Tier 1 Dependent to Tier 2 General - URGENT please

[karpu]

Hi All,

Need your opinion and experiences if any one come across or heard such situations.

At present I am on Tier 1 dependent visa which is expiring on 27th April 2013. As I can’t extend my visa from UK my company is formally agreed to sponsor Tier 2 General from India.

Now the problem is my company is saying we have seen cases in past where "when we are sponsoring Tier 2 General visa from India (especially who are on Tier 1 Dependent in the past) UKBA is not responding or telling any decision for long time (up to 3 months or more) without any reason.

Because of this reason my company is not giving any timelines or commitment whether they will process Tier 2 General for me from India or not.

There are lot of dependencies with this decision, whether I should pack up completely from UK and go back to India. OR Go for 3 to 5 weeks for Visa processing keeping house, Car and other stuff as it is.

If anyone comes across such cases or any kind of experiences during Tier 2 General Visa process who are previously on Tier 1 Dependent please comment.

Which will help me in taking better decisions
