CoS - Change of Emplyment

[baz1237]

Hi,

My 3-year initial T2 visa expires this month. I am due to renew my visa however my job code has been changed. I am still with the same employer but on a different job code now.

My employer has paid for a CoS under the ‘Extensions - ISC liable’ category however I want to know whether my employer should’ve paid for CoS under the ‘Change of Employment - ISC liable’ category? Since my job code has been changed.

Thank you

How radical is the SOC change? And has your employer explained why there is a change?
Regardless of the situation it will make very little difference given you are not changing employer. The outcome will be the same.

So I was initially on 3545 - Sales Accounts and Business Development Manager. It has now changed to 4161 - Business Support Manager. It is almost as similar to my initial role but just has a different SOC code.

The COS should be for change of employment. That in itself is not a problem. The bigger issue might be the role change. You are going from an SOC that should be paying £30k+ to a SOC that has a lower salary for the role.
I am second guessing here, but is the new role paying less?

The salary that my employer put on the CoS this time is the same salary I was initially assigned on my first CoS. Not more not less

Has your actual job changed?

Yes role has changed but I’m with the same employer. Salary has not changed, still on the same salary from when I started.

Will it affect my application if I’m on the same salary as I was first assigned?
