URGENT - visa rule changes affects RLMT ?

Post by adityansingh » Fri May 03, 2019 12:07 pm

Dear Experts please help --
I am looking to change my employer under tier 2. The new employer did the RLMT ( ending in 3rd Apr ) with 30,000 as the salary. Hoever on 6th April law changed and the minimum salary for my SOC went from 29K to 31K.
As i understand our RLMT was as per old rules ? am i correct ? or do they have to redo RLMT with the higher salary ?

The Appendix J salaries changed on 29th March.

You likely need a new RLMT to be done.

What is the SOC??

Hi CR001

Thanks for ur response. Even though it changed on 29th our RLMT ad was already put on 4th Marc to be ending on 3rd Apr. So the salary changed while the ad was already on. Do we still need to redo ?

SOC 2139

The key issue here is that the salary in the CoS must match the SOC experience rate of £31,100pa in Appendix J.

Hi CR

That what the doubt is, when the ad was posted it was 29,000 and the ad was done at 30,000.
20+ days after the ad posting the salary changed.

No re-doing the same means losing another month , arent we right if we did what the law was at that time ?
