I submitted all the paperwork etc which they requested and they then call me on friday to say that my initial application has been declined because they suddenly need this other piece of paperwork which they have never ever mentioned or requested previously.
So there you have it, I have to return back to London to try and obtain this paperwork somehow and try again. So from beginning to end this is probably going to take me 4 months or so to get resolved.

Try and se if you can chase it up yourself, be a bit more forceful and mention to them your exact current situation as its a matter of urgency, Your employer may just be calling them once a week and just saying ' whats the status of the application' and immigration are just saying we're busy. and its left at that.
Also immigration may be able to tell you more information, As its possible that the delays are due to your employers end i.e submitting wrong forms or not enough information on the application etc etc. |
May I ask what kind of paperwork was missing? I recently filled out the employment visa application but didn't really have many supporting documents; I included my resume/CV with name cards from my previous employers as proof of employment, and my university diploma as proof of education. That's it. What are some factors that are the pitfalls to getting approved? What are some common mistakes/missing documents that prevent someone from obtaining this visa?
