The exemption applies if you are extending your leave e.g. you are in Tier 2 with the employer and extending the time on the leave. Your case is switching from PBS dependent to Tier 2 main applicant so an RLMT is definitely required.anujjaglan wrote:Hi Monlight,
Thanks for the case study and your answer. I still have some doubt.
Employer is saying that they will submit COS for Immigration change category and in that case no need of RLMT. Please advise if COS can be raised in this category for ICT T2 Dependent?
Section 27.7 (b), 28.4, 28.5 on below links are confusing me.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... d_v1_2.pdf
Section 28.4/5 Says:
Exemptions from the resident labout market test
28.4 This section sets out where you do not have to carry out a resident labour market test
before you can assign a CoS under Tier 2 (General).
Continuing to work in the same occupation
28.5 If the migrant is already working for you and they need to extend their leave to continue
working for you in the same occupation, you do not need to carry out a resident labour
market test.
Section 27.7 (B) Says:
All applications by migrants who are applying from within the UK, including those
extending their stay in Tier 2, changing employer, or switching immigration category.
The only exception to this is where the migrant switching into Tier 2 (General) is in the
UK as a dependant of another migrant who was last granted leave under Tier 4 and
will be paid less than £155,300. These dependants do count towards the limit and you
must apply for a restricted CoS for them.
Could you please advise and Confirm if RLMT is must in our case?
