It means anyone aged more than 26 years old will be considered as new entrant. Am I correct ?

Because I am 29 years old. I am on PSW visa and moving to Tier 2

Hi,

can you please point me to which line of statement mentioned like that ?

I don't thinks so because people who has 5 years exp in overseas may came here to do high level Degree, after study they are in PSW, so how come they will come under new entrant !!!

immigration law

Appendix J: Codes of Practice for Tier 2 Sponsors, Tier 5 Sponsors and employers of Work Permit Holders

Appropriate salary rates
14. Where these Rules state that an applicant must be paid the appropriate rate for a job as set out in this Appendix, the rate will be determined as follows:

(a) Where the most appropriate match for the job in question appears in Tables 1 to 5 or Table 9, the appropriate rate is as stated in the relevant Table.

(b) Where the most appropriate match for the job in question appears in one of Tables 1 to 5 and also appears in Table 9, the appropriate rate is as stated in Table 9, and the rates stated in Tables 1 to 5 do not apply.

(c) Table 8 is to be used for identifying the equivalent SOC 2010 code only. The appropriate rate must then be identified for that SOC 2010 code using the other tables, where relevant.

(d) Where both "new entrant" and "experienced worker" rates are stated in Tables 1 to 5, 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,

(ii) is applying as a Tier 2 (General) Migrant and scores points from the Resident Labour Market Test provisions of Appendix A, on the basis that his Sponsor has carried out a university milkround,

(iii) is applying as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant in the Graduate Trainee sub-category, or

(iv) was under the age of 26 on the date the application was made,

and is not applying for a grant of leave that would extend his total stay in Tier 2 and/or as a Work Permit Holder beyond 3 years and 1 month.

The "experienced worker" rate will apply in all other cases.


There is no age limit for study.

?Who pays for my application fees

Post by varun711 » Tue May 07, 2013 3:50 pm

I am applying for a Tier 2 General visa (shifting category from Tier 1 PSW)

Initially one of the directors (Operations director - my boss) in our contract discussions told me that the company would pay for my visa application (though this was not put down in writing in my contract). Now the Managing Director who is now the director that I report to has refused to pay for the application fees.

I assumed it is the companies responsibility to pay for your visa isn't it? Literally - 'Sponsored visa'??

Could anyone please advice me as the application fees is over £500 which is no small amount.
