28.8 You do not have to conduct a resident labour market test if a migrant you want to sponsor is applying for Tier 2 (General) leave in the UK and has, or was last granted leave to enter, or to stay in the UK under one of the following: a)Tier 1 (Post-study work) b)Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) c ...

245HF. Requirements for indefinite leave to remain ... (d) The Sponsor that issued the Certificate of Sponsorship that led to the applicant's last grant of leave must: (i) still hold, or have applied for a renewal of, a Tier 2 Sponsor licence in the relevant category; and (ii) certify in writing ...

Correction: forgive me, although not currently the rule, from 6 april 2016 the ilr requirement will be.. 35000 or the appropriate rate in your job code, whichever is higher. To answer the op's question then, it doesn't seem clear yet, but this applies at the time of the application for ilr. So most ...

As far as I know there is no set figure for Tier 2 ILR applications. The requirement is that you are paid at the appropriate rate for your job, so this will depend on which Code your job falls under. For ILR applications, the appropriate rate will be the experienced rate. This is because you will ...

Anyone gets approved CoS in the recent meeting (11th August 2014) of UKBA? Yes If the request is approved, then you normally find out on the same day (i.e. the 11th of the month). The panel meets on the 11th of each month (if a weekday, otherwise the following Monday I think?), which means that ...

If there's good advice to be taken from this thread, it is not to assume that your employer has it all covered. Insist on getting a printout of your CoS, and make sure everything matches up exactly in your application. And even send it with your other documents. Otherwise you risk losing money and ...

Thanks manci. So it's a little bit tricky to say without further info. The way I read it, it depends on whether and when (and where!) the Tier 2 ICT visa expired, before the date the Tier 2 General leave was granted. If it expired outside of the UK, then the application would have to be made no ...

@ NAR, Hello, I have been read your post regarding Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependent visa, I am living in UK last 4 years,Actually I have received my tier 1 Entrepreneur visa 4 weeks ago now I need to apply my wife.s visa as dependent from out side the UK.

I suspect your solicitor may have been talking about the investment. You can't rely on any money spent by the business over 12 months ago for the purposes of meeting the £50k requirement.

If you are under 26 you can be paid at the new entrant rate. Also, FYI whether your salary meets the appropriate rate will depend on the weekly hours that are in your contract. For example, if your contract says 30 hours then it meets the minimum appropriate rate. BTW technically, until Appendix A ...

I don't see why it should be a problem but if you are worried then you can explain this on the last page of the online form or in a letter. They will see straightaway that you are currently on Tier 4, so just explain it clearly. Btw, if your current Tier 4 visa was an extension after a different ...

Just to add to what manci has said, I think you can check the register of sponsors and see if a sponsor is B rated: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/341821/Tiers_2___5_Register_of_Sponsors_2014-08-07.pdf B rating is a temporary rating given while an employer ...

Unless you will be earning over £153,500 a year, or you are a Croation national, I think you will need a restricted CoS.

However, it sounds more like your sponsor doesn't know what it is doing, as the others have suggested.

Good luck!

I am not sure exactly why they have requested a degree certificate. How is your husband meeting the English language requirement? It could be connected to this? Could you have ticked the wrong box on the application form? It sounds a little strange. The partner of a Tier 4 migrant can switch to Tier ...

AFAIK if your sponsor stops sponsoring you, the UKVI will curtail your visa to 60 days. As physicskate says, your story sounds strange. Sponsors should not behave in this way - they are supposed to be hiring you to fill a genuine vacancy. If there is no such vacancy, then you should look for a ...

Tier 1 Entrepreneur? If you can free up £200k and can make a serious business plan, drawing on your qualifications and experience, then you would be eligible for this visa. It is difficult to say without knowing your finances, but if your mother has the funds and trusts you (!) this could be a good ...

You don't need to submit maintenance evidence. Just tick the Tier 2 General Migrant box in the form, same as for the English language evidence. I would recommend asking your employer for a printout of your CoS. Make sure that everything on the CoS matches exactly with the application form ...

I would also back up what Manci has told you. I would just add that you may wish to explain this in a supporting letter, to make it perfectly clear. But in terms of continuous leave, it counts so long as you applied for leave to remain before your previous leave expired. As long as you passed at ...

Hi Guys, Can you please just help with anything you know Do we need to request additional COS to create and assign unrestricted COS? At the moment, all we can see is: - Allocation limit: 1 - Allocation used: 1 - Allocation remaining: 0 - Increase requested: 1 Basically, the initial COS has been ...

Hi. I would just like to confirm. I already got a maintenance letter from my employer for my husband's visa application.. Do i still need to submit my bank statements? or my husband still need to submit his bank statements? Thank you. If your sponsor has certified your maintenance on the CoS, then ...

manci If you want to add a sponsor note, then you have to locate the correct CoS on the SMS and add or amend the note on it. The SMS describes them as 'live Cos', so they do not expire once they are used and leave is obtained, at least as far as the SMS seems to be concerned. You can add notes to ...

HI every one i have quick question would u plz guide me if smone can switch from spouse visa to entrepreneur visa, becoz my frind was with he partner as her unmarried partner but they have break up and now he cnt extend his visa in same satus plz advis tnx. :?: I don't think so, no.

I would like to know this from experts who understand the Entrepreneur visa guidelines and Accountancy or who has gone through Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension visa process. To elaborate my question, how should the accounts be prepared if you are trading under Limited company. Is it as simple as just ...
