From Tier 2 (General) to ILR

[srsw]

I did search about this

https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/extend-your-visa


I guess above one is the right one as far as I know... Just would like confirm

new company advertised the job for 28 days (which covers RLMT)

Can you please confirm me above points thank you very much

Extension eligibility:

You must have current permission to enter or stay on a Tier 2 (General) visa.

You must also meet the following conditions:

you have the same job as when you were issued your previous permission to enter or stay in the UK
you’re still working for the employer who assigned your certificate of sponsorship
you’re still earning an ‘appropriate salary’ - read the guidance if you’re not sure
You must be in the UK to extend your visa.


And in the same link it clearly states...

If you change your job
You may need to make a new Tier 2 (General) visa application if:

you want to change your job and your new job is with a different employer
your job changes to a different standard occupation classification (SOC) code, and you’re not in a graduate training programme
you leave a job that’s on the shortage occupation list for a job that isn’t on the list.

So, you need to make fresh application. Hope that helps.

Yes, that looks about right.

When migrants have a sudden sharp salary increase just before ILR, i.e. £23,000 to £35,000, it immediately raises red flags with HO.

On what date do you qualify for ILR?

What date was your initial visa granted and what date did you enter the UK?

If you are applying to switch in April, are you aware of the immigration skills surcharge your new sponsor will have to apply for applications from April onwards?

Hi CR001, what about an big increase 7/8 months ago? Sponsorship Management System says company needs to report salary change excluding annual increment and bonuses. If the big increase in just annual increment and not reported, is that fine?
