ILR Application- Issue over Earnings

Hi,

I am about to apply for ILR in July this year and have an issue for which I believe would need help for information from the board members

I am on WP from 2006. Worked for a company till Jan 2008 from 2006 and shifted to another company who sponsored my WP. I was offered 36k as the pay. In the first year, got the correct pay and some additional bonus. During the second year i.e 2009-2010, due to the recession, my company asked me to take a pay cut for atleast one year or face redundancy. My pay was reduced to 18k. a 50% drop.

In March 2010, i applied for Tier 2 and my pay was brought up as per the Tier 2 requirements. Further on there was no reduction.

My question is:
1. Would the pay cut for one year make me ineligible for ILR?
2. Would I have to submit any documents to Home office for explaining the scenario?

Thank you all for your assistance. Really appreciate it.

Kind Regards

1. Would the pay cut for one year make me ineligible for ILR?

Your employer should have done a Notification of Technical Change of employment form to UKBA.

Read Technical changes of employment any reduction in salary of more than 30% needs reporting under this guidance.

Thank you so much for the reply. I have to check with my employer.

However would this change effect my eligibility for the ILR in anyways?
I am kind off concerned that this paycut by my employer might result in Home office rejecting my application.

It does violate your WP terms and conditions, hence as I wrote earlier, you need to sort it out before applying for ILR
