In the tier 2 policy document
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf
what is the difference between clause 28 and 29. There is an AND clause that has been removed for 29 (applicants after Jun 2012), what are its implications?
I am quoting both for reference.
28.

You have not since been granted leave to remain, entry clearance or leave to enter in
any other route;
you can apply to extend your stay for the maximum amount of time allowed for your
specific sub-category. If you are applying for an extension in this way, the job does not
need to be at NQF level 6 (or the equivalent in Scotland). However
, the Certificate of Sponsorship must confirm that the job is at or above NQF level 4 (or the equivalent

also confirm that you will be paid at or above the appropriate rate for the job.
