i am confused here.....

so.. are you saying that you can apply for tier 2 without having a COS? surely, this constitutes an invalid application since you have submitted incomplete app.

what happens when you have submitted your app, done your biometrics, and during the "waiting" period, your visa expires? does your leave get extended because of outstanding app?

thanks

Hello all,

some update from my side. UKBA panel came back to us Yday saying Our request for additional CoS (PSW TO Tier 2) was unsuccessful. My tier 2 application which was sent without CoS has been refused today. Though they gave me a chance to appeal against there decision not sure on what ground i/ company is going to appeal against decision. Seems like i am done with UK.

@Pokale2600 I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so painful to have been a victim of such a disorganized system and unreasonable system.

I don't know how much you really want to fight this but you may want to seek the advice of a good solicitor. Of course it may cost you quite a bit but if you have the resources to do this then it may be worth it.

I'm in a similar situation, the only difference being that my company was lucky to have received an initial allocation. Unfortunately, they selected the wrong job category when applying for my CoS which resulted in me being refused a Tier2 visa because I didn't satisfy the minimum salary requirement for that job category. I was given the right to appeal and it is in a few days.

I wish you all the best and I hope you are able to come to some sort of resolution.

Does this mean that anybody who is in non-shortage occupation list, even if employer has conducted resident labour market test, and anybody on PSW should not waste their time and energy.. and lose hope for their COS request???

Hi Amit (Pokale2000).

Can you please confirm the reason they gave you for refusing the COS this time?

Thanks.
Ashley.

Hi Ashleyransoo,

reason UKBA gave me is,

You have not currently been awarded any of the Tier 2 (General) CoS you requested. This decision has been made in accordance with the guidance and rankings detailed within the Sponsor Guidance.

Hi Pricesoft,
when your employer was issued an initial allocation of COS, what was your salary level and was it for a new hire or extension? What panel month did you get it?

pricesoft · Post by **pricesoft** » Tue Nov 16, 2010 10:44 am

Hi J_PO,

It was for a new hire on the same job position I held whilst I was on a PSW with the same employer. I have been with the same employer for 2 years now and I was switching from a PSW which meant that my sponsor needn't carry out the RLMT. My salary at the point of applying in july was 26400 but unfortunately my employer selected a wrong job category when filing the CoS which meant that the UKBA adjudged my position to be somewhat higher than it actually is. I work as a web developer but the home office decided my application as though my job title is a systems developer with a minimum salary of around 31000.

Keep in mind that our CoS allocation was given to us in July (as part of our initial allocation for the year) which means that we didn't go through a panel to get our CoS.

I see you have just been given an allocation, I would advise you look through your application throroughly to make sure that you are satisfying every required requirement. especially the minimum salary requirement.

Wish you good luck
