Question about age and salary expectations

[trt987]

Hi All.

I am thinking of applying for Tier 1 general visa. I am able to qualify based on the points required currently but I am thinking about the renewal required after 2 years. I have 2 questions regarding this -

1) I will be 39 years + few months when I apply for the renewal after 2 years, will I get 5 points based on the age?

2) Is it reasonable to expect a job paying 55000 pounds in UK in the current economy? I searched some jobs but most of them are for salaries < 50000. With about 13 years of experience in IT field, is it possible to get at least 55000 in order to meet the required points for salary?

Thanks,
Rachit

Rules keep changing, but to simulate your case in present situation, you can use points based calculator to evaluate your particulars.

Depends on your skills sets. If you can get a job now and may be a lucrative contracting offer after one year which will take you above 55K per annum, you can try.
Also deoends on what is ur long term plans are? permanent settlement or earn some money and go back?
