GOING WRONG

I am not an expert. All I know in simple terms is unless you COMPLETE the full formalities of switching before you leave UK you won't be allowed back in the country. Sorry, but you will have to ask an expert on these matters but no way you can leave UK and re-enter whilst your switching is in proces...

Switch advise

1. Do not leave UK once you finish your job. You normally get 60 days curtailment when your current employer notifies UKBA. 2. Request you new sposnor to issue you COS and take premium appointment to finalise your switching. 3. If money is not a constraint, it's better to use a good solicitor in UK ...

Administrative Review

I received the following reply for my admin review, does it mean that it has been successful? If yes, is there a timeline within which I have to go to BHC as I am out of country currently and expected back in 10-12 days? Also, there isn't a list of documents mentioned, does it mean I have to just su...

So little hope .... how long do they take to process the business ...

extension - visitor visa

As far as I know its under exceptional cases like family member illness etc. It is not a very suggestive course in my opinion unless dire emergency. What's your circumstance?

Cooling off period

Thanks Manci :( Very strange for UKBA to publish such an error on Sponsor Guidance and not correct it because if we read through the entire para on cooling off, nowhere its suggesting that its applicable to Long term ICT only. Anyway, I previously also had a work permit from March 2006 to March 2011...
