I recently got my Tier 2 visa and now I am offered new job and the company is willing to sponsor me. Everyone is talking about new changes for Tier 2 are coming in April, but I couldn't find what exactly is going to change. Could you please tell me what should I be aware of If I will apply after April? How can it affect my application.
the changes are usually announced mid-March in the form of a Statement of Changes which is laid before Parliament and it comes into force on 6 April
Also as far as I know in order to be qualified for indefinite leave to remain my salary should be not less then £ 35.500 a year. Should I earn this amount for the whole period of my Tier 2 residence or I only need to have such income before applying for indefinite leave?
only at the time when you apply (if it is after 5 April 2016)
If I apply for new Tier 2 visa with new COS from new sponsor and it is refused for some reason, will be my old Tier 2 visa still valid and I can carry on working for the old employer?
yes
Many thanks for your help.

Thank you very much for your help.
As far as I see it is quite complicated process to change the employer. That is why I have plenty of questions. I would appreciate any advise.
The company advertised my position on reed.co.uk with the help of recruting agent in December. Will it work for Labour Market Test?
no, please see the rules, para 297 onwards

How many times I can theoretically change employer being on Tier 2? Is there any limit in terms of how many Tier 2 visas can be issued for one applicant?
no limit
I have been offered the position of Marketing Manager and Editor and I am very confused wich SOC code to use. What is best to do in such a situation?
the sponsor (not you) has to choose the SOC code that is the best fit to the job description
Many thanks!
