Tier 2 General Extension Refused due to salary

[SyedArif]

I applied for Tier 2 extension visa after successful completion of my three years. My employer has Tier 2 General. We didnt notice the minimum salary of the SOC I applied which was £38000. My salary was £34,000. My application has been refused due to not meeting the requirement. My organization has now increased the salary after salary reviews that matches and fullfill UKBA condition of minimum 38000. I am now making fresh application. Can UKBA put any other objection that why we were not informed about the raise or employer has to to labor market test etc. Please advice. Syed

Don't think HO will ask that

What is your code and what was your working hour?

Hi Syed
Make sure your hours matches to your Soc codes experienced worker salary. And your employer don't need to do labour market test as this is an extension for the same worker working in same organisation and with same job code. But I would suggest this time you do priority visa application. And also if your visa has expired on the time of 2nd application you're not allow to work while your visa is in process.
I have same situation and I did fresh application but unfortunately I couldn't do priority application. So I am now awaiting for my decision and this waiting is very stressful
