I have some basic Tier 2 General queries.
I am currently working for a company for under £22K salary for more than 6 months and have asked my company if they can apply for COS. They are registered under Tier 5 Exchange Programme (A category) and not under Tier 2 General on the Sponsorship Management System.
My question is :
1) If they apply for a licence for Tier 2 General, how long will it take them to get the licence.
anywhere between 4- 6 weeks...
2) After getting the licence will they get any allocation for a COS and if yes how long it generally take in such circumstances.
0 allocations
3) Based on my salary will it be difficult for them to get a COS.
whats your job title according to code of practice? once you have found that out, check if you are earning enough for that category
I have a lot of time before I apply for my Tier 2 so just would like to know whether my current company can get a COS done for me.
Many Thanks
I'm afraid notfaranjust4u wrote:I found the SOC Code for my job role. It is the Web designer role.
It is skilled at N/SVQ level 3 or above and the appropriate salary for the job is £26k.
However I am just get around £22k, will I still qualify for a COS under Tier 2 General. I will be switching from PSW.
Many thanks
It is future expected salary so what your employers state that they are going to pay you.The 6 months payslips will only be to prove that you have been working for them for at least 6 months. The salary has to be at least what the code states so nothing lessfaranjust4u wrote:Is it that I need to show last 6 months salary as 26k or just current salary at the time I apply should be 26k?
Does it have to be exactly 26k and above or slightly less will do?
Many thanks
* salary has to be exact (without allowances/overtimes etc but high cost area allowances can be added) or higher.faranjust4u wrote:Is it that I need to show last 6 months salary as 26k or just current salary at the time I apply should be 26k?

Oh Wow guess we both in the same boat ! I got only 7 months left You atleast have another year dudefaranjust4u wrote:That's what i want to know, if I can get COS from my current employer.
They are ready to do it, but as per all the restrictions I want to know whether they will be able to do it.
As per now I am meeting all the criteria but if UKBA is only issuing COS for salary above 36K then it would be a problem. They haven't mentioned this anywhere on their website but going through the forum I got this information and now I am not sure whether its true and this will be the case even after 8-9 months when I will actually apply.
Thats the only issue.
Thanks for all your concern.
