Even if they are changing employers and not just extending their current leave?

Gosh these rules are as clear as mud!!

My salary was 17000 per year. For visa process everything was done by their representative On january 2nd their representative informed me they have received my refusal letter. The only reason was i received 0 points for salary. My refusal letter says my salary is 17000 per year and the hours was g...

Hey physicskate thanks a lot for answering. I didnt understand, you were eligible as a T2ICT while you were a trainee? Yeah indeed getting professional assistance would be my last resort, as the company told me that they are not willing to pay that much, so thats why at least i would like to know i...

Hi, Does anyone has something on this? Ive been trying to look over internet and in every article from the UKBA site and i cant find anything about this. Please help as i have to tell my employer. Ok, seriously I am no expert; let me preface everything with that. If you can qualify for a T2G, I wou...

I submitted my application Dec 12. Acknowledgment letter dated 15 Dec. No biometric yet... I reckon Royal Mail is still catching up with Xmas post... I hope!

The letter about my company's sponsorship application came through and was forwarded on to me. In the letter, it says: The maximum number of Tier 2 (General) unrestricted certificates of sponsorship (CoS) you can issue is zero (0). We're going through a solicitor, so I would imagine she did the pap...

Does anyone know how long Tier 2 visa processing is taking currently for applications from within the UK? Apologies if this is a redundant post; I took a look at the most recent topics and didn't see anything addressing this issue, but I could have missed it.... There is a sticky with timelines at ...

Does anyone know the approximate processing time for changing the sponsor app for Tier2 General? My guess is that it should take less than original Tier2 app because I have biometrics card already Thanks Same time. You will have to submit your BRP with your app and enroll biometrics again and get a...

Thanks very much for your reply. My employer told me the issuing of CoS will take some times, but I did not know there are two types of a CoS? Please do you think it’s important to inform my employer about this point? Thanks again, If they are not already aware, they need to know that you will requ...

I would like to apply for Tier 2 (General) visa. Does anybody know please which one is likely to be processed faster! Applications made inside or outside the UK? Thanks All of this depends on what your current visa category is (you may not be allowed to apply out of country or in country depending ...

Here is the deal. You are on Tier 4 visa and you can work in UK , if you find a job and your employer is willing to issue a Tier 2 sponsorship certificate ( CoS - Certificate of sponsorship). Employers can issue a certificate of sponsorship if your job description meet a minimum threshod salary. Se...

physicskate, I completely agree with you. I respect that if they found from the resident force it is fine. But, there are a lot of vacancies and the main issue with RLMT is that the procedure is time consuming and employers really does not want to do it. And if they miss something, they could loose...

If you think you fit an exemption, then go for it. But you don't unless you fit one of the categories that you quoted. And you don't seem to from the info you have given. If you think about it, the point of the RLMT is to keep out workers who could be found in the resident labour force. If someone e...

Thanks Manci, much appreciated. Just a quick question when you say leave does it mean leave to remain in UK or leave for a tier 2 general also does RLMT are meant for restricted COS only? Kind Regards RLMT is required unless the job falls under shortage occupation (or you are switching from PSW vis...

Hi I have a peo for a tier 2 visa coming up shortly. I am switching employers. I have been told that though they give you the decision the same day, it can take 5-7 days for the biometric residence permit to arrive. Can I join the new place as soon as I have the decision or do I need to wait for th...

Many Thanks for your reply, my sponsor has selected 'No' for the maintenance of funds. i guess then its necessary for me to show the maintenance myself? i have read on ukba tier 2 section which stats that people holding work permit are exempted from this section but i am not sure what work permit t...

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

Dear all, This has been quite a journey. I was hired by a new school in April. They received Sponsorship a week ago. They have received their log-on details for the SMS and will be issuing me a CoS today and I plan on posting my application tomorrow. Hurray!! The sticking point is that I left my pre...

My employer applied July 27. We did not request urgent treatment. We were added to the sponsor list today!!! Hurray!!!

Now I am just hoping they have been allocated the Cos they requested!!
