Why can't you figure out the minimum salary when the hourly rate (11.00 per hour) is clearly mentioned?

Assuming 40 hour work per week, the annual salary must be at least:
11 per hour * 40 hours * 52 weeks = 22880

Assuming 37.5 hour work per week, the annual salary must be at least:
11 per hour * 37.5 hours * 52 weeks = 21450

but i have work permit of 14500 from last 5 years and i m always been paid that money
how can i meet that requirement??????????
please help

[geriatrix]

If you wish to apply for settlement, your employer must pay you the appropriate rate, and also certify in a letter that he is doing so. You'll also need at least one payslip to prove that you are being paid the appropriate rate. Else, your settlement application will be refused.

Pardon me everyone, but I think riojamel can still claim points for the 'Appropriate Salary' Tier 2 attribute if he/she is a Qualified Work Permit Holder.

Please correct me, but it is my understanding of the rules that a Qualified Work Permit Holder can automatically claim 20 points for the 'Appropriate Salary' attribute, even if the salary is below £20,000.

See 79A. of Appendix A - Attributes under the immigration rules. Even the table under paragraph 75 of the Tier 2 policy guidance shows that a 'Work Permit Holder' can claim 20 points even if the salary is below £20,000.

The OP's queries are with regards to settlement as WP migrant, not about switching to Tier 2.

Apologies Sushdmeta . I'd jumped to the conclusion that the OP would want to go on/was probably thinking to switch to Tier 2 for further leave to remain before later applying for an ILR when he/she had got their affairs (regarding 'Appropriate Salary' issues) sorted.

hi sushdmeta
i understand ur point
if i ask for pay rise according to ukba 11 per hour
ask to employer for a letter regarding my pay has been increased and i m getting paid that much money.

Sushdmehta already answered this for you in the affirmative. According to the immigration rules;


Indefinite leave to remain for a work permit holder
134. Indefinite leave to remain may be granted on application to a person provided:
(i) he has spent a continuous period of 5 years lawfully in the UK, of which the most recent period must have been spent with leave as a work permit holder (under paragraphs 128 to 133 of these rules), and the remainder must be any combination of leave as a work permit holder or leave as a highly skilled migrant (under paragraphs 135A to 135F of these rules) or leave as a self-employed lawyer (under the concession that appeared in Chapter 6, Section 1 Annex D of the Immigration Directorate Instructions), or leave as a writer, composer or artist (under paragraphs 232 to 237 of these rules);
(ii) he has met the requirements of paragraph 128(i) to (v) throughout his leave as a work permit holder, and has met the requirements of paragraph 135G(ii) throughout any leave as a highly skilled migrant;
(iii) he is still required for the employment in question, as certified by his employer; and
(iv) his employer certifies that he is paid at or above the appropriate rate for the job as stated in the codes of practice for Tier 2 Sponsors published by the UK Border Agency, and
(v) he has sufficient knowledge of the English language and sufficient knowledge about life in the United Kingdom, in accordance with paragraph 33BA of these Rules, unless he is under the age of 18 or aged 65 or over at the date of his application;
(vi) he does not have one or more unspent convictions within the meaning of the Rehabilitation of Offenders act 1974

You don't need to as long as it's still the same job for which you got your work permit in the first place. As stated in the Technical Changes of Employment guidance,

'Any
significant changes to location, salary, level of job or working hours are not
considered as technical changes and will be regarded as a change of
employment.'

Isn't a 34% / 43% increase in salary (from 16000 to either 21450 or 22880) a significant change - warranting a "change of employment" application?

Hmm . I'm not familiar with what range of percentage-increase in salary constitutes as significant. Having said that, if that percentage is considered to be significant, i suppose that's where 'Change of Employment' comes in;bringing me back to my first presumption ;

Apologies Sushdmeta . I'd jumped to the conclusion that the OP would want to go on/was probably thinking to switch to Tier 2 for further leave to remain before later applying for an ILR when he/she had got their affairs (regarding 'Appropriate Salary' issues) sorted.

Guess applying for an ILR would have to be put in the corner for now and the Tier 2 route brought forward for consideration. Just saying.

Dear riojamel,
Did you get ILR apporved without any problems with this pay rise?
Please share it with us.

Thanks
