If the difference is not very huge, it should be ok.vish86 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:52 amHi,
My salary is going to be increased to £35500 from May'18. I am hoping to apply for my ILR by mid-June. I understand I need to submit 3 payslips with my application. Is it ok to show my latest payslip with £35500 gross salary and the previous 2 payslips with my old salary which is lower than the required salary for ILR?
Thanks
Vish
It would help if you could post what leave to remain. You are and your full immigration history in general.vish86 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:52 amHi,

OP is on Tier 2 General visa, so the minimum threshold applies.CMOSUK wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:16 amIt would help if you could post what leave to remain. You are and your full immigration history in general.vish86 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:52 amHi,

Depending on which route you are on this may or may not be an issue.
Because it will be an instant red flag to HO as a sudden large increase only to meet the ILR requirement. The application for ILR will likely be held and the sponsor can expect an HO visit.
It is has nothing to do with submitting a payslips and bank statement and everything to do with people getting increases in excess of £10,000 a month or two before applying for ILR, only to meet the requirement (some even had salary dropped back down after ILR), so HO is very aware of the abuse in this regards and it raises the 'genuine vacancy/job' question too. If you are worth £35k for ILR, why were you not worth that prior to ILR.bcilr18 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:43 amBut the HO is asking for only the most recent payslip which is a month old payslip and a month old bank statement showing the same amount as on the payslip. (As in the guidance it says, you do not require any more evidence to prove that minimum earnings threshold) So how else can this cause a problem if the requirements are met accordingly?
For example: Let's say a Tier 2 General candidate has started his employment with a salary of £20000 for 3 yrs and never had an annual increase and then on his extension for further 2 yrs had a salary of £24000 with no annual increase. And now the candidate's experience and skill sets have improved making the employer to give him a good pay of £35500 or more irrespective of meeting ILR's requirements. How is this going to be flagged up? and what will the HO check on the visit? Has there been any such case till date? I am just curious to know so the outcome will help the rest in such cases.
Recently a member was refused for not meeting the requirement by £60.bcilr18 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 4:24 pmHi crazy_p,
Thanks for showing interest in this topic. I would still like to debate on this as I have brushed through the forum who are facing the similar issue. And none of the them threads have confirmed that their applications have been held for the said so. Also neither of them have confirmed that their applications have been successful.
However there was one particular case which had an issue of not meeting the threshold - and that candidate has actually mentioned the conversation he had with the caseworker - and was told that if he could get the appropriate pay in the following month and show the payslip and bank stmt reflecting the new pay - he would be granted the ILR based on that.
Also would like to know the situation of the person @vish86 who raised this topic.
Thanks
100% due to the sudden hike. Better prepare yourself and ask your sponsor to get ready with genuine, logical reasons for the hike. Better if you can prepare paper work for these too. (Agreements, contracts, etc)
