1. Have you applied before the expiry of your PSW leave on 27 October? 4. Without having seen the documents it appears that a mistake may have been made by the caseworker. Try to contact the caseworker by phone if there is a direct phone number on the letter and also by email if there is a full nam...

1. what is the expiry date of your PSW visa? 2. what is the date of the refusal letter 3. have you been given right of appeal? 4. have you tried contacting the caseworker whose name is on the refusal letter? 1.

Hi, I’m currently on PSW and will be switching to Tier 2 (General). My visa expires in Feb 2013 and my company has already provided with COS. I have few doubts before I submit my application. 1. Currently my salary is 26k however I will be paid 30k in future as required under the SOC code 2132 (Net...

Looks like the case worker thought that you don't come under SOC 3411. Does your job description tally with 3411 description? yes, quite very closely actually. and it doesnt say that they thought that i didnt come under the SOC code. they quite plainly say that it's not NQF 6 therefore have decline...

Hi hashmil, Sorry about the visa thing. I looked at your situation. I think in Section R document, it saids From 14 June 2012 applicants under Tier 2 (General) or Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) must have an offer of a job at or above NQF 6 if they are:  applying from abroad; or  applying to swit...

Para 77E sets out that jobs must be at nqf level 6 or above unless an exception applies, and switching from psw is not one of them. Hey greenie, that para also states that it can be NQF4(creative). which was my job code (the very code i used was in that para as well). yes, today i received my refus...

So I'm switching from Tier 1 PSW to tier 2 general. Had the whole sponsorship registration delay shinanigans. Been there, done that, got the shirt. Was hoping that everything was in place, as i double and triple checked everything down to the NQF requirements. But after all that trouble and pain got...

Bad news guys. UKBA managed to put together my COS with my application. however, they have refused is because my COS isn't a NQF 6. It is a NQF 4(creative sector). HOWEVER, on the Tier 2 guidence doc they say this: Applications for entry Clearance or switching into tier 2 (General) 64.If you are app...

Hi all, God is great, guys i got my visa today. I received my passport and other supporting document back with a letter confirming that my application has been successful and i should expect to receive my Bio metric card in the next few days. Which they already try to delivery me yesterday. I am ve...

Does the SMS ever crash? My head of HR or whatever claims it crashed on him when he was in the middle of completing my CoS. I have every reason to doubt his story. Kate to be fair i heard someone else had a similar issue with the initial application forms. but what i think it should be a technical ...

dears, My company applied on July i think and they They have told me today morning that they started to receive email about their system login for the government website. Should i consider this as an indicator that they will receive the license? The website i am referring to is the official UKBA ap...

No Idea about it Priyanka, As I work as Software Engineer and one of my friend has same position and applied for Tier 2 switching from PSW in last april. He got his visa in july. So I am sure my position would be fine for this visa category. What position are you working on? I think from june the r...

Could anyone please let me know which CoS is needed. I am switching from PSW to Tier 2 (general).

Unrestricted. This is what i did too.

Hello Guys, An other update on my application. Today my HR manager received a call from UKBA regarding my COS. They had a query regarding my salary. According to UKBA for the qualification i have, the salary is less. My HR manger relied them with the appropriate answer as we consulted with the sala...

Also i think they must have done RMLT in june, will they need to redo? As it is approx 6 months.

also, if you are switching from tier 1 - PSW you'd need unrestricted.

Hi, I'm on a Tier2 General - and my visa is about to expire next Friday & don't have a COS. My HR has given a covering letter to me addressed to the UKBA. My question is, do i need to get it attested ? Its on the company letter head and signed and stamped so should be ok, right ? Yep, well that's w...

The issue is that I am changing jobs and had to give notice at my last job in April, and have not been able to work since the end of August. My previous Tier 2 has not been curtailed, however. I would be in a better position if it were!!! We don't seem to satisfy the criteria for urgent considerati...

Has anyone actually had their application for sponsorship approved recently??? Have they finished July applications, or are they still being considered? Anyone applying in August heard owt yet??? Thanks all, Kate Kate, i wouldn't worry too much about finding out which dates they are currently proce...
