Skilled Visa application COS errors

Post by Kavya belavadi » Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:44 pm

Hi there,
I have been given my COS after the solicitor booked the appointment. Now I see my Date of birth is wrong and I have been wrongly mentioned as a 'New entrant' but I am not a new entrant.
Now the solicitor added sponsor notes mentioning that I am not a new entrant and also mentioned the correct date of birth.

I am now concerned whether it would be considered a significant error or would be okay.

Can someone let me know if it is better to cancel the appointment and get a new COS or should the sponsor notes work?

Thank you!

If you were assumed to be a new entrant because of a mistyped date of birth in the CoS the sponsor note will have corrected that.

This is the guidance:

How to amend details entered on an assigned CoS
Minor error
You should use the ‘sponsor note’ field to amend minor errors identified after a CoS
has been assigned. This could be to put right a mistyped name or date of birth or to
change the start date of the job.
You can also use the ‘sponsor note’ field if there is any additional information that
you need to state with regard to the migrant and/or the CoS. For example, if the
CoS is for a Tier 5 (Religious Worker), you must explain how the resident labour
market test has been met by adding a sponsor note.
A ‘sponsor note’ can only be added to a CoS that is showing in your SMS account
with an ‘Assigned’ status.
Significant error
You must cancel a CoS and assign a new one if you have made a significant
error such as:
 the SOC code is wrong
 you have assigned it under the wrong tier or category
 you have given wrong details for more than one of the below:
o the migrant’s nationality
o the migrant’s date of birth
o the migrant’s surname

Hi thank you for reply!
The date of birth was a separate issue which was not related to them putting new entrant as yes. Yes I did go through that guidance document you have shared. And I shared the same to solicitor. He said it shouldn't be a prblem and said its a minor one. Salary threshold is not a problem. So if anyone had 2 corrections in sponsor note, it will be helpful to know what the outcome of application was.
Thank you
