The COS number is a Ref# for all of that information. Once the High Commission punch it into the system at their end they will see all of the details that have been input from your employer. ON the application form you should have (Appendix 5) There should be boxes to insert the CoS. Do so here. A o...

If your company is saying what you have quoted then it may be the fact that they are willing to sponsor you the £800 maintenance requirement. I would check the application and if this is the case your Bank Statements do not need to be provided as the company will cover the full amount.

1. You can't switch status from a Visit Visa to a dependant Visa In the UK. She will have to go back to her country of origin to apply for the visa itself, re-enter the UK stating her intentions and obtain a fresh entry clearence stamp.

2. This doesn't belong in the Tier 2 section of these forums.

This topic is created to get inputs from people who have tier-1 already but still waiting in their current job in india watching UK job market and plan to make decision when to fly to uk and start searching job. My guess Feb2010 is the right time if any others has different opinion pls post the tim...

lol if you look back at this time last year there are identical posts to this. :D I would have to say that after christmas would be a good bet. The UK agencies really tend to slow down over the holidays. Dark when you wake up in the mornings, Dark when you go home. All your money goes on birthdays, ...

If your sending your Passport it has your D.O.B in?! Who told you that you needed to send a driving Licence?

Van Der Elst Visa's are little known about but can potentially grant you the ability to work for 12 motnhs in the EU whilst on a UK Visa.

If you'd like more info please PM me.

As John has quite rightly said, never make plans to overstay. It is never anything that you want to have to put on an application or have an immigration officer see in your passport upon arrival.

Sorry I mis-read.

I would merely encorage you to be very vigalante if the company starts asking for money for fees or anything else.

Good luck otherwise and no you don;t need to submit contract information to the embassay as this will be done by your company when they issue the CoS online to you.

Hmmm. I recently heard of an American girl submit a Tier 2 application to state group 2 that claim to do most of thier applications in 2 -5 days. She got hers back after 20 days. The reason was that although the High Comission recived the application, they didn't open it for 2 weeks, then made a dec...

TNT are awesome.

Can you link me the section that quoted 4 weeks please? 0.o

About 3 - 5 months. Maybe sooner if your lucky but it can take an awfuly longtime.

You will almost certainly need the orginal degree certificate.

Have you also ensured that you have enough maitainance funds for the past 3 months?

I seriously doubt that a highly respected US company would put themselves on the line to break UK immigration law just for me. I've heard of quite a few compnaies (Inclduing a very large Oil compnay) that get so large they simply just don't care. Everything isn't quite as shiny an polished as large...

So you submitted your application for a PSW visa before you had finished your studies and got your degree?

One should read Mein Kampf, who saved the World from that? Those times it was dog eat dog, I feel no need to apologise for it, that was then and now is now.

Hi Mountainhigh, I am wondering why in the first place you develop this evil thinking, about a fellow human being like you. If you have any grudges or misunderstanding why dont you sort it out instead planning evil. Or are you an immigration Officer? or an informant? "WHATEVER YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU...

On the plus side, if you have to wait 9 years you'll porbably be able to get it back youself by then

Its basically 20 hours a week whilst in term time, 40 hours a week when not studying.

God works in the Home Office?

I've always wondered why it worked in mysterious ways

Unfortunately Checking with the Home Office is Useless in any method that you wish to use, plus the fact it changes nothing. There is no real way of checking the processing time; it's really just a case of waiting and seeing. No applications in the last month went beyond 60 days and given that hers ...
