Don't quote me on this but earlier today I was on the phone to the UKBA (0300 123 4699) and was told that they have had a change of policy; they will now accept Tier 2 LTR applications without a CoS as long as the employer has applied for a licence. The advisor suggested that a letter from the empl...

Not necessary, but you can write one if you want to. It's not an exact rule. 2) Regarding the Job Title - Does it need to match exactly what is the Job ...

Re: Urgent advice required on Tier2 Visa application

It was just the fact that "all mandatory" fields were not filled in. When we double checked we found this out, and once everything is filled you should be able to assign and pay for it.

Re: License delay

So I just have to wait till Jan last week and then ask for special urgent treatment? So both the license and my visa will be sorted too at the same time?
