Some points to consider when looking at RLMT In your case switching from tier 4 dependent to tier 2 general. Restricted COS yes, my case in the restricted category. There are three stages ... I am not sure on this. All I know is my company is already a Tier 2 sponsor before my case (they have appli...

Just an update: got the letter of approval from home office on 15 th and got the brp this morning. Tier 2 general, 3 year until sept 2019. Also I checked with my company couple of days ago and they told me they hadn't been contacted by home office regarding my application.

Sure, i will update.

Exactly, you have therefore been 'pre-selected' for the role. ok i am pre selected but i guess it's not practical for my company to fire me first then run the rlmt. I think the policy doesn't cover every case and it's impossible to do so. Anyway, it's up to the home office to decide. Finger crossed.

2 years work experience in IT is not so unique. Hard to believe you are only candidate in Europe who can fulfill such a role. And familiarity with the company and its idisoyncracies and workflows etc are not valid factors. Nor are factors such as probation, training and you knowing where the coffee...

Tier 2 does not exist to deliver your dream job to you at the exclusion of every other willing, able and qualified/experienced candidate in the whole of UK and EU. This demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the Tier 2 route and is the road to sponsor license revocation. No, my company didn...

A Quick question to nz6666 When the CoS was assigned then did you company show the RLMT they conducted. Do the Home Office check at the RLMT again at the time of candidate application. I don't know what exactly my company did, what I know is they put out an Ad for a while and been contacted by home...

How many applicants were there and how many interviewed? Its not as simple as placing an ad, ignoring everyone and giving you the job. They put very high requirement in the Ad so that no body dare to apply. They told me they didn't receive any applications. Actually applying for cos got refused sev...

yes they put out the job ad for a month, before getting me the cos. Isn't this the prerequisite for cos? I thought getting cos is the most difficult part, no?

My company and I have spent many months and after couple of tries and finally secured a cos for me. I am switching from tier 4 dependant to tier 2 general. I have been working in the company 2 years as tier 4 dependant before switching. The application for tier 2 has been submitted one and a half mo...

Hi, I just got my CoS from my company and now in the process to apply for Tier 2 visa. One of the document required is police registration. A little bit of background: I came into UK on 2011 as Tier 4 dependant (wife is the Tier 4 student). Since then my wife finished her undergraduate (last 2 years...

@paradoxical thanks

Never mind, my employer told me they applied a 3 year for me. God I wish I had told them to get a 3 year or more (I thought it's 5 years). They explained to me they thought it would be harder to get a 3 year or more.

Btw, there is only Expire date (use by) December 2016.

Hi, I just got cos from my employer, in filling the application form for Tier 2, in the 'What is the length of your CoS?' The options are 3 years or less, and more than 3 years. Wondering what to choose? Is this determined by the CoS already or is something that I can choose and pay different fees? ...

Ok, I found the answers to my questions. These are the work for my company.

Hi gag285, thanks for the reply. I have read the same on home office web site. It's shocking the HR told me otherwise. Can I ask what is 'RLMT completed and restricted COS issued'? How is your application going on? Can you introduce the normal process of the application, i.e firstly company do somet...

Hi, I am currently on Tier 4 dependent visa and working in UK. My wife is a student (Tier 4). I am thinking switching to Tier 2 general. My employer is on the Tier 2 sponsor list. My boss has agreed to do so. But HR told me in order to apply this I have to leave UK and apply from outside UK. Is this...
