Tier 2 general visa application form Query

Hello All,

I am applying for tier 2 general visa. My COS is Tier 2 (General - New hires - restricted) valid for 5 years. I have query on application form , As my education qualification is not recognized by NARIC. I have given UKVI IELTS test.
1.is there any band cut off for VISA.
2.what answer I have to put in question for "How did you get your result"
certificate or online reference number?

Thanks in advance

The minimum needed score is 4.0 band. It is enough easy for who can read and post anything here

If you choose certificate:
You need to provide your certificate with your mandatory documents.

If you choose online reference number:
Just write the number and Home Office will able to validate it from IELTS. The ref number should start with “TRF”. I have done my application with this way but I also uploaded the certificate for any case.

Hello All,

I am applying for tier 2 general visa from India. My COS is Tier 2 (General - New hires - restricted) valid for 5 years. My COS has SOC code mentioned as 2123. While paying for IHS do I need to pay for Tier 2 General IHS or Tier 2 general shortage occupation IHS fee.

list of documents need to submit for Tier 2 general visa.

Thanks in Advance

While paying for IHS do I need to pay for Tier 2 General IHS or Tier 2 general shortage occupation IHS fee.

There is only one IHS fee for ALL visas. For a 5 year visa, it is £2000 IHS. The visa fee is separate to this. SOC 2123 is on both the shortage and non shortage occupation list. What does your CoS say it is? Did your employer have to do RLMT before offering you the job??

Thanks for reply. Just wanted to cross check that there is no cut off set every year for IELTS. It is same as
mentioned on GOV website.

Thanks for quick reply.
Below is information on VISA-
Tier and Category: Tier 2 (General - New hires - restricted)

Job type: 2123 Electrical engineers - Power system, control or
protection engineer in electricity industry
Is the job on the current shortage occupation list?: Y

Tick to confirm that the post is at the appropriate skill level as set out in

So you pay Tier 2 Shortage Occupation visa fees as your CoS states it is a shortage occupation. There is no discount for IHS though, you have to pay £2,000 for a 5 year visa application.

Thank you for quick help

Hello All,

My husband is applying for Tier2 general visa from India. In his passport in place of spouse name, my after marriage name is present . while my passport has my before marriage name. Will this create any issue. Do need to submit any self declaration or any document to support that both name belongs to same person?

No. You are overthinking. HO is not really interested in parents and or spouse names placed in Indian passports (a practice not done in most other countries passports).

Thanks for quick reply. Its very helpful. I know I am over thinking I just dont want to make any mistake in application.
