P60 - Urgent please

[Keyrun]

Hello all,

I have for my appointment in a few days, hope someone can help me on the below query.

Visa details
Feb 2007 to May 2009 - Work Permit
June 2009 onwards - Tier 1.

The salary details on my last 5 years P60 has been going up and down. Example from 2008 to 09 it has gone up and then 2009-10, 2010-11 is has gone down as a result of company freezing the bonus. But from April 2011 until now it has gone up again as I changed company.

Though I qualify well enough on PBS calculator, it is the previous P60 that are worrying me.

Would the salary decline would cause an issue ? The basic salary has never gone down but its the bonus component that has made the difference.

Can you someone advise please.

Thanks in advance

Regards, Kiran

I think you will be alright.
The case worker will be more interested in your earnings for previous 12 months as you are applying for ILR based on current T1G and not WP.
For T1G, P60 is not compulsory, but most people would provide the same if asked by CW.
Yours in quite common situation, people's earnings do vary esp. variable component every year.
I wouldn't worry too much on this.
