Hours reduced 30% > 1year and ILR 10 yrs

[Dino99]

Hi,

I have been working under T 2 General. My employer reduced my working hours by 30% effecting from 1 Feb 2011 and promised to review after a year.

However, I applied for ILR on the basis of 10 years on mid Feb 2012. My employer still did not increased my hour as its over 1 year of the allowed period of reduction of working hours.

Please note here my wife also stay here as Dependent of T 2 General. As my employer came to know that I applied for ILR they are not willing to increase the hour back to normal. And they are thinking to inform HO the hours reduction & possibly cancel my T 2 while I am in the process of ILR.

My questions are how it can effect me? What should I do from my part? How about my wife, I was thinking to apply FLR(M) for her in coming months?

Really worried to the bit. Your expert advice will be appreciated.

Thank you.
