Yes it is clear that degree will be acceptable for english. But the problem is that UkBA hasn't specified any details, for instance does it has to be as per the pbs calculator or direct NARIC certificate is enough? Hope they clarify this soon for those on dependent visa applying for ILR. Atleast for...
For Tier 1, direct NARIC verification is only possible for qualification, but not for english. But as from my above post the rules are different for partners of settled/citizens. Comments welcome http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier1/general/eligibility/qualifications/ If...
I did some research, and found some info in the below link. This is not for ilr english test, but for partners of already citizens and settled persons. Hope UKBA provides some thing similar for ilr purposes. Comments welcome. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/partners-other-fam...
Wish it were more clear. AFAIK UKBA has only published their intent, not the rules as such. Hope they do it soon enough, as it gives time for us to do accordingly, especially those who have ilr due soon after october 2013. PBC list with respect to english is not up to date i think. In the worst case...
params0073, I am in the same situation with regards to English requirement as you, i.e. dependent has a degree which appears on PBC but PBC doesn't award any point. I am sure it is naric camparable, only that pbc is not updated. D4109125, I hope you are correct! Not sure which one ukba gives precede...
What does the following taken from page 6 mean then about those who have degree in english? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/182545/statement-of-intent-koll.pdf The following groups are considered automatically to meet the English language component of the Ko...
I hope UKBA clarifies the rules very soon as it is resulting in lot of confusion. I have ILR coming up early next year (Tier2 main & dependents). It seems those who have a degree taught in English (equivalent to NAIRC) do not need to take any test. But for ILR what proof need to be submitted (in add...
Thanks manci. Can you also clarify the following Sponsors are given unrestricted CoS allocations for one year, April to April, and they can request an increase in their allocation any time. Any ideas for the current waiting times for an increase in allocation for a A rated sponsor? However, you don'...
I am due for Tier 2 extension early 2014, with same employer and job. Have been on Tier 2 visa from the start (2009) with same employer and have previously applied for extension visas. Question: I understand COS can be only be issued 3 months before expiry date of visa. But when is the earliest the ...
I may have to attend a conference in January for 1 week and apply for a B1 visa. My UK BRP validity ends in April. So I was wondering if there is a requirement of minimum X months for the BRP at the time of US visa application? I know that passport need to have a validity of atleast 6 months. Please...
When you applied for the dependent visa, did you submit a letter from your employer stating that you are currently employed with them? Can you let us know?
If not provide it in your new application or appeal which ever you choose.
I posted a similar query a few months back....see the below link. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=97474&highlight= At some point of time when I am eligible for promotion, I will also need a definite answer to this. If I understand correctly, if the SOC code and employer doesn't chan...

I have a tier 2 visa from 2009 and have applied for a tier 2 visa extension now. In case if this gets rejected and have to leave uk, do you mean to say that I cannot apply for one year? Please clarify.
I want to prepare for the worst case scenario. In case the visa gets rejected (after my visa expiry date) what are the options that i have with the current employer. I will be in a better frame of mind to understand my options than when that scenario occurs. 1) If I am given the choice of appeal and...
I called the ukba several times and asked if putting a sponsor note is fine for working hours and I get mixed replies. Most say it is ok while some say it depends. Just about half a month for the current visa to expire and not sure if something can be done. HR says that UKBA usually calls them for c...
Thanks a lot manci for the reply. Under the circumstances I would not add the additional note you requested HR to put in and just leave it as an "error" (which is what HR put in the first place). Actually my HR also has just advised me the exact same thing - to leave it as an error and not put any m...
I applied for tier 2 extension on Feb 15 and did biometrics on 13 March. My current visa is valid till april 12. My working hours per weeks is 37+5(lunch break) =42. During my previous visa extension the working hours has been entered as 37. But in the present COS they have entered it as 42. Will th...
Happy for you liewanne that your received your docs and hope you receive the BRP as well soon.
But since the biometrics was done on 28 Feb, I was wondering what does the UKBA timeline of considering applications where the applicant attended a biometric appointment on or before 15 February mean then?
