Tier 2 sponsership

[waynerooney]

Hello everyone,

I found some good informative posts in this forum, i hope some can answer my questions..
My current visa is PSW expiring at 10th of march, my employer wants to sponsor me and he filed a online application for license.
I have some general questions like what minimum salary should be having to get tier 2 general visa? I work as a IT engineer. Do my employer has to advertise for job before issuing CoS? If the certificate gets delayed, can i still stay in country beyond my visa expiry?

Thanks.

Salary depends on your Code of Practice, you should be getting minimum salary requirement based on 39 working hours per week.

you should check the job that matches your job description it should be at NQF level 6.

if you already on PSW and you are in UK your employer do not need to advertise the post your do not need to complete resident labour market test.

Thanks for reply..

Sadly my employer failed with his sponsorship application as he was careless with the application. He didn't submit proper documents but still he wants to re-apply. But my visa expire on 13th march.
If he reapplies i need to wait beyond 13th march, someone from visa office told him that i can stay legally 28 days beyond expiry? I am not sure if it is good move??
Kindly expert advice here please..

overstaying up to 28 days is disregarded and if your employer gets his licence in this period you can apply for leave to remain. However, if your application is refused for any reason there will be no right to appeal and you are not allowed to work after your current leave expired.

As you employer is willing to sponsor you, so you should go back to your home country and once he gets his license than he can sponsor you from there only.

If i go back to india, employer has to take Labour market test as i understand?? Which he won't take it.
If he re-applies, m i allowed to stay beyond expiry?? I need to call ukba i think?

Thanks mate, so helpful of you.

So i can wait for my sponsor to get his license in these 28 days and then can apply.
By any case if he fails to get it? when i go back i'll be having overstay stamp on my passport isn't it? how will that affect to me in future??

overstaying has to be declared when you apply for entry clearance but overstaying up to 90 days will not affect your eventual application for entry clearance
