Hi, I was trying to find suitable SOC job code for my job and found that there are two sets of document for Occupation codes of practice for Tier 2. One is for Graduate level and other is for NVQ level 3. What is the difference anyways?? I compared these two documents and couldn't make out much dif...

I am on a psw visa now and it expires in august. what do you reckon my chances are? What is the minimum number of hours required for work permit? the guidance mentions that it awards points for maximum of 48 hours, however it doesn't say any anything about the minimum hours they would consider for ...

And what is your current visa status?

Dear friends, I need some valuable suggestions regarding pro rata salary. i am currently working with a company for 30 hours a week and earning enough to meet the requirements of a graduate occupation list code, only if my salary is prorata. I went to one of the solicitor and he said that i am elig...

Can you show the link within the statistics site for the SOC codes Hi Sheffield, http://www.statistics.gov.uk/methods_quality/ns_sec/downloads/SOC2000_Vol2_V6.pdf and this link / document is provided by the UKBA here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/poin...

You will need to satisfy the salary requirements expected of your designation. As you are a marketing assistant, the job title suitably closer to yours is Marketing associate professionals - code 3543 from here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbase...

I don't believe so, but could be proven wrong?

Thanks,

Sushmehta, would you know if it is only possible to select from one of the job titles that are listed under 'related job titles' on the UKBA SOC Code list, or can a job title from the Statistics Website be selected if it has the same SOC Code as listed on the UKBA list? OP, you are the best person t...

For instance, if using the SOC Code ‘1231 Property, housing and land managers’, can a sponsor only conduct a RLMT and sponsor a migrant from one of the ‘Related Job Titles’ as stated on the UKBA list, in this case either a Housing, Property or Chopping Centre Manager, or is it acceptable to ...

or maybe it is easier to answer when asked like this... If the SOC CODE for my job title is on the UKBA graduate level job list, but is not specifically mentioned under 'Related Job Titles' on that same list, does the job still qualify for Tier 2? Regards J Hopefully someone here can advise on this:...

Hopefully someone here can advise on this: Is the Tier 2 limited only to jobs listed under 'Related Job Titles' on the UKBA's SOC list for jobs at graduate level? Or should one refer back to the Statistics website and select a job title with the same SOC CODE? The reason I ask, shouldn't the job tit...

I checked that but I am not a reception manager.I am 2 level below.They have mentioned £17000 for reception manager and I am earning £15600 as a receptionist and I am getting paid £7.5 hourly and in the link I copied early it says £7.2 for receptionist (CODE 4216).Any thoughts on that Paperpush...

Hello thanks for your reply.I have checked that already and my job title is not there.In the list is all the managers and there is no mentioning of receptionist job.The link I copied is where I found my job title along with the hourly rate.My main concern is to find out the hourly rate for RECEPTIO...

I'm from New Zealand & have been offered a job in London. The job is mine. The company I am working for is willing to do the whole sponsorship thing. I should be able to help point you in the right direction, but just need a bit more info… So your employer operates both in NZ and the UK? And ...

please update.

with 5400 cos available, I wonder if anyone would be missing out this month? Anyone with news or indication of when employers will be notified of success or rejection?

Do we know when the UKBA will be allocating restricted COS for April? Have any COS already been allocated? Also, whether any have been allocated yet or not, it would be interesteing to get some sort of indication on how many requests for COS are missing out and to what level i.e. the demand being gr...

Thanks very much for your response. I understand where you r coming from.
But, the changes don't specify clearly if these apply to the ICTs issues pre 06 Apr, 11.

Why would it need to specify that? It is what it is isn't it?
