Shortage occupation list

Post by satheesh1985 » Fri Nov 15, 2019 4:11 pm

Hi

When my company raised COS request in October, 2136 Programmers was not there in the Shortage Occupation list and home office granted restricted COS on 11th Nov 2019. But now 2136 is in shortage occupation list, should I still go ahead with the visa application and answer the question as job is not in shortage occupation list? or should I say yes to the question? But the COS I have got is restricted COS, so there is a conflict.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Not all roles in SOC 2136 are of shortage category
Have a read of the below

Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Thanks CR001.
Wasn't aware of the recent changes. I just went through the below:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... ation-list

It appears like Programmers/Software developers irrespective of industry are under shortage occupation list now. :o

2135 IT business analysts, architects and systems designers All jobs in this occupation code
2136 Programmers and software development professionals All jobs in this occupation code
