Visa application financial evidence

[no_hope2]

I have been notified today that my employer got the DCoS allocated and we are going to assign it to me today.

I reside outside of my country of Nationality, I checked that it is possible to apply for the SWV from outside my country of nationality (I have a work permit). I am afraid in case of refusal, or in case I return to my homeland that I can't apply for the visa since the country of residency has changed.

Does anyone know if changing the country of residency is possible after assigning the DCoS? is it possible to apply from a country other than the one mentioned in the DCoS and get your visa (add a cover letter to explain why applying from that country)?

I am afraid in case of refusal, or in case I return to my homeland that I can't apply for the visa since the country of residency has changed.

If you will be refused, wouldn't that mean that CoS is used already and employer will have to get a new one, so he can adjust the country?

[no_hope2]

I was not aware that could happen. Maybe I should've asked: "Does applying for a visa from another country than the one mentioned in the DCoS mean visa refusal?"

Let's figure out what you're asking about first and what you want to get out of it.

The expected process is that you apply from a country named in your CoS, afaik, which (I assume) you're planning to do, right? You have the CoS now.
If you do that, you would have to stay in the country until the decision is made or come back with your passport to have a visa placed in it (if you can purchase a "keep my passport ").
Result is success - you get your visa and off to the UK you go.
Result is refusal - your CoS is used on you, your employer creates new CoS where you can ask him to specify your current country of residence.

If you're planning to apply from a different country than indicated on your CoS straight away, that's a different story, as it's a discrepancy; I don't know if a sponsor note will cut it (I assume you're planning to keep your employer informed about the situation), other members will advise.

I do not have the CoS yet. I need to provide my details (including the country of residency) today. I will put my country of nationality and go back home to apply from there to eliminate the risk.

You can apply from country of nationality or another country where you are not a visitor.

[no_hope2]

Unfortunately, if I apply from another country other than my country of nationality, when granting the CoS I will have less than two months of residency left. I was advised not to do so since that is prone to get refused. I will go back to apply from my country of nationality.

Hello everyone,

We went through the step of assigning the DCoS to me last Friday. On the SMS platform, there is nothing that shows that we have gone through that step (application pending or anything). I am afraid we are looking in the wrong place. We check "View applications that are awaiting a decision > View applications that are currently pending or under review". I have checked the HO manual 12 of the sponsorship management system manuals but I found no clue how to track assigned applications.


Please note that we received a confirmation of successful payment by email.

This post is very confusing.

The queries started as a foreign prospective employee waiting for a CoS and now they turned to be from an employer with issues with the SMS system??

One of the moderators moved my last question to this section.

Greetings,

I noticed that on my Certificate of Sponsorship, there is a "Y" marked for the option "Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable)." As far as I understand, this indicates that my employer usually certifies to provide accommodation and support for the initial month. Do I still need to submit extra bank statements? Also, is it necessary for my employer to provide a cover/maintenance letter to be included in my visa application?

Stick to this post ONLY. Do not start new posts for every question on your CoS matter

And if you have dependants, you all can apply together without having to show any bank account statement.

Thank you for your answers. I am sorry to keep opening new threads. I have one more question. On the CoS, the option “Does the migrant need to leave and re-enter the UK during the time of approval” it is answered as Y. Does that mean my eligibility to travel back home after getting my visa approved during the sponsorship time, or to leave and re-enter the UK if I am inside the UK during the application time (which is not true of course). If it should be answered N, should I add a sponsor note to correct it, is it worth it ? Thanks in advance.

[CR001]

You are overthinking.

It should be Y for that question. This is related to travel after visa approved. Your sponsor will know what they are doing!!

Greetings everyone,

I am applying for SWV for me and my wife. I will apply from our country of nationality, while my wife will apply from Canada since she studies there. Is there any issue when applying from different countries, we have enough proof of our marital status, but we didn't have the chance to live together for a long period, and we intend to reunite in the UK. If anyone has a similar situation, please advise. Thanks.

Ordinarily should not be an issue. However there is the need to show that the relationship/marriage is still subsisting.
Copious evidence of this needs to be provided.

[Frontier Mole]

There is no need for copious amounts of evidence to prove the marriage is subsisting. If you were applying for a spouse visa, yes that would be the case. A simple cover letter stating she is studying in Canada and you are going moving to the U.K. to work and she will be joining you is enough. I assume she is finishing her studies before she joins you?

Hello everyone,
I am applying for SWV, and the salary mentioned in my CoS is above the annual going rate for my SOC. I suppose the going rates on the UKVI website do not include taxes. If the number in my CoS is above the number on the website I am safe, right?
One more thing, on the CoS the annual salary excludes allowances and bonuses, but when applying for the visa they ask to add any allowance or bonuses, should I contact my employer or put the salary on my CoS?

[Frontier Mole]

As long as the salary is at least £26,200 or above the going rate - whichever is higher then that will be ok.
This assumes it is not a shortage occupation or you are being treated under the new enterant rules.

Hello everyone,

1/ I had a visitor visa for the UK for 6 months, during that period I traveled to my home country twice. I am applying for a SWV visa and it asks me "How many times have you been to the UK in the past 10 years? ", I have answered 3 times, since I had three stamps on my passport at every entrance.


2/ Another question please: On the SWV application it asks for my addresses in the last two years, whilst during the last two years, I have stayed in different locations except for my main location, mainly for work and as long as 3 weeks. Should I mention these addresses (hotels, Airbnb's)? Also, should I deduct the time I have stayed abroad from my main residence duration?


3/ Please mind me, I overthink I know, for the question: "Where do you plan to stay in the UK?", I said I don't know where to stay and that my company will manage that since my sponsor agrees to provide maintenance, is that alright? or should we make a reservation and put some address? (a hotel, my company address) ?

No, that you stayed in hotels and AirBnBs does not make them your address, use your residence.

Thank you all so much for your replies.
One more question please, who pays the fees for the dependent visa (including the health surcharge), the main applicant or the dependant? I mean, does the dependant get the health surcharge fee with the application fee in the end of the application to pay, or it is calculated for the main applicant when he is applying?

The payment arrangement I.e. who pay what is for you to decide and not a matter for the forum to engage with.
On the other hand, fees and charges will be allocated as appropriate for each application.
