Can tier 4 students graduating on July 2014 apply for tier 2

[akash_7869]

Hello there
I am currently finishing my master's dissertation and will graduate by July 2014. My concern is as follows.
1. If i apply Tier 2 general on august or september 2014 which will be for 3 years then after extending for 2 years later on 2017, will i be able to apply for settlement after 5 years on 2019?
2. If i work in tier 2 until 2019 then do i have to show 35K salary for settlement?

Any help will be appreciated
Thank you in advance

1. If i apply Tier 2 general on august or september 2014 which will be for 3 years then after extending for 2 years later on 2017, will i be able to apply for settlement after 5 years on 2019?

Ans: Yes, you can apply for settlement after spending 5yrs on Tier 2 general visa.

2. If i work in tier 2 until 2019 then do i have to show 35K salary for settlement?

Ans: As long as you meet the general requirement for your Tier 2 general first application and then second extension application, you will get your ILR with the same requirement after 5yrs.
