Thank you for your reply. Appreciated.
There was a case where UKBA refused visa for SOC 2119:

I am bit worried if they will apply same rule. IT appears that UKBA has their own interpretation of the rules.

Hi vaibhavg18mau,

Did you got your ILR throught.

I hope you got it done.
I am still talking to barristers and lawyers and made a formal complain to UK BA.

please can you let me know if UK border agency accepted your application and exempted you from 35 k salary.

Thanks,
Sushant13.
