No it doesn't as the changes clearly state it is only applicable to a CoS issued on or after 6th October and for applications from that date for a visa.ifahds wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:27 pmI am in the same situation as you. My SOC is 2137 and now the job is on SOL.
My visa extension was granted in Jully 2019 and at the time 2137 was not on SOL. I am not sure if the exemption applies for me?
For you, it will be fine if you do the extension under 2137 shortage occupation. Ask your employer to mention this when generating COS that 2137 is now under SOL.
Thanks for your reply CR001.
1. You don't have a current or 'most recent' CoS or leave to remain that is a SOL job if you got your extension before 6th October. The rule changes for SOL jobs is not retrospective. It is only applicable to CoS and applications from 6th October 2019.(f) Sub-paragraph (d)(vi) above does not apply if the Certificate of Sponsorship which led to the applicant’s most recent grant of leave was for a job which:

I have clearly copied the text from the rules above and please do read them so you can advise people correctly.
There is no such thing as shortage or non-shortage occupation COS. You have confused me and other people.
The rules are simple and clear that if someone's Job is on shortage in the last 6 years when you were sponsored to do it, you are exempt from the minimum salary threshold.
So, anyone whos SOC has gone on shortage list as of 6th OCT is exempt from minimum salary threshold!
So did you get the ILR in the end @ifahds, @amal123.. ?ifahds wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 9:30 amCR001, your advice on this matter was WRONG!

There is much confusion and my tier 2 visa on 2137 Web expires next month. I am on 5th year and am eligible to apply for ILR as of today.
However, there are people who recommend me to apply for an extension on my Tier 2 visa on latest shortage list and generate new COS as of 6th OCT so I get exempted from the minimum salary threshold. And then apply for ILR.
On the other side, there are few who are also recommending that as the SOC 2137 is now on Shortage list, I can apply for ILR straight away and get all the documents ready.
I have just a few weeks to decide to which direction to take and wanted to ask if anyone here can guide me on what could be the best way moving forward.... what's right according to each one of your own experience?
Apply for extension for 6th year or apply for ILR?
@ifahds did you go forward with ILR?
@lokez21 am i exactly in your position? What are you guys doing?
