Immigration skills charge applicable for Tier 4 Dependent holders?

Dear All,

I'm currently on a Tier 4 PBS dependent visa and I work as a full-time employee in the UK. If I need to be sponsored by my company with a Tier 2 General visa,

1. Will I have an exemption from the resident labour market test?
2. I work a s a Senior QA with 8+ years of experience and my responsibilities includes handling team(s), will this fall under Shortage occupation list ("2133 IT specialist managers")?
2. Are there any other assessments I need to be aware of?

Thanks

1. No you are not exempt from the RLMT as a Tier 4 dependent visa holder. You will only be exempt if it is a shortage occupation role.

2. Possibly. It is your sponsor that decides the correct SOC from either Appendix J or Appendix K based on your job description and role.

3. What do you mean 'assessments'??

Thanks for your immediate response.

3. I meant are they any other process I have to be aware of other than RLMT?

2. Should my job title say as "Manager" in it or if the job tasks/description defined in Appendix J or Appendix K match with my responsibility be sufficient?

This is for your employer to deal with when creating your Certificate of Sponsorship.

Thanks for getting back to my questions.
