That's fine. Best take your Marriage Certificate with you when you attend the PSC to prove you're the person named on your degree. If you haven't already done so, please visit the following link to make sure your degree satisfies the requirements. https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english

You can apply from 23 August onwards. I would make it 24 just to be on the safe side.

Your application date depends whether you're going to apply in person or through postal route. You should not submit your application yet if you're going to use the postal route.

There is no need to report annual increments. Also, since you were already being paid above the threshold, there would be no basis to suspect malpractice to meet the immigration rules. Therefore, I believe you're going to be alright.

Your monthly income is calculated based on your annual salary, not the other way around. You need to take the annual figure from the HMRC app and find out how much is going to be paid into your pensions for the whole year. Add them together and you should get your annual pay package. This should mat...

I was being paid £32K and got it raised to £38K. The increment was reported via SMS because it was a performance based raise, not an annual increment.

I don't think it's going to be a problem. I received a £6K raise and wasn't asked any questions. Although, mine wasn't an annual increment and was reported via the SMS.

That explains it. Pension savings are generally tax free. I don’t see a problem here.

Your appointment date is the actual application date. No need to write a letter about this.

1. I think it depends how your company deals with HMRC. My salary is updated with HMRC a week before I'm actually paid. Keep an eye on your online tax account everyday to see if it is updated before your pay day. 2. If you are making 35500 then yes, you do satisfy the requirement. The only concern i...

You need to have a word with your employer and ask for an explanation. Looks like you’re not paying tax on roughly £1000 of your income per year. You should have a 100% clear understanding of your pay, not only for your ILR application but from an employment perspective as well. If you are legally r...

Why do you have different figures for gross and taxable gross income?

If you cancel your appointment, you’ll lose your slot and you’ll have to pay the fee again. Fees paid for your current appointment will be refunded but that may take some time. I believe the document you’re talking about is incorrectly labelled as SET (O) form on appointment booking website. You nee...

1. Correct. 2. Not a problem. 3. Not a problem. 4. The letters from your current employer should be dated within 30 days of the application. Any letters from previous employers can be dated within the period you worked for them. 5. You can use the online form as long as you haven’t already booked a ...

Your annual pay is £34,616. Which means you do not meet the salary requirement and your ILR application will most likely be refused. Unless you’ve recently received an increment that HMRC is unaware of. If you haven’t any bonuses or deductions, that is your actual pay. If you’re still unsure, ask yo...

You already meet the salary requirement. I do not believe that an annual raise will make any difference.

Why are you reverse calculating your annual pay? Your actual annual salary should be on your payslip and your P60. You can also download the HMRC app to view your tax record as well as your gross salary.

How much was the increment? Did everyone else in the company got a comparable increment at the same time?

What’s even more confusing is the fact that the online form does not ask for any cohabitation documents at all. I sent some for my family anyway as it’s better to err on the side of caution.

My understanding is, they want to see documents evenly spread over last two years.

Spread betting is classed as gambling, not working and it is tax free so you don't have to declare your earnings. The catch, however is that you must have subsistence income from another source, otherwise your SB earnings will be considered your primary source of income and hence taxable and classed...

It clears immediately.
