Standard or Shortage occupation lust

Post by yazdanie » Sat Aug 11, 2018 8:50 pm

I have been sponsored under tier 2 general visa for 3 years to work as a sonographer with a salary of £35,000/anum.
How to know if it falls under standard or shortage occupation list, as it is not mentioned on a certificate of sponsorship.
I need some clarification because the visa fee of the occupations in standard and storage occupation lists are different.

If you fall under SOC2217, see the difference between non shortage and shortage occupation below. You would likely also need to ask your sponsor for clarity.
