Chris28 is an employee of UKBA

HOW VERY DARE YOU Not worked there for 7+ years

he has clearly stated, the stipulations required for Chase to move to Hull FC.

The conviction in 2011, has no bearing ,IF it was, he would be not allowed back in the country in 2011 after his court case.

The conviction is relevant, and will be a factor in any visa change. My view (albeit not in possession of the full facts) is that he had a visa for the UK, went home for a court case and was convicted. When he returned, the conviction would/should have been mentioned to the immigration officer at the airport as a significant change of circumstances potentially affecting the visa. He was then clearly admitted to the UK, so it would be perverse for UKBA to refuse now on that basis. Of course if the conviction wasn't mentioned when he came back....

The only thing Chase needs to do, is to amend his change of employer to Hull FC.

Also,he could state changes in his application, eg He is now a parent of a UK citizen, (coupled with the child's mother is also a UK citizen.), no Government would deny a working visa, to a parent who has a UK born child.

Its possible, to get a same day service for a fee, but that is purely dependant , if the UKBA office has available appointments .

I know someone who can help with appointments

IMO- It will just take time - no dramas.

could the loan signing be to replace crooks Who's out injured?

The only difference between Ryan McGoldrick and Rangi Chase's visa amendment is 'timing'

When Hull FC made an application for the 'Premium Service' for Ryan McGoldrick,the only UKBA office which had available appointments for that week was in London.

Maybe there are no available appointments this week, there are only 7 offices in the UK which can offer same day service, its not easy to get a 'Premium Service',as i have had experience in this matter.

If we do sign chase on loan until the end of the season could he come on his current visa and allow us to work out any details during the close season for a permanent signing?

It's Chase, we're putting Horne on the wing. He's an international there, you know!

It seems even straightforward visa changes can take an inordinate amount of time. We were strongly linked with the ex Wakey lad Bronco's signed but was over their quota so couldn't play him. After they reached a deal there was interest from us in taking him for the rest of the season (sorry cant just recall his name).

Anyway after going public that we were looking to sign him and had agreed terms (he was supposedly staying with Phelps as they were best mates or something), it was then announced he was going back to Oz because of the time it would take for his visa to come through.

Now it could of course have been a smoke screen and he just wanted to get back to Oz with his severance deal, if there were no guarantees after this season.

So it makes sense for Hull to be cautious until everything is sorted.
