rubycarlo wrote:Hello,
I am applying for a Tier 2 (general) visa next week and intend to provide my IELTS scores to claim points for the English requirement (overall score 8.0).
I took the test on 30 Jan 2014 and I believe it is valid until Jan-2016 (2 years right?). Since the test was taken before 05 April 2015, could you confirm if I can still use these results? I've checked the list of transitional approved tests and IELTS is still listed as one of them. Please let me know.
Also, do I need to provide my original IELTS test report form? Or will the Home Office verify my scores online?
Would appreciate a speedy reply. Thanks!
Reg your reply, I read somewhere that the salary points are calculated based on the band my salary would fall under. Is this applicable to the visa application points calculation?fahadfaiz wrote: Appropriate salary has max 20 points. What other points are you talking abt which you said HO will calculate themselves?
There are two dates Rcos assigned date. It is the date when after 11th day of month meeting if your rcos is granted then it can be assigned in 3 months otherwise it gets expired. So rcos assigned date is never same as work start date. Work start date is different from rcos assigned date.rubycarlo wrote:Thanks @fahadfaiz for the quick reply!
Could you please elaborate on the difference between COS start date and actual work start date? Can the actual joining date be amended after the COS is assigned?
Also please confirm regarding my query on IELTS test scores:

As far as I know, there are two bands of points. One is used when your employer applies for rcos. Those points are different than the points you claim when making visa application. Because rcos are limited they are ranked according to salary points, higher the salary, more points= more chances of rcos being granted. But once it is granted, than these points has nothing to do with points you claim on visa application.rubycarlo wrote:Reg your reply, I read somewhere that the salary points are calculated based on the band my salary would fall under.
