New Certificate of Sponsorship issued after application submitted to correct errors

Post by mjr82 » Fri Sep 01, 2017 8:00 am

My situation is similar to that detailed in this thread:

uk-tier-2-employer-sponsored-visas/urge ... 09753.html

I submitted a premium application, appointment tomorrow. The above thread's applicant had their new employer submit the application, so our situations are slightly different.

My employer made several mistakes on the CoS I used to submit my application:
1. Used wrong SOC code. I'm a health economist who doesn't have any role in providing medical care, they chose a code that was for people who provide medical care.
2. Used wrong category of visa. Application was submitted under Tier 2 General - Extensions - ISC Exempt, when it should have been under Tier 2 General - Changes of Employment - ISC Exempt
3. They insisted on not using a PhD tier code (2119), which all my other employers have used to describe a health economist, and therefore needed to list Jobcentre Plus Jobmatch with ID. They didn't list this initially. Luckily, they actually did make a listing that I was able to find via a cached Google version using Google search.

I successfully got my new employer to withdraw the CoS, and issue a new one with all the necessary data. What I'd like to confirm is whether my employer needs to notify UKVI of this change in CoS, or whether a cover letter provided at my Premium appointment is sufficient tomorrow.

Best Wishes,
mjr

So when you submitted your online application, did you put details of your new or old CoS?

The application was made and appointment scheduled before the errors were rectified.

I called UKVI this morning to see what they had to say. They seemed to think I'd done everything I could, but I want to make sure that my sponsor has done everything they can, just to feel as secure as possible. UKVI advisors can be pretty inconsistent, too.

To be crystal clear, application was made with old CoS. I followed instructions from the linked thread in the original post. Manci is very helpful.

Success! Always tell your sponsor to send you the draft CoS first.
