AjPS wrote:Hi, I am currently working in UK (in a permanent role) on a Tier 2 (General) visa sponsored by my current employer. I'm currently looking to change jobs and have found a similar job (under the same SOC code) for a new employer who already have a sponsor license. The new job however, is an 18 month fixed term contract. The sponsor have already passed the Resident Labour Market Test for the role. I've read that I will now have to make a new Tier 2 (General) visa application using a CoS assigned by the new sponsor.
I have a few questions:
1) Is the whole process and minimum salary requirement (under SOC code) the same for permanent roles and fixed term contracts ?
Yes, make sure the SOC code matches your job title/description
2) I will need an "unrestricted" CoS won't I, as I am extending my stay under Tier 2 (General) to work for a new sponsor ? Or will it be a restricted CoS ?
Unrestricted CoS is for applications from inside the UK and restricted Cos is only for out-of-country apps.
3) How much time is needed for the sponsor to assign me an unrestricted CoS if they already have a sponsor license ?
The CoS can be obtained within half an hour on SMS if they already have one remaining allocated CoS.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
So, I will need an unrestricted CoS, isn't it ?kevb2014 wrote:AjPS wrote:2) I will need an "unrestricted" CoS won't I, as I am extending my stay under Tier 2 (General) to work for a new sponsor ? Or will it be a restricted CoS ?
Unrestricted CoS is for applications from inside the UK and restricted Cos is only for out-of-country apps.
Tier 2 (General - Changes of Employment)For a change in employment application using an unrestricted CoS, what exactly should the CoS say at the top under Tier & category ?
