Dear Senior members,

I am about to complete 5 years based on WP and Tier2(ICT) combination. My SOC Code is 2131 and my job title is project manager. My salary is well above defined salary in code of practice. My working hours are 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week.

I urgently need clarification on section 5:-

1. SOC code (or nearest applicable which best describes your employment) – Should I mention 2131 or should I mention 2131-Project Manager
2. Current rate of Pay (as stated in the Codes of Practice– hourly rate or annual salary) – Leave blank
3. Current rate of Pay (as stated in the Codes of Practice Per annum – hourly rate or annual salary) – Should I mention my salary or salary defined in code of practice
4. Number of hours this salary is based on – 40 Hours
5. Number of weekly hours – 40 hours


Can senior member review answer of all 5 questions above.
Many Thanks in advance

I am not very intelligent to extract answer for question 4. Dear esteemed members kindly review my answers. Please suggest answer for question 4 and confirm other answers are correct.[/b]

SOC hourly rate of pay is based on 37 1/2 hours per week.

You have done a good job. Don't doubt your intelligence. As long as you write the true facts you are o.k.

Thanks Kevin24 for your response.

SOC salary is based on 37.5 hours per week. Going by this analysis, I should mention 1950 ( 37.5 x 52) hours for question 4.

kindly confirm.[/b]

Hi! Gagan1986, Please confirm whether this information is correct on Section 5.

1 - Your SOC Code -2131 Project Manager
2 - blank as the corresponding salary for your SOC code was given 'annual'
3 - corresponding salary for your SOC code, not your actual salary.
4 - 1950(37.5*52)
5 - 37.5

Thanks a Ton Gagan1986.

God Bless You.

Dear gagan1986 and Kevin1924,

Section5 will be changed for me due to new COP (COP 2010) introduced. The working hours has been changed to 39 per week.
Section 5 will look like this

1 - SOC Code -(i do not know) Project Manager
2 - blank as the corresponding salary for your SOC code was given 'annual'
3 - corresponding salary for your SOC code, not your actual salary.
4 - 2028(39x52)
5 - 39

Please comment.

Re #5, is 39 hours your work hours, or salary on soc code base on? the form asks for the latter.

5. I have mentioned the new requirement of SOC which is 39 hours per week.

When are you going to apply for your ILR? If before end of April,then you have to give March salary details and with an Employer's letter regarding the New salary and new code,if relevant from April onwards.

I am thinking to wait for 6th April. There are too many changes happening on 6th April. I want to carefully analyse the impact on my case then I want to apply. My visa is valid for next 1 year.
