Re: Working on post study work permit and moving to tier 2

While a decision is pending, his existing graduate route visa conditions continue. That is it, nothing more and nothing less.

What visa category does she hold exactly? This determines the form she has to use for an extension. It is not a one size fits all form.

What exactly has he varied if he is currently on a graduate route visa???

A Skilled Worker visa would be a NEW visa, not a variation.

No, you cannot use two referees who are related, either by marriage or by blood.

No he cannot. There is no 7 year route for children on skilled worker dependent visas.

He is a contractor not a permanent staff via a 3rd party payroll agency. This is not permitted on Skilled Worker visa.
