I was granted Tier 2 General visa after April 2011, switched from PSW. I was reading about extension and there seems to be contradiction information about need of Resident labour for extension. 1. The tier 2 policy guidance says. For same job role, employer no resident labour is required.Point198 ht...

Yes, I did put it on the previous application and it was rejected based on wrong dates on the CoS. The sponsorship portal shows the old CoS as used.

I have decided to notify UKBA with my old CoS, don't want to give them a reason to reject my second application. Can I just confirm if this is the application form to do so ?

Please suggest.

Hi lucapooka

I have made the application with a new CoS. In my new Tier 2 application form I haven't entered the old CoS in section J2.

I was wondering if the above link to application is the way to notify UKBA about old CoS.

Is this the application form to notify about the old CoS to UKBA ?

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... stanc2.pdf

I have already made the application without the old CoS and didn't add any covering letter.

I just got the old CoS back,

What would you suggest me to do ? Is there a way I could notify UKBA about the old CoS ?

I am going to reapply Tier 2 application and I have a a question On the application under section J. its asks for CoS number. Also it asks for previous CoS. My previous Tier 2 application was rejected because of wrong CoS, am I supposed to enter the rejected CoS ? I am asking this because I don't ha...

Sorry, a little lost here.

Does this discussion mean that my application shouldn't have been rejected ?

-sushdmehta Sorry but what is an OP ?

I have re read the guidance and it sates that the application has to be made 3 months within the start date of employment on CoS. I would recommend everyone to follow that.

Its now 2 weeks and my employer still hasn't been granted additional CoS.

How does that work ? Can each case worker bend the rules at will ?

How is it possible ? My application got rejected because the date of Tier 2 application and the start date on CoS was not within 3 months. I applied on 10 September 2011 and start date on my unrestricted CoS was 19 January 2012. I am on PSW right now expiring on 20 January 2012. You period of grant ...

I assume it was done within 24 hours because the CoS wasn't used and withdrawn instead. I could be wrong.

Wonder if its the same as requesting for a fresh CoS.

My company was granted sponsorship and allowed to sponsor 1 employee in the first year. The CoS was generated and I used it for Tier 2 General application but it got rejected because the start date of employment on CoS was not within 3 months of date of application. Hence 1 CoS used. The employer ha...

-williamson321 - I think if you think that if particular SOC code is the closest match to your responsibilities & job description then it should be fine. 2132 for hardware engineer looks OK from the document you attached. The number of working hours has put me into doubt too as I will be generating ...

Just to confirm. Am I correct in my previous comment ?

In short. Since the CoS wasn't valid because of wrong start date, the salary wasn't taken into consideration at all.

I had applied for Tier 2 General application and I got the rejection letter today. In Points I received two attributes with 0 points and I'm confused if rejection of Sponsorship Attribute lead to rejection of Appropriate Salary CoS. This is what my the letter says. 1. Sponsorship Attribute - 0 point...

thanks my friend.

Hi thanks for your response. It got rejected because the application was made 3 months before the start date of the employment on the CoS. My employer has just requested for an additional Cos. Waiting for it to come through, if at all it comes. In addition to sending a request from online portal, di...

Brilliant mate, enjoy your time at home.

If only you can pop into the forum time and again during your holiday. It would be helpful :D

Hi madona, I just went to my employer and applied for a request for another license. May I ask if your level 1 user was notified by email about the allocation of additional license. Or does the user have to keep checking the online portal ? It was my mistake actually. I did read the policy guidance ...

Hi Madona, Thanks for your reply. Yes, my PSW visa is expiring on the 20 Jan 2012 and the CoS had start date form 19 Jan 2012. This CoS was generated on the 27 of August and I made my application on 10 of September. But UBKA want the application to be made within 3 months of the start date on the Co...

Hi Tier 2 visa,

My visa got rejected. May I ask how did your company request for an additional CoS ? Is it done through the portal ?

Could you please specify the steps. I will speak to my employer about the procedure to follow.

Eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

Just got all my reply from UKBA with all the documents. The first line of the letter in body and underlined says that 'You don't have a right to appeal against this decision' and the reason they have given is ' Your application was made more than 3 months before the start date of your proposed emplo...

I applied for Tier 2 application and have received a letter from UKBA 1. I had mentioned work address correspondence address from residential address in the application. But I got a letter from UKBA with Biometric details to my home address. Is it normal for them to send this to residential address ...
