Yup but thats just not going to happen if he has just a college diploma with no Prince or PMP qualifications under his belt either, Immigration would say absolutely no chance of them even entertaining the idea of sponsorship.

20k hk a month minimum is the unofficial rule for sponsorship and that aint happening with next to no relevant qualifications and or experience, When theres local fresh uni grads who would be willing to earn half that just to get the experience etc.

Actually, you should probably go for one of the other jobs you mentioned, because it seems that you are not happy with the present situation. The salary you are presently getting is based on the need of your employer and his assessment of your worth to him. Comparing your self to someone (maid in HK) is unfair to you, your employer (because he is seeking a way to reduce his costs) and to the maid (because she has had to relocate (leaving friends and family) to do the job.
