Urgent Help!!! Switching from PSW to Tier 2 General

[Helpseeker707]

Dear All,

I have been working with my existing employer for last 5 months now. I am planning to switch my visa status from PSW to Tier 2 before 6 April 2013. I have all the supporting documents ready. However I need a help with following queries which are;

1) How important is it to enclose my payslip along with the application? as i haven't seen anywhere written that PSW switching into Tier 2 requires to provide payslip.
2) If in case, it is mandatory then how many month's payslip do i need to provide them?
3) What if my salary on those payslips are less than mini. salary of £20K (however now my pay is more than £20K).

Will truly appreciate your speedy responses. Thank you in advance.

1.) You do not need to include any. You do not even need to be currently working for your employer, so no need to prove you have already worked for them.
2.) Moot.
3.) Moot. The salary that agrees with your SOC code (or 20K, whichever is higher) must be represented on your CoS. Make sure that your salary agrees with the Codes of Practice!!!

Thank you physicskate for your reply.

So basically, the documents i need to send with my application are;

1) Passport
2) 2 Photos
3) Old Bio-metric Resident Card
4) Letter from the employer confirming about my maintenance fund.
5) UK Degree Certificate as an evidence for English language test.

So is that all? Anything else i need to add? kindly let me know. Thanks again.

Sounds right, from what I recall. Follow the guidance on the application and you should be reet.

Hi,
You don't need to enclose payslips, because if someone in PSW those have job offer and get minimum salary based on SOC code can apply for TIER 2. You need to provide Bank statement that you have fund for maintenance.

Got it..... many thanks....

Guys is it mandatory to keep a letter from employer about maintenance of fund I have already applied for the visa and given my biometrics. I have provided a letter from my employer to UKBA confirming my job offer also in the COS my company has ticked the option to maintain funds.

Eagerly waiting for your replies

Hi arun,

I am about to apply as well. My employer is maintaining funds and has mentioned this on the COS. Even the guidance says that 'just a tick' in the COS is enough. Apart from that, it does not specify to submit a letter from employer or any kind of sponsor note.

Please suggest if you have any updates on this situation.. Thank you.
