Tier 2 Extension 30K Query

Post by saliame » Thu Jul 13, 2017 2:57 pm

Hi,

I understand that there is a requirement of 30K if you extend your visa, my question is if this 30K is for 40 hours or 39 hours?

My contract is for 37.5, will it be pro-rated as per the number of contracted hours?

Any suggestions would highly be appreciated.

Thanks is Advance.

No 30K is the absolute minimum you should be getting paid at the time of extension. No matter how many number of hours you do.

Extension Requirement is 30k or Minimum required for the respective SOC (whichever is higher).

Thanks,
Hassan

Thanks Hasan, no dis-agreement but

42. If you will be working part time, you will be awarded points for your actual earnings and not
for the equivalent full time earnings.

hence, my confusion.

Hi,

You are confusing things. If you are salary is lower than 30K then you will not be awarded points for Rate of Pay and hence will be a reason for refusal.

Check paragraph 26.8 on page 111 in Tier 2 Policy Guidance.
