i thought you do not need to spend 2yrs for dependent to apply

Hello gugu84, My situation is similar to yours. I am on WP since 2008 with the same employer and will be eligible to apply for ILR in 2013 sept. Your advise on these will be helpful. 1. My wife joined me in Jan 2012 as a WP dependent, will she be granted ILR or as my dependent? 2. Why Cohab documen...

i meant set (m) instead of set (o)

to get ILR your wife must live here for minimum 2 years. when you applied for ILR, your wife will need to apply for FLR(M), then when she gets to 2 years, she can apply for the set(O).
the cohab is to show that your wife is living with you. they will need this docs to extend her stay

congrats

which documents were they more fussy about?

cheers

have you been with the same employer for the past five years?

also for your tier 2. you do not need to report to ukba for a technical change if you change your weekly working hours by less that 10%. so you can say that your hours have been reduced by 1-2hrs which is less that 10%.
please get confirmation with other members
cheers

but you should have been getting this adjusted salary for at least 3 consecutive months.
also check if you can change for SOC for a similar one with lower salary
what is ur SOC code?

you can book through a sollicitor
i can give you details if you want

i dont think you need to show fund if you show that you are receiving a salary every month.

between your refusal and you appeal, how many months were there in between and were you in UK at that time?

that is right..

all perferct

the hourly rate is as per the SOC code, for the SOC job, not your actual salary.

your actual net salary is only needed in section 5.3

the rest of SOC, hourly and yearly is from the SOC list based on 37.5hrs.

nowhere on the form, do you have to put your actual hours

cheers

on the application form. it is the salary in the SOC code list which should be written.

your salary should only be on the part where it says, what is your income before tax. ( can't remember which page though)

the only way you can do that is to ask your HR to change the hours to 34.5hrs.

are the hours mentioned on your payslip?

yes. you still put 52 weeks. because you get paid for those holiday so it comes up to the total.

first you choose your soc code
then check in the soc list the hourly rate and do the calculation.
then you compare it with yours

which peo office are you going to apply to?

I asked my HR team for the SOC code attached to my current job title, which hasn't changed from my first application. However when i checked the SOC code given to me by my HR team against the minimum hourly wage in the code of practice, it is £15.88 and based on a 37.5 week (£30,966), it works out ...

you have to write down the annual salary as it appears for the SOC code in the UKBA list which is

hourly rate x 37.5hrs x 52 weeks

the number of hours salary based on is 52x37.5hrs ( 1950)

the cohab does not need to have both your name as long as it has the same address as on the application.

the SOC code can be amended

Read 134(iii) - 134(v) to understand what the "requirements" are and what the law states with regards to the issue at hand. Thanks so much everyone for your input. My question then is what constitutes a significant change in salary in terms of percenatge? 10,20 or 30%? Unfortunately as it came new ...

hi there

if you give the last three month payslip. will they not find out that you did not get the apprpriate amount before those 3 months?

any suggestions

thank you
