Skilled visa - ISC issues.

[Zubair980]

Hi,

I applied skilled visa two months ago. I was on graduate visa. My employer selected wrong category: (graduate in T4/student route). So it didn't ask for ISC fee.
On 4th Oct (Wednesday). I received an email from home office.

Thank you for your priority application for permission to stay in the UK as a skilled worker.

Although we would normally decide your application within five days from the date your biographic information was submitted, unfortunately this has not been possible in your case.

This is because we are currently awaiting confirmation of the requirement for your work sponsor to pay the Immigration Skills charge.

I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.

My employer didn't get any mail from HO. I and my employer are chasing HO but no response from them.

How can we resolve this issue?

Hi all,

I am asked to pay for immigration skill charge for my skilled worker visa extension although my first visa was exempt from paying ISC because I transitioned from student visa holder to skilled worker visa route. My job title is now changed as I have a promotion, but my SOC code remains the same.

Based on the regulation, should I pay or not pay the ISC fee? Thank you!
