PSW to Tier 2 same organisation different job dilemma!!!

Post by kb86 » Thu Jun 09, 2011 3:58 pm

Some please help me on this one, so confused!!

I might be moving to a new role with the organisation I have been working for over 14 months now, but it's a different position with a higher salary. My PSW runs out on 4th Dec 2011, so if start early July it would not have been 6 months in the new role. But I read this on the UKBA website and it seems to say that it should be with the same company not necessarily the same role, so very confusing. Does anyone have a proper answer please??!!

(ii) Existing employees

You do not need to complete a resident labour market test if the migrant is already employed by you in the same job, and currently has permission to stay in the UK under:

Tier 1 (Post-study work);
the International Graduates Scheme;
the Fresh Talent Working in Scotland Scheme; or
the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme.

Exemption (ii) applies only if:

you have employed the migrant in the UK continuously for at least 6 months immediately before they switch into the Tier 2 (General) category, although they do not need to have been in the same job for the full 6 months; or
the migrant has been absent on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or on long-term sick leave lasting for 1 month or longer, but has been employed by you for at least 6 months out of the last 18 months.
