Can anybody please explain this?273. You will be exempt from the minimum earnings threshold if any of the following apply to
you:
• Your most recent grant of leave was as a Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) Migrant;
• Your continuous 5 year period includes all or part of a grant of leave as a work permit
holder, or as a Tier 2 migrant where your Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned before
6 April 2011;
Tier 2 Policy Guidance (Version 10/2019) Page 65
• You have been employed in a job:
• that appears on the Shortage Occupation List in Appendix K, or has appeared on that
list during any time you were being sponsored to do that job during the last 6 years; or
• that appears on the occupations skilled to PhD-level as stated in the Codes of Practice
in Appendix J.
For example:
If you are applying for settlement and you were granted leave for a Certificate of
Sponsorship as a ‘secondary education teacher in the subject of chemistry’ at any point
between 6 April 2011 and 6 April 2017 (when the job ceased to be in recognised
shortage), and this period forms part of your continuous period for settlement, you would
not be required to meet the minimum earnings threshold. You would instead be required
to demonstrate that you are earning the appropriate rate for your position.
274. Appendix K provides a list of all posts that have been listed as in shortage since 6 April
2015. You can confirm whether any of your previous Certificates of Sponsorship were
issued for a shortage occupation by checking your previous applications or by speaking to
your current and/or previous employer.
That is correct as per immigration rules. If you were assigned an SOC and anytime during the continuous 6-year period (ending on the date of application for indefinite leave to remain) your SOC ever appeared on the shortage list, then you are exempt from the min salary threshold requirement
I have answered No for that because I am on SoC code 2136 which is on the SOL. I believe the answer to this question should be no in my case.Have you previously been granted leave to remain under Tier 2 (General) as a doctor, dentist, nurse or midwife, and passed an English Language assessment accepted by the relevant regulated professional body as a requirement for registration?
Letter format -- I hope this should be fine.My second question is about the employer letter, should I get this letter from my manager or it has to be from the HR?
