Tier-2 Rejected for wrong COP Job Code

[khans]

Hi All,

My Tier-2 visa got rejected yesterday on the basis of the fact that my salary is less by 1,000 GBP than the what should be paid for the Job code that my HR used while applying for the licence. Now my job tittle is Junior Performance Consusltant and this title does not exixt in COP list. So my HR was asked to put the one that most closely matches my job description. The one that she chose and thought most closely matches my job description is Operations Analyst and is paid 27,000 GBP whereas my role pays 26,000. I do not understand how that explains that I should be getting the exact same salary as a job that does not exactly but most closely matches my job description.

I am switchin from tier 1 post study and have been working for my current employer for mopre than 6 months.

I am now taking the legal route to lodge my appeal.
Do you think i have a fair ground to appeal on ?

Quick response will be much appreciated

You were refused cause your job title/description didn't match with the salary according to SOC. You don't have a strong case to win the appeal in my personal opinion.

Do you have any PSW left ? If you do then you can try to convince your employer to raise your pay (It's not a lot so you have a good chance) and request an increase in COS allocation. then apply again?

Thanks for your response.
My PSW has already expired so I cannot make a fresh application. If my employer agrees to raise my salary to £27,000 before the hearing, would that be considered in the appeal.

no - evidence relating to events or circumstances that have occurred after the date of decision are not accepted in PBS appeals if they relate to the scoring of points due to section 85A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002
