Tier 2 general - Job Promotion

[ashleyransoo]

Hi,

I have a concern in such that my company has undergone major restructuring of employees and there is a good change of me getting moved into a more senior position.

If I do get promoted, I have a couple of questions as to how this might affect my status:

1. Am I allowed to be promoted with a more senior title? In which case do I need to inform the UKBA?
2. Do I need to go through RLMT again and terminate my current COS and get issued a new COS for the senior role?
3. I was previously granted pre April 2011, before the new rules come in place. Will I be considered under old rules if ever I'll have to apply for a new COS and will it still be under the unrestricted category as I'm supposed to be?

Many thanks in advance.

Looking forward to hear from the administrators.

Thanks,
Ashley.

Hi Ashleyrabsoo,

I'm having the same issue and was just wondering what happened on your visa? did you need a new RLMT and a new visa? I'm getting promoted soon and will need to know this ASAP. Any update from those who had the same issue is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Yes if your COS / job function changes you will need to go through a new application with new COS and RMLT.
