Switching to Tier 2 visa (sponsored) from Tier 1 (gENERAL)

[futty]

Hi ALL

I am currently on Tier 1 (General) visa but unable to extend my LTR due to shortage in earnings.

I am a Social Worker ( my job is in Shortage occupation list) and my employer is willing to sponsor me and switch to Tier 2. I have been working for my employer for over2 years .

I would like to know if my employer still need to advertise the position in the Jobcentre ; before they consider offering me ; eventhough I have been working for them for over 2 years?????

Please advise and would highly apprecaite hearing from you.

thanks

If your job description is a Shortage occupation role – drafted by the MAC (Migration Advisory Committee) then your employer would be exempt from carrying out RLMT

Secondly since you would be switching from PSW to Tier 2 with the same employer you would not be require to carry out RLMT either

the OP is switching from Tier 1 General, not Tier 1 PSW. Is there any reason why you always refer to your own website rather than to the UKBA website as a source of information? Not trying to use the forum to drum up business by any chance? I don't think this is permitted.

OP - See eligibility

Dear Greenie,

I give free advice on the immigration boards - which helps drives traffic to the boards - There is also an option to add or attach a signature.

what I am doing is not touting for business.

If people wish to contact me to discuss a message I have left they are free to do so.

my details are there for everyone to see I do not hiding behind a fake name it show that I am accountable and have integrity.

You message sound like sour grapes.

I'm not sure if you are allowed to have a link to your business in your signature.

However I have seen your posts. They were helpful however adding "if you need more info please contact xxx number xx email" is very annoying and looks like spamming.

There is a another forum about UK Immigration which provided free help and with time it turned out to be a place for law firms to collect leads.

This forum provides FREE advice so yeah
