Hi,
I was looking for a document in UKBA website to prove my employer that they can issue me an unrestricted CoS. Can anybody please send me any info from UKBA link which clearly states that Tier-2 general applicants currently on Post-study worker leave can be issued unrestricted CoS?
Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the reply Manci. I may be wrong but I was looking for unrestricted CoS in those paragraphs. My doubt is that whether the applicant with PSW immigration status applying for Tier 2 General need an unrestricted CoS or restricted? Or these applicants are counted among restricted entry or not? Applicants with Tier 4 status do not and it is clearly stated but not sure about PSW immigrants.
A reference to UKBA document for the information given in Para 3 of Tier 1 PSW column of this link:

Thanks. |

Thank you very much manci. Solves all the problem related to this post.
Can I bother you with another query?
I am confused that whether PSW visa holders have to show maintenance money for 90 days or not? The confusion was with their wordings in the guidelines document. Thank you. |

Just to add to this, as I will be making my application soon too. (instead of starting a brand new thread!)
1. Maintenance fund. A few months ago I read on the UKBA website that if switching from PSW to Tier 2 General you dont have to show this. But now i can't seem to find this anywhere on the website or the guidance docs. I guess this has changed?
2. My company has applied for the sponsorship registry. And they haven't heard back yet. Any idea on time scales for this?
Thanks.
(and sorry for hijacking this thread!) |

Thanks Manci. I guess i've posted a fresh thread again with a few more questions.
As for the maintenance fund I have had the £900 for while, so should be fine when i make my application.
As for the timing, guess i have to just wait

Manci, do you know what will happen if the employer has assigned a PSW holder (not a dependent of PSW holder) a restricted CoS and was granted it? |

Well, they made a mistake assuming that you are in the UK on a PSW visa. Ask the employer to ring the helpline (0300 123 4699) to find out what they should do. I think the helpline will suggest to assign a new unrestricted T2G CoS to you. Hopefully they have a spare allocation for the current year |
