Pre-selection and RLMT repeat

[rubyracer2]

While assigning the CoS for my T2G switching application, the HR has forgotten to add reference numbers to the RLMT field of the CoS. RLMT was done as per guidelines.

The application is already submitted and enroute to UKBA. Is it possible to add this information to the CoS now before they start considering it.

Bump. Would really appreciate a reply. Thanks

Hi, I am facing the same issue in my application. How did you go about it. Did you eventually get the VISA?

[Frontier Mole]

The best you can hope for is to get HR to add the information into the note field and keep your fingers crossed. Or withdraw and start again.

[rubyracer2]

The HR sent the information to the Home Office separately but they haven't considered it and refused the application

The lawyer wants to go for appeal but I am not optimistic of the chances of the appeal to succeed since Home Office rules specifically state that any new evidence would not be considered by the reviewer that was not seen by the original case worker. I am trying to convince them to make a fresh application

[rubyracer2]

Hi all,

My original Tier 2 was refused because the sponsor missed out listing the RMLT reference number and advert dates on the CoS. I have applied for admin review today with the missing information. Would the Home office reject it since the original caseworker has not seen this original evidence.

Also does an admin review for a priority application handled on priority or does that too follow the usual 28 day timeline?

Thanks in advance!

Admin review is for HO makes an error in an application that was refused. In your case, they don't appear to have made an error so are likely to ignore new information/evidence.

There is no 'priority admin review'.

Thanks Char that is what I suspected too. Due to my bad luck the original RLMT advert's 6 months expired after the CoS was assigned.

So I cannot make a fresh application based on that RLMT advert even though my sponsor followed the right procedure

[CR001]

Do you still have a valid visa?

Yes my current sponsor shut down but my visa has not been curtailed yet.

Hi Gurus,

Could you please throw some light around pre-selection in RLMT

If a visa is refused because the RLMT evidence was not provided (even though RLMT was done correctly) and subsequently RLMT had to be redone because of the 6 month deadline passing. Would the fresh application count as pre-selection even though the candidate was offered a job only after hundreds of EU/UK candidates applied during the first RLMT phase.

Thanks in advance.

So out of all those applications there was not a single suitable candidate?
Pre selection is going to be be a hard issue to overcome given the stated circumstances.

There were around 20 selected candidates out of which 17 were UK/EU candidates and 3 from non EEA region. My application had a mistake because of which I have to use the next RLMT reference information.

But the first RLMT was open for 5 months before they even offered the job to me.

Points to consider:

If there was one single individual that was or could have been deemed suitable from the UK/EEA applicants then the role could not have been offered to you.
The criteria is suitable, not the most suitable or best overall candidate.
If there were several roles and you were 1 of say 3 then it makes more sense as that would indicate that UK/EEA candidates were also selected.

Pre selection - a whole new RLMT has to be completed. Given you are already de facto their chosen candidate it does indicate the RLMT is unlikely to be fair and open plus it will ring genuine vacancy alarm bells.

Your previous role? Did your Sponsor lose their licence due to non genuine vacancy concerns? If that was the case expect a much higher level of scrutiny.

Hi FrontierMole Thanks for your answer. There were 20 candidates who got selected and were offered - this was out of hundreds who applied during the first rlmt phase of six months. Only 3 out of 20 were non EEA candidates. Due to my bad luck, the RLMT six month deadline passed after my first application was refused because RLMT reference numbers was not mentioned on CoS.

my previous role ended because the company shut down due to financial issues. It wasn't related to any concerns from the Home Office regarding sponsorship or genuine vacancy.
