Hi forum
My friend has applied for Tier 2 visa extension yesterday - and we think he will run in some problem...
Last year, he applied for Tier 2 visa.
SOC code: 2136;
Designation/Title: Analyst Programmer;
Salary: £25513pa;
As he was switching from PSW to Tier 2, he was treated as a 'new entrant'. Hence, less salary was not a problem. His job is a yearly rolling contract. As such, he has to apply for a visa extension now. He is in same job. His current salary is £26274 and he works for 36hrs a week.
Unfortunately, for the question 'Is your job a shortage occupation?' he has filled in NO.
My doubts:
1. Was it inappropriate to fill NO for shortage occupation question? If so, what to do now? The application is already gone.
2. Is the salary £26274 (pro rata £28,463.50) okay - as he is just extending the current visa. Or does it have to meet the criteria for experienced worker, which is £29600 for SOC 2136.
Any light on this matter is highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
B
