Tier 2 refusal; help required

[tier2_refused]

Hi.

I have been refused a visa for tier 2 the reason provided by ECO is that i have been assigned a CoS on the same date the RLMT campaign ends. They also mentioned that the job has been tailored since it was assign just on the completion date of RLMT.
I have the following queries. Kindly help me out.

1. The RLMT start date was 2nd December, 2014, CoS was assigned on 30th of December.
If we include 2nd december (the date when advertise was posted) , the 28 days period completed on 29th of December; which is one day after the RLMT. Correct me if I am wrong?

2. Is there any issue if i have been assigned a CoS on the date of interview ?

Should I go for administrative review or not ? Kindly help me

The rules say that the minimum advert timescale for the advert is 28 days. If your COS was issued on the 28th day then the RLMT could not have been completed.
It is pretty clear you were a pre selected candidate, pointless exercise going for AR

Thats what i m asking

RLMT start date was 2nd december so its end date should be 29 dec. I was assigned CoS on 30th dec.
ECO commented that end date will be 30th december for RLMT.

It is not a winnable argument. 28 days is clear days. If you ask the person in the street what are they going to say 2+ 28 so the earliest date for a COS would be one day beyond the 28th date so in your case 31st.
It is a hopeless case.

How big is your potential employer? Is it a consultancy or small office?

[Frontier Mole]

What difference will that make?

Agree with frontier. Even if they somehow buy your calculation of days, its difficult to agree the fact that the sponsor conducted the entire interview process + hr round + offer letter + assigned CoS as well on the same day. I can understand where the ECO is coming from.

Don't worry mr frontier mole. The question is not for you. You have posted your views and allow everyone have their own. Don't think you always give the correct advice.

Yip agree.
Talks about an ECO but is in country allegedly..... I think not.
Admin review is an out of country methodology as well.

The pungent oder of BS....
