Just about to pay IHS after I added my dependant details in the form, it displays £1200 in the payment summary, for both of us. Is it one single IHS payment and one IHS reference number for the two of us ...

Re: Tier 2 Visa Extension (Fee issue)

I wonder if you'll get another letter from HO, saying that you have only paid IHS fee for 3yrs and not for the additional 17days , since they can come up with anything !

paying an additional £664 fee is just ridiculous, especially when they're not going to issue the visa beyond the total 6yrs anyway.

Re: Tier 2 Visa Extension (Fee issue)

What is a sponsor note? As it is not possible to edit a live CoS, if any of the previously submitted information is incorrect, your HR can add a sponsor note on the COS to provide the correct details. I'm kind of in a similar situation, thanks to your post just spotted that my extension COS is 3yrs...

Acknowledgement from HO after amending COS

Hi My HR amended my work end date on my COS from 5 to 3yrs, by adding a sponsor note. Is a sponsor note sufficient to correct the 'work end date' ? or do I need an acknowledgement letter / email from HO confirming the change ? I just want my Tier 2 extension to go smoothly, kindly advice. Many thanks

Re: has RLMT been done? should I ask the question?

I wouldn't ask that question before my last interview round. But I will ask them everything once I'm offered a job and before they are ready to assign a new COS.

I've been assigned a new COS, but HR entered wrong start and end dates. Can these be amended on the same COS number ? Or Will I need a new COS with correct info ?
Hoping to make a T2 extension application in a few weeks time.

I don't think its mandatory but best to have your current address updated with HO especially during a visa extension or if you're expecting letters. You can do it online here: https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outrea ... pdate.ofml

Re: Tier 2 Extension Salary Requirement

Code: Select all

So I assume I need £25,662 ( 14.10 X 35 X 52 ). please correct me if I am wrong?
If I'm not wrong, it should be 28600/39 * 35 which gives you £25,666.67 for 35hrs a week
wait for others to comment.
