Thanks a lot for your response. I understand this concession does not apply to my Dependents. But my scenario is they joined me only after 1 year so they have only 4 years of qualifying period as PBS dependents. So I am planning to extend their PBS dependent visa for another 3 years. They will have ...
Hi All, Sorry for the long post. I switched from ICT dependent to Tier 2(now PBS) during Covid time in the year 2020. HO rules allowed me to do an In-country switch even for Tier 2(usually not allowed). These are my dates Tier 2 Application Date (from ICT dependent - In-country switch) - 16 Jul 2020 ...
Hi, I currently hold a PBS visa and will be eligible for ILR this July. However, my dependents do not meet the ILR eligibility criteria, so I am planning to extend their PBS Dependent visas. As per my latest COS, the maintenance of dependents is marked as 'Yes.' Is there a financial requirement for ...
Thank you so much for your response. In such case I am eligible to from on 22 July 2025. My current COS is valid till 30 July 2025. Is it required to extend my COS till I get ILR decision if the application extends the same terms and conditions as of the previous visa?
Hi All, I know its too early but wanted to know in advance. I switched from ICT dependent to Tier 2(now PBS) during covid time in the year 2020. HO rules allowed me to do In country switch even for Tier 2(usually not allowed) due to COVID reasons. These are my dates Date of Arraival to UK with ICT ...
I got a mail for IHS topup around 8 weeks after applying dependent visa for my husband and daughter and it was paid on the same day. It has been more than 1 month since i paid IHS top-up, but still i din't get any decision. Will it usually take this much time? Any approximate timeline from someone ...
Also just realized I paid only less than £500 for my dependent partner and dependent child as IHS fees for a 2-year extension. Not sure on which basis it was calculated. What will happen to my application? Will they reject or send a payment link alone for the remaining IHS? Or do I need to withdraw ...
I used the same link and applied and submitted. It didn't showed me as extension too. Is that correct? Or did I submitted wrongly? Does extension have some other link? https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/extend-your-visa Even I don't had any specific option to extend my partner and child and I ...
1. Can I use the same COS and process it from my Home country for a Visa extension if I travel back to my home country and wait for the COS? Will there be any challenge? Yes, but only if the employer has a Defined CoS to assign to you. 2. Will there be any change in the ILR clock in the above case ...

Could anyone clarify whether the priority is totally different request or it is something on top of the existing request sent by mentioning the normal request date in the priority request form? Kindly help me with this so that I will ask my employer to give it a try tomorrow morning
One more urgent clarification. As my employer applied for cos increase in normal way before 3 weeks to increase COS allication, if they need to go for priority, do they need to cancel the previous request and send mail for priority at 9? I am worried because priority service is based on luck and if ...

What will be the impact if I didn't get COS before expiry? If your visa expires, you become an overstayer. Am I allowed to work while I am waiting for COS? No, you are not permitted to work once your visa expires if you have not made and paid for an online application. Also am I allowed to stay in ...
As far as I know, there is no need for a new CoS for an extension. You are assigned a CoS once This is not correct. The OP needs a new CoS from the sponsor for a visa extension. The original CoS would have only been issued and assigned for a fix period. Shortly before that period ends, a new CoS ...
My PBS visa is going to expire on Aug 14 2023 and is due for an extension. My employer has applied for an increase in Undefined COS allocation 2 weeks before but still not got it. I was reading through many forum and it was mentioned it will take up to 18 weeks. I am worried about getting COS before ...
This is related to my previous post. My employer agreed to sponsor me for only 2 years. They will submit my application via a solicitor. I don't want to include my dependents with my application since I need to pay solicitor fees for them. My query is will there be any challenges if I submit my ...
Sorry for that. Am I restricted to travel before a decision under any circumstances? Is there a way I request the embassy or home office for some unavoidable circumstances after my application? I am asking just to check on the possibilities
Any help would be really appreciated. My father is not well in my home country and I need to plan my travel based on how quickly I am applying and getting my visa. Also, am I restricted to travel outside the UK after the application? I have my current visa valid till mid of August. After the ...
My Tier 2( currently pbs) visa is going to expire in another 83 days. I am about to receive COS for an extension. How early I can submit the pbs extension visa application? Do I need to wait for 60 days before the current visa expiry?
