UK job not highly skilled - Any problem?

[priya_bhosale]

Hello,

I am an extension applicant. I am reaching 75 points considering my earnings and everything else.

I am working in a call centre and part-time in a hotel and both these jobs have nothing to do with my previous education or experience. And in no way these jobs could be called highly skilled. Having said that, I am able to reach the earnings threshold considering my earnings from both the jobs.

Would this be a problem?

Thank you,
Priya

Hi Priya

Well if ur getting 75 points there is nothing to worry as long as u can prove it. HO does not define Highly Skilled jobs therefore they cannot reject any application on the basis of the work you do.

However since ur going for extension..I believe u got ur initial HSMP before Nov 6, 2006.....and in that caseyou do not need to claim any points....U can apply for your extension simply based on your economic activity for the last 1 year.


I hope you have info about HSMP JR!!!!
