EMPLOYER'S LETTER AND SOC CODE MATCHING

Post by Kevin24 » Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:24 pm

I am a WP holder,hoping apply for My ILR soon.In the process of trying to organise the Employer's letter. My Employer has chosen a SOC code which matches of part of the Jobs I do. The salary for that SOC Code is is lower than My My W.P. salary.

SOC Code to match majority of My of List of Duties has a higher salary,than the W.P salary..

How do I get over this problem? Please advise.

Caseworkers normally try and match the SOC code or the nearest one as per job description. In my case he printed the page where my job title was there. Mine was exactly the same title. You need to either ask your employer to state few responsibilities which will help. What industry you work in?

Sounds good. Try and get the SOC letter matching the job title in which the salary is less than the one stated on your WP. Mould your letter that way, make you are satisfied with it to explain the CW if he ends up asking you. Obviously I don't know your job title and and JD so cannot make a decision

Thank You Ggan 1986.

I am going ahead with Sticky's letter format,it looks very good.. Problem is MY job title is not on Soc Code.Will follow your advise.

Is it worthwhile calling for MY SAR file and Employment History.???

Why would you want to order a SAR file? If there are no gaps in the employment and your work permit has been ok throughout the 5 year period, what are you worries about?

By employment history you mean 5 yrs P60s from HMRC?

Kevin, you need to go back to the basics. Start with the form itself. See what is and is not asked for.
Please do not send me PM if I haven't sent you one yet.
My ILR, MN1 and kids PP stories.

I don't think there is any need for a SAR file unless you have a doubt in mind.

If you don't have any last 5 years P60's then order it from HmRC and keep the one in safe place which you will get after 31st March.

Rest is all standard for WP holders which is stated in my original success post
