Good evening

Thanks to all the contributors in the house.

Please I would like to know if there is a separate thread for tier 2 visa?

If I'm applying for a tier 2 dependant visa, mist the dependant be my blood relation. I have a distant relative, a half orphan living with me and my family. I would like to add her to my dependant in my application for tier 2 visa. What documents do I need to submit for her.

Thanks so much for this info. I'm thinking of applying for d visa this month. considering wat i've read on this thread, is it compulsory for one to also have a large sum of money in one's account before the UK work visa can be approved?

I just started working this month, so I'm sceptical about d visa issue, mayb it will b approved or not cos I don't just want to waste the little cash I have. Pls I need your advice on this.

Hello, Vicjustice. I want to find out how long the process takes for an accredited UK sponsoring company to get a Tier 2 visa for a non UK-based person from start to finish... Thanks

worry357:


If you have a job offer that meets the requirements then the company will advise you as they will have done this before.

gonon:


Thanks but i want to know how long the process takes, I want to have some money with me before leaving....

How are you going to travel?
You need the visa before you can leave.

Ralphlauren & justwise.
Thanks for putting that right. You guys live in the UK.
I am actually aware of the rules, and to be honest, i'm more familiar with the short terms visas, and i must admit that i was of the opinion that (like the privileges associated with Irish long-term visas) the 10 years visa also go with special privileges. My bad...

finally went to pick up our passports today, and we al got it.
off point but let me share
I had a mini heart attack when i opened the passport and didn't see the visa at the back as usual, I scattered the whole file looking for the refusal letter. When i dint find it, I had to go back to flipping pages.

gonon:


I know i need a visa. I am asking how long the whole process takes, from resident labour market test to certificate of sponsorship and visa. Thanks for your contribution.

OGreene:
Ok.

Vicjustice:

The document that gives you (or your family) the legal authority to be his/her guardian, also that indicates legal custodian rights

justicia:
@Vicjustice and OGreene, thanx for your response. @OGreene, I have searched several pages back and I didn't see person u talked about. Could you pls just point me to where I can find a list of documents needed for a Visitor's Visa to the UK. I'll appreciate it. Thanks a millie in advance!

Oga vicjustice there is no document o. The mother can't send her to school so I took over her upbringing. No documents. If I need documents what type of documents r they?

Is there a dedicated tier 2 visa thread?

Vicjustice:

If there is no official document that recognizes her as your dependant, then, she is not your dependant and therefore, you are not eligible to apply for her visa or to take her abroad.

hello people please help me out with this uk visa

my first uk visa application with my baby was refused as the embassy could not reach the person that invited us & inadequate funding.
hubby has travelled to few places and has expired uk visa. we all want to reapply with him as sponsor and using hotel booking

he has a N400k transfer that came into his account in april which he also transferred to another person. because uk is money focused, how do we explain this 400k in our application. we intend applying end august

who knows what category of people go for interviews in uk embassy. my last refusal was sept 2014. will they call us for interview?

note: hubby never had a rejection any time and has been to few other countries. his will be a renewal

i will apprieciate your candid response

iblaw:


Lol

Congrats

My was last friday, as i got the envelope i just opened and pulled out my passport and saw the visa. I could hear my heart beat

Unfortunately if you do not hold a current job offer from a UK company that is able to sponsor you (there is a list of accredited sponsors) you cannot apply. Its a points based system 30 points for the certificate 10 points for having £970 maintenance 10 points for english and 20 points for a salary over £21,000.

So has a uk company offered you a job? If the answer is no. You are not eligible

Vicjustice:
Should Justwise do the hard work for you while you lay back on a recliner chair?
After applying for a visa on two occasions, you're now asking how to go about a visa application?

OGreene:
You shud even start by stating the exact reasons for d refusals, what has changed since then?
Then whats ur income like, are u going wt wife and kid or....? Bcoz of d financial burden.
I really feel for you, you MUST get ur application right this time. Reading this thread is an eye-opener too.

justwise:


Why were you refused on those two occasions?

femology:
No, I've not been offered a job yet. I was told by my friend that I should apply for the visa first and that in the process of filling d visa form, I'll be asked for the company then I'll give details. She said its the visa form they'll now use to connect me wit the company.
I want to know how true this Is or will i have to get the job offer first b4 I can apply for d visa.
