Where the migrant will need to apply for leave to remain in the UK:
T2 (Gen) where previous leave was granted under the rules in place on 6 April 2011
either £20,000 per annum, or the minimum appropriate rate for the job as set out in the relevant code of practice or the shortage occupation list, whichever is higher.
T2 (Gen) where previous leave was granted under the Tier 2 rules in place before 6 April 2011 or under the Work Permit arrangements (or other transitional categories)
Minimum appropriate rate for the job as set out in the relevant code of practice
T2 (Gen) switching from another immigration category.
either £20,000 per annum, or the minimum appropriate rate for the job as set out in the relevant code of practice or the shortage occupation list, whichever is higher.
which rule should my friend follow to apply for ILR after 5 years WP? Is it the second one? Is it definite that he doesn't need to meet £20K requirement?
need your professional advices please
Thanks
