Tier 2 General Application Supporting Docs

Post by Elti » Mon Aug 20, 2018 5:27 pm

Hi,
I recenlty got a CoS assigned for me, at 16th of this month to be exact. I have searched all the forum for a complete guide on the topic of the supporting documents needed to make the application for Tier 2 General.

I have read the HO guide online but i cant find anywhere the answers i have for the doc i need to submit.
I know for sure that the list below is very important for the application:

- English proof (may be a certificate or proof that you have finished a degree taught in english)
- CoS reference number (provided by the employer)
- Proof for maintenance funds in your account ( or if the sponsor is A Rated he can check the box for the maintenance funds during the application for the CoS)
- Criminal Record (if the job SOC is on the list provided by HO)
- Proof about your qualifications ( degree )
- And of course a valid Passport

My question is what other doc do i have to submit to support my application?
Is it necessary to submit a Offer Letter for the job by the employer?

I am really struggling to find more detailed info.
Please help because I have to make the application this Wednesday and I don't want to make a mistake by not providing any important doc to the embassy.

Please help if i missed something.

By the way the job i was offered is Architect, Non Shortage. I was granted a CoS this month after 8 months trying to get one.

Please help, I would be very grateful if you help me :( I need to know if I am missing something, it is been a very hard time during this couple of month trying to get a CoS and I don't want to mess it up.

Taken from a previous post on this.

1) RCOS - suggest printing the PDF that comes in employer email
2) Evidence of English: NARIC certificate/Eng language test, Degree Certificate
3) Maintenance: letter from sponsor if certified in the cos/ letter from bank or statements showing sufficient fund for last 90 days
4) TB screening Test
4) Visa application form
5) 2 Passports photos as per UK req (can't find if you actually still need this? i think they might take it at the biometrics now)
6) Criminal Certificate if falling under prescribed SOC code
7) Passport with blank pages on both sides

Additionally, I'm going to include information on travel that UKVI used to asked for, up to ten years of international travel. I'm not sure if it's overkill but the new application form doesn't ask for this. I will also be including a letter to the officer as I did for my previous visa, but not necessary.

Thank you for the reply :D
So you think is not necessary to submit a Offering Letter from employer?
I am very confused because i cant seem to find anyone who has posted how to be succesful in the application.
