Thanks Greenie, you make it very clear. and thank you Manci as well, your comments were actually my concern, but it's all clear now regarding the £35K threshold.

By the way, so there are no other risks then?

Many thanks,
Jeffrey

Thanks John. Has anyone got any idea in terms of old WP transfering to Tier 2 and entitlement of settlement?

Hi guys, Thank you for reading this. I am currently a old work permit holder, i will be able to apply PR in 2013. But there might be a chance for me to join a very reputable company, and I therefore need to have a Tier 2 (General) visa in order for me to work for the new employer. Due to the new leg...

Hi all I have taken the letter only on the programmer and which is higher than my present salary and i got the success at belfast, Thanks, Pavani 07872065872. Hi Pavani, I am in the same situation. And my salary is lower than the most matched SOC code. Are you saying that your ILR was granted even ...

any idea?

As i understand we have to take Gross i.e. before any deductions for points calculation. Thanks, as I understand what you meant is that the amount of monday sacrificed would not affect the overall gross salary. but on the other hand, the money contributed/matched by the employer should not be count...

I see. Thanks.

Hi... I have a quick question about the minimum salary requirement.... What if Case 1: my actual salary (£31,000) at or above minimum salary requirement (£30,000), but I "sacrifice" 5% of my salary and put them into my pension account. So the salary credited into my current account is only...

I think I get you now. I just read another thread with a concern about the gap between entry clearance date and the actual date of entry.

But if you could still answer my question, it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Just noticed the policy document changed so that if your travel date is within 3 months of the visa start date you need not extend the visa twice before ILR.You can calculate 5 years from Visa start date. It was a bit cloudy before, but now the policy document explicity cover "delayed travel&q...

Probably a typing error. Shouldn't affect your ILR application, as you may apply up to 28 days prior to completion of your qualifying period. I hope so, but I still want to clarify it with Home Office cos what I am thinking is only FULL 5 years will be eligible for ILR, my visa doesn't show FULL 5 ...

any idea anyone please? my wife is very panic about that. Is the above contact detail useful? do you have any specific contact details. I really don't like HO's official reply, full of non-sense, not helpful at all.

1. U can apply 28 days before completing the required period. Hi mate, thanks for your reply. I know but I am worried about that the visa is literally 5 days less than 5 years, whether case worker will refuse it just because of this reason? I think the visa should have full 5 years period. They als...

I was shocked.........really really shocked........ I got my WP granted in July 2008 for 5 years (Permanent job, but 5 years period is the maximum for WP). I then applied for my WP visa and got my visa back in Aug 2008. I didn't really pay attention to the "day" because the numbers are com...

Hi guys, I think I need to post a new topic to highlight this very specific question. Any advice or opinions much appreciated. My title is Senior Environmental Consultant, my work permit was granted Aug 2008 within shortage occupation list (SOL) (contaminated land specialist). This title has been re...

forgot to say Congratulation !

If you are going down that road, you can also check the source quoted by UKBA within your particular code of practice. Chances are that its sourced from Office of National Statistics. On their website you will find relevant excel files based on relevant surveys. If your specific job title has not b...

jeffrey, It is difficult to guess what they immigration rules will be by the time you apply as they always say "you have to meet the rules at the time of application". I did not think that if you changed jobs now you will be subject to stricter requirements. I think some of the senior mem...

I just heard that Tier 2 granted after Apr 2011 will lose the connection with ILR, does that mean if I switch to Tier 2 now, I will be unable to apply ILR? Cheers, its under consideration at the moment and no final word has been forth coming from ukba. yes, what you have heard is one proposal in th...

Hi Kumar, I suppose my process would not be smooth. The SOC2010 code has been developed, and HO is not using it just because there is no salary data associated with the new codes. However, by 2013, when my work permit is due, it is very very likely that they will use the new SOC2010 with ASHE 2011 o...

any one could help with the above question? By the way, I just know there is a transitional arrangement. it says as follows • The new Tier 2 criteria (i.e. the requirement to be in a graduate level occupation, the new salary thresholds and the requirement to have competence in English language to le...

Thanks Kumar, but the only problem is that 3551 seems to be for public sector jobs (officer).

Fingers crossed for both of us.

one way of resolving this is identifying the SOC Code that closely matches your job and getting your employer to submit a Technical Change of employment notification with the correct job title matching the job code.I think the key thing is that the HO CW should be able to punch your code in the com...

You may use the nearest soc code which matches your current salary. Try 1212 for environment consultant where the salary requirement is 12.94/hr that is £25233 pa. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/graduate-cop/section-a.pdf?view=Binary H...
