Table 2: Eligible SOC 2020 occupation codes and related going rates based on 25th percentile Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) data

Going rates in Table 2 are per year and based on a 37.5-hour working week. They must be pro-rated for other working patterns, based on the weekly working hours stated by the applicant’s sponsor. Options F to J refer to the points options set out in Appendix Skilled Worker.

The going rates and associated reductions which apply are whichever is the higher of:

• the rate shown by the 25th percentile ASHE data for that occupation; or

• £11.90 per hour

For the avoidance of doubt, where £11.90 per hour calculates as more than 70%, 80% or 90% of the stated going rate, £11.90 will nevertheless be taken to be 70%, 80% or 90% of the going rate, as applicable.

Only the going rate column applies to Skilled Worker settlement applications; the columns setting out 70%, 80% and 90% of the going rate do not apply.

Equivalent SOC 2010 occupation codes are included where they were previously eligible for the Skilled Worker route, for ease of matching to the relevant SOC 2020 occupation codes for applicants being sponsored to continue working in the same occupation.

“Appendix Adoption

The adoption routes are for a child under the age of 18 to apply to come to the UK either to be adopted or having been adopted overseas.

If a child is granted temporary permission under Appendix Adoption, they would need to apply for settlement under paragraph 298 in Part 8; or for settlement on the route their adoptive parent is on.

Where an adoption has taken place in a country where the adoption is recognised under UK law and the adoptive parent(s) were resident in that country at the time of the adoption, the adopted child may make an application as a dependent child on the same route as their parent(s).

There are four adoption routes:

Hague Convention: this route applies where the adoption is via an adoption agency under the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. Most Hague Convention adoptions will be completed overseas, however for some countries the adoption is completed in the UK and the child must apply for entry clearance to come to the UK for the adoption to be completed.

Recognised Overseas Adoptions: this route allows a child to apply for entry clearance to come to the UK where they have been adopted overseas in a country where the adoption is recognised under UK law, or where the adoption has been recognised by order of the High Court in the UK.

De facto Adoption: this route is for a child to apply for entry clearance where the child has been living with their adoptive parent(s) overseas for at least 12 months and there has been a genuine transfer of parental responsibility.

Coming to the UK for adoption: this route is for a child to apply for entry clearance where they are in a country whose adoptions are not recognised in the UK and the child is coming to the UK to be adopted under UK law. Where applicable the relevant UK authority must have issued the adopters with a certificate of eligibility to adopt.
