No problem.

Just out of interest, are you switching to Tier 2 from other category or applying from outside the UK?

Hello everyone, I'm switching from Tier 4 to Tier 2 General soon and I've got one question regarding the National Insurance. It seems that it's necessary to provide NI number or say 'I don't have one' when applying for Tier 2 General. So my problem is that I have NI number, however, I received some ...

Hello all, My employer received an email from the Home Office notifying him that they have activated his Sponsor Management System. This is the first we have heard from the Home Office re our application -- we haven't received news it was successful for or not. But, does this email with the SMS inf...

There are two pieces of information needed to access the SMS, one comes by email,. the other by post You don't choose the SOC code, the company does, they are responsible for it to the HO. If the tasks described under SOC 3545 fit your job there is no problem. In addition to quoting the SOC code th...

Hello everyone, So it looks like the company who wants to employ me managed to get their Sponsorship License (they received an email with User 1 login details today) which is great news. I'm currently on Tier 4, having completed my course (NQF Level 7) in June 2013, therefore no labor market test is...

He can't switch from Tier 4 to Tier 2 General if he hasn't completed the course.

Congratulations!

If you don't mind, what industry your company works in? And also where is it based (in London or outside?)?

Few questions:

1. Did UKBA pre arranged the visit or did they just turned up unexpected?

2. What exactly they suggested in the action plan?

hii my compny applied for sponcer licence 3 weeks back and my HR received email from ukba asked how many cos and why u need licence and we replied back almost 1 week gone no hearing can any1 goes through this situation. ukba din ask for any suporting document tht means compny documents are ok. pls ...

My company finally received reply from UKBA, as well as all original documents they sent when applying. UKBA is saying that application was refused because they failed to submit mandatory document, which in the case of my company was food certificate. The problem is that my company does not deal wit...

Sounds like the case has been rejected. The typical reason is that a mandatory document was not received by UKBA. They write out and ask for more if a non-mandatory document is missing but reject and return everything where a mandatory document hasn't been provided. Ask the employer to call 0300 12...

My company applied for Sponsorship License around 2.5 weeks ago They've sent all documents by next day recorded delivery and made sure UKBA received it. They paid for application via UKBA's web site, using credit card. Payment of £515 was successful. Yesterday they received an email from WorldPay, i...

1. In guidance it says that Ltd companies (group 5) must provide at least 4 documents from appendix A. One of those documents could be 'Registration with a Governing Body'. Unfortunately UKBA does not consider Companies House a Governing Body, so therefore my question is would the certificate of re...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone here has any experience of getting the License from UKBA? I'm about to apply for one on behalf of a Ltd company (applying as a small business) who wants to employ me via Tier 2 route and have a couple of questions: 1. In guidance it says that Ltd companies (group ...

When the company applies to be a Tier2 Sponsor, It has to send a list of documents to prove that it is legitmate and it is following the law. When the home office accepts the company, it asks for the number of allocations for restricted and untristricted COS the company needs. This depends on how m...

Hi there! Could anybody please explain the following: What we have: - a company currently does not have Tier 2 License and will apply for one in June - a migrant who they want to employ is currently on Tier 4 Visa and is planning to apply for Tier 2 Visa in October this year.

talktonight, Could you please further explain, what this scheme call? As i can not find FSA approved firm who does this...Be careful you do not want to give £50,000 to a bogus company... There's no official name for it. I just thought about it for the last couple of days. Surely there are people ou...

I think it's highly unlikely you will get venture capital from an approved FSA source, but if you do, they are professional investors and will be pulling the strings to make sure the business is set up, registered and operating. Your plan to simply sit back and nothing is, therefore, quite ludicrou...

Hello! I'm currently on Tier 4 visa which expires at the end of 2013. I need to stay in the UK for another 2.5 years to achieve 10 year requirement and then apply for ILR on this basis.
