ILR 35K query

[SetO guy]

Dear Senior members,

Please could you help me with a question. I got my ILR 4 months ago. I know I am thinking far too early, but wanted to get myself ready.

My case history,

Entered UK 2008- Student Visa.
PSW - March 2009

HSMP Tier 1: Emp+Self Employment

HSMP Extension: Emp + Self Employment.

ILR application: Full Paye (I got some contract work which helped in secure the ILR)

I have paid all taxes and no amendments.

Recently I have moved to permanent position, which pays me slightly less than 35K (my threshold)


My questions.

1. Do you think the HO would look again and query again why I was less than 35K

2. As part of my Income in 2015-2016, I contributed some pensions (approximately 1.5K). I stopped contributing pensions and requested money back which I received in Feb this year; But HMRC records does not show this 1.5 as earnings (still being shown as pension contributions).

Because, this amount is not being shown as pension, my earnings for 2015-2016 is primarily 33,500 and you can understand that this would eventually mean I am not meeting my threshold (but my payslips give a clear break down)

Do you think the second one would be problem.

There is no income or employment requirement for citizenship.

[SetO guy]

Thank you CR001.

Just to bother you with one more question, does HO check with HMRC again when we apply for citizenship.

[CR001]

Very likely yes. Checks are far more stringent for citizenship than for ILR.
