Hi

Same can be used.

Hi

I had different name in birth and changed the new name in Government Gazette

In Skilled Worker Visa application, under personal details section it's asking another name details but nowhere its indicating that we need to provide evidence of another name.

Do we need to submit name change gazette in uploading documents section? or it is not required? If we need to provide this, do we need to give statutory declaration with justice of peace or just statutory declaration along with name change gazette would suffice?

Hi

I received COS from my employer

There are few amedments required in particular such as name and nationality details needed to be amended

I requested my employer to amend this and resend to me

Do I receive amended COS with new certificate number or certificate number would not change?

Looking forward reply as soon as possible as i need to fill my dependents application form based on this

Hi

Shall anyone please confirm me what's the priority visa cost for Skilled Worker Visa for applying outside the UK?

UKVI indicates as follows:
£573, if your visa gives you the option to settle permanently in the UK
£250, if your visa does not give you the option to settle permanently in the UK

I applied recently and they charged only 250 pounds only as Skilled worker visa allows to settle permanently after 5yrs why did they charge only 250 rather than 573 pounds?

Hi

I have completed my biometrics recently for Skilled Worker visa

I took document checklist with me but VFS officer advised as I already self uploaded documents online I don't need to sign that checklist

But I read in documents checklist we should take it for our appointment and sign?

Shall you anyone please clarify this matter?

The application system automatically charges the fee depending on the type of visa you're applying for, no need to worry about that.

If for any reason there was a mistake in the money paid, the UKVI will contact you in due course.
