Thank you, It helps a great deals.

Hi guys, please i would like to know from experience has anyone applied for the post graduate visa on different dates as their dependents and was given? some one told me that if you apply at different times it would be refused, but there is no such thing on the gov.uk website. I mean a family of 4 for example, main applicant and spouse appplies in march and children apply in april all their visas are expiring in may, does it mean they would be refused? It dosent make any sense to me since the applications are done seperately. i just need to confirm from someone who has done it before.

Thank goodness you took the time out to straighten your position even when it was explicit from the first write up.

If I find myself in your position, I would do exactly the same - ask them again and possibly offer to foot the bill of the whole process, AFTER ENSURING THEY DON’T WANT TO FOOT THE BILL.

We would try this. Thanks for your response

If it's IHS you mean, then that compulsory except for health and social care workers to the best of my knowledge.

All the best to your family.

Okay. I appreciate your response

You should have that conversation with them then.

As to the bolded, that is the law - there are no ifs or buts. Even as tier 2(skilled worker), you'll pay the IHS regardless of whether your company provides private healthcare.

Exceptions are if you're on a healthcare worker visa in which case you won't pay at all* or if you or your spouse works for the NHS, in which case you can claim a refund later.

*not sure about this bit.

okay. Thank you so much for your response.

If you do pay for COS, keep it between you and your husband at all times and not my even a best friend.
It's not legal to pay for your COS, and recently this is being used against many Africans who are getting their visas revoked. Its interesting how people report issues that they have not interest in

Thank you so much or your response, we do not intend to pay for the COS but to request for it and pay for the visa application fees and NHS or any other fees involved. We believe that their reason for saying they wouldn't be sponsoring for the role is the financial aspect, because they are a global company and are one of those that sponsor skilled workers from other countries. Another concern is why do I need to pay for NHS during PGW visa application when my company provides me with private healthcare?

It's not legal to pay for COS to be issued.

Still, nothing stops you from having a discussion where you explain why you want the COS as opposed to continuing with PGW visa, and then seeing if there's something that can be done on both ends e.g. a bond where you promise to pay back the money spent on the COS if you leave within a certain period.

The key thing is to approach the a manager you have a good relationship with and convince them, so they then take it up. It doesn't cost much so there shouldn't be an issue since they already have the license, ceteris parebus. Make it clear you're paying for your own visa/maintenance etc, but offering to pay for the COS itself to be issued is not something you should put down formally, like in an email.

Hello guys, thanks for being solution providers on this platform. please I am a student and my husband who is my defendant got a job with a company that sponsor tier 2 visa, but they stated during the interview process that they wont be sponsoring for his role as its not a senior role but would only provide documentation when he wants to renew or apply for postgraduate visa. Our visa is expiring next year and we are thinking of asking the company to provide us with COS while we bear the financial burden of the process, but we are skeptical as we do not know if it is okay to make such request. I just need advice your and opinions, is there anyone that has done this before? Is it a possibility?

hello people. please i need some answers. when we first got into the uk, we paid our rent 6 months upfront and signed a 6 months tenancy agreement. its one and half month to its expiration and our agent is asking for another upfront payment or we meet the earning criteria for renting the house. My hubby got a job that meets the criteria but would resume within this month, we communicated this to the agent and they are saying we wouldn't pass the referencing because he would still be on probationary period, mind you it is a permanent job that meets the earning criteria. Are they correct? They are now asking for a uk guarantor which we don't have. please does anyone know how we can handle this situation? is there anyway we can rent a guarantor? or should we insist that they go ahead with the referencing when my hubby resumes. i am really confused as we don't have 6 months upfront to pay again and we have no guarantor.

Hello house, please I am new here and I would like to commend the effort you guys put in attending to peoples questions, God bless you all.
Please I would be glad if I can get some advice, I have a law degree and I am looking to do a masters programme in the UK, I have an option of llm oil and gas and MSC financial management in terms of prospects in the UK and international job market which would be advisable to go for.
