Thank you. But I recently heard that all Tier 2 granted after April 2011 will lose the eligibility of ILR application. If this is true, does it mean if I switch to Tier 2, I will automatically lose the right to apply ILR?sushdmehta wrote:ILR: Assuming no change in policy in the iterim, if you are not being paid at the minimum rate specified for the SOC that (closely / exactly) matches your job responsibilities then your ILR application will be refused.
Changing sponsor: continue in this topic.

Hi Kumar, thank you for your reply, and hope all the best of your application.kumar17 wrote:one way of resolving this is identifying the SOC Code that closely matches your job and getting your employer to submit a Technical Change of employment notification with the correct job title matching the job code.I think the key thing is that the HO CW should be able to punch your code in the computer and see that it matches the minimum rate. The fact that contaminated land is a skills shortage job would not matter at that point.
I work in contaminated land as well, its taken my a while (but i'm almost there) to get my employer to write to the UKBA with an appropriate job title - geoenvironmental engineer (2129) which is in the same code as contaminated land specialist. If the company is helpful, you should expect to receive a UKBA letter saying something along the lines
Mr B. A. Baracus continues to be employed at TD Milk Ltd under the work permit arrangements as an Environmental Consultant.
The alternative would be to change employer but i dont know about the guidance that new Tier 2 applications do not qualify for ILR.
Thank you again Kumar.kumar17 wrote:jeffrey,
It is difficult to guess what they immigration rules will be by the time you apply as they always say "you have to meet the rules at the time of application".
I did not think that if you changed jobs now you will be subject to stricter requirements. I think some of the senior members in the forum may have a more informed view.
