could you confirm have u applied as new entrant or exp.

i applied for tier 2 in nov-2012 at that time there are no new entrant or experienced worker.

you just have to use relevant soc2000 code.

Hi All, I would like to share some good news after 6 months of struggle...Hope this help someone in this forum.. 1. Previous Visa PSW (Expired on 13/Dec/2012) 2. CoS assigned by employer on 19/Nov/2012 with SOFTWARE ENGINEER role and pay 24k. 3. Applied for Tier2 General on 26/Nov/2012 4. Refused on...

1. Do you think i should withdraw my appeal and re-apply with fresh application using new job title, new salary, new soc code 2136 and also most importantly a covering letter? 2. If question 1 is yes, then will i be exempted from RLMT? 3. Let's i have gone for appeal and got refused. will i have ch...

your friend can apply during the 28 day grace period counted from the date of the refusal letter. There is no need to make any argument, UKBA know the rules. As regards RLMT there is an apparent discrepancy between the Immigration Rules and the Tier 2 policy guidance. (detaIls above). Suggest you c...

unfortunately since you are outside the 28 day window (counted from 10 January) a further in-country T2 application would not be possible even if you withdrew the appeal. If it was the company's mistake to give an incorrect job description, SOC code and salary in the CoS, and had they provided the ...

Hi Manci, many thanks again. One final Q for the time being(see below). 2. about the COS allocation by the prospective sponsor: that might be a case. but shouldn't my case fall under 'unrestricted' allocation given I worked with another sponsor in the UK for 3 years, and am also an UK graduate? yes...

Hi, I am in the same boat...my application refused due to inappropriate salary. My salary is 25k and my role is junior software test engineer. They say it has to be 28k for test analyst. I have right to appeal but i am not sure what reason should I state??? Any ideas...Pls Help...I have started a n...

In my view, you have strong evidence to support your claim (e.g. salary slips). Therefore, going for appeal is a proper step. Since your previous visa is expired, you cannot re-apply unless you get 60 days notice. but, at the end of the day, its all about convincing the judge/magistrate at the hear...

So i have an update. a GOOD update! I have finally got my VISA! YES! i got this email from UKBA today: "Everything is fine this end my colleague has granted your application, your expiry date is 12 December 2015. All your documents, Passport, Degree certificate, Bank statements and transcripts...

Hi THIRUPATHI As far as I know job title doesn't matter main is job role matters? yes but my job title clearly matches with "SOFTWARE ENGINEER" and it requires £30,100 per year. i don't get that salary when i applied for Tier2 but now i have been promoted and getting more than that. i am ...

Thanks for your reply, THIRUPATHI I asked about what your lawyer said because I feel I might be in the same situation next week. Did you go for oral or written appeal? And have you been told how much time roughly it will take? I don't know if it's fortunate or not, but I have no experience(yet) wit...

Hi THIRUPATHI, May I ask you a question about the appeal you lodged? Did your legal adviser say there is a chance that you might win the appeal or you just trying to win some time(to do RLMT for example and then reapply from your home country)? What worries me is that you are not allowed to provide...

Hi Thirupathi, May I ask what steps did you take after the refusal? Did you apply for an appeal? Do you know if there is an option to re-apply? regards, Seetharama Yes i have lodged the appeal with the help of legal adviser. It was a mistake in CoS by CTO. He entered wrong Job Title it caused all s...

Hi Thirupathi, I have a similar problem as that of yours . In my case Tier 2 was rejected because while applying CoS mine was mentioned as 40 hour week where as the salary mentioned in CoS will be considered by UKBA only if it is 37.5 hour week. In your case as the evidences aftermath your submissi...

Hello Thirupathi I dont think you can withdraw the appeal and submit a fresh application as your visa is expired and you currently do not have any visa. I am not the best person to answer your second question and you can try and put together all the evidence and speak to a solicitor Hope it sorts o...

Hi, After my employer got the sponsorship they given me a unrestricted CoS on 19th Nov 2012 with Job Title SOFTWARE ENGINEER and 24K per year.
