Overview

At our firm, located in Preston, UK, our solicitors specialize in providing expert legal assistance for immigration services. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the complexities of the Skilled Worker Visa application process, ensuring a smooth and successful experience.

What is a Skilled Worker Visa?

The Skilled Worker Visa allows individuals from outside the UK to come and work with an approved UK employer in an eligible job. This visa is part of the UK’s points-based immigration system, designed to attract skilled professionals to contribute to the UK economy.

Basic Criteria

To be eligible for a Skilled Worker Visa, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Job Offer: You must have a confirmed job offer from a Home Office-approved UK employer.
  • Eligible Occupation: The job must be on the list of eligible occupations.
  • Salary Threshold: The job offer must meet the minimum salary threshold, which is typically £25,600 per year or the ‘going rate’ for the job, whichever is higher.
  • English Proficiency: You must demonstrate proficiency in English, usually by passing an approved English language test or holding a degree taught in English.
  • Sponsorship Certificate: You must have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from your employer.

Detailed Application Process

  1. Eligibility Assessment
    • Initial consultation to assess your eligibility.
    • Review of job offer and employer’s sponsorship status.
  2. Document Preparation
    • Assistance with gathering required documents (proof of job offer, salary details, English proficiency, etc.).
    • Guidance on obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship from your employer.
  3. Application Submission
    • Help with completing the visa application form accurately.
    • Submission of the application to the Home Office.
    • Payment of applicable fees.
  4. Follow-Up and Compliance
    • Monitoring the status of your application.
    • Assistance with any queries or additional information requests from the Home Office.
    • Guidance on complying with visa conditions once granted.

Processing Time

The processing time for a Skilled Worker Visa application is typically around 8 weeks from the date of submission. However, it can vary based on individual circumstances and the completeness of your application. During the waiting period, you can expect:

  • Acknowledgment: Confirmation of application receipt.
  • Assessment: Evaluation of your application and documents by the Home Office.
  • Decision: Notification of the visa decision.

FAQs

The processing time for a Skilled Worker Visa application is typically around 8 weeks from the date of submission. However, it can vary based on individual circumstances and the completeness of your application.
Yes, you can bring your spouse or partner and children as dependents on your Skilled Worker Visa. Each family member will need to apply for a dependent visa and meet certain requirements.
If your job offer is withdrawn before your visa is approved, your application will likely be refused. If your job offer is withdrawn after your visa is granted, you must inform the Home Office and may need to find a new sponsor or leave the UK.
You can switch jobs while on a Skilled Worker Visa, but you must obtain a new Certificate of Sponsorship from your new employer and apply for a visa update. The new job must also meet the eligibility criteria for the Skilled Worker Visa.
