Re: PSW to Tier 2 (general) - question about salary

Hi, My tier 1 PSW expires on February 11, 2013. I have recently been promoted and now satisfy NQF 6 job description as well as salary. However, I do not get my first increased salary until end of January. I have been working for the same organisation for the last 2 years. My question is - in order ...

Based on my reading of the Immigration Rules (Appendix A), any applications submitted in that 28 day 'grace' period would no longer benefit from the exemption from the requirement to advertise the post. that is correct - it is also in para 89 of the T2 policy guidance. Bobby - if for whetever reaso...

I need to talk with her and issue a new cos letter. A CoS is not a letter but an electronically generated number that your HR lady will obtain when sh...

If your friend applied for his T2 ICT visa after 5 April 2010 then the 5 year qualifying period for ILR will only start from the time he gets his new T2G leave.

one more doubt, does 28 days rule will apply for PSW TO TIER 2 general (switch)? Yes, you must apply within 28 days of the expiry of your visa. However, if you can, you should apply before your PSW visa expires because you will not get a right of appeal if you apply within the 28 day window and the...

You will need a new CoS because amendments to an unused CoS are only allowed if they don't affect the decision. On SOC code 2132 and a 38 hour week the min. salary would be: 31200 * 38/37.5 = 31616 In the new CoS your employer should either increase your annual salary to at least this figure or keep...

Thank you for all your answers. very useful. One last question. Does the termination reason have any bearing on whether you may obtain another COS? Whether an employer wants to employ you is only a matter between you and the company Can the UKBA not grant a new visa even though you may obtain a new...

The above advice is not correct. You applied for T2G on 13 September, it has therefore nothing to do with Alvi. Also, you applied for T2G, not PSW, therefore the NQF6 requirement, with appropriate salary, applies to you. The job you got the CoS for is SOC code 3131 which is not a NQF6 level job.
