Wrong SOC Code - Application still with UKBA - What to do?

shoma · Post by **shoma** » Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:42 pm

Hi I urgently need your guidance, here is my problem:

I am on psw visa, and applied for T2 Emp sponsored visa with dependent. My application is still under consideration.

I have realized that my employer used SOC code "1141 Quality Assurance Manager" instead of "1136
Information and communication technology managers", which does not match with my salarly currently at Â£27,300 and i see that my appliation will be eventualy refused.

My current psw visa will be expiring on 5th of next month. what are my options.

If i get refusal letter after 5th of september how much time will i have to leave the country. will i become overstayer which i dont want to be.

Its so annoying

Please help me with your guidance

Sorry to hear about your situation mate,

I had a similar problem however I did not make the application, I found out my company has put the wrong SOC code as well, Then they withdrawn the COS and applied for a new COS. We were given one within a day. I'm going to make my application within this week.

Given the short time you have I doubt you have lot of options. Did you speak to a solicitor ? I don't know if you will get the right to appeal but if they do you can fight back cause its the employers fault. I can't believe how buggy the system is, Unbelievable

your app will get rejected....no matter how you explain it!

your options

1. get your employer to contact ukba and explain that you, i.e. applicant, will be issued new COS very soon and that you will be submitting new COS via change of circum. form.

2. be explicit that ukba MUST NOT return your app but rather withhold it, until they receive change of circum. form from you.

if they return it to you, and your visa has already expired.. then you fall under overstayed cateegory which looks very, very bad on your immigration history

Aresenal don't they give you a time limit if they refuse you ? Like certain number of days to appeal or leave the country. If your application gets refused will you become over stayer ?

there is 28-days period which you get BUT you are officially an overstayer during that time(although this 28-day period has no consequence attached to it except when it comes to ILR!).

after 28 days, you are given an automatic 1 year ban.

one should strive to NOT become an overstayer!

Thanks Arsenal.

That would give me enough time to cancel my direct debits and clear the apartment

TBH I'm not even confident I will get this TIER2, Its just way too complicated. It's been 6 months I have been trying to get everything done but this whole system is simply "Corrupted" My heart is no longer in this country.

sorry for being out of scope of this forum

Modona587, I think this country is making life far too much hard by imposing illogical barriers and tricks to make you leave the country i should have been working now and concenterating on my work rather than worrying about a very complex system mistake, there is more to life than a f****** visa. i cannot concentrate on my career but have to spend extra amounts of time to understand new changes and so called policy guidance.

we have been trying to get our company certified since last september, what ever you do there is something left. I am planning to leave as well once i see the outcome of this.
