RCOS application-Getting back into UK on Tier2 after leaving

[Prajvin]

Dear All

First of all i would like to thank the moderators and active members of this thread. It has helped me a lot in my journey of Tier 2 applications so far.

I was working in the UK on a Tier 2 last year and i had to leave the country because i had to come back home to India. I left the country on the 14th of November 2015 and i have all the proofs of leaving the country on that day like Tickets and boarding passes.

I might get another job offer in the UK and i was wondering, when i am eligible for applying for another Tier 2 after the cooling off period. Can i apply on the during the November session or Should i wait till December 2016 to apply for my RCOS(Out of country application). The labour market test can happen before or should it only happen after the 14th of november?. I know the employer has to take care of this but they are not clear about the entire RCOS application as they have not dealt with any out of country applications.

Can you guys please guide me and help me with this. It would be really helpful.

Many Thanks in advance.

Regards

Cooling off period starts from the date you left the UK.

RLMT can be done now.

Thank you for your response CR001.

I left the country on the 14th of November last year. When should my company apply for an RCOS?

Can they apply during the November allocation (Would i be eligible since i only left the country on the 14th of november last year?) or should they wait for the December or January allocation decisions?

When can they actually send my application with all the documents to the homeoffice for requesting an RCOS? and during which allocation period?

This would be of great help.

Many Thanks

The important date for you is that you only APPLY for the VISA 12 months after you left.
