Thanks! I still dont understand...do I need to meet the financial requirements, eg 18600 a year or do I need to show the adequate maintenance? If I need to show the adequate maintenance, then can I calculate child related and housing related benefits into this amount or will that mean that my child...

Oh my goodness - Look at this please anybody with an interest. This is a pdf briefing note from nicem.org.uk/ http://tinyurl.com/q83men4 "For senior care workers who have only held a Tier 2 visa, this will be £7.80 per hour. Those who entered on a work permit and then switched to Tier 2 will fa...

Ah.....Thank you. I have been studying Appendix J and the penny has finally dropped in my head.
At least we have a few weeks to sort something out.

Will these affect people who are under old WorkPermit from 2008 or only who will be coming into the new PBS from 2011/2012? Can somebody advice please?
