Tier 2 to ILR general to shortage occupation

karthiyegga · Post by **karthiyegga** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 8:54 pm

I am on my extended tier 2 general visa and qualify for ILR application next year. I did not apply for shortage occupation when extending my visa. My job now qualifies for shortage occupation code under 2136 for the new rule as senior developer with 5 year experience. Am I exempt from the minimum salary threshold while applying?

Do you know when your job code was added to shortage occupation list? Was it before or after your tier 2 application approval?

If it’s added after your approval I think you may be ok to apply ILR under shortage occupation list. Can you let know what your gross annual salary and number of working

It was added before my tier 2 general extension. But I din not apply via that route,

I guess that the annual salary of a senior developer should be more than 35K.. so there should not be any problem for you.

due to some issues, if not is it alright to state the job as shortage ocucpation while applying ILR?
