Hi All

i am planning to apply ILR in dec 2018.
Currently my salary is 30k .
my company agreed for overtime and i am doing some extra hours to get 3k per month.
can i get ILR or not.

I believe the threshold for ILR under Tier 2 scheme is £35,500 pa if you apply before April 5, 2019.

By overtime i can get 3k per month .

I might be wrong but the threshold is based on guaranteed pay, so excluding overtime.

i have seen some where on immigration board that they can consider upto 48 hrs per week

Only guaranteed payments, per RLMT and CoS are accepted and only limited allowances. Overtime is NOT accepted, even if guaranteed.

See page 27 below.

Your core salary must meet the ILR threshold requirement.

Yes, but not including overtime. It will be based on core salary and calculated to the standard 39 hours per week.

thanks CR001,

my company pays in hourly rate.
any problem?

No, but you cannot include overtime to bump up your pay to meet the ILR requirement.

can we increase salary on last month before applying to 36k
so that i can get ILR

It will be suspicious. HO is VERY aware of sudden salary increases immediately prior to ILR or only so that a migrant qualifies for ILR. Sudden large increases will be red flagged and investigated, likely prompting your application being put on hold pending further queries, visiting your sponsor etc.

Also, any salary increase that is not across the board (annual increment) and intent is to circumvent a Home Office policy is likely to raise red flags.

Secondly, a raise that huge may in itself require a new RLMT.

if the hourly payment is 14.65
and we are doing 205 hours in month
in month we get 3k.

can we apply ILR or not?

How much annual salary does it state on your CoS?

Annual salary specified in the COS is 30,000
but i want to work more hours
