mmmmmmm but i think it does not apply on tier 2 holder who is continuing to work for same employer but if u change your employer then u are considered as new tier 2 applicant and subjected to new rules.anul wrote: As per my understanding the new rules are not applied to some one who successfully granted T2 in the past
sorry...so this means that out of every single type of job available in the UK only 121 (out of probably a thousand??) can be used to satisfy tier 2 requirements? that seems bizarre...anul wrote:Dear All, Please help me to understand in view of below statement from BIA,
"The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has today recommended a new shorter list of occupations eligible for migration under Tier 2 of the points-based system.
As part of its review of the immigration system, the government raised the threshold for Tier 2 visas to 'graduate level' and commissioned the MAC to examine which occupations should qualify.
The government asked that the MAC use the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 4 and above as the relevant benchmark. This will reduce the number of occupations qualifying for Tier 2 visas by 71, down from 192 to 121."
i guess this is what im still, after all this time, confused about. there are changes coming for tier 2 in april of this year. but if youre on psw, in the uk before april do they all affect you? only some? if so, which ones?arsenal49 wrote:not exactly true.. this requirement also applies to those on post-study visa or student visa as well!Also remember the new requirements for this NVQ4 level is for new applicants coming to the country.
I think you are right , if you are switching in to Tier 2 the new rules will apply, the only difference wiill be if you are applying in -country then your sponsorship certificate will not have to be allocated from the limited quota.jlewisunh wrote:i guess this is what im still, after all this time, confused about. there are changes coming for tier 2 in april of this year. but if youre on psw, in the uk before april do they all affect you? only some? if so, which ones?arsenal49 wrote:not exactly true.. this requirement also applies to those on post-study visa or student visa as well!Also remember the new requirements for this NVQ4 level is for new applicants coming to the country.
as far as i can tell aresnal is correct that anyone applying for tier 2 after april (whatever the day is) 2011 has to mee salary requirements and the graduate level job criteria. am i wrong?
it doesnt matter when psw was issued for tier-2 switching purposes. If YOU want to switch to Tier 2 from psw ( issued whenever!) , than you must satisfy tier 2 criteria!jlewisunh wrote:

Also, it will be a good idea to switch to tier2 ASAP before they stop people on tier2 to settle in this country as intended by this govt. (people on temporary visa must be here for temporary duration)jlewisunh wrote:
