Tier 2 App: Section I

[Mark61]

Hello,

My first post, forgive errors please:

I am preparing to make a Tier 2 (General) Application from the USA. I have a sponsor. They are about to issue me a restricted certificate of sponsorship. I am trying to get ahead of the curve and filling out the Tier 2 application now. My questions are:

1. Section I. "Contact details in the UK." I have a UK-domestic partner. I will be living with her when I emigrate to the UK with my Tier 2 visa. Should I enter any "Contact details in the UK" - my partner's address or my sponsor's address?

I ask this because I don't wish any business correspondence from UKBA to be sent to these UK addresses. I want them sent to my USA address while I am in the USA making the application. But, after I emigrate to the UK I would like to receive business correspondence from the UKBA at one of the UK addresses.

2. Where in the Tier 2 application do I specify my USA address. I can't find a place to enter my USA address.

Sincerely,

Mark

Hello,

1. Once I submit my Tier 2 (General) visa application, I think I will receive a BRP invitation, correct? Can I choose the embassy in which I submit my biometric information or will the embassy be assigned to me?

For example, will they assign an embassy closest to my domicile in the USA?

2. Where can I find a list of biometric data locations in the USA?

3. WorldBridge Services offers a Priority Service. They state on their website that your application is placed at the front of the queue for US$150. Is this service greatly speed up your application? For example, 95% of Tier 2 (General) applications were processed in the USA in 10 days (UKBA website) in October, 2012. Will the Priority Service speed this up by, e.g. 5 days or more?

Sincerely,

Mark
