There is Notting in the extension application and in immigration rules about directors salaries. Your friend need to response ukvi about the rules of ukvi

Re my post, it seems that soc codes apply to determine the level of the business, not the salary levels for tier 1. Surely, that is primarily for tier 2? If you start a new business, surely you cannot start paying yourself a salary as per nqf levels this soon.
Even in the immigration rules, it seems the soc codes are ro determine nature of business?

Please stop the paranoia. Graduate level job requirement only applies to applicants who are trying to switch from PSW or Tier 1 General route. No such requirement exists for other candidates.

Thanks for yor reply. This is on behalf of my friend. He is very disturbed with the refusal and going to diffrent solicitors and Immigration advisors everyday. I am just helping him via Immigration board.

He is applies for T1 Entp. Extension aplication under £50 k route. He employed 2 full time employess and working as Career Advisor SOC code 3564. As he applies for extension application. UKVI called for interview in London and they ask lots of quetion about nature of business and funding. And they also ask about his personal income from business and how he survives without any income.

I will try to provide the exact wording on refusal.


Thanks for your valueable reply.
hello,
you said your friend did extension aplication and interviewed by homeoffice? when he apply? and when he did interview? and when he get results???

Thanks

This post is so confusing and I agree with Zimba88 in my opinion this post has no head no tail.

No, the extension should not require a salary as I quoted the relavant rule even if they switched from PSW. The rules apply to what you're last granted and during extension, that is Tier 1E visa

Hi Zimba

Yes. Even at initial stage, they were only using SOC codes to determine the level of business and whether it was graduate level or not. I have not known anyone who was asked about salary even at initial stages so this is first time I am hearing about this irrespective of whether the person switched or not. Even in soc documents, the use of soc codes is to determine the primary activity and nature of business, as salary guidelines are primarily for employees of tier 2.
