ISC - IMMIGRATION SURCHARGE

[anammahmud]

Dear All,

I have got tier 2 offer and my sponsor has issued a COS without paying IMMIGRATION SURCHARGE. We are confused whether I need to pay ISC. My situation as below:

-My previous TIER 2 visa was curtailed on 16/03/2018 and have an outstanding application with UKVI. I will defer that application by new TIER 2 application. As my previous cos was issued without paying IHS and my understanding is I don't need to pay IHS now;

Please advise on immigration rules and will be appreciated.

Regards,

Mahmud

Hi there,

I did not paid NHS health surcharge when i applied for Tier2 visa in Jan 2015.

I applier for new Tier2 visa (change of employer) this month. Future employer paid for 3 year's NHS health surcharge i.e. £600. Future COS is for 3 year.

Hope that helps.

Do not confuse the two separate fee issues. There is the ISC - which is the Immigration SKILS Charge which employers pay and the IHS which is the Immigration Health Surcharge which the applicant pays.

Hi,
You mixed up the case, in fact ISC is IMMIGRATION SKILL CHARGE which I asked for. There is two different type of charge ISC and IHS; Immigration health surcharge must payable but skill charge does not have to pay by every one.

My question was in regrads to ISC not IHS.

Hi,

It really depends when your initial Tier 2 leave was granted,

ISC applies to a Tier 2 worker assigned a COS on or after 6 April 2017 in the Tier 2 (General) or Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer) routes


however

If your initial Tier 2 (General) leave was granted( COS generated) before 6 April 2017 and now you are getting a COS so you can apply from inside the UK to switch your employment to a different sponsor or to extend your Tier 2 stay, or then you are exempted from ISC.

Apologies for not getting your whole point. My Tier 2 visa was assigned before 6 April 2017 in the Tier 2 (General) routes. Switching employer this month. New employer didn't paid ISC.

Hi CR001,

what about for people who will be extending the Tier 2 G with the same employer?

Does employer need to pay for Immigration Skill charge when creating UCoS? please clarify?
