Hello
I am a doctor on Tier 2 visa and will be eligible for ILR next month,
However my employer decided to reduce number of my working hours from 37.5 to 33 hours/week but keeping the same salary which way higher than threshold anyway , would this affect my ILR ? Do I need to notify the home office ?
Many Thanks

As per guidance it states below:-
"88. Your contracted working hours must be at least 30 hours a week"
So i think you are OK.

Your sponsor will notify the UKVI via SMS. You do not need to do anything and this should not affect you

UKVI does not care about hours on the payslip. They calculate the
min pay requirement based on your pay and hours per week under specified SOC code. If you pass the min pay, then you are fine

Hello
I am on Tier 2 and planning to apply for IlR (5yrs route)
My wife (on PBS dependant ) has IELTS SELT (UKVI) which she used to get her first visa in 2015 and still on list of recognised tests so I believe She can use this to apply for ILR,
She changed the spelling of her first name with deed poll in 2018 so she is applying for ILR using her new name which is different from the one on her IELTS certificate but will attach a copy of deed poll, should this cause a problem ? Does she need to sit a new English test ?
Many Thanks

She did NOT require IELTS for a PBS dependent visa, it would be been disregarded completely if submitted. You can only use an expired test if it was used as the mandatory requirement for a previous application. This does not apply to your dependent. She needs a new test.
Hopefully her passport and BRP card was updated to reflect the name change.

Hello
I am on Tier 2 and applying for ILR,
Does the sponsor letter have to be addressed to “UKVI” ? My sponsor provided me with a letter as “To whom it may concern “ would it be accepted ?
Many Thank

Except where you know the exact address of the department to deal with your application To whom it may concern is acceptable and safe bet to go with.

I submitted and paid for my ILR Set O on 14/11/20 but my UKVCAS appointment is on 10/12/20, as far as I am aware some of the documents need to be issued no earlier that 28 days before date of
application eg sponsor letter, bank statement, payslip..
My question which one would count as date of application 14/11 or 10/12 ?
Do I need to provide October or November bank statements and payslips (my bank statements are usually on last day of the month) or both to be on the safe side ?
Many Thanks

14/11 is your date of application.
Provide one with the latest on issued not older than 28days from date of application I.e. the last relevant one shall be the one you got Sept. 30 2020. If you provide what you said may be for the sake of good order but not for consideration with respect to your application.

Hello
I applied for ILR Set O application with my wife, our utility bills are in joints accounts, as far I understand I (the main applicant) need to sign part 1 and other joint owner to sign part 2.
Can I check whether my wife needs to sign Part 1 as well giving that she is applying for ILR as well?

Sorry, thought this is the way to do it
Please could you advise regarding my question about consent form, Does every applicant in Set O Application has to sign part 1 or the main applicant only ?
Kind Regards

You have comprehended it correctly as part 1 is signed by the applicant whereas part 2 by the partner & part 3 is marked as "n/a" because no third party support is ordinarily allowed.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.
