WP - Shortage Occupation List

Post by lipiden » Mon Aug 10, 2009 4:13 pm

Dear Sir,

My company willing to sponser myself and applied for Sponsership License. My company waiting for the same from H.O.
Once we received, I am going to apply for Tier 2 under shortage occupation list. (Civil Engineer - Structural Steel Engineers).

I have run throught the point bases assesment and I am qualified. My salary and working hours are met with H.O. Guidelines. Now, my doubt is, if my company CoS is approved for 1 off myself under shortage occupation list, does any one let me know, what are the proof i need to send it with the application.

P.S: I am not qualifying for Tier 2 - General with educational background. Hence, my employer going with Shortage occupation list.

Please advice.
Ram

1. If the job is on the shortage occupation list then u do not need to provide any proof for that as it will be confirmed on the COS wen u sponsor apply for the COS for u and when u make the application and select shortage occupation.

2. HO will check that after the receievd the application that u job is a shortage occupation list.

Thanks Ash.

Mine is on Shortage occupation list. Once License is issued my company will apply for CoS online and they will make sure we fill that shortage occupation list catagory. My only concern was, although my company filled out that this on shortage occupation list, does HO need any proof from the candidate regarding to qualification ie. he is capable of doing what it said on Shortage occupation list. However, you have just replied that i need not to submit any proof.

Another query.. any idea how long does it take to get CoS from the date of online application?

Thanks a lot.

Follow the link and read on the Page 22 as it clearly explains that for shortage occupation an applicant does not have to earn points for prospective earnings or qualification.
