Is Resident Labout Market Test Required???

Post by humdard12 » Thu May 03, 2012 10:07 pm

Hi there,

I'd be grateful for your early response.

I'm currently in the UK on Tier 2 General. This week I've secured a new job offer and I require a CoS from new employer. This job was advertised openly on the company's website for more than 4 weeks. I wonder whether my new employer needs to undertake RLMT.

Do they have to re-announce this job on Jobcentre for 4 weeks?

Can the new employer find an excuse not to undertake RLMT?

Thanking you in advance for your response.

If RLMT is a requirement for CoS, then there is no way /excuse of escaping it.

See also (clause 85 of the) Tier 2 policy guidance and The resident labour market test.

Thanks sushdmehta.

Will the job need to be announced in Jobcentre? It'll take another 28 days.
