      Yes, You are absolutely right; as per guidance
      You’ll usually need to show proof of this when you apply, unless either:
      you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months
      your employer can cover your costs during your first month in the UK, up to £1,270

    Question is : if you have stayed outside UK in past 2 years / or travel outside UK?
    What option will you choose if you are living in uk for 3 years but go to visit your country once a year for a month?

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  10 дней назад

      If you've been living in the UK for 3 years but have traveled outside the country once a year for a month, you should select the option that indicates you have traveled outside the UK in the past 2 years. Travel History will reflect the reason, you can also write in the cover letter that you travelled to meet family but your current residence is UK.

    Hello Sir,
    when i am filling application, its asking
    Use your partner's passport to complete this section. If you cannot provide your partner's current and valid passport as part of this application, select 'No'."
    if i choose YES, at the end its asking
    Here, are they asking physical passport or soft copy?
    my wife is in india.
    please let me know which option i need to choose?
    thank you

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  7 месяцев назад +1

      In the Skilled Worker visa application where it asks for your partner's passport information, they are referring to the physical passport and not a soft copy.
      Visa applications often involve verifying the authenticity of documents. This is difficult to do with a soft copy.
      Biometric information, such as passport photos and fingerprints, are linked to physical passports and used for identity verification during the application process.
      Since your wife is in India and doesn't have her passport with you in London, you should select "No". This won't prevent her from applying as a dependent on your Skilled Worker visa.
      You can proceed with the application using your own documents and proof of your relationship with your wife.
      The UK government website (www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/your-partner-and-children) outlines the evidence required to demonstrate a genuine relationship. This could include things like marriage certificates, joint bank statements, or cohabitation documents.
      Your wife will likely need to submit her passport details and a copy of the biodata page at a later stage, possibly during a biometric appointment in India.

    Hi , thank you for the video
    i have few questions
    1. does the migrant need to leave and re-enter the UK during the period of approval? my current employer answered it as Y, and when I questioned this, they said it's what they usually do and that's for me to travel outside the UK during the period of the visa. I already got the visa and I had travelled outside as well. now my new employer has answered it N and I have asked to change it to Y. now watching this video, I'm not sure which one's correct?
    2. at what stage do I know I can apply for a priority visa? is it after I have paid the IHS fees?
    3. at what stage is the application considered as submitted because my 3 months within joining date will not start in another 3 weeks. But I would like to know if I will be able to apply for priority option now itself.

      The time you will select biometric, you will see the option for biometric, after the ihs and visa application fees.
      The intend to travel date has to be before you work start date. If you mention this question in dates then it will be more clear for me to answer.

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  10 месяцев назад

      Main sponsor: Check the conditions imposed by your specific visa sponsorship. Some employers explicitly restrict additional work, while others might allow it under certain limitations.
      Visa category: Your specific Skilled Worker visa category might have regulations regarding additional work. For example, the Global Talent visa allows additional work, while others might not. In reality, many applicant do that to make extra money. Any deep inside details if you need then email me directly at dr_khan@consultant.com and I can guide privately.

    Hi, if the COS is issued for 5years can the employee still apply for 3years visa first and extend it later?

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  4 месяца назад

      Yes, if your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is issued for 5 years, you can initially apply for a 3-year visa and extend it later. This approach is often used to manage the initial costs associated with the visa application fee and the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) for a shorter term.
      When you decide to extend your visa, you will need to apply for an extension before your current visa expires. Your employer will need to issue a new CoS for the extension. But personally, I will say just go with 5 year, cuz you don't know what may change with sponsor.

    Hi, can I please know if you were asked to attend a face to face appointment to provide biometric information if you have provided your BRP number during the application process?
    I had BRP when I was a student, but I was on eVisa for the graduate visa. So, I selected the option which indicated that I did not have a BRP for my most recent leave during the application, is this a correct option? And now, I am asked to book a biometric information collection appointment, is that normal too?

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  Месяц назад

      Yes, it is normal to be asked to attend a biometric information collection appointment even if you have provided your BRP number during the application process.
      The reason for this is that the UK government may need to verify your identity and eligibility for the visa. This can be done through a biometric appointment, where your fingerprints and facial image will be scanned.
      If you had a BRP for your student visa but were on an eVisa for your graduate visa, it is correct to select the option indicating that you did not have a BRP for your most recent leave. This is because your eVisa was a separate visa application and may not be linked to your previous BRP.
      Therefore, it is not unusual to be required to attend a biometric appointment even if you have previously held a BRP.

      You likely don't need to provide bank statements in this case. The UK government website states that you and your dependents don't need to show funds if you have been living in the UK for 12 months or more with permission on the date of application GOV.UK.
      Since you've been residing in the UK for 2.5 years, you meet the 12-month requirement. However, it's always recommended to provide in order to proof that you not claiming any public funds and everything is transparent. Decision is yours!!!

Since, it was only 3 months ago so you cant just ignore this small detail. Also, would like to share experience of Mr X, who use to work one full time job and one part time job, but when he applied for Uni he mentioned only about the Part Time Job but when he applied for Health Care worker Visa, he mentioned about his Day Time Carer Job and also mentioned about the part time job.

      Your husband is currently on a 3-year Skilled Worker visa in the UK (expires next year).
      You and your 2 children are in the UK on dependent visas linked to your husband's visa.
      You've obtained a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) for a Skilled Worker visa.
      Your family's dependent visas are not automatically affected by you switching to a Skilled Worker visa. Their visas will remain valid until their original expiry date. You don't necessarily need to update the family linking code immediately.
      However, if you update then it ensures your family's applications are linked to your new visa status if they apply for their visas after yours is granted. Hope that helps...

