As long as the RLMT has been completed and the role is a genuine vacancy at or above NQF6 you can happily apply for your tier 2 visa without returning home.

Hi! I have the same situation: I completed my master in 2011, after that I got PSW and then applied for Tier 4 again to study ACCA (not completed yet), now I got and offer and employer can sponsor me for tier 2 but I had a gap for 9 months came back to my country on my PSW visa (due to health problem so I couldn't come back UK sooner)
---> can I apply for tier2 with COS inside UK or I have to apply outside UK with RCOS?
I have medical documents that can prove for my time gap on my PSW (I intent to come back my country for only 4 months due to my parent's health problem but after that I was serious ill and had to stay 4 more months for treatment as my doctor said I couldn't come back UK without treatment!)
Will UKVI accept my situation?
Please give me advice before I decide to apply!
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi guys,

I am in a very similar situation, I need some urgent help please!

I was on student visa when I came to UK did my bachelors degree here then I was on PSW and then now on tier 4 ACCA. I have got an offer from a firm to sponsor me but I am just wondering can I switch to tier 2 now on the basis of my previous bachelor's degree without the RMLT. I have had continuous leave to remain since I have came to UK. Please advice me if any one had a similar situation and could successfully switched to tier 2 from tier 4 as an ACCA student.

Hi Lucie1121 / Beeuk did you apply for the tier 2? did you get it as our situations looks very similar?

Thanks everyone, please do let me know, waiting eagerly for a response!!!!
