Haziness around the UK skilled worker visa salary threshold is leading to concern from both students and lawyers, The PIE understands.
There was concern when the UK Home Secretary announced that the skilled worker visa’s minimum salary threshold would be upped from £26,200 per year to £38,700 per year for those not on the Immigration Salary List – a salary many have described as difficult to obtain.
“What we’re seeing is people asking a lot more questions,” Maryem Ahmed, an immigration solicitor at OTS Solicitors in London, told The PIE News.
“We’re seeing this from all different angles, because [students] will be asking if they’re affected by this not knowing because they’ve read something or heard something in the news and don’t understand it.”
