceed. The caseworker will examine the two different SOC's to ensure they match from the old to the new SOC list. As a double back up your sponsor can add a note to SMS saying the SOC is...

Re: 7 year route on basis of private life

Once your dependents have been in the U.K. for 5 years then they will be able to apply for ILR. This is based on your continuing stay under your current or future qualifying visa. The seven year rule relates to children of parents with no leave under mostly failed asylum claims. It is not going to a...

Re: ILR application withdrawn- urgent advice needed please

There is no appeal process for withdrawn applications as it is not an immigration decision. The application was abandoned by the exit of the applicant and therefore the applicant is unable to meet the requirements as they were no longer present in the UK. The issue is that the main applicant is outs...

Re: Skilled Worker Child dependant visa - refusal

The other barrier to any documents submitted from Nigerian sources is the general view that there is a high possibility that they are forged or constructed for the purpose of immigration purposes.

Re: Skilled Worker Child dependant visa - refusal

Given the refusal and the obvious issue that there is a belief the children are not the OP’s then the suggestion that a hospital and school letter will overcome the issue is rather optimistic.

Re: Salary on defined COS if decision is made after 4th April

General statements from gov.uk are not a great place to gather the detail. You need to look at the law or the caseworker guidance for the detail.

As long as the COS was assigned before the cut off point the previous rules apply. If the rules in play for the job role meet the higher of the thresholds be it rate for the job, national living wage or £26,200 then it will be fine. There are lower rates of pay for shortage occupations and new entra...
