Transfer your visa to a new passport wrote: You don’t have to transfer your visa - you can carry both your old and new passports when travelling to or from the UK instead. For those with visa vignette stuck on their old passports, the link by Vinny is relevant. For those with a BRP to begin with, t...
I have had tier 2 visa issued on my old passport and then I rrenewed it. I have subsequently travelled abroad and entered UK again with only my BRP and the new passport. I did not have to carry my old passport. It is common sense that passports do expire and I have not seen any guidance stating you ...
Congratulations chemist :) I am really confused by reading through the thread though regarding the first question you had asked (earliest date to apply being either 1st September 2016 OR 23rd September 2016). It seemed that the advice given to you suggested that the earliest you can apply is 23rd Se...
There is no restriction on switching from one sponsor to another provided all other conditions are met. For ILR, if you satisfy all other conditions, then it is perfectly OK to have worked for more than one sponsor over the course of the 5 years qualifying period on Tier 2.
I have rented a property from a letting agency, with showing my driving licence. Because I am a Tier 2 migrant, I do understand the rules better than a lot of those who don't go through these visa issues, and while there is a law to check for right to live, it is very poorly implemented at the momen...
won't the issue of pre-selection come into play for RLMT once the return to NHS is made ? Others can advise but I think it can get tricky. After your postdoc, you will be applying again to the NHS job, and the NHS will have to advertise the post, and then prove that you were the best candidate among...
I have not gone through this issue myself but just common sense dictates that it should have been a new vignette if you have not yet travelled to the UK. The reason is that even if a new BRP is issued and sent to a designated post office inside UK, you will still need to show your passport (which wi...
Here is what I found which is relevant to this discussion: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tier_2_general_visa_and_self_emp So according to the UKVI and the interpretation of conditions of supplementary work as a Tier 2 visa holder, self-employment is NOT permitted, pretty much what the senio...
Presumably she had T2 Dependant visa previously because her partner had/has T2 visa. Either she tries to find another employer who is willing to sponsor or get back on T2 dependant...Can't she get back on T2 dependant ?
Your visa expiry date will be in line with the contract you had. Actually you should be able to see some extra days granted to you on top of your end of contract date (assuming you were not on Tier 2 when you started) and those are supposed to be grace period. Nevertheless, generally the Home Office...
" Period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period. Any absences between the date of issue and entry to the UK are considered an allowable absence. This period...
Check this for the last point (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tier_2_dependent_extension_why_a) If the principle migrant changes employer, the dependants do not need to reapply provided their existing visa is valid. In your particular case, if the visa is indeed curtailed, then it would pres...
(1): Yes, your daughter needs visa (she wouldn't have if she was born inside UK and was not travelling outside) (2): Yes, it is possible and home office has no issue/concern with her job, that would be between your wife and her company (as she is on a dependent visa, and not Tier 2) (3): Others can ...
I disagree. You are allowed to work upto 20 hours per week in addition to your current job on Tier 2 provided it meets certain conditions which are: (taken directly from the guidelines on page 54, found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/514054/Tier_2_Pol...
Tier 2 visa is attached to an employer. Whether you can apply for extension or not will depend on your current employer or any new employer who is willing to sponsor you and you will need a certificate of sponsorship. Assuming you have that part sorted, you can first apply for Tier 2 extension visa ...
I have recently been through the visa application process for my wife and son who applied from Pakistan. I sent all the documents from UK, and then my wife submitted those documents in the visa application centre in Pakistan. First I prepared all the documents and sent them via International Signed ...
Thank you for your response, and I am sorry to hear about this recent mistake. I wish you luck and hope that very soon, both you and husband will get the visa and start working in the UK.
Just to update, Visa granted to both my son and wife
But given the amount of anxiety and concern, my advice to any others making their application is to submit further evidence of relationship (emails, pictures etc.) although the guidance documents do not talk about it..just to be sure..
I ended up not submitting any further documents as I was advised against it. Anyway, just to update, my wife and son got the tier 2 dependant visa. The total time it took from submitting documents to getting passports was 14 days!
Thanks for the response. There is no harm in submitting extra documents, if only I had known prior to application :/ The homeoffice guidance document only talks about birth certificate for child and marriage certificate for partner in their documents required guidance for PBS...How difficult is it f...
moonlight55, thanks for the reply. I have asked regarding my case earlier which is under process.
