Hi everyone. Just to keep things up to date. The company B has applied for the license and currently waiting for a response. I have a question though. Company A has checked the SMS. My CoS appears as "used" / "expired". Is this right? My application with that CoS was succesful an...
Sorry. I think I went too long again. I read other threads and will try to be more punctual Question 5 What post(s) do you intend to assign a CoS for? This information must include: a. The job title(s) and SOC code(s); b. The duties of each post; c. The salary you would guarantee for each post. if i...
Thanks again Frontier Mole ok. If that's not going to affect things then I'll not prevent them from putting my personal info. I'm sorry. Some of the questions they ask seem open and the tendency is to put detailed info. Regarding question 4 4. Please supply an up to date hierarchy chart detailing an...
It is of no consequence to add your details. The licence is granted or not on the basis of the Sponsor information. The need for the licence does not determine if it is granted or not either. Thanks a lot for your reply Frontier Mole I am only worried about whether it would be detrimental to have m...
UKVI will not take any notice of an explanatory letter... Don't waste your time on that Thanks Frontier Mole. I will advise not to mention the previous application then. On question 1 my employers intend to state that the reason for applying for a license is TUPE, companies consolidating etc. as yo...
Question 1- yes state the reason as TUPE merger etc Question 2 - do NOT do anything on Company A SMS until Company B is licensed. UKVI will perform the internal SMS move on their side of the fence. Hello again. I have a (hopefully) last question: Would it be wise to mention on the application cover...
Frontier Mole, thank you so much for your help. I will advice the company to give those reasons and to give detailed info about me including roles, salary, etc. Hopefully things will go without issues this time around. Will keep you posted. Thanks again. Your suggestions have been a great help :)
Hi everyone I apologise. I realise my last post was too extensive. I am a bit stressed by this and want to advise my employers properly. The license for company B was rejected, as a document was missing, in this case a cover letter with information about the company (Page 3 Appendix A) https://www.g...
Hi guys Things are getting a bit trickier here and I need urgent help. As you know the info regarding COMPANY A and COMPANY B. Company B received a letter from UKVI stating that the application was rejected. As follows Your application for a tier 2 sponsor license was rejected for the following reas...
Hi guys. Just read about this and it looks a bit scary. Especially rising the threshold to £30,000 for experienced workers. The question would be whether this rules will affect only new applicants or you have to earn more even if you are already a tier 2 worker (?) Same thing with extensions. If you...
Hi guys Didn't want to bother with this thread too much. However, I just wanted to ask: An application for the License of company B was sent on the 18th. Both Companies A and B are waiting for the approval of this license before doing the actual transfer (company A logging into the SMS and reportin...
Your employer needs to log in to the SMS and inform UKVI about your change of salary doing a report. Apart from that no need to generate a new CoS. Is it a good practice or is it mandatory? Part of the Sponsor Duties. Page 48 "Reporting Duties". Everything should be followed imo https://w...

Hi Many Thanks for the reply. Very much appreciated. Actually, both companies have followed the TUPE transfer procedure for all employees but I am wondering do they specifically have to report for Teir 2 employee transfers or would it be ok if home office is been informed as part of all employees? ...
Did your sponsor company (A) report the intention of transferring you to company B due to takeover? Did company B report the intention of taking you on board? I don't know what would constitute evidence of TUPE apart from this. I believe UKVI should have been specific about what they wanted to see. ...
I am sure it will be fine. It is not an uncommon instance and UKVI are used to dealing with it. You can expect about a 60% chance the new Sponosr to get a pre licence visit. But don't worry about it if there is a visit. Your circumstances are unlikely to change. Your company appears to have it in h...
For the purposes of Tier 2 members voluntary or winding up is the same. Insolvency by any means causes the legal entity to cease. So quoting all the other stuff is of no consequence. Bottom line - are you transferring over to the new company on TUPE If yes then as long as new company has applied fo...
When a company becomes insolvent / goes in liquidation a different set of rules comes into play. So if the liquidation takes place it is not a merger or a takeover. For your own purposes you want to be transferred under TUPE, if this does not apply then it becomes really messy. On a takeover / merg...
Hi everyone. As the OP of this, I wanted to ask a couple of more questions regarding this as the company reestructuring is getting closer. The situation is: - Company A and company B have the same owners/directors and function at the same premises. - I am currently working under company A which is a...
Salary means a range stated in numbers (between 23k and 30k a year for example). Something quantitative (a number) and not qualitative (a word like "competitive", which does not indicate whether the salary will fulfil the requirements). Job posts normally have that amount. It tells prospec...
Well. Reading about it it seems like this 35K threshold would be detrimental not only to tier 2 workers but also to the UK economy in general. I wanted to share a couple of links here, as there is already a debate set for the 7th of March and people are being encouraged to write to their MPs and kee...
I am a Colombian National living in London as a Tier 2 skilled worker. My sponsor company works a lot with corporate events and will want to have me traveling to events in countries in Europe such as Germany, Spain and France. I understand that Colombians don't require a Schengen VISA any longer, bu...
