If the employer didn't see the original visa prior to employing this person they should have used the Employer Checking Service (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/ecs/requestform) to get confirmation of right to work. Failing to do so may be seen as an indication that th...

No - that wording is really about extensions. You can switch at any time prior to your visa expiring, a start can be entered accordingly.

Contracting is not allowed to happen under the CURRENT rules - which might be why your sponsors name has been removed from the list. They are 'mistaken' (or lying) about the reason for removal - sponsors applying for premium status don't get removed from the list.

The wording in the Immigration Rules is 'in the same profession and at the same professional level'. So it's the job you do, not the type of company you do it.

You might want to check that it is just a name change - if they have created a new legal entity then they'll probably need to get a new licence.

Re: Tier 2 sponcer liecense urgent help

When applying for the license online, there's a question about how many CoS is needed, so they should not ask this again, It's quite normal for them to ask, nothing to worry about. The form just has a box for a number but they want to know reasons and to check the sponsor is wanting unrestricted cos.

3C(4) of the 1971 act would seem to suggest that you need to withdraw the appeal before you can apply.

Your understanding is right - I think UKBA have made a mistake in assuming the company requesting information is the same one that assigned the CoS.

That wording (sent to your employer by the Employer Checking Service I presume) implies the UKBA still think your appeal is ongoing and that you can work on the terms of the visa you held on the day your applied.

Your employer may not have any certificates left, in which case they would have to ask UKBA for some more and give a basic justification of what they want them for. This can take 2-3 weeks but is usually just a few days. Or, they may have already assigned the certificate but are unfamiliar with how ...

You can hold two CAS but not two CoS - the system doesn't allow a second one to be assigned if there is already a CoS with a status of 'Assigned'. After 3 months, or when it is used as part of an application, a further CoS can be assigned.

Sounds like the case has been rejected. The typical reason is that a mandatory document was not received by UKBA. They write out and ask for more if a non-mandatory document is missing but reject and return everything where a mandatory document hasn't been provided. Ask the employer to call 0300 123...

That's there for those that came into Tier 2 when NQF Level 3 was permitted, they can still extend / change employer despite the bar being raised for new applicants.

There isn't another SOC code for that job, so you only qualify if you meet the Shortage Occupation List criteria.

This will be fine. The 'family name' field on the CoS is mandatory, so they'd have to have filled it with something anyway.
