A quick question to dear forum members. I am not sure if anyone of you knows the answer. I am a Tier 2 Visa Holder. Am I allowed to open up a Treasures Bank Account (it is classed as a Business Account) for a non-profit, not for business local community that I am part of. There is no work or payment ...

Thanks CR001. I thought as much. Does that mean my old employer will have to do the RLMT right?

Hi All,

I have applied for a new job and completed the Visa application and have received green light from the HO. I haven't received my BRP yet (went for 1 day appointment).

But, now my old employer doesn't want to let me go. Is there anyway to reverse the whole process?

Thanks

Many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

If you apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence, your spouse is unable to apply for ILR as a PBS dependent and must switch to flr(m), which will reset her 5 year clock for ILR to zero. Note it does not reset the clock for 10 years LR. Flr(m) route will be 2 x 2.5 year visas and she must meet ...

Not sure if I would agree on the neutral cost to taxpayer aspect. Application fees for certain categories do seem to be yielding hefty profits to the UKVI https://www.freemovement.org.uk/another-massive-increase-immigration-nationality-application-fees-2017-18/ Nevertheless, it is the migrants ...

Dear Members, We are in a predicament. I hope someone can answer this. I will be completing 5yrs on Tier2 Visa next year, at the same time I will be completing 10yrs continuous residence as well. Meanwhile, my wife will also fulfil 5yrs as my Tier2 dependant, overall she will be completing 7 years ...

This is not about fraudsters tricksters cheaters etc. Its about honest tax paying, law abiding, highly skilled migrants who contribute a lot to the UK economy. It is unfair to "punish" honest migrants - so are you saying these honest migrants should be held responsible for all the criminals in the ...

Dear All, I am sure there are many of us who are in a same situation. I'm proposing to legally challenge the "atrocities" of UKVI - the never ending exorbitant visa fee increases, NHS surcharges and £35k requirement for ILR etc. We people who are on Tier 2 pay all the taxes, NI etc, never claim a ...

Hello,

How did your extension go? Did you change your Work Start Date? Can the work start date be before the current work end date?

Thanks

Thank you gag285. Much appreciated.

Dear All, I am on Tier 2 Visa and I have recently become a dad. My employer very recently started a scheme called kiddivouchers. In this you get child care vouchers in lieu for salary sacrifice. I would like to get these child care vouchers since it will be a great savings. My question is:- 1. Can ...

Hi Everyone, I was about to update this thread soon. Yes, we reapplied again and got the Visa this time. They got the visa last week. :) This is what we did, I hope it will help someone. We submitted the value of the property that they own which was valued by a licensed surveyor. We also submitted a ...

property ownership documents do not demonstrate your financial ties with your home country . This is just outright stupid. What else do they require to prove financial ties? Do they only grant visas to Billionaires? All he/she wanted to see is regular income which I couldn't demonstrate because my ...

I am on the same boat, parents' visa refused yesterday. I am thinking to re-apply visit visa for my mother only. But still unsure how to justify why my father is no longer willing to travel to UK. We have decided to reapply for both. After some research I found that it will help if we keep a ...

Don't think there's any quotas, best to keep things simple especially for the first few, short visits, leave no chance of anything being misconstrued or causing raised eyebrows. I agree above that 5 months is a long time, along with a kid on the way, does give the ECO something to get his teeth ...

Probably makes it worse as the ECO could see that as a visa for an unpaid nanny...... Interesting... I have heard multiple conflicting arguments regarding this. Some say don't say that they are visiting their pregnant daughter. Yet other opine that it is good to say so. I have literally just spoken ...

Thanks CR001,

That is what I am going to do. One more question. My wife is pregnant. Will it help if we say that the parents are coming for moral support?

Thanks.

Thanks,

That is what I said to the solicitor, yet he insists that we can go for Administrative Review. I think he is trying to con me.

I just found this webpage https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outreach/UKVI_Admin_Review_Guidance.ofml After you click Apply for and Administrative Review, On Page 3 I found the following:- Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 4 Tier 5 ILR None of the Above It allows me to select "None of the Above" and continue with ...

Update.

I spoke to a solicitor here and he says we can go for an Administrative Review. But I can't find any information on Administrative Review for Visitor Visa refusals.

Is it true that we can go for Administrative Review?

Can anyone with experience/knowledge advise?

Thanks.

Thank you vignezh for you reply. The option that you have given is the one which we are now considering. Regarding the 5 month stay, I thought better be straightforward rather than being sorry later. I have read on a post here that someone's subsequent visa application was rejected because they ...

Thank you CR001 for your prompt reply. Did they provide their bank statements to prove the 'other' income? Yes Did they provide anything else in their name to show ties (i.e. not stuff in other family members names)? All they have is the land and house on it. It is in their names. The value of this ...

Thanks for the reply. I note that your son in law has stated in a letter that he will sponsor your trip to the UK and from the documents you have submitted I am satisfied that he has the ability to do so. I acknowledge the importance of maintaining family contact and have considered the ...

Dear All, Once again gutted with immigration rules of UK. We had applied for the wife's parents to come to the UK as a family visitor. Unfortunately the visa was refused. From what I can see it was refused because the officer felt that they would not return back to India. I believe that we submitted ...
