Tier 2 Application refused due to mistake, please help

Post by psharma » Sun Mar 23, 2014 2:04 pm

Currently, I am on a tier 4 visa which expires on April 30,2014. I applied for TIER 2 (general) visa on Feb 23, but got a refusal on March 27,2014. The refusal letter stated that I was not awarded any points for the sponsorship because the occupation was not listen under NQF level 6. However, I was awarded full points on all the other sections (relevant salary, English language requirement and funds) . The COS that was issued by the employer listed my job under the category of 3131 (IT operations technicians) - System Administrator, NQF level 4. I have spoken with my employer and they have accepted the fact that they made a mistake and are willing to issue a new COS with Job Type: 2139 (IT professionals not listed elsewhere) and NQF level 6. I have couple of questions :

[1] Since, my previous job title was system administrator, will the change in job title have any impact on the application ? Also, the salary rates for new Job type is - New entrant: £20,300* and Experienced: £28,400. Will my current salary of 25k per year be enough to secure points under relevant salary for me?

[2] Also is it a good idea to to ask the employer to write a letter on my behalf explaining the situation and enclose my previous refusal in the new application ?

[3] Is there any other areas that I have missed and should be careful about ?

The situation is really stressful for me and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please help.

No need to write any letter to explain the mistake.
This is points based system, reapply with the right nvq level, appropriate salary for SOC, ask your employer to give you a print out of CoS. If everything is ok and meets standards of ukba your new tier 2 visa will be approved.
