You just need that number as far as i know, they won't send any letter or certificate.

Q2) Are those above details correct ?

I am not sure about the question i asked in my previous post!

Q3) Do i need any letter from my company ?

you might need a letter confirming about maintenance i think...

Q4) i have dependent, so do she need to show any documents ?
Never mind!!!

They already Tick in COS for funds, so i will write just a covering letter, as i had seen in Dependant application > there a question says

-----------------
M11; As your maintenance is being certified by the Tier 2 sponsor, please tick one of the
following boxes:

[ ^ ] I confirm that the A-rated sponsor has certified maintenance for me on the
main applicant’s Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)

[ ] I confirm that the A-rated sponsor has certified maintenance for me in a
letter
---------------------

So my dependent will choose first one > as it has Tick in COS in SMS,

I don't think i need a separate letter, but i can get printout of that filled and final COS page generated with all details.

Can I ask a stupid question please ..

Does the company necessarily have to start paying the employee the exact amount/salary entered in CoS application - before a CoS No. is generated?

Or is it ok if my company give me a pay rise after (as per SOC salary entered in CoS application) when I apply for T2 visa ?

Because my company wants to start paying as per SoC salary only during the month of my visa application.


Kindly help,

thanks.

I don't think it's a problem until your company states that in a letter, and if possible try to add your latest Pay slip, let others also suggest !!!!
