Tier2 Application Rejected...HELP

[terencechen]

Hi ash
My employer is ready to issue a new COS and Iam not sure wat the job title and description should be.

If I mention a job title as software engg and show the salary as 22500 will that be fine or do I have to mention the job title as graduate developer and job description as a Software programming and development for robotics and automation.
That's what my job is programming industrial robots , PLC and vision systems for automation industry.
Please do let me know so that I don't make any mistakes this time.

Cheers,
Bharat

Hi s0787671, I have a similar situation. My tier 2 application been rejected. the reason is the salary is below the minimum rate of my job title. I am trying to reapply it again with new cos.

my questions are

1. how do you issue a new certificate? i have read you previous post, you mentioned that you can only have 1 limit certificate this year and that one had been used and rejected. how do you cancel the used one and issue a new one? have you solved it out?

2. after you have reapplied it again. how it is going? have you got your visa yet?

thanks

Hi terencechen,

1. My employer contacted UKBA on sponser support helpline contact number : 0300 123 4699 /
email: sponsorshipPBSenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk.
They got the license updated, and now he can apply for two COS in a year.


2. I am in the process of applying, but I will let you know as soon as I get a response.

The year is 12 months from issue of the sponsor license. If I were your employer I would ask UKBA for another CoS allocation because the first one was refused on a technicality. UKBA should allocate another CoS. To be honest we always advise sponsors to go slightly higher than what they know they need, in case things like this happen. If UKBA say they have to wait 'til next year they're talking total crap.

Hey can someone please advise me.

I applied for a Tier 2 General visa on 26th Aug, 2009. Switching from PSW to Tier 2 General (30 points )
My PSW visa expired on 26th Sep, 2009.
I got a refusal letter from HO 14th Oct, 2009 stating that my salary £24k is less then the £26k expected off a Programmer as per the Code of Practise hence my visa has been refused.

I've 10 days to appeal against the decision. My employer is happy to push my salary upto £26k. So I am now thinking of making an appeal suggesting a payrise has been made (include letter from employer) ! What are the chances of my appeal being successful given this info ?

Also how long does it take for HO to allocate a new COS, as we only had 1 left which now comes up as used ?

Please help,
Thanks, Rohit

I am afraid you can not introduce new salary in your appeal

[simplythebestro]

What are the implications of losing an appeal ? Will it affect my chances of coming back to UK again ?

Also as my visa has expired I can't make a new application inside UK (requirement: you should have leave to remain when applying for a visa within UK).
Can I request in my appeal that they allow me to make an application from inside UK with a new COS, even though my visa has expired ?

my spouse is in the exact same position as you are and got COS rejected just for a few hundred pounds difference in salary, visa expired(took 6 months to process postal application!) and now waiting for appeal next week. I would also like to know is it possible to get a new COS and apply while inside the UK or one has to apply back from his native coutry?

My company has agreed to up my salary and issue a new COS
But I am getting mixed suggestions from whoever I've spoken. The suggestions from Immigration Consultants are mainly:

1) Send an appeal with new salary evidence (review letter) and at the same time send a fresh application with the new COS reference number as even though my visa has expired, your old visa gets extended sort of allowing me to make a new application

2) Send an appeal with the new COS reference number, but I can't submit fresh applications as my current visa has expired

Can you please advise.

Regards, Rohit
