If you are looking to work in the UK under a Tier 2 General visa you will require a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) from a Tier 2 licensed sponsor. These sponsors are allowed to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship that allows workers to come to the UK under a Tier 2 General visa
The Certificate of Sponsorship is required to prove that the Tier 2 visa applicant is coming to the UK with a solid job offer and not just coming to look for work in the UK.
The system has a series of checks and balances which ensure that the Tier 2 sponsor business is adhering to all the correct policies in order to bring staff into work in the UK from abroad. They must satisfy the requirements that they have checked the local market and cannot hire the necessary talent from within it. It is this process that ensures the system is not abused and that the Tier 2 visa general visa migrants are required before they come to the country
Well there are several options, the first and usual way is to go onto the gov.uk website and check the list of valid sponsor holders. These businesses already have a licence to employ staff from abroad and will be able to issue you a Certificate of Sponsorship, you will also already understand that they already expressed a wish to bring in stuff from abroad and that your current status is not going to be an issue for them in the hiring process
The alternative way is to search through job boards, there are many in the UK and most of them are based on the internet, you may be able to use search filters on some of these websites so that you can find companies that are Tier 2 sponsor licence holders, but this is generally a blunt instrument and it is very time consuming to try and find a job this way.
There is also an option where Tier 2 General visa holders find a job via an agency which specialises in the employment of migrants on a tier 2 visa, or by using the gov.uk website using the list of sponsor holders and contacting the companies generally by their websites directly. This ensures that the employer that they are dealing with is able to issue them a Certificate of Sponsorship and that they will be able to offer them employment and sponsor their visa application to live and work in the UK for the period defined on their Biometric Residence Permit.
There are also other criteria that you will need to satisfy in order to be eligible for a Tier 2 General visa, among these are minimum earnings requirements and the ability to support yourself whilst in the UK. If you have any dependents you will also need to provide proof that you can support them for your stay in the UK. On top of these requirements you will also need to prove your level of English language skill and there are several ways in which that can be done. Depending on your education history and whether you have passed any particular language tests the most common test used is the cefr and you will need to reach at least the minimum level in order to be able to make up the point requirement of the Tier 2 General visa application
Yes you will need to satisfy all the requirements of the Tier 2 General visa application but the main part of this is having a Certificate of Sponsorship from a tier 2 licence holder.
The main criteria is dependent on the Tier 2 licence holder themselves as they are required to keep significant amounts of records pertaining to your stay in the UK. They are responsible for the record keeping of what you do and where you go whilst you are here, and are responsible for informing the home office of any changes to your status that may affect your eligibility to hold your Tier 2 licence Biometric Residence Permit.
It is possible to switch employers once you are have your Tier 2 General visa but you will need to make an alternative application for a new visa that is reliant upon the new Certificate of Sponsorship that you are given from the new visa holding company
Unfortunately the system is not straightforward for those who want to switch jobs and this is due to the amount of paperwork that is needed to keep tabs on people whilst they are working in the UK. It is for this reason that when you leave the employment of one Tier 2 sponsor licence holder you need to make a brand new application with a Certificate of Sponsorship from your new prospective employer. this is awkward and is likely to change with the impending changes that brexit will bring to the UK and it's requirement for migrant labour in the country, but for now this is the system that we have in place there are no plans currently working their way through Parliament to change the system. You should expect that this will be the system for the next several years at least until the end of the current Parliament.
As specialist immigration solicitors we have a history of dealing with people who are looking for Tier 2 sponsored work. We can help put you in touch with the appropriate agencies and assist you in submitting your visa application for coming to the UK once you have gained a Certificate of Sponsorship.

