To be honest with you, I did not see COS form but I will find out if it has any option to say that they can tick a box to say that they can provide £900 for maintenance. It would be great if I can hear senior moderators thoughts on this issue. your employer can just say they are taking care of main...

Thanks manci. I actually called UKBA today and they said the same thing as you. My problem however is that when the new application is approved it will automatically cancel the old one and I guess my current employer will be notified which I'm sure won't go down well given that I have a 4 weeks not...

I wrote back, and now they have replied saying that they have found my passport. and will be reconsidering my application again. and will have to recall my appeal (ukba will let me know when to do this)

I had emailed to the person who had refused my application. She finally got back to me. Here is what she said: "Please can you send your Passport back into me for reconsideration." and the address to post it to. BUT - the UKBA has retained my passport, and i have already posted my appeal (...

It could me a trivial thing but confuses me. I'm currently filling up my Tier 2 application form. I have the sponsor licence number from HR manager which has 9 digits. There are 8 blanks in the application form. Is this just a simple usual mistake by UKBA (like 7 blanks somewhere and 6 blanks somew...

Quick update - i have posted my Appeal today, hopefully should work out ok!

does any one know how long appeals usually take?

Hi guys, I just want some clarifications before going forward: 1. I am currently registered with ACCA and have been exempted with F1, F2, F3 and F4. I assume I am part I qualified? 2. If yes, can I apply as assistant accountant Job code 2421 quoting a salary of £20,001 per annum (more than £20K and...

Is it not correct if you are switching it from PSW you need to have minimum of NQF Level 6 occupation? So if you are showing it as an Artist, it is not a NQF level 6 job. Pls read below:- Codes of practice for Tier 2 (General) and Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) Applicants under Tier 2 (General) or...

thank god! our offices are shut the whole next week as well!

1. Have you applied before the expiry of your PSW leave on 27 October? 4. Without having seen the documents it appears that a mistake may have been made by the caseworker. Try to contact the caseworker by phone if there is a direct phone number on the letter and also by email if there is a full nam...

1. what is the expiry date of your PSW visa? 2. what is the date of the refusal letter 3. have you been given right of appeal? 4. have you tried contacting the caseworker whose name is on the refusal letter? 1. PSW expired on the 27th of October 2012 2. Date of refusal letter 19th December 2012 3. ...

any experience member please help We applied in mid august and have not received any response yet. My employer contact them and they said that our application still waiting to assign the case worker but i can see application after our date are getting response. whats going on are they just lying to...

Hi, I’m currently on PSW and will be switching to Tier 2 (General). My visa expires in Feb 2013 and my company has already provided with COS. I have few doubts before I submit my application. 1. Currently my salary is 26k however I will be paid 30k in future as required under the SOC code 2132 (Net...

Looks like the case worker thought that you don't come under SOC 3411. Does your job description tally with 3411 description? yes, quite very closely actually. and it doesnt say that they thought that i didnt come under the SOC code. they quite plainly say that it's not NQF 6 therefore have decline...

Hi hashmil, Sorry about the visa thing. I looked at your situation. I think in Section R document, it saids From 14 June 2012 applicants under Tier 2 (General) or Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) must have an offer of a job at or above NQF 6 if they are:  applying from abroad; or  applying to swit...

Para 77E sets out that jobs must be at nqf level 6 or above unless an exception applies, and switching from psw is not one of them. Hey greenie, that para also states that it can be NQF4(creative). which was my job code (the very code i used was in that para as well). yes, today i received my refus...

So I'm switching from Tier 1 PSW to tier 2 general. Had the whole sponsorship registration delay shinanigans. Been there, done that, got the shirt. Was hoping that everything was in place, as i double and triple checked everything down to the NQF requirements. But after all that trouble and pain got...

Bad news guys. UKBA managed to put together my COS with my application. however, they have refused is because my COS isn't a NQF 6. It is a NQF 4(creative sector). HOWEVER, on the Tier 2 guidence doc they say this: Applications for entry Clearance or switching into tier 2 (General) 64.If you are app...

Hi all, God is great, guys i got my visa today. I received my passport and other supporting document back with a letter confirming that my application has been successful and i should expect to receive my Bio metric card in the next few days. Which they already try to delivery me yesterday. I am ve...

Does the SMS ever crash? My head of HR or whatever claims it crashed on him when he was in the middle of completing my CoS. I have every reason to doubt his story. Kate to be fair i heard someone else had a similar issue with the initial application forms. but what i think it should be a technical ...

dears, My company applied on July i think and they They have told me today morning that they started to receive email about their system login for the government website. Should i consider this as an indicator that they will receive the license? The website i am referring to is the official UKBA ap...

No Idea about it Priyanka, As I work as Software Engineer and one of my friend has same position and applied for Tier 2 switching from PSW in last april. He got his visa in july. So I am sure my position would be fine for this visa category. What position are you working on? I think from june the r...