      Yes, the Aadhaar card number is considered the de facto national identity number of India. While there is no officially declared "national identity number" in the country, the Aadhaar card, issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), serves as a unique identification number for all Indian residents. It is a 12-digit number linked to an individual's biometric and demographic data, including fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs. You can also use Passport as ID too, which one best ? Best is use both for the Home Office.

      Yes, a Skilled Worker visa can be issued for as little as one year even though the maximum validity period is 5 years. our employer, acting as your sponsor, specifies the contract duration (1 year in this case) on the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) they issue you.

    I am switching to Tier 2 visa. My dependents is not applying now, they are doing only after 5 months, as they got a valid visa now. . In section of family linking code if i type yes, it says my application may not be decided until all family members who are applying to come UK have applied. So will affect time frame of my decision

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  8 месяцев назад

      You're right, there can be a potential delay in your Tier 2 Skilled Worker visa application if you answer "yes" to the family linking code section and your dependents plan to apply later. Here's why:
      Family Linking Code: When you answer "yes" to the family linking code, it indicates you have dependents intending to join you in the UK. The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) may want to assess your application alongside your dependents' applications to ensure everything aligns (relationship, finances etc.).
      Possible Delays:Waiting for Dependent Applications: If your dependents don't apply within a reasonable timeframe after yours, UKVI might delay your decision until they receive their applications. This is to ensure a complete picture of your situation.
      What You Can Do:
      Consider Applying Together: If possible, it might be faster for everyone to apply at the same time. This streamlines the process for UKVI.
      Explain the Situation: If applying together isn't an option, you can explain the situation in the cover letter of your application. Mention your dependents will apply in 5 months and provide a valid reason for the delay (e.g., utilizing existing visa, finishing school term). Hope this helps.

      You're absolutely right! The current beta version of the UKVI website does not currently allow submitting a joint application for a Skilled Worker visa and its dependents. This means you cannot pay for and submit both applications simultaneously as you could with the older website. Yes, the main can apply for priority and dependent can apply as normal, since they all separate fees and applications.

    Hii…for the maintenance part in the COS if me being the applicant within UK I understand that i do not need bank statement but in the end section it also says in bracket for dependents so does that mean if my partner comes to uk later she needs to show my bank statement as she will be coming as my dependent or she does not need to provide my bank statements?

    • @UKknowledgeGuru
      @UKknowledgeGuru  10 месяцев назад

      It's true that the UK immigration maintenance requirements can be confusing, especially when it comes to dependents. If your CoS says "y" in the financial section then your dependent don't need to show the financial stability. Here's the breakdown for your situation:
      You (the applicant within the UK):
      You generally do not need to provide your bank statements if you are already living in the UK and applying for your partner's visa as a dependent. This is because you have established financial stability within the UK.
      However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. For example, if you have been recently unemployed or your income has changed significantly, you may still be required to submit your bank statements to demonstrate your financial ability to support both yourself and your partner.
      Your partner (the dependent):
      Your partner may need to provide your bank statements as part of their visa application, even though you are already in the UK. This is because the immigration authorities want to ensure that you have sufficient funds to support both of you financially.
      The need for your partner to provide your bank statements depends on several factors, such as:
      Your combined income: If your joint income meets the maintenance requirement, your partner's bank statements may not be required.
      Your partner's financial situation: If your partner has their own income and savings, they may not need to rely on your bank statements.

      Applying for a Skilled Worker visa inside the UK with two months of passport validity is a complex situation with potential risks and benefits.
      Possible rejection: According to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) guidelines, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended date of your stay in the UK. Applying with only two months remaining could lead to your application being rejected. At this time I would say phone UKBA and ask if its possible as you are inside the UK.

      It's important to use the correct code for your specific job. Withdrawing and reapplying with the right code seems like the recommended course.
      They will refund but refund will take time, just pay from separate funds you have and you will get refund if you withdraw application
      If you apply before CoS it won't effect the Visa, but explain in the cover letter for Visa Officer. If you apply after CoS is expired then there will be an issue. Another option is Explain the situation to Employer and ask if they can extend the CoS. This is the ideal scenario.

      The higher salary of £38,700 is the one that should be mentioned in your Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) and your Skilled Worker visa application (updating visa)
      As of April 4, 2024, the minimum general salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas increased to £38,700 per year.
      Your Situation:
      You are applying for a new Skilled Worker visa, not an extension of your previous one. New applications fall under the latest regulations, so the £38,700 threshold applies.
      There are a few exceptions where a lower salary might be considered:
      Immigration Salary List: If your occupation is on the list (www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list), you might qualify for a lower salary (80% of the standard rate). However, this is unlikely as the list is mainly for health and care worker visas.
      This system allows for a lower salary if you have certain qualifications or experience that give you points, you didn't mention much about it so I can't comment but you can check on the link I shared. However, this is a complex system and likely not relevant in your case. Hope this helps...

      Yes, you can take your husband with you if you apply for a Skilled Worker visa in the UK. Your husband can apply to join you or stay in the UK as your ‘dependant’ if he’s eligible. What is your Job Code ?

      Yes sure, I have created a Free Guidance in which I have discussed everything. If you watch it 2-3 times and ask your wife to watch it too then you can apply easily without any solicitor. Does your CoS says Financial Requirement Yes ? Here is the guide ruclips.net/video/8d6SbYyc1o0/видео.html

      Finance Administrator (Occupation code 4129) typically wouldn't qualify for that exemption.
