Hi, I am on Tier 2 General Visa at the moment (Switched from Tier 1 PSW). My SOC code is 2137 holding the Job title 'Web Designer'. My salary stated on COS is £26040 including allowances. My employer has reduced my salary/allowances and will be paid £20540 after reduction. I would like to know the e...

Thank you very much for your prompt reply Manci and also Safatafa.

I will be applying tomorrow.

Hi I am on PSW at the moment. It is expiring on 30th June 2013. My employer is ready to sponsor me and has an allocation to assign me a COS. Should the start date on the COS be 1st July 2013 or can it be earlier, say 1st May 2013. Will it affect my visa application in any sort if I submit it in the ...

Hi arun, I am about to apply as well. My employer is maintaining funds and has mentioned this on the COS. Even the guidance says that 'just a tick' in the COS is enough. Apart from that, it does not specify to submit a letter from employer or any kind of sponsor note. Please suggest if you have any ...

Hi huzefa,

I am in the same situation. My employers requested an allocation on 26th March 2013 and I was planning to apply the visa before 6th April 2013. He then made an urgent request via email. Have not heard yet.

Did you get your COS allocated? what's your status now?

thanks..

hi mustuk,
Can i know your SOC code and job title? Did you submit your application? I need some help from you. Please reply..Thanks in advance.

hi alekss88, amankahlon I am in the same situation. What dates did your employer mention in the end? Also I have few other questions: 1. What SOC code do you fall under and what is your job title? 2. How long did it take to get an Unrestricted COS approved? Was it as soon as your employer assigned o...

Sorry, my previous post was to 'amankahlon'

hi aleks888

Anyone switching from Tier 1 PSW to Tier 2 General are eligible for an Unrestricted COS, though it is their initial application.

Hi tikejhya

Firstly you are exempt from RLMT if you are currently on Tier 1 PSW and switching to Tier 2 General. You need an unrestricted COS from your sponsor. May I know when is your current visa expiring and what SOC code are you mentioning on your COS?

Hi Mustuk,

Firstly, your working hours should be minimum 37.5. You cannot apply if you work less than 37.5 hrs. You should convince your employer to increase your working hours to match the appropriate salary. You do not need to submit your payslips.

Hi Jeevojay, your salary has to be 26k for 37.5 hrs minimum. You cannot mention a salary figure less than that to the job title you have mentioned. Else it will be mistaken for another job title which is 25k. Hence, the job title/salary and hours should be at or above nqf level 6/26k and 37.5 hrs re...
