what are the requirements for RLMT excemptions?

I recently became redundant and I am waiting for my curtailment letter. I was wondering how long it took you to receive your curtailment letter.

Curtailment letters can take a few months to get sent out.

According to a comment by picu in May 6 some people received it in couple of weeks which can be worrying. uk-tier-2-employer-sponsored-visas/tier ... 00176.html

I have limited time due to being redundant and I have an offer company that don’t have the sponsorship license. Never had. They are willing to sponsor me but I am not sure about the timeline. Is there a priority service for Tier 2 sponsorship license just like for Tier 2 visa application? Can I be hopeful to this position if I have 2 month left in my visa?

Hello

2 months seems too short to me. They won't get their license overnight. The process is explained here:

It will take the company some time to prepare all the documentation and define the key roles then they need to apply. The Home Office indicates a processing time around 8 weeks. I am not aware about any rush service for that.

Every immigrant has immunity from curtailment or deportation as per ukvi website till Jul 31 2020

what if you dont have covid symptoms after 2 weeks and your home country is fully operating? (no lock-down?)

Not sure what the previous user is claiming about immunity. There is no such thing.

If your visa expires or is curtailed, you must leave the UK by the relevant date.

I lost my Tier 2 job a few weeks ago and I am looking for new positions. I know that my job is in the shortage list and my salary range is more than 33k per annum. I checked and it seems to me that since I am in the UK and have all the mentioned criteria, I am exempt from RLMT but a company that I am interviewing with told me they had experienced in the past and they need to run RLMT for two months. I do not have that much time so I am just wondering if I am exempt from RLMT or not?

Rlmt is NOT required for a shortage occupation SOC.

When does your current visa expire?

Why don't you have time to wait if they want to rlmt?

I have around 60 days on my visa. The thing is if they advertise the role, I think in this situation, it is very unlikely for them to prove no one was qualified especially given the job market at the moment and the fact that I don't have many years of experience. what if you are younger than 26? Do you think that can be helpful for exemption?

Your age is irrelevant.

A shortage occupation has no rlmt requirment.

Perhaps it is the company themselves that want assurance if advertising for the best possible candidate before employing someone, as they might have had a bad experience in the past with a potential tier 2 migrant.

If this is the case, then there isn't anything you can do to convince them otherwise.
