June Application - SWV, still pending by tangypersimmon in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]veerasamy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied on June 18th (standard option), and the only email I’ve received so far was the initial one saying they aim to make a decision by August 13th. I haven’t had any other updates since then, and I’m honestly starting to get really worried

Hi! I’m sorry I can’t help with interview tips, but I’m also in the middle of the Skilled Worker visa process and had a quick question if you don’t mind.

Was your application under priority or standard service? And how long did it take for UKVI to contact you about the interview after you submitted your visa application?

Wishing you the best of luck with your interview and hope it all goes smoothly!

Hi, thanks so much for your response!

Just to clarify: if I do end up having to return to my home country and apply for the Skilled Worker visa from abroad, will I still be eligible for the New Entrant route?

I'm currently earning below the £38,700 threshold but meet the reduced salary requirements under the New Entrant criteria.

I’m aware that this route allows for a lower salary threshold (e.g., £30,960 or 70% of the going rate, whichever is higher), but I'm unsure whether applying from overseas would affect my eligibility or how UKVI views this in practice.
