I initially thought that you had to score 75 points and that's it. But what she told me is that you salary has to be same or higher, so that even it doesn't matter if it is within same band. I am not sure, if they are strict with that or not.kunald wrote:Hi,
Congrats and thanks for posting your experience. Couple of questions:
1. Which PEO did you go to?
Croydon
2. What do you mean by employer letter from WP time? I guess you only need letter from current employer?
No, I had letter to confirm I was with that employer when I had WP. I had no letter from current employer, since I'm temping
3. Regarding salary my understanding is that you have to be in the same BAND of salary (which is 35,000 - 40,000?) rather than the EXACT salary you used when you qualified first for Tier-1? I think the idea is to show that you are still able to score SAME points? Isn't it? (Anyways this is an interesting aspect)
What letter is required from employer from WP time? Is it a letter saying that you worked with them from xx to yy date and your salary etc? That can be proved from P60 / Tax history too isn't it? I am clueless why a letter is required from previous employer and what the contents of that letter should be? I have read lots of thread here where the first employer (who sponsored the WP) is out of business. Wonder what will happen to those. Please can you let me know what letter you are talking about so that I can get one from my first employer. Thanks again.londongirl10 wrote: I initially thought that you had to score 75 points and that's it.

Thanks londongirl10. Will watch this forum for other success stories to see if the WP employer letter is requested elsewhere.londongirl10 wrote:I had a letter stating I have been working from xx to xx as a full time employee. No salary was stated. And you're right they could also see that from P60. If your former employer is out of business, you can apply and explain the situation.
I had separate sheet with date left the uk, date returned to the uk and reason for absence, just like in the form. I did not submit how many days that was all together. I did not make copies of passport pages with stamps, but she said she would do that. She found the stamp with entry date and then put a check next to it on the absence list.darksun wrote:Congrats, so good news !
I have 1 quick question; did you submit a detailed absence spreadsheet with all passport stamps and how many days of absence you had?
Thanks a lot!

So If a Consultant earned 100k last time and is now earning 90K, does that mean that his ILR will still be rejected?She also told me that the salary has to be higher or same to the one I had when I applied for Tier 1. So, if I had claimed salary of £35,200 and now I have £35,000 that this could be a problem

As per the Tier 1 Settlement guidance, a Tier 1 applicant(before 6th April) applying for ILR needs to prove 75 points from table 2, but the above statement is included in the Statement of changes in immigration rules which is causing me distress.Applicants for indefinite leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant will also be required to pass the same points test as they had to pass when they applied for further leave to remain. This effectively means that applicants will need to have achieved the same minimum level of earnings as they had to achieve in their previous application.
I might be wrong here but you are reading under the title "Amendment to Tier 1 of the Point Based System" which I think would mean that when you apply for Tier 1 Extension not ILR.deepu_0158 wrote:Thanks Sushdmehta & Londongirl10.
Congrax for your great work Sushdmehta, appreciate your great work.

Does the above statement in any way mean that the applicants have to earn same or more salary irrespective of scoring 75 points
Refer to EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN IMMIGRATION RULESLAID ON 16 MARCH 2011 (HC 863).

Please Sushdmehta shed some light on it.
Thankyou so much in advance sushdmehta
The above statement is stated in page 1, 8th para..... this is not under Tier 1 (general) I suppose.To apply to settlement applications made by skilled and highly skilled migrants the income criteria that applied when they last extended their permission to stay, and to require such applicants to pass the ‘Life in the UK’ test prior to gaining settlement, except those applying under transitional arrangements;
To me that is a bit incomplete statement. The reason is that it is stated in the beginning of the document-in general section. This means that it could be applicable to anything that comes in the document. In your previous post it clearly suggest .. that point is only applicable to the Tier 1.deepu_0158 wrote:Thanks psdesai for your quick response

I would be the most happy person, if they dont consider the income criteria to be same or more with that of Tier 1.
Hopefully you are trueI believe it was caseworkers 2nd case so Obviously she didn't know much (or more than us).
AFAIK we need to claim 75 points for all attributes. Doesn't matter what we earned last time, what matters is how many points can we claim everything put together.
If your minimum requirement last time was £20k and you earned £100k it doesn't mean you have to earn £100k or more for your ILR.
