Thanks for your advice.
While researching more on this topic, I came across a few HO guidelines. I figured out that at the stage of RCOS assignment by HR, around 18 columns are already prefilled by UKVI. This is on the basis of information submitted during RCOS application to UKVI. These colums include the question- Is the job in Shortage Occupation?
Now, when we checked with HR about this, we were told that this was answered No by them.
The job is undoubtedly in Shortage but this was not the basis of RCOS allocation.
Secondly, there are only very few amendments allowed in COS via the sponsor’s note. Mainly, salary increase/ decrease or change in start date.
In our case, would it be a problem to apply Tier 2 under Shortage occupation based on sponsors note when this was answered no during application fo RCOS.
Your valuable suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Regards
oh ok, so the RCoS is allocated as non-shortage one! that is interesting. Good atleast RCoS is allocated without rejection. Perhaps you salary range might have saved
Now for application, as per RCoS allocation it is non shortage, so we must go with non-shortage application payment, and as non shortage in the points section of the application. but the job code, title and etc qualifies shortage!!! I am preplexed
I am confused what to advise, as it is subtle situation. Either way if VISA officer dont like this, he might ask for an update before granting VISA, or in worst case - I dont want to say it!
Why dont you/Sponsor write to HO via their SMS route to check and get an absolute clarity on this?
