As far as I know as long as your employer pays you the correct amount mentioned in the code of practice for your job title by the time of your application it should be fine. (You have to provide last 6 months payslips only to prove your working for the company not how much you make)agn wrote:Need Help!!!
I am working with my employer since I got my PSW (more than 6 months). And my psw going to expired on coming Nov which planning to switch to Tier2 (General).
However, my current salary does not meet the appropriate rate.
As my employer going to apply CoS and they said they would raise it up to the requirment for CoS & my visa application.
I wondering when they need to raise my salary?
The month before I apply my Tier2 VISA, or need earlier??
Also how long does it take for apply CoS? 3 months??
As my employer going to apply in early July, will it be alright?!
Many thanks!!!
1. Your company Register with the Home office Online.agn wrote:Thanks madona587 & mt_dilber. It is a good news to me. Salary is my most worry bit.
But I may have some misunderstanding on CoS with Sponsor Licence?!
My office have not register.
The Cos assigned Instantly!?
I knews it need to apply CoS online, and post the supporting documents afterward. A number will issue to emplyer when it succeed?!
Cos assigned Instantly, is that mean while doing the online application, it already knew it is a Unrestricted CoS?
Or it does take time for my employer to apply Sponsor Licence?
Thanks in advance

Does it mean that I need to have the appropriate rate of the Code of Practice even I have worked for the same employer for 6 months when I switch from PSW to Tier 2 (General)?
Yes.
What if the job title I am working on cannot be found in the code of practice?
You have to find the code which is the closest to your job. Read the Guidelines mate it clearly tells you how to locate the code for your job)
Many thanks!!

When your company assigns you a COS they must select which SOC code your job falls under, followed by job description and Salary. Yes its in the SMS (Sponsorship Management System)peg1980 wrote:Hi
To Madona587. thank you in advance
I am not sure what you mean by 'Level 1 user logins in to the SMS and Creates and NEW COS for you (By providing your details, Passport no, employment details, Salary, Job title. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HERE ON WHAT SOC Code you put for your Job and the Annual Salary)'
when my employer filled the form, he said he didnot see any code. Is this code in SMS?
I just finished biometric taken at 16 Nov 2011 and waiting for the result. But now I am worry about my application, because of SOC code.
I am a marketing assistant in this company with 20,000 annual salary. Ive been working in this company for over 1 year.In this case, will my application be refused?
thank you, any valuable suggestion will be appreciated!
Mate if your job requires hourly rate MAKE SURE you take your working hours into consideration. Your standard working hours is usually 37.5hrs for a full time job. So you must work out how much you are earning based on your hours. You can't work more hours to match the salary. Hope you get my point.peg1980 wrote:Hi
Thank you so much.
Yes, I switched my visa from PSW to Tier2 general.
In SOC, there is no exactly the same one as my job title. However, I just found one similar to my job which is 3543 (marketing associate professionals) the Minimum rate: £11.01 per hour. which mean the annual salary is 19818.
So my annual salary should be fine with 20,000. Am I right??
But I donot know what exactly my employer did in SMS. He said he didnot know any code at all. After I got COS, I just submitted my application on 26 Oct 2011 and biometric on 16 Nov. In my application, I wrote my job title is 'marketing assistant'.
Does it possible to make any adjustment on SMS now? Will it make any different?
Thanks again!
Once the COS is assigned you can't make ANY CHANGES to it.peg1980 wrote:Hi
Thanks, arsenal49. I will check with my employer tomorrow. Then get back here.
Last question,
If he put the wrong one, what can I do next?
Will it make any different if he changed it from SMS immediately?
Thank you.
If thats the case technically you are an over stayer. But I believe you can make a out of time application with a new COS. There are few threads here about it. Search.. I'm not exactly sure about the procedure.peg1980 wrote:Gosh...I was so naive!!
Thank you, madona587. Thanks.
Unfortunately, my psw just expired ( 1 Dec, 2011 ). What can I do next?!
If my employer put the wrong one, Will I overstay here?
What should I do??!!
Some advices???
How is he an overstayer if he made an application to switch from tier PSW to tier 2 in October?madona587 wrote:If thats the case technically you are an over stayer.

You can also try out of country in which you will need a restricted COS and RLMT I think and its a bit more complicated.
If you are to apply again make it clear that you have over stayed though from what I read here UKBA is been helpful with
Until your application is decided you can't jump into any conclusions. So do the necessary research and keep your employer of possible outcomes.
He applied for TIER2 in October and his PSW already expired. (1 Dec, 2011) If he gets refused for TIER2 doesn't that make him an over stayer? At least technically?Greenie wrote:How is he an overstayer if he made an application to switch from tier PSW to tier 2 in October?madona587 wrote:If thats the case technically you are an over stayer.

You said: In that case technically you are an overstayer. He is not currently an overstayer because he has made an in time and presumably valid application and therefore his leave is extended under section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971. If his application is refused he will have a right of appeal, so will not be an overstayer until the appeal deadline (10 working days from receipt of decision) has passed or if he does appeal, once his appeal rights are exhausted. So, no, he is not currently and overstayer as you suggested, technically or otherwise.madona587 wrote:He applied for TIER2 in October and his PSW already expired.
