Company not willing to give New SOC Code mapping: Pls Help

[Kevin24]

But you still need employer reference letter for ILR and you are saying they can give with OLD SOC code ? Actually , appendixj and SOC 2010 has old code to new code mapping defined which case worker will refer to.
As suggested by others , you can take a print out of mapping page and email that you sent to HR and try and explain same to CW.
Chances are 50-50 though.

Absolutely correct. This is what CW will do. If you were asked why the old SOC Code has been used you should be able to explain.Tell the truth. Good Luck.

I wonder how / why the employer will give new SOC code.If I am the employer, I paid for the COS which was generated before 6th April 2013 using SOC 2000. So the employee is being paid at a rate set by SOC 2000. If the visa using the SOC 2000 system is still valid, why would the SOC 2010 be used?

So I believe that using SOC 2000 is correct. The employer is not applying for employee's ILR. The employer is giving a letter on request from the employee so that the employee can apply for ILR.

How about this logic?

The only correct logic is the one which CW is willing to buy.
