Skilled Worker visa enquiries are the highest-volume work route for UK immigration law firms in 2026 — and the most time-consuming to triage. Visitors arrive with questions about salary thresholds, sponsor licences, and English language requirements, but most leave without making contact because they are unsure whether they qualify.
Common Eligibility Confusion in 2026
The general salary threshold now stands at £38,700 for most applicants, with concessions for new entrants, shortage occupations, and PhD holders. From April 2026, applicants must demonstrate B2-level English rather than B1.
- No Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed employer
- Offered salary below the going rate for the SOC code
- English evidence still at B1 level, not the new B2 requirement
- Sponsor licence suspended or employer not yet registered
