I need to make an ILR application this month. My Sponsor was on 30k salary until January 2025. Sponsor’s new salary is 35k since February 2025 less than 6 months on same salary but is with the same employer since 5 years. So I am confused on two different things.

1. Does the sponsor need to include 12 months of payslips and bank statements since the new salary is less than 6 months? But it is with the same employer for over 5 years so can I include 6 months payslips and bank statements?

2. Does the employer letter need to include previous and new salary duration or just need to mention new salary being current and do not need to include any salary dates but only mentioned how long the employment is? I.e. can the employer write - the sponsor has been employed with the ABC since dd/mm/yy and currently working as a XYZ and the sponsors current salary is 123?

Please help thank you

1. This has no relevance to the salary changes. You can use the last 6 payslips as long as you have been employed with the same employer for 6 months or more. As the salary was always above the threshold, there is nothing to worry

2. The official guide tells you what the letter should say:

A letter from the employer or employers who issued the payslips at paragraph 2(a) confirming:

• the person's employment and gross annual salary
• the length of their employment
• the period over which they have been or were paid the level of salary relied upon in the application
• the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency)
• personal bank statements corresponding to the same period or periods as the
payslips at paragraph 2(a), showing that the salary has been paid into an
account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly
• where the person is either a director or employee (or both) of a limited company
based in the UK, evidence that the company is not a type specified in
paragraph 9(a) - this can include the latest Annual Return filed at Companies House
