Band 3 upward depending on trust, most health board sponsor band 3 in Scotland.

If you don’t get an answer here would advice you hook up with someone in band 3 or get in touch with people within your team or colleague or line manager, there should be a pathway

thanks so much.

Sorry for the digression. Please what happens to someone on a 5yr visa on shortage Code is 2114 (Hydrogeologist), when the spouse applies for a dependant visa? Is there a salary threshold to meet? Thanks


As long as the individual is on a valid skilled worker visa, the spouse can apply. There is no separate salary threshold

Care worker can now bring in dependants

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-skilled-worker

Do you think major immigration policies are implemented and reversed just like that?

The ban is still in force. Scroll down to the eligibility requirements section:

SW 29.1A. In SW 29.1(a) and (b), P must not have (or be applying for) entry clearance or permission as a Skilled Worker sponsored for a job in:
(a) the SOC 2020 occupation code “6135 Care workers and home carers” or “6136 Senior care workers”, or
(b) the SOC 2010 occupation code “6145 Care workers and home carers” or “6146 Senior care workers”,

Hi Zahra,

Thank you for this. Honestly, I’m surprised the new salary threshold is not being discussed here as I for one have been worrisome since the hike in salary thresholds for Tier 2 visa.

Please I want to get advice on if one already on Tier 2 visa (for 3 years) intends to change role with the same employer but the new job salary does not meet the new lower going rate. The person salary is £34k, current occupation code is 3131 and new job occupation code (junior data engineer) is 2133 (according to the CASCOT). The person is now 27 years and completed MSc in 2021 and spent less than 4 years in the UK including graduate visa (not sure if person meets entrant requirement). What should one do before accepting the offer:

- inform HR that the new job salary does not meet the threshold for the occupation code in order to update visa.
- Not mention it and accept offer as the need to update visa has not been mentioned (whose responsibility is it and is there any implication if one does not update or how will they know)
- Reject offer as current salary is well enough for current occupation code and wait to renew visa even though salary thresholds were mentioned to be liable to change regularly.
- Request salary increase to meet new occupation code before accepting offer.

Please I would appreciate any advice that you have. Thank you.

I don't think the individual meets the new entrant requirements due to his current permission being a Tier 2 visa.

I would advise the options in bold as HR should really be looking to increase his salary in line with the going rate for the new occupation. Speak to them and see what they say.

I wouldn't advise accepting the offer and not updating the visa. If Home Office does an audit, both the individual and the company would be in trouble as he would in effect be doing a different job to what has been declared to the Home Office.

Ok thanks. There was also the option on accepting the offer on a secondment or permanent basis. Is it necessary to update such if on a secondment which is liable to be temporary?

Lol I think HR/the employer is trying to pull a fast one here? (There's actually a Secondment Worker Visa but it doesn't apply in this case).

Even if the move was temporary, how would they explain/prove that to the Home Office if they paid them a visit? Unless they plan to conceal the facts?

Note the following:

If you are an employer of a sponsored migrant whose employment details have changed, or if you are working in the UK on a skilled worker visa and there have been changes to your personal details or circumstances, these changes will need to be reported within a specific timeframe. Failure to comply will mean the sponsor and/or the visa holder will be in breach and could face Home Office penalties.

Reporting a skilled worker change of circumstances
When sponsored under the skilled worker route, an individual is permitted only to be employed in the specific capacity stated on the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) with the company who has sponsored their employment in the UK.

The Certificate of Sponsorship outlines the following information:

Personal details of the migrant
Place of work
Role to be undertaken
Salary, hours of work
Duties and responsibilities

If any of the above details change, this must be reported to the Home Office within 10 working days. Here, the reporting duties lie with the sponsor and with the migrant worker


So even if it was a temporary move, it would still need to be reported within the stipulated time period. The exception here is if the other job was supplementary, I.e. 20 hrs max a week - but his main role would still be his current one.

Thanks. I believe they should be aware that I will need to update my visa as they asked during the hiring process the type of visa that I am currently on. I will check with them as you have advised if they can increase the salary which I doubt (they can be stingy is my fear and not agree to increase) and understand what their initial plan is.

Paying of Skilled Workers Visa and IHS fees from Nigeria

Hi guys, I currently need to pay for my skilled workers visa and IHS fees. I plan loading usd on a prepaid dollar card . I'm worried the cards may not work.

Question: Has anyone paid their visa fees recently from Nigeria? How did you go about it. What banks card did you use or what prepaid wallet etc.