Tier 1 Investor Visa - Business Immigration
Investing
over 2 million pounds is defintely not a routine decision. We had to make sure that the Tier 1
investor immigration lawyers that we'd be picking
has to be one of the best within the Tier 1 investor category. We contacted Reiss Edwards and they
were able to get us not only the Tier 1 investor visa but
also suggested profitable investment portfolios in addition to what we already had in mind.
Indefinite Leave to remain - UK Settlement and
Naturalisation
I am glad that i instructed Reiss Edwards on my visa matter. It started with a 20 minutes free
immigration advice. I met with Amar to discuss my ILR refusal. He gave me a great deal of
quality advice and decided to take on my messy case. I had doubts on the merits of my case by he was
relatively convinced
he could win it. That made me quite secure. To be honest, things did not start as quick as I would
have wanted, but they kept on communicating the process and state of things
to me.A big thank you to Verusha and Foram. They were also very helpful. Brilliant and informative.
Their fee was fair and reasonable, especially if you compare them to other law firms and immigration
law firms in London; some of whom even told me that i would not be able to get an indefinte leave to
remain in this country.
The process was long but was worth it. In the end, a big thank you to Reiss Edwards.
Citizenship Application - UK Naturalisation
TI have just had British Citizenship application approved. Prior to making the application, i was not
sure which law firm
i should hire to facilitate the paperwork. After a few hours of research, i decided to go with Reiss
Edwards and i must confess that
i wasnt disappointed. The immigration lawyers at Reiss Edwards handled my case well and they really
knew what they were doing. They were fully
aware of what documents I needed and it was easy for them to tell if my case was going to be easy or
not. At the end of the day, I have not received my British citizenship within 3 months. If anyone is
looking for a good immigration lawyer to handle thier case, contact Reiss Edwards.
Spouse Visa - Appeals and visa refusals
Fantastic Solicitors!!!
My wife's spouse visa extension application was refused by the Home Office and they gave her 14 days
to leave the country.
We contacted Reiss Edwards and they said "OK don't worry we will sort this out". They put together the
list of documents
for me to obtain and they prepared a bundle which was as thick as the printer it came out from.We
followed everything they asked us to do and in the end we won our appeal and got our spouse visa. We
can't recommend them enough and we have promised ourselves never to make any more UK visa applications
without them.

UK Settlement Visa
I contacted Reiss Edwards to help me with my wife�s UK settlement visa. They acted with utmost
professionalism throughout the entire application. I spoke with Joe Dinh, he is an immigration
solicitor and he is one of the best solicitors out there. He ensured that there was little to no room
for error. At some point I thought he was over cautious. He remained calmed and continued to assure us
on our immigration matter. Most people in his position would have panicked but he was calmed and
continued to assure us. We received out positive outcome very quickly.

up from the Home Office, they helped resolve the issue properly. They are very professional and are
very popular in London. I am happy to have worked with them.
Indefinte Leave to remain - Individual Immigration - UK Settlement
visa
It's a shame that you dont have an 'Excellent' star rating on here, as my experience with Reiss
Edwards is nothing short
of an excellent rating. They handled my application for an Indefinite Leave to remain in April 2014
and did my husband's one
very recently including my daughter. Every time i have approached them, they have continued to treat
me with courtesy,
respect and patience. Amar was indeed a very thorough and professional gentleman. He is very
knowledgeable, corporative and
engaging. He responded to my emails, calls and enquiries promptly. He was always reassuring. I could
not have asked for a better
Immigration service. I would recommend them over and over again for anyone looking for an immigration
advice.
They gave me a free immigration advice when i called them, and the quality of the advice was something
other charge thousands for.
If you need a particular, name, Amar would be it. He exemplifies, for me, the true, professional
gentleman.
He is a valuable asset to Reiss Edwards.
Tier 2 Visa application - UK Work Visas
This is the only firm that i spoke with that didn't ask for money before listening to me, will be
using them again.
I used Reiss Edwards for my Tier 2 visa application and it was successful. The team was ever present
and happy to answer my question. The caseworker that dealing with my case went on holiday yet by case
did not suffer one bit. Another lawyer stepped and took
over the case without any hassle.
Tier 1 Investor Visa - Business Immigration
My Tier 1 Investor Visa was dealt with quickly and without issue. Would recommend Reiss Edwards as an
Immigration law firm in London. Thank you to the team.
