Switching Employers in Tier2G visa

Post by eurekaua » Wed May 13, 2015 10:56 am

Hi,

I currently have an active Tier2G sponsorship visa with my employer but due to the management issues I was rather forced to look for a new employer.

A new employer I found, was eager to make a sponsorship application but it was rejected with the reason:

"Apart from certain exceptions set out at paragraph 24.8 of the Guidance, migrants sponsored under Tier 2 (general) can only work in a skilled occupation at or above National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 6 (or the equivalent in Scotland). This does not mean that the person employed to fill the job must be educated to that level, it means that the work that person will do is pitched at the level.

From 14h June 2012 applicants entering Tier must have been offered a job which meets a National Qualifications Framework Level 6 on the Tier 2 Codes of Practice and the Tier 2 & 5 Policy Guidance for Sponsors."

What does it mean for me and employer? Does it make sense for them to reapply for sponsorship license?
Just to make sure, they applied for the same type of work I am doing now so I am confused how one employer managed to get the license and other - didn't.

Any advice is really appreciated.

what line of business is your future employer in?
For some reason, UKVI thought that the company does not need someone who is at NVQ level 6 job to conduct its business.
