Could you please clarify this a bit, went off my head sorry I have PEO appointment at croydon on 18th of this month.
Raj

I dont know what to do myself, rules are supposed to change on 6th April and I have appointment at croydon PEO on 18th and i have no idea what I have to take coz if they are seeing salaries as per COP then I am not eligible. Waiting for these new rules to be finalised and out.

Hi York

Are you sure you are under unspent conviction? FPN's are not under it.

Raj

Hi York, Just to make this clear unspent driving convictions are those that you receive from court fines and points etc. If you have a FPN they are not considered,, you need to declare it but they will not effect the decision and about salary as per COP we should wait and see what we get which ...

yeah its like being bonded with a job coz you cant change jobs get cheap labour somehow from somewhere and then kick them out, and then they talk about human rights, asylum seekers are so much better off than us get money from govt no rules apply to them nothing, better to be asylum seeker in this ...

Also how fair would this be that people on tier2 who were as per cop salary and now with the revised salaries coming out in a few days are not able to get the increase, this is like bullying you to get your salary raised and pay more taxes so it can go as benefits, also not a invalid point to sue ...

The problem is that they have given the indication of changes twice but have never been clear about the WP holders as the tier2 were always on the COP but dragging WP holders to follow COP when there original WP's were issued at half the salary of COP is not fair. As long as they are looking for an ...

Hi York, My Visa expires on 5th May and since i entered country on 15th may i can only apply on 17th april, i have 15 days after my fate is decided to pack and go or stay and really stressed about it. Feel like i was forced into bonded labour for 5 years and now after saying earlier that you can ...

Hi York,

I agree with you, earlier there was no extension criteria but we will have to wait for the final rules to be published and i am hoping they are soon. I think any day now.

Raj

Hi Tara, I think we should wait for the new rules to be published and see what we can do from there on. Twice they have indicated that the old WP holders will have to prove they are still working in a ighly skilled job as per there work permits so lets wait and hope that final rules favour us a bit ...

It looks like it I mean if they issued visas at 20k and now looking for 50 or 60 thats not reasonable but if they are looking at some hike since the original WP was issued then it sounds more fair. I dont know when are the new rules finally coming out, I was expecting on around 29th 30th but they ...

Hi Ali, Thanks for the info and it was just out yesterday only problem is i will not believe them till they come up with the final rules, they said this earlier and then backed off and now saying it again so no idea really but its good atleast will let us sleep for a few days till final rules are ...

Hi Bani, Thanks for your reply, I have already written to the MP once and will do that again but if I change my job title, do I need to inform home office. I have certainly got my salary appraised since my WP was issued and my lawyer said there is a transitional phase where old applicants are ...

Hi Bani,

It was my case as my WP states IT manager and in COP its 45k which will be updated again and dont know to what but the field is huge and I dont know how will they assess it. I just checked reed and IT manager's average salary is no more than 40k its less than that only.

Raj

Hi York I dont know if anything can be done legally or not but certainly its not fair as if we were issued work permits at lets say 20k and now cop says that the profession should have 50k then who would be able to get such an increase in 5 years, and because we are on wp and its employer specific ...

Hi all,

What worries me even further is that the COP is not on ukba website, we are only referring to the old cop and if they further increase the salary how would we cope up already they are looking for 100 to 200 percent salary raise.

people working on phones in ukba just say anything literally they just read out from the website and that is it so we have to hope wait and see that there is something to cheer about i think

Hi Ksenia, I have to apply in second week of april so i am before you and have no clue what to do at all. My salary should be 45k as per code of practice when my wp was issued at 20k, either i go and protest in front of ukba and parliament or i go back, dont know coz i am feeling so depressed now ...

Hi Tara, I am giving you my example, I am IT manager and got wp at 20k, now they ask for 45k, so do you think that from 2006 to 2011 a person should have made 120% increase in his salary, this is ridiculous and also these occupation sheets were never in front of us to see what was what. This will be ...

Earlier there was nothing of that sort, but now with these rule changes they could ask you for anything.

Hi All, This is really a big problem for people on wp as when we got it there was no minimum salary required as per the profession. My salary as per that should have 45k salary and i was given wp on 20k for the same post. How can these people expect a 120% rise in 5 years in such an environment when ...

I dont think any change of salary or role needs to be informed to HO please correct me if i am wrong.

if you get a letter from hmrc then that way it will show up everything including the payment made to hmrc for self employment so could be a better option for you as i have done that

Hi, I met my solicitor yesterday she said a letter confirming from your employer that you have been in employment should suffice but also you can call hmrc and ask them to give you statement of earnings for past 5 to 6 years and they will be able to send it to you. it takes 2 to 3 weeks so better to ...

if you dont have p60's like i also do not have all the 5 years of p60, I requested HMRC to send me statement of earnings which they did in like 2 to 3 weeks time so you could call them and ask them to send it over to you.
