Tier 2 £35,000 threshold clarification

[sunshine22]

Hello,

I was granted a Tier 2 work visa for 3 years a few months ago. I make the required amount for my job as per SOC code but it is not £35,000. I know my visa is not enough time to qualify for ILR so I presumed the new £35,000 does impact me. However, I read some information that says all Tier 2 visa holders who do not earn £35,000 must leave after April 2016. Is this correct? Or is the £35,000 threshold for ILR applicants only?

Thank you for your help and clarification.

you read wrong.
as long as you are getting paid correct amount, you can continue living on tier 2
