PSW to Tier 2 salary and SOC code issue

[surajchain]

Hi,

Current visa - PSW valid till mid November 2013

I am Working with an IT company since Jan 2012 (11 months now) and planning to switch to Tier 2 General as my company is ready to sponsor me, but my issue is as below -

My current position is Project Manager and salary that I earn is £37,000 per annum gross.

I went thru all the SOC codes and the one that matches my job profile has a minumum salary requirement of £39,000.

My question is -

Let us suppose that in March or April 2013 my company increases my salary to £39,000, then can I immediately apply for Tier 2 General or do I need to wait and show 6 months payslips with the new salary that I am getting? How does it work. Do they just see the revised salary letter or I have to show that I am receiving this revised salary for a certain time via payslips or bank statement?

Your advice is highly appreciated

Many thanks
Suraj

In the CoS the sponsor will state your salary as a T2G migrant and you will confirm the same salary in your application. Your salary while on the PSW visa is not relevant.

Remember, however, that the min. annual salaries stated for a SOC code are for a 37½ week and for other work patterns they need to be pro-rated. The sponsor must state the weekly hours of work in the CoS.
