Hello all,
I am working in a firm for 7 months now. now I wanted to switch my visa to Tier 2 general from Tier 2 dependent. I requested to management for the sponsorship as they do have sponsor, they have agreed for that.
they asked me to enquire on documents from their side and my side as they have not sponsored anyone yet.
So I have to get them all the information to give them.
Could you please give me all the details on my query.
It would be really helpful.
Thanks
Kris

Are you saying that your employer is a Home Office registered Sponsor and are able to issue a COS?
Assuming your position isn't on the official shortage list, do they understand that the proper procedure for RMLT needs to be followed and that you can only be offered the job if after advertising there are no suitable workers already living permanently in the UK. It must be a genuine vacancy.
It would appear at present that you have been pre-selected.

Thank you for your kind reply on my query.
yes, they have sponsorship!
I have been picked through the LinkedIn, I am a software developer. I do not know whether am on shortage list or not at present. basically they asked me to enquire all the relevant details to provide them.
Is RMLT has to be done even though for the existing employee?
Thanks again for your time and reply!

My understanding is yes RMLT is required if you are applying under Tier 2 general. Wait for further advice from others regarding the process.

That's my point. It will be obvious that you have been pre-selected.

Have you and your employer taken the time to read through ALL the information in the link I posted for you?

RLMT is needed.
You have to apply tier 2 general from home country.
u will need restricted cos. Note this again, u cant apply with un-restricted cos. Read this line again and memorize it.
They can advertise the position and run interview etc and see if they can find someone.. if they can, then they cant sponsor u (even if they dont take on that person as they already have u). If they cant find a suitable person here, then using that information (aka rlmt), they can apply a cos for u.
working for them and getting sponsored are 2 things.. on cos they will be certifying from date they want to sponsor u, not employ u. these are 2 different things..

Thanks to iworker. I was about to post the link showing that you are unable to switch from Tier 2 Dependent to Tier 2 General from within the UK.

Thank you for all your comments.
Lastly, they are A rating as well as am having of 2k maintenance for more than 3 months.
I have completely my masters in India is that sufficient for the English requirements?
Could you please figure out on these?

1. Rating A simply means that they have a valid license to sponsor , it doesn't give your sponsor any special status.
2. Maintainenance can be personal or certified by the sponsor. This would come into play when you have the requisite CoS & make an application. 2k if maintained continuously for 90 days near the time of application would be sufficient should your employer not certify it.
3. English language requirements - You would need a statement of comparability from UK NARIC and also evidence that your degree was taught in English. The degree alone wouldn't suffice.
Looking at your previous posts, I am puzzled if your employer has a sponsorship license , they are asking you to investigate about these requisites.

I have told them these already. Will see what happens.

Thank you for your traffic response back.
What you meant on that Uk NARC, it won't be suffice? Which means we need to have the IELTS bands in hand?
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
How many ads should be given for the RLMT?
As my employer has given on only one, is that sufficient to prove the RLMT?
Thanks advance

Job ad should be on two portals as far as I understand.

Did you not provide your sponsor with the link that Casa posted in your other topic on 27th September?? Your sponsor should have made sure they are up to speed with the sponsor duties etc.

It's a concern if an employer who is a sponsor is unaware of all this.
