Lower rates - Tier 2 (Skilled Visa)

[wintersoldierussr]

Hi. Good evening.

I received my COS on 10th February 2024 and my skilled worker (Care worker) visa on 10th March 2024. At the moment I am working in a private care company. I want to know, When I change my job;

1. If I receive a care worker job offer from NHS can NHS provide me a COS if I receive £23,200 or more annually?

2. If I receive a job offer from any other “Skilled Worker for eligible occupations” list can they provide me a COS if I receive the “Lower going rate”? (for example Occupation code – 5214, Job type – Pipe fitters, Lower going rate – £25,800)

3. In the above 2 occasions will I retain the right to bring dependents to the UK?

Thank you.

Hi, Good evening all. Need advice on the lower salary threshold;

I received my COS and Tier 2 (Skilled Visa) before 4th April 2024. My question is Am I eligible for lower rates ? for example,

• Occupation code – 5214

• Job type – Pipe fitters

• Standard going rate = £31,200

• Lower going rate = £25,800

(Source - Skilled Worker visa: immigration salary list)

If I apply for "Pipe fitters" occupation I need to have £25,800 salary per annum to get the sponsorship right ?

Thank you so much.
