Switching from tier1 to tier2

Post by Fzkhan » Sun Nov 19, 2017 7:28 pm

Hi I'm working as a doctor with one of the NHS hospitals since may 2016. Since my visa (tier 1 general- HSMP, judicial review) was expiring on 17th Nov, 2017, I applied for switching to tier 2, getting a sponsorship letter from employer ( Start date on sponsorship letter from 16th of oct, Labour market requirements- met). Visa has been refused, the employer did nt fullfil the requirement for advertising the job, got 0 point for that. Administrative review can be applied. When spoke to the manager , they told , since switching from tier 1 to tier 2, plus already in job, they think it is not required. My question, are there any exemptions from Labour market test, when switching from tier 1 to tier 2, plus already in job? If not now what to do from onwards, administrative review, if refused? New application? Thanks and best regards.

labour market test 28 days must be met. otherwise the sponsorship is not valid.
