Need information about resident labour test and COS

Post by hsyasin » Thu Nov 11, 2010 9:36 pm

Hi,
The thing is, i think that my employer hasnt given an addvertisement for my job yet(i really hope m wrong).. and now he is on a business trip to australia for a few weeks and will come back on 24th Nov.. And now my visa is expiring on 9th Feb 2011 and we were told by HO that my employer has to apply for COS just 60days before visa expiry not more, not less..
Now m on PSW and I've read on earlier posts that still employer have to take resident labour market test which has to be for 28days.
So, now am I in trouble or should i tell my employer when he comes back on 24th to immediately put add for job for 28 days and then send COS request after that, which will be less than 60days period before my visa expiry?
I'm very worried, i wish someone can guide me here properly or give any suggestion.

I've already read this, thats the reason i asked a question to experts..
my question again is, is it ok if my employer sends a request for COS for me if my visa expiry is less than 60days?

How do I complete a resident labour market test? wrote:If you want to sponsor a migrant to do a job that you have advertised under the resident labour market test, you must assign the certificate of sponsorship no more than 6 months after you first advertised the job. (If the vacancy has been advertised in 2 stages, as described above, you must assign the certificate of sponsorship within 6 months of the date when the 1st of the 2 advertisements appeared.)
