Please help me understand what is restricted COS and RLMT.
The T2 sponsor has to apply for a restricted Certificate of Sponsorship if they wish to employ somebody who requires entry clearance, i.e. who is resident abroad. There is a monthly quota for restricted CoSs. RLMT (resident labour market test), which takes 28 days to do, is also needed before the restricted CoS can be applied for unless the job is on the shortage occupation list or the annual salary is £152,100 or more.
As I was on Tier-1 till Dec 2012, am I supposed to under go cool off period before I apply for Tier-2 ICT. no, cooling-off only applies to applicants for Tier 2 General visas who had Tier 2 leave previously.
Thank you.
