It's already mentioned in the statement of Immigration changes issued by HO on March 2010.Without Highly skilled Employment No one will get his/her extension on Tier1 General after April 2010.bango wrote:Sorry but what is the answer to the question.
Are current Tier1 holders able to extend without having a skilled job.
Hi If you have Tier1 General before April 2010, you don not need to show a highly skilled job.All you need to show that you are in any employment plus you have to show certain salary criteria.bango wrote:Thanks for the reply moderator. But instead of flagging us for double postings, it would have been nice if you could have just pasted a link to the current immigration rules. This would have not only cleared the confusion but also helped other forum members in a similar situation.
Also if you could please clarify that if a new immigration rule is published , does it override the previous versions. Thanks.
1. I am sure we all know the difference between a Highly skilled job and a Highly paid job and hope others get your point too.....sushdmehta wrote:khan2015, I think you need to understand the difference between a "highly skilled job" and a "highly paid job". While skills required in a job play no part in the extension criteria, previous earnings do.
Highly skilled jobs may not necessarily be highly paid. Likewise, one doesn't necessarily require to be in "highly skilled job" to have "high previous earnings".
To score same points for previous earnings, applicants who applied for Tier 1 (General) on/after 06-Apr-10 need to show considerably higher earnings as compared to those Tier 1 (General) migrants before 06-Apr-10.
I hesitate to say but I have to say that Mr. Khan2015 must consider taking FREE ESOL classes, as he has already taken the "OATH".sushdmehta wrote:khan2015, I think you need to understand the difference between a "highly skilled job" and a "highly paid job".

Thanks for your advice.I mentioned that term which was used in ''Statement of changes of immigration Rules March 2010''.According to that one must be in highly Skilled Employment .They might changed their statement from Highly Skilled Employment to Highly Paid Jobs.Aryan2013 wrote:I hesitate to say but I have to say that Mr. Khan2015 must consider taking FREE ESOL classes, as he has already taken the "OATH".sushdmehta wrote:khan2015, I think you need to understand the difference between a "highly skilled job" and a "highly paid job".

I guess it can only benefit him and his "country".
Ok, point taken but you have not told us about the FREE ESOL classes??khan2015 wrote:Thanks for your advice.I mentioned that term which was used in ''Statement of changes of immigration Rules March 2010''.According to that one must be in highly Skilled Employment .They might changed their statement from Highly Skilled Employment to Highly Paid Jobs.Aryan2013 wrote:I hesitate to say but I have to say that Mr. Khan2015 must consider taking FREE ESOL classes, as he has already taken the "OATH".sushdmehta wrote:khan2015, I think you need to understand the difference between a "highly skilled job" and a "highly paid job".

If a security guard is working on £8/hour and other is on £15/hour with same job description what would happen If they apply for Extension in June 2012(Applied Tier 1 General after April 2010).As all we know that security Guard Job is very highly skilled job
??????
Thanks for your reply mate.But why they mentioned the condition for Highly Skilled Employment for those apply for extension after April2012.sushdmehta wrote:khan2015, without realizing it you have just proved my point!
Assuming you consider a security guard to be a "highly skilled worker" and the job to be a "highly skilled" one then, other attributes being comparable (age, qualifications etc.), the person with a higher salary (in context, "highly paid job") will score more points for income as compared to the other and will probably qualify (GBP 15/ph * 40 hours/week * 52 weeks = approx. 31K pa = 15 points; GBP 8/ph * 40hours/week * 52 weeks = approx. 16.5K pa = 0 points).
Imagine two individuals (PhD, <30 years) working as "genetic engineering research scientists" - a job, IMHO, worthy of being called "highly skilled job" according to your definition. One individual earns 47K but the other earns 69K. Both being in highly skilled workers in highly skilled jobs but with different earnings, you can do the calculations on your own to understand who will score more points.
Likewise, imagine one scientist (PhD, >30 years, the same job as in example above) earning 47K and one Tier 1 (General) migrant (Bachelors, >30 years) earning 69K through self-employment or a combination of employment and self-employment. Nothing stops this (second) migrant from qualifying for extension even if his employment is in a "unskilled job" and his self-employment involves "providing security guards" or "running at taxi fleet" or "running a chain of laundrettes" - things that, as per your definition, do not fit the "highly skilled job" measuring scale.
I am sure all the PBS migrants for whom your responses are intended will understand the difference between your opinions / assumptions and the actual facts and rules (that matter), and can stop worrying.
When it comes to scoring points for "previous earnings", it is not a "highly skilled job" or "skills" that matter but the "actual income / earnings". Period!
