I think you are getting 2 things confused. There is no requirement for them to do a resident labour market test, but they still need to provide a certificate of sponsorship for you to be able to switch to Tier 2.133.
A resident labour market test will not be required where a migrant currently has permission to stay in the United Kingdom under:
tier 1 (Post-study work); or
the International Graduates Scheme; or
the Fresh Talent Working in Scotland Scheme; or
the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme,
and he/she wishes to switch into Tier 2 (General) and has been employed in the United Kingdom for a continuous period of at least six months with the same employer, working in the same job, immediately prior to the application being made.
so i'd need an additional letter as well as the certificate of sponsorship?Migrants in these circumstances will need a letter from their sponsor to submit with their Tier 2 application. The letter must show:
the applicant’s name; and
the date of the letter; and
the sponsor’s name and logo; and
confirmation that the migrant has been working for the sponsor for at least six months immediately prior to the application.
Claiming Points
209. An applicant will automatically
be awarded points for the maintenance
requirement, without the need to provide
evidence, where he/she:
EITHER
a) has entry clearance, leave to enter, or leave
to remain as a:
• Tier 2 Migrant;
• Jewish Agency Employee;
• Member of the Operational Ground Staff of
an Overseas-owned Airline;
• Minister of Religion, Missionary, or Member
of a Religious Order;
• Representative of an Overseas Newspaper,
News Agency, or Broadcasting Organisation;
• Work permit holder;
OR
b) is applying for leave to remain as a Tier 2
(General) migrant and obtains points under
the post study work provisions.
switching to Tier2 - i "think" one of you either ur employer or u shd give the proof by letter/bankstatements for the maintenance funds points..ayushee wrote:Hi, me again, just wondering if there is any need to show proof of maintenance for 3 months if you're switching from PSW category ... has anyone had a successful application without having done this? Thanks in advance!
The six months rule is no longer required as announced by HO. See Page 2.gevenia wrote:another question,
i'm also trying to switch from psw to tier 2 ,
its a bit vague ,
need to clarify , do i have to be working in the same job and same employer for at least 6 months?
or do i have to be working with the same employer for the last 6 months , and just working in the same job at the time of application..
the reason is that , my visa ends in OCT 09 , and i;ve been offered a new role just a month ago which takes my salary up the points i need.
The doc says you dont need a letter from the employer about 6 months workThe six months rule is no longer required as announced by HO. See Page 2.
