As far as i know, Any salary reductions 30% below and change of hours as from work permit should be informed to UKBA througha a technical change form. Your employer should have been informed to UKBA. I am not sure then UKBA would be issuing a letter to approve this or a new work permit is issued.stephno wrote:I have been on WP for 5 years, working for NHS. I went on maternity leave, and then returned part time, initially for 13 hours a week, then 17 hours a week. Throughout I have informed work permits that I was going on ML, and then returning part time and they said that as long as the employer agreed to part time, then it was fine. I had assumed that HR were notifying them of the change.
I was on Band 6 salary, and still am, in fact I'm paid over the required rate - just part time.

We have been calling lawyers but the responses are all different which is not helpful. One lawyer (recommended by friend) said they could research and write submissions and send them in now, before it is actually refused.
A second one said that would be pointless, and we should wait and try to go through the appeal system to either (a) buy some time to pack up and go or (b) fight the appeal through every avenue (mainly something about article/section 8 - links to the uk???).
A third company said that both of those are pointless, and we should pay them to retract our current application, and they would do a new application complete with submissions of caselaw relating to previous cases of this happening.
My HR department are saying I should simply apply for a Tier 2 work permit (and 2 of above suggested that also, but warn the '5 year clock' will probably start again because I have been in breeech of conditions).
We are so confused. It is so tempting to pack up and go home, but we love this country, we feel our future and the future of our son is here, so part of us wants to fight it.
Have you discussed this with the Lawyers?littlerice wrote: 1, switch back to full time and then appeal.
