•  UK Border Agency (UKBA) replaced the old-style
  work permit with the new Tier 2 (General) visa
  category for skilled workers in November 2008.
  The Tier 2 visa is a points based category and
  has much in common with the Tier 1. The main
  difference in the Tier 2 category is that in
  order to make a Tier 2 application, you must
  already have an offer of employment, and your
  employer must be willing to sponsor you.

11

• If your occupation is not on the shortage list,
  your employer must be able to demonstrate that
  the role cannot be filled by a suitably qualified
  or experienced resident worker. 1st Contact can
  assist you in an application providing you are
  qualified for the role on offer, the occupation
  is listed as a qualifying occupation for Tier 2
  and you meet the points criteria.

• How does it work?
• Tier 2 (General) is a points based category.
  Points are awarded for the following
• Qualifications
• Future expected earnings
• Sponsorship
• English language skills
• Available maintenance (funds).

13

• Step 1 Sponsorship Licence
• The first stage in applying for Tier 2 is
  undertaken by the employer. The employer must
  apply directly to the UK Border Agency for a
  Sponsorship Licence. The UK Border Agency will
  assess the organisation to ensure it is genuine
  and has an operating or trading presence in the
  UK. The companys Human Resource systems will be
  assessed, as will their compliance, civil
  penalties and criminal history. 

14

• Step 2 Certificate of Sponsorship
• Once the company has been approved as a sponsor
  they can then apply for a Certificate of
  Sponsorship (CoS) for the position they would
  like filled by a non-resident worker. If the
  position is not listed as a shortage occupation
  then advertising must have taken place prior to
  this CoS application in order to meet the
  resident labour market test. Once a CoS is
  assigned the migrant can apply for their visa.
