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

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...

Re: Can I teach recreational gymnastics on GTV?

If you are solely a volunteer coach at a local non competing club and you are not in receipt of any payments or benefits then you are in a reasonable safe zone. Soon as there is a reward, financial or otherwise, of any shape or form then it gets messy and you fall foul of the sports body and the Hom...

Re: Skilled Worker Child dependant visa - sole responsibility refusal

I suggest you really push hard with the fact you are a family unit and make it beyond clear that the family all bar the child is in the UK - and I mean explanation for dummy volume 1 type stuff.

Re: Skilled Worker visa (Time Spent Outside UK)

If the individual is working remotely outside the UK then the issue is why is there a need to be employed in the UK. This points to the role not being required in the UK and therefore is possibly a non-genuine vacancy within the definition of the skilled worker guidance. So from that point alone it ...

His new employer should notify the Home Office through SMS that his start date has been delayed due to working his notice period. All good thereafter and nothing to worry about.

Re: SWV holder's pension Scheme

As long as your employer offered you a pension scheme that meets the minimum statutory requirements and then you formally opted out of the scheme, there is nothing to worry about.

As for your overseas pension scheme - not an immigration matter.

Re: Change of Occupation Code - Extension/Update?

Your current visa remains valid under the SOC it was issued under. When you need to extend at the point before expiry your employer will issue a new COS, only then will the new SOC code be required.

Re: Skilled Worker Child dependant visa - sole responsibility refusal

The court document was and is needed to show that you are legally and verifiably holding sole responsibility. The issue is that in the absence of other documentation that is the only document the Home Office can rely on. Do you have a divorce certificate or something to show the relationship with th...

Re: Can we switch from care visa to Chefs or not.

There is no legal barrier to switching to a chef role. You will have to find a sponsor to offer you a role and apply as a fresh new application with all the fees to be paid again.

AR will not overturn the decision. Unless you are able to convince the Home Office that sole responsibility was not solely documented for the purpose of obtaining a dependent visa… which it was, it is going to be incredibly difficult and challenging appeal process through the courts.

There is not a simple answer to your situation. Have you already applied for the spouse visa? If so it is fingers crossed and wait. There is a massive surge of applications in recent months since the announcement so it is likely to be a longer turnaround time. Is your wife in her home country? Or a ...
