Moreover, at least to me it is not clear WHEN one has to meet the minimum salary requirement. In the consultations they wanted to decide on "temporary" (that do not lead to settlement) or "permanent" (that can lead to settlement) nature of visas at the time of entrance to UK. So, what if someone ...

What about the "resident labour market test being eased for high earners". What are they on about there? Does that mean that all jobs over the salary of 31,000 are exempt from the resident labour market test or only certain jobs that will be making a contribution. Surely if it was all jobs over 31 ...

Wow!, very very interesting. We all can only speculate what the outcome of this review will be and which category of visas this will affect. I know from history that they make some sort of provision for those already in the UK or those already on old schemes and that the policy on Immigration ...

I have also asked my new employer to crosscheck with UKBA about possibility of chnging the start date on COS. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I hear from them.

Have you heard anything from your old employer about this?
Oops, will update later once 100% sure!

3) Without knowing whether your new tier 2 FLR application is successful or not, no one would have resigned from their current job. Meaning that even if you leave your old employer as soon as you are made aware of the decision (on 10-Jan-2012), you would still be working for your old employer ...

Re: 15 DAYS Gap in Employment - Does it affect ILR ELIGIBILI

Will I still be eligible for ILR by the time I reach 5 years in the UK? Yes. Hi Sushdmehta, that's very reassuring :-) But don't you think the 15 day gap between employment would cause some kind of problem? Will I be residing in the UK legally between 2 Jan 2012 and 16 Jan 2012? While this period ...

Re: In-country change of employment

Hi, This time of the year particularly for Tier-2 there is huge delay, particularly Biometric invitation letter. And this has caused problems for many Tier-2 applicant as you one. UKBA is unlikely to think in the way we think and the problems we face. But, by rules as soon as you get your new visa ...
