Dear Gurus,
I need your help and clarification on the salary requirement for extension of Tier 2 (SW) visa. On the government website, there are conditions or scenarios that relates to the dates of issuance of first CoS, the time for application for the extension, and the date for the fist Tier 2 (SW) visa application. It read as follows:
1. If you got your certificate of sponsorship before 24 November 2016:
If you apply to extend before 24 May 2023, the minimum salary you’ll need to be paid is fixed at a lower rate. You’ll need to be paid at least £20,800 per year unless the ‘going rate’ for your job is higher than this.
2. If you got your certificate of sponsorship on or after 24 November 2016:
If you apply to extend before 1 December 2026, you will still need to meet the new salary requirements, but your salary may also include allowances, such as London weighting. Any allowances must be guaranteed for the length of your stay.
3. If you applied for your first Tier 2 (General) or Skilled Worker visa before 6 April 2021:
The minimum salary requirement of £10.10 per hour or the going rate for the type of work you’ll be doing does not apply.
(https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/extend-your-visa)
These are confusing to me. Yes, I applied for my first Tier 2 visa before 6 April, 2021, and I can take it as No.3 applies to me and the 'going rate' salary requirement does not apply to me. However, this may appear to have clashed with No. 1, for the reason that I got my first CoS before 24 November, 2016.
I need some clarification. I am most grateful for your help.
