Thank you for responding. The forum is very helpful but sometimes no one replies :(

Can anyone please help me here?

I am going to apply for tier 2 visa. I am switching from PSW visa, have a sponsor who has a licence.

I looked at the SOC code for my Job which is available at:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

I am getting confused here, in the SOC code it says:

This occupation code refers to further education teaching professional posts that require registration with the Institute for learning in England.
All jobs in this occupation code are at or above NQF level 6.

I am unqualified teacher doing teacher training which will be completed this July so I do not have a registration with the Institue for Learning in England but I will have it soon.

I was thinking of writing a covering letter explaining my situation.

What does anyoen think? :(

I think you are unqualified lecturer as mentioned in the list

If you can't register with Institute for learning in England as unqualified(confirm from them) and they mentioned in list which means you are eligible as unqualified usually the skill level means your skill on that level not you have to educated to be at that level


I hope it may help and wait for other experts you can even try to contact UKBA

Thank you very much for your reply. I am registered as an Affiliate member doing teacher training. I am not sure whether this is okay.

Do you know which number I can contact UKBA?

Thank you

If you're not a qualified teacher then at this time I don't see that you qualify to be issued a Tier 2 CoS. The sponsor should confirm this or discuss it with UKBA on 0300 123 4699.

Yes but why would they have qualified and unqualified sections in the SOC? Also, I am doing a teacher training and a member of Institue for learning...so what's wrong with this?

It could be like this. Let us say, If UKBA's salary specification for an "Engineer" is 20K for a 37.5 hrs week and if your company's general working hours are 40 hours a week and if you are paid 20 k for "Engineers" role that would not match UKBA's requirement. It has to be £21,332.

I worked as an unqualified teacher completing the GTP programme last year. As long as you are paid above the equivalent of 20,000 for 37.5 pro rata (as long as you work above 30 hours per week) you will be fine.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for replying. I am currently doing 37 hours per week and getting paid £23,996 annually. Can you please tell me what sort of documents did you send to UKBA?

I am thinking of sending the following:
1.) Degree certificate
2.) Bank Book and letter from bank
3.) 2x picture
4.) Bank statement showing income
5.) Copy of UCOS from employer
6.) LEtter of employment
7.) Letters from tutor stating that I am currently on a DTLLS course

Have I missed anything? Also, which guidance should I be using to check the correct SOC code for FE teacher?

Thanks

Think that sounds more than enough. You are on PSW, so they know about your degree. Letter of employment is covered by your CoS. Income is also confirmed by employer in your CoS. You must must must include proof of maintenance, 2 photos your passport and your CoS number and info (this MUST match what your employer says). The application form will let you know about anything else you need!

Hi,

I have kept £900 in my savings account since September. I went to the bank to get it updated today but since I only made transaction till 22nd of Jan, it only shows from sept to 22nd of January. What shall I do to prove that i still have at least £900 in my acct? I am going for the premium service.

Thanks

Hi Physicskate,

Did your employer mentioned that you were unqualified in the UCOS?

Thanks
