    How much salary need to show in offer letter for extension of IANG visa

    I have got PhD in Electronic Engineering Dept from City University of Hong Kong. After my graduation, recently on January 2016 I have got IANG visa which will expire on January 2017. As I came to know that if at the end of this one year of IANG visa, if I can show a job offer letter to immigration then I can extend my visa. Anyone, could you please tell how much salary offer letter should I get to ensure the extension of IANG visa?
    Thank you so much.
    Regards.

    Well, your salary should reflect the salary of a professional in the prevailing market. The whole issue is about immigration risk, so you will not have a fixed amount. But, your monthly salary should be more than $20,000/month in order to live in HK, so that would be a rough idea.

    Thank you so much. Could you please tell, is it ok if I do job not exactly related to my study area. Suppose in a business organization as a Research Executive position but my study area is Electronic Engineering. I am trying to get job in my field and as I need to stay in HK, so for the time being I am doing this job but if at the end of my 1 year of IANG visa, if I cant manage my area related job then is it ok to show this current job to extend my visa?
    Thank you so much.
    Kind regards.

    I would think many people get a job not exactly related to their study so I would not worry about that.

    The whole idea is, how will u benefit Hong Kong?

    You have to frame your story so that you r not stealing jobs from local. Rather, your job nature should be nurturing local.

    Rather your industry and your education matches up or not is just a justification.
