clarification on tier 2

[ahmad12]

Hi all,
I have thoroughly read the tier 2 policy guidance and need some clarifications . The question that I am about to ask is because i either couldn't find the an answer to it or was not too sure about it

at the moment i am on post study tier1 and to switch the criteria that I have to meet are:
1. appropriate salary rate
2.maintenance and english
3certificate of sponsor ship
4. degree

in regard to point 1, my salary is not the same or above the rate in the UK code of practice but will be before i apply, I know at the time that I apply for visa I will have to provide my previous 6 month payslips to proof my employment and also a letter from employer confirming my employment.

my question is, if my salary is going to meet the requirement just a month before applying, would that be acceptable? ini another word do they need to know that you will be paid at the appropriate rate or have been paid?


in regard to point 2, the maintenance is clear and for english as I have graduated in the UK no need to do any testing , am i correct?


3. here is what is most interesting , how does the cos work? i know is allocated on monthly basis, does every company get a certain portion of the allocation based on their size or is it first come first served?
overall appreciate any info or link on how cos is allocated

4. do i have to apply within defined time frame after i have got my degree, for instance I had to do that for post study but could not find anything on this for tier2 so guess as long as I have
Certificate for my degree no matter when it was issues, it can be used to proof my english literacy

5. if i was here as student then post study, i believe i already have entry clearance , is that correct ? do i need to apply for entry clearance?


thanks to all

Assuming your company has got sponsorship license:

1)your salary has to be at appropriate from the time CoS has been issued, there no problem if you had payslips of less salary before. they count from start of cos date.

2)No need for maintenance as you are switching from PSW, this also applies for english language.

3)Monthly basis is for out of country applications. For in-country applications its unrestricted CoS and your HR can ask for a CoS if they havent got in the system. This may take from 1day-3weeks to get.

4) Your degree is enuf.

5) You have already cleared the enty. Now you are just extending that Further Leave to Remain (FLR)

thanks budyd really helpful.
I don't know if I am not paying attanetion or it is because the information is not there ,

I was under impression that there is a cap for number of cos, so does that mean my employer will not have a problem obtaining cos if i am paid at approperiate rate?

also where do i find the information that says, i do not need maintenance if i am inside the country and switching from cos

thanks you again

But clearly you either didn't read it fully or you didn't understand. You are not the only one. I'm not trying to be rude but a bit of common sense is all needed. Search the forums and if you still can't find an answer post it here and we will help you out.
