Just checked my new soc code and at the bottom it says experienced worker rate does not apply if I had leave before 6 April 2011! Does it mean old salary rates apply which was 15 k acc to old soc code this is a phd level soc?

Thanks manci, read it so many times still not sure ,What this implies?

[manci]

it means that, for example, somebody who is still under 26, and therefore a new entrant, AND entered Tier 2 under the rules in place before 6 April 2011, only needs to get a minimum salary of £20,000 rather than £20,300.

Thanks a lot manci.
Much appreciated.

Manci, Would you please help me to understand the following 59, 60, 61 pages regarding new entrant and experienced worker salary

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... actise.pdf
According to this one anyone can be classified as new entrant if is a recent graduate and left his uni within three years and age is not a matter in this case. Correct me if i am wrong.

Manci, Would you please help me to understand ....

you have been looking at a superseded document. The current code of practice (from 6 April 2013) is:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... orkers.pdf

As far as new entrants are concerned who were previously students there is a little mismatch in the wording in the code of practice and Appendix J of the Immigration Rules (which is the law):

The Code of Practice wording:
The new entrant thresholds apply to:
• Graduates switching from Tier 4 into Tier 2 under the post-study provisions;
...............
• Any workers making an initial application who are aged 25 or under on the date they apply.

The wording in Appendix J of the Immigration Rules
the “new entrant” rate will only apply if the applicant:
(i) is applying as a Tier 2 (General) Migrant and scores points from the
Post-Study Work provisions of Appendix A,
............................................
(iv) was under the age of 26 on the date the application was made

I think the code of practice wording is somewhat misleading because it suggests that only migrants switching from T4 to T2 can be consdered new entrants but those who switch from T1 PSW to T2 cannot. The Immigration Rules (Appednix J) are clear that T1 PSW migrants switching into T2 are automatically considered new entrants but raises the question whether those switching from T4 to T2, and happen to be over 26, can be considered new entrants, too?.

Manci
I will be applying for ILR in 2015 based on the soc code description , I ve applied for extension now before 5 April under soc code 2329 in 2015 I ll be using the above soc code 2119
Does the experienced worker rate apply ? I don't think so in my case. I understand wat u said and agree that for applications from April 2011 ll be classed as new entrant or experienced workers rates but I don't think I ll be subject to that rates As I was granted leave in July 2010.
Correct me if I am wrong .
It is slightly misleading I know my salary ll need to be above 20k to be eligible
But experienced worker rate will not apply in my case..

[manci]

If you will still be doing the same job in 2015 when you apply for ILR
AND
if you will be under 26 at the time
AND
if the current code of practice is still in force

then you will need a min. salary of £20k for a 39 hour week, otherwise the experienced worker rate will apply..
