Dear All,
As all of you were so helpful another question. Will this be enough for employer letter for income threshold?


Date:
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to state that Mr. X is presently employed with Company B since 09/06/2008 and presently holds the designation of Network Support Engineer.
His current salary is GBP £££££ which is above the appropriate rate of GBP £££££ as per SOC 2010 code 3131 for IT operations technicians experience workers as stated in the codes of practice for Tier 2 sponsors. The above mentioned SOC code and Job title have been chosen to reflect the closest match to Mr. X’s current designation and associated job responsibilities.
Mr. X’s services as an employee are still required and he will continue to remain employed with Company B in the foreseeable future.
Should you have a need for any additional information or further clarifications in the matter, please feel free to get in touch with the undersigned.
Your Faithfully.

It has all that required for employer reference letter . However, appendixj still reflects the old code. In your case whether SOC2000 and SOC2010 are same ? IF not , suggest you wait for updation of immigration rule/appendixj which is due soon.

Even I have this SOC code 3131 and received letter from employer for application mid April. Can some one please help and confirm that this is still applicable after 6 April.

Are you in T2 or WP?
Does your job title match exactly 3131 new related job titles or you choose one like mine.

3131 did not changed in new SOC 2010. Please see page 26 and 93

My job title is Web Administrator. It used to match exactly same in previous Section J of SOC Code list. When I see new list there is no exact match but description looks similar. So I am guessing that SOC code has not changed for me.

I agree as they reduce Possible job title(s)/Related job titles in new SOC 2010. So it is not the exact match for Job titles.

Any seniors comment on this pls.

There is SOC conversion table also which map old SOC code to new SOC code.
You can check yourself.
