Some Hopful Transitional arraingmets clues.
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.
And that is exactly where the problem is. People want to hear the answer they wish to hear ... rather than what the rules state.Gopaalan wrote:I was happy when I got the answer I wanted to hear.
U r right.. I think there r no transitional arrangements for Work Permit holders after spending 5 yrs on it.sushdmehta wrote:Unfortunately, the statement has been misinterpreted and posted on the forum as "transitional arrangement clues".
Any thought?littlerice wrote:Just got a question myself, say my job title is not on COP, and there are two job titles on COP that are close to mine, A and B. However my current salary is only higher than A not B, so obviously I would use A in my application. Will UKBA then try to say actually B fits better, and because it's higher than my salary, they would reject the application. Assuming my current salary is higher than the original WP document.
I don't think UKBA caseworker should / would challenge what "your job is" as certified by the employer and that you are being paid appropriately in line with the COP.littlerice wrote:Any thought?littlerice wrote:Just got a question myself, say my job title is not on COP, and there are two job titles on COP that are close to mine, A and B.

But, if there is a obvious discrepancy job description in the documentary evidence(s) you submit (e.g. - old WP authorisation and current employer letter) and the caseworker catches it, then expect deeper digging into the issue.
Good luck to you Pierrot!Pierrot95 wrote:I can't see any circumstance where an application will be refused based on this new salary rule. I suspect that the rule was added just because they wanted to say that things are changing, but it was initially targeted at tier 1 and they added WP holders just for consistency.
There is no code written on the work permit document so the only one the case worker will see is the one suggested by your employer. Even in the worst case scenario where your job title is different from the one in the code, I can't see how they will decide in a few minutes whether this is wrong or right. To do this, they need to read your job specifications and try to understand if it is the same job described in the code the employer is suggesting. They can't do this as they are not asking for your contract.
As already said, please share your personal experiences for those applying with the new rules. I will do the same as I am applying in a few weeks.
My job title is not in the COP and I don't expect it to be there. Why? Because I work as a research scientist (which appears in the COP) but this is just a generic title. My job title, as written on my WP (and this goes the same for the many hundreds colleagues I work with) is very specific to what I do, and it would be difficult to find the same job title even in another research organisation.
This whole issue is a total mess. The application form itself has been updated twice in a week. The interactive form is gone. They are asking all applicants to provide 2 years of cohabitation documents for the spouse, while there is no such requirement for spouses of WP holders.

if you have gradual increments i.e annually it should be fine that's what the document says and that is not considered as a techinal change ..
You do not need to tell us about
•Changes to the employee’s home address
•Gender changes which are not recorded on the employee’s passport
•Salary increases as a result of annual increments or other annual pay awards paid to most staff.
