If you obtained entry clearance as T2 ICT Established Staff you must have applied before 6 April 2011 and you are allowed to switch to T2G provided you change sponsors. Immigration rule 245HD states that the requirement for leave to remain in the Tier 2 General category is that: " An applicant who h...
I am currently on a Tier 2 visa. It is valid until the end of 2014 however, I am planning to hand in my notice at the end of August. I know that once I do that, my office has to inform UKBA and they will curtail my visa to 60 days (2 months). I would like to travel around Europe for a month or so a...
You can switch to Tier 2 General in-country without any cooling-off period. Immigration rule 245HD states that the requirement for leave to remain in the Tier 2 General category is that: "An applicant who has ...leave as a Tier 2 ICT migrant must have previously had leave as a Tier 2 ICT migrant ......
As far as your husband's present Tier 2 status is concerned, if his job change didn't involve a change of sponsor, change of SOC code/salary there is no need to make a change of employment application or inform anyone. The sponsor NHS trust will have informed UKBA of the change of his work location....
When you get the sponsor licence you should assign a CoS to the prospective employee. This is done online through the SMS (Sponsor Management System). Once you assigned the CoS he will have to apply for leave to remain. The application form and help text are here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/s...
You have been incorrectly advised (surprised by the lawyer's advice, not surprised by the Helpline's advice). See the detailed description of the process of curtailment here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/cross-cut/online-payments1/curtailment-of-lea...
Your friend had a T2 ICT visa in 2010 but only stayed 3 months in the UK and then left his employer. His visa was presumably valid for 3 years. When your friend left his sponsor's employment in 2010 the sponsor should have reported this to UKBA and UKBA would have curtailed his visa. He cannot trave...
Thanks a lot for the clarification. However on the 2nd Point I would like to know if my understanding is correct. As you said "If you switch, your time under T2G will count towards the 5 years required for ILR" dose that whatever the time I spent in UK on T2 (ICT) will not count on my ILR or it wil...
Your post is unclear are you changing sponsors? Not changing sponsor. existing sponsor who was about to issue cos for the first time to me from their grant on one that they got with the license, made a mistake in the entry of salary. so they have now applied for fresh one. does the new sponsor have...
If my sponsor has ICT license already, how much time it takes for a new cos in unrestricted category? 2-3 months is still there? please let me know the same...my Cos came initially, but my sponsor wrongly typed my salary and now it seems they woould need to apply for fresh cos. please confirm this ...
I came to UK after 06th April 2010 but before 06th April 2011 in T2 (ICT) Establish Stuff Visa. After reading the entire comments here I have few clarifications 1) Can I apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain with my current visa status i.e. T2 (ICT) Establish Stuff once I completed my 5 years in UK?...
yes but it says under FLR(m) guidance that the applicant retains the right to work in the UK until his application is decided. Its the same health board though that is sponsoring him though just a different hopsital. From what you say it is likely that his sponsor/employer hasn't changed, only his ...
1) Employee had send a written letter to the UKBA, Work Permit, Sheffield office by post mentioning he has resigned and waiting for New employer to assign him the Cos but he hasn't received any reply From UKBA office (How do we come to know about his visa curtailment?) UKBA will write to his home ad...
UKBA will write to her at the address her previous employer recorded for her. If her address changed since then she should tell UKBA (change of circumstances, see below). There is no way, and no need, to check when UKBA will make the decision to curtail her visa. If she does not stay beyond the expi...
Her present visa probably only expires in 2013 so there are no problems on that account. You haven't directly answered my question but from what you say it appears that she hasn't yet been contacted by UKBA about the curtailment of her leave. The 60 days count from the date of UKBA's decision, not f...
Hi Manci, Do you think the email address you have suggested provide definitive answers? No guarantee, but worth a try . In my case, my employers suggest suggest or state? that they have made the application for Sponsor licence in mid April. This is clearly three months+. Meanwhile they have also ad...
Are you sure what UKBA in Liverpool told you is correct? Do you have information about the rules that apply to the ONP that you participated in? If it was through City University talk to their student immigration advisor. If that doesn't lead anywhere, i.e. it is confirmed that you must apply from a...
It was your employer's responsibility (not yours) to determine the SOC code when they assigned the CoS to you. If they put SOC code 2132 Graduate Developer in the CoS they must have known what that means as per the quote above.
. Can I apply as a graduate developer? I have less than 6 months experience of commercial programming however, from what I've been reading, it seems to be considered a graduate developer, you must have graduated less than 6 months ago . I'm confused by all this. I am worried that the UKBA will not ...
I'm not familiar with the Overseas Nurses Program but assuming that what UKBA told you in Liverpool is correct, i.e. that you have to apply from overseas, I suggest that you contact your NHS sponsor and explain the situation. The unrestricted CoS they assigned to you is not going to be suitable if y...
