Tier 2 Extension Application - SOC code - URGENT PLS

Post by anj1_Tier2Applicant » Wed Jun 10, 2015 8:16 am

Hi ALl,

I am on Tier 2 general Visa and my leave to remain expiring in Jan/2016. I would like to extend my visa with same employer and same job role, As per my previous COS:

Job Role: programmer
SOC Code: 2132

But When I see the soc codes list now, there is no 2132 but there is a 2136 code which matches to my role.

So what would be the right SOC code for new COS for extenstion ? 2132 or 2136 ?

Many Thanks,
Anj.

The SOC 2000 job code 2132 became three SOC codes in 2010: 2135, 2136 and 2139.
if your job description matches 2136 that is the SOC code to be chosen by your sponsor when assigning the new CoS

Hi manci,

Thank you for your reply. And very appriciate it for your contribution in this portal.

My Sponsor told me that, the Job role is same for previous COS and new COS. So they keen to put 2132 as SOC code in new COS also.
Would it be OK if they use 2132?


Many Thanks,
Anj.

No, 2132 is no longer a valid SOC code - refer them to Table 8 of App J of the immigration rules:
