£35,000 salary threshold

[Raju001]

Hello good people at immigration board,
I am due to apply for my ILR this January when I would have completed 5 years of my employment with a restaurant. My job type is public relations professionals and the salary is 24000 gross per year working 37 hrs per week. Do I have any hope or is it a lost battle? Please help with your valuable suggestions.

The min salary requirement for ILR under Tier 2 General is 35K, unless you are working in an occupation that is on the shortage occupation list or at Phd level.

The £35,000 salary, what if my boss is willing to pay me if I work for 48 hr/week? On the other hand, my CoS states 37 hr/week. Can this not be increased by using the SMS?

No. Please read the guide as salary calculations are clearly explained there

Zimba88, thank you very much for your time. Really appreciate it. Could you please suggest what could be the way forward. I am so worried.

You can stay up to 6 years on Tier 2. Then either you have to switch to another category or leave the UK.
