new salary requirement for 3131 code???

[plpradeep]

hi,

Im asking this for my cousin.

She is currently a Tier 4 dependant and got a job paying her £21k per annum and the employer is ready to sponsor. The suitable RQL level 4 code is 3131 IT Technician. In Appendix J document for Tier 2 states £18.4k for new entrant and nothing for Experienced worker.

On what basis a person is considered a New Entrant?

Please can someone help us on this?

thanks in Advance.

How old is she??

My understanding is that she needs to be sponsored for an RQF Level 6 job to get a Tier 2 General visa with a minimum salary of £30,000 per or what the SOC states, whichever salary is HIGHER.

Applications for entry clearance or switching into Tier 2 (General)
69. If you are applying to work in the UK, the Certificate of Sponsorship must confirm that the
job is at RQF level 6 as stated in the codes of practice or, in a creative sector occupation,
skilled to RQF level 4 as listed in the Tier 2 Sponsoring Guidance, or the job is at RQF
level 4 and appears on the list of shortage occupations. This does not mean that you must
be educated to this level; it means that the job is at that level. The Certificate of
Sponsorship must also confirm that you will be paid at or above the appropriate rate for the
job. These requirements are set out in Appendix J and the Tier 2 Sponsoring Guidance on
gov.uk.

thanks for the reply.

She is 27 now.

She doesn't qualify as a 'new entrant' as she is over 26 years of age.

She will need £30k pa or whatever is the salary stated in the SOC at RQF Level 6. She cannot be sponsored for a tier 2 at RQF level 4.
