Quire about COS code

[cool_07]

Hi All

I am on my PSW visa which is gone expire on FEB 2013 and hoping to switch to TIER 2(General). So my question is
1) What will be the SOC Code for Software Test Engineer and salary expected ?
2) What is the General Time line for getting the Sponsor License ( your company have already applied in MAY 2012)?

The question and answer related to obtaining a sponsor licence in the UK, not a visa in the US

It is the job that must be at NQF 6 level (which Test Analyst is) but this doesn't mean that you have to be educated to this level.

It is the employer's responsibility to determine the appropriate SOC code for the job and he must pay you the minimum salary prescribed.

Hi All

If any one can help me with few quires it will be wonderful.

1. Do i need to have appropriate salary for min 6 months before applying the application(a.k.a my visa i gone expire on FEB 2013 so do i need to have X amount of salary from now?)

2. What is documents we need to show that i am working?

Thanks for all the reply but still i have one confusion that is as it is my first job after finishing degree but by the time i will apply for my TIER 2 visa(i.e in FEB 2013) i will be with the same company for an year so can i able to use the SOC code for a graduate Engineer or i have to use SOC code for TEST ANALYSIS in my visa application.

You need a CoS for your leave to remain application. The SOC code will be in the CoS and the employer will decide what it should be.
