Payslips/P60 to submit for ILR application

Post by yamlan » Wed Jul 30, 2008 11:55 am

Hi

This is my first post. I am on a work permit and planning to apply for ILR in Jan 2009.

I am concerned about the following when applying:

When I got my work permit, it says on the letter that I would be working for £ XX a year.
When I started working, my payslips and P60 show something lower than £ XX by a few thousands, and now after more than 4 years, the wage showing on my P60 is more than £ XX a year.
Is all this going to affect my application for ILR?

Please advise.

there is a + / - 10% tolerance for your salary
anything more or less than 10%, you will have to notify Home Office

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Are you absolutely sure about this? Is it based upon your own experience?

From what I have gathered if the pay stated on the application form is higher than what you have been paid then this can be a problem (totally on the discretion of the case worker). They could say that this is deception. Your company needs to come up with a genuine reason for doing this.

But it is quite normal for the employee to obtain pay rise after some time, isn't it? Just like any other British citizen would get in a normal case.
I have just got a reply from another person from a different website and he said that from his personal experience, he had a difference of +45% on his salary and he got the ILR without any problems, but I suppose it's like you said: ''totally on the discretion of the case worker''. This is all like a lottery draw...

I wrote to the home office and they said this is in their own words...

"The amount of salary you receive does not affect your current work permit and we do not need to be informed of this as there has been no change to your job role or responsibilities."

So you needn't bother with informing them of any wage increases.. they are not bothered. However, if you are paid less than what salary was stated on the form... I do not know...

Hi thanks for that piece of info!
Actually have you got more details about this, like % of amount, pay rise etc? and also change of job title?
Did you actually contact the HO anonymously or wrote in your own name and provided details about your problem?

...so I wonder if they keep record of this and can use it against you / or search your documents more in-depth because of this. Anyway I hope not.
