Tier 2 prospective earning question

[PBS123]

Hi everyone

Due to recent changes to Tier 1 (General) rules I am unable to apply under this category so my only option is to apply under Tier 2 (General) for work permit. I have been working for my employer for more than 6 months and I have IGS visa therefore there is no need for resident labour market test and I score 30 points for switching from IGS and I also score 10 points for my Bachelor degree and I need to score 10 points for prospective earning in order to achieve 50 points required for attributes. My initial contract is for 18,000 PA however I am due for a new contract in 2 weeks time my question is if for my new contract I get 20,000 PA salary will HO give me 10 points for prospective earning or will they give me only 5 points based on my initial contract and my past 6 months wage slips.

Thanks in advance

you will get 10 points if your employer shows that u will get £20,000 with your existing/future contract.
hope this helps

Hi, the points for earnings refer to your prospective earnings. Think of the start date of your new Tier 2 visa as the start date of the "new" job. If you can prove that by the time you switch to Tier 2 you will be earning £20,000, you should get the 10 points you need. A letter from your employer and/or a new employment contract should be enough.

Hi all,

I'm in a similar situation and my current sal is £17 k but will not be £20,000 when the application is made.....is there still any chance for me getting Tier2

All the other requirements are satisfied for my applicaiton as I have a Masters degree and been working under the same employer since 1 yr.

Please advise.
