She said income criteria will affect only those who apply for extension on or after 6/04/11. I really hope she is right..Although granted
leave to enter or remain with the intention that they
should undertake skilled or highly skilled work, these
groups currently are not required to demonstrate
this at the settlement stage. An income requirement
will help ensure that these migrants have continued
to work in skilled or highly skilled occupations
by confirming their income is at least the level
stipulated when they were last granted leave.
It doesn't.littlerice wrote:Hi Ksenia,
I hope you still remember the exact time you called UKBA as you described, and the name of the lady you talked to, because when she talks to you, she represents the government, everything she said will count.
If this is so, I guess a salary increase of about 10-12% on an accumulated basis would not require reporting? My wages have increased slightly, about 10% in some years but remained constant in some other years. So at the end of 5 years the salary could be quite different from the original work permit. Is this going to be a problem? Also it seems the COP is going to be revised from 6 Apr. Does it mean our salary for 2010/11 and future year till we apply for ILR will need to meet the revised salary codes?littlerice wrote:not if it's a small change, but if you have a 50% pay rise, then questions will be asked. But as I read through other people's experience, when 5-year WP holders apply for ILR, P60 is not required (because your employer's letter would already certify that you have worked for them for continuously 5 year), so it can be seen as an accumulated annual increase.
Hi all,
What worries me even further is that the COP is not on ukba website, we are only referring to the old cop and if they further increase the salary how would we cope up already they are looking for 100 to 200 percent salary raise.

Thanks for your reply, I have already written to the MP once and will do that again but if I change my job title, do I need to inform home office. I have certainly got my salary appraised since my WP was issued and my lawyer said there is a transitional phase where old applicants are normally allowed under the old rules but still its a worry. Even if they look for an appraise in salary since the last WP was issued it is ok but following only COP will be a big issue.

This does sound good. At least it means the aim of this particular new rule is only to make sure people on WP or Tier2 stays in their job throughout the time they are here, rather than to purposefully kick people out after 5 years.ALI74 wrote:http://www.parliament.uk/briefingpapers ... -05922.pdf

New minimum income requirement: As already mentioned, from 6 April, Tier 1 and Tier 2 migrants (and those that entered under their predecessor categories) who apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain will be required to satisfy the same minimum income/appropriate rate criteria as applied when they last extended their leave to remain. This aims to ensure that persons granted entry to the UK in order to undertake skilled or highly skilled work continue to work in such occupations after entry.
