Dear Zimba,

Hope you doing ok:) I have one more query, please. Like in 2015 and in 2018, as usual, I took my entitled annual 20 working days holiday plus 1/2 week extra I spent outside of UK along this holiday! but on those extra 1/2 weeks, I worked from distance with my employer's permission by this time as my work is mostly based online!
So my Question is in the absence letter, do I have to mention it separately! like 4 weeks annual leave + 1 week work from the distance or it will create confusion and just put authorised annual leave altogether!

Please kindly let me know.

Thanks

Your employer simply needs to give you a letter of approval for absences from the UK. No other details required

okay! Thanks but you have to provide the reason of absences on the form and the letter as well...so shall i breakdown the reason of absence ( ex: 4W annual holiday+ 1W work from distance) or what will be appropriate to write there please?

Dear Zimba and fellow experts,
Any suggestion what would be appropriate to write in the reason of absence section in forms and absence letter please .

Thanks

You are really overthinking this. The reason can be as simple as 'Holidays'.

Actually, I am a bit worried cause if it exceeds annual holiday limit ( 4 weeks) then they might make it in an issue if I don't give a proper reason as mine is 6 weeks in 2015 and 5 weeks in 2018 !!
or maybe I m stressed about the whole thing until I get ILR

So you think it should be fine if I just put it as 'Authorised holiday'???

Yes

My salary increased annually just 7% this month and it is updated via SMS...though it was not necessarily causing it was annual increment like every year! booked the PSC appointment as well...Interestingly HO emailed that they are going to visit our office to check files of T2 employees.. I am the only T2 employee now and the other 2 names they mentioned on the email to check files who have left the co 2 years back!

I am wondering what the reason behind that noticed visit! FYI our license will expire in few months to renew and our employer files are always updated by HR..any experts has any idea about it please?

So you meant that the 7% increase you received this year is not part of the annual increase? Were you the only one that received the increase?
Does everyone in the company receive the same % increase annually?
When previous Tier 2 employees left, did the company notify UKVI ?
Anything could have triggered the compliance visit. It is also possible that it was random.
Nothing to worry about as long as the company are doing their duties properly and have a good record of their sponsored worker.
If your appointment is before the compliance visit, you might be able to go ahead (not entirely sure) but if the appointment is after the compliance visit, then your application will not be decided until the outcome of the compliance visit is known.

when is your appointment and when is the visit?

One of the immigrants lawyer said, if I apply for tier 2 under a valid active license after complete successfully 5 years and after that if anything happens like licenses suspend or anything worse then they must provide ILR as it is not related to employee as he was legal and right on the time of application...not sure ..is this correct ?

[CR001]

No he is not correct. If you apply for ILR while the licence is suspended or revoked, your ILR will be held for further enquiries or refused.

No he is not correct. If you apply for ILR while the licence is suspended or revoked, your ILR will be held for further enquiries or refused.

Thanks I mean if i apply with an active license and then if HO holds my application for some reason and by that time if licence suspends or anything then! Hope i make it clear. I mean not applying with suspend status.

And another thing..is it possible to reschedule HO visit? as the email last day evening and wanna visit tuesday..Our CEO is packed up with meting and stuff so he cant give then whole daytime at the moment..cause he is dealing with SMS and stuff. I guess we can request them to reschedule the visit. any suggestion from experts please ?

[Casa]

I believe you can request for the visit to be re-scheduled, with one to two weeks being the maximum postponement permitted.

At the PSC appointment the Case Worker is likely to see on the system that a HO complicance visit is scheduled, which may well mean an ILR application will be held until the employer is cleared.

The Lawyer is not correct. Your sponsor must still be holding a valid licence when you apply for ILR.

You heard wrong. They all apply the immigration rules equally in the same way. Croydon has the senior caseworkers though. I have always used Croydon and never had any issues.

Hi! Hope you all are ok My question is If you have Home office compliance visit pending or if you had the visit but haven't got any feedback yet..then it would be wise to go for Premium service appointment or shall I wait until it gets clear! Experts, please give your valuable suggestion.

Kind Regards

If your are scheduled for a compliance visit or awaiting the result of a compliance visit, any application submitted will most likely be kept on hold until the outcome is known.

Thanks for your response Do you guys have any idea how long they took to give feedback after the visit?
