Tier 2 General - Extension Application refused

[AKANTONY]

Hi,
My Tier 2 extension application got refused on 09/11/2017 due to Salary requirement didn't match against my SOC Code . I was on SOC new entrant 2472 @ £21,750 previously and on my new COS it was left same. My employer will have to request for a new cos with home office and at this stage how should I be handling the situation. Looking forward for everyone's kind information.

Kind Regards
Arun

Hi CR001,
Thank you for your swift reply. Since my Visa expired on 19th September 2017 and now my extn application got refused, my employer is ready to increase my Salary to match the requirement to £23,600, but will have to request for a new COS as the current one is already allocated for another staff. Could you guide me on what to do next please also am I eligible to work for the same employer at the moment ?

Kind Regards

Hi ,
I made my Tier 2 General Extension application as detailed below;

Ist Issued Work Permit in Sep 2014 & Expired on 19th Sep 2017

29/09/2017 - Received Biometrics Letter
13/11/2017 - Received HO application refused letter with decision date as 09/11/2017.
Reason for Refusal - Didn't meet Appropriate Salary.


Could someone help me with queries listed below, please?

1. My employer is ready to review my salary and is okay to issue me a new COS. HR will be requesting for a new COS on priority service, so am I eligible to apply on 27/11/2017 or will have to apply by 23/11/2017 as on the letter received the decision date is 09/11/2017 and I received the letter on 13th Nov 2017?

2. Am I eligible to continue working for the employer or will have to stop working till visa is sorted?

3. If I have to stop working until my visa is sorted what date I will have to address ?

4. What date is ideal to be in my new COS as Starting Date?

5. My wife ( Dependant) is on her maternity leave with maternity pay and will have to rejoin back by the beginning of December, what all things she will have to look into before starting to work with her employer?

Awaiting your valuable suggestions and guidance.

Hi ,
My Tier 2 Extn application is refused on the background for not meeting appropriate salary. My Visa already expired on 19th Sep 2017. If my employer issues me a new COS. Am I still eligible to address as exempted from RLMT?

You can submit another application within the next 14 days from your refusal date

2. Am I eligible to continue working for the employer or will have to stop working till visa is sorted?
You can continue working as long as you are able to submit another application with 14 days of refusal

3. If I have to stop working until my visa is sorted what date I will have to address ?

4. What date is ideal to be in my new COS as Starting Date?
I guess you can use a start date that is 2 - 3 weeks ahead.

5. My wife ( Dependant) is on her maternity leave with maternity pay and will have to rejoin back by the beginning of December, what all things she will have to look into before starting to work with her employer?

The most important thing is to get your sponsor to request a new CoS using premium service. Once you have the CoS, it can be assigned to you with increased salary information and then you submit your application.

That would be because you cannot have Tier 2 for more than 6 years and as your original visa was issued on 14th August 2014, the expiry date of your new visa now is exactly 6 years.

Hi,
My current Work Permit is expiring on 19th September 2017 and I have few questions were if someone could help me out will be greatly appreciated.

Current Tier 2 General Visa

Hi ,
If I want to apply for PR based on Long Residency, I will be 8 months short to complete my 10 years stay in the UK. Will I have any options left to make a successful application?

Kind Regards
Arun

[CR001]

You will have to find a visa you qualify for. You won't be able to apply for tier 2.

Hi CR001,
I already did my masters here on Tier 4, am I eligible to apply for another course and switch to Tier 4 just before my Tier 2 expires or do I need to leave the country and apply from my native country and will it affect on my 10 year LR route?
