I was under the impression that tier 1 is for highly skilled immigrants, and they have to prove that they are employed/working in the same capacity they qualified to get the visa in the first instance.

Yes (the meaning of highly-skilled depends on perspective. UKBA has its own).

No. Was only applicable to the old HSMP scheme before 2007.


OP - read the policy guidance.

Ok, I understand "policy guidance" ...was modestly curious when I came to know there are newsagents on a tier1 general visa.
