Can experienced take up Junior Level Job on Tier 2 Gen

[Shah1698]

Hi

Could you please let me know if experienced can take up a Junior Level Job (Particularly job title says - Junior programmer) and the salary level is an Entry level as per Tier 2 code of practice? This junior role is completely different than my experience so will I be considered as New Entrant (As my experience can't be taken into account and I finished degree just 2 years ago)?

This is my first Tier 2 general out of country application (restricted COS)

Degree completed in 2013
Age: 30 years

Please advice

shouldn't be a problem if the job is NQF level 6 and you are paid the "experienced" rate - new entrant rate wouldn't be acceptable.

see the list of NQF level 6 jobs and appropriate salaries here:

Thank you very much

But the company is applied restricted COS with new entrant rate for 3 year. This is going to be my first work visa to the UK so I think I am new entrant to the UK. Do you think my visa may get rejected if I apply with entrant rate?

Yes, it will be refused. You may be a new entrant to the UK but for immigration purposes the definition of this term is quite specific. See p3:

Thanks Manci. It's much appreciated.

Would it be ok if the employer had conducted milkround for this role? If milkround was conducted, will I be considered as New entrant for this role despite I am older than 26? (I do not have UK degree and I am applying from overseas for the first time - 3 year Tier 2 general visa)

Please advise.

Please advise.

The RLMT has to be conducted for new entrants and experienced entrant applications made outside the UK.... So no, you will not be considered as a new entrant.
