CoS application - Job description? (URGENT)

Post by student04 » Fri Jul 07, 2017 11:51 am

Hi, I recently received CoS number from my employer. She filled in the online form while I was on the phone. From what I remember, I think she didn't write anything for Job Description, but instead just stated my job title. Will this be a problem?
I have booked a premium service appointment for next week.
If this is a problem, how do I get this changed? Do I contact my employer?

I am exempt from Labour Market Test. Will this help?

Job description matter. That is what is used to confirm that your SOC code is right. There are many industries that share same job titles and those job titles mean different things to different people.
I don't know if this will cause problem.
your job title alone is not enough to ascertain exemption from RLMT.

YOu can tell you employer to add a note to the CoS before your appointment. The note can include your job description. if possible, you can add a cover letter from the company.
being exempt from RLMT doesnt mean you should submit an incomplete application form.
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.

ask for a copy of cos.
if she were to add the JD, she would have done it herself and not asked u.. as its the employer's duty to do so.

Thank you both for your replies. I have another question. They won't reject my application straight away though right? If they think they require more information about my job description? Hopefully my employer can provide more detailed explanation. I am just worried that they might reject my application straight away.

(The reason why I am exempt from RLMT is because I just finished a degree in UK)
