RLMT Exempt !

Post by janinah » Tue Dec 13, 2016 6:01 pm

Hi All,

I have a question regarding CoS issue. While issuing a Tier 2 (G) CoS to a existing employee who is under tier 4 student visa and recently degree. He meets SOC requirements with his current job title and duty. Now, as far i know he is exempted from RLMT. But, when trying to issue CoS to him, there is a question " is he meet RLMT ? " yes or no. Then next question in details. Which option i should select for him as he is exempt from RLMT. Should i just click yes then describe that he is exempted from RLMT or no then describe he is exempted from the test.
Please let me know...

Thanks

Why would you think he's exempt from RMLT? A new graduate doesn't seem to fit the bill unless he has some super talent...

There is a RLMT exemption for students moving from Tier 4 to Tier 2.
So the answer to question about whether Requirements for RLMT were met is YES. and for the explanation.
Just simply say Tier 4 to Tier 2 does not require RLMT
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.

Wrong advice. Any Tier 4 converting to Tier 2 who successfully obtained their degree is exempt.
I have a feeling this will be changed in the near future, but until then this has nothing to do with super talents...
