Hope you all are doing good. My question is How much salary increment is ok and is it normal to increase salary once or small increment twice in a year is fine.

In details..Is it ok to increase salary £8000 annually once or it is ok to increase £4000 now and £4000 after 6 month.
if salary increase £8000 annually than it is 27% increment. Off course will let know HO through SMS about the increment.

But My Q is 27% increament annually is alright? or need to do it twice. Will apply for ILR next year btw. Please kindly let me know.

Thanks

In my case my company agreed for pay rise, so i will be having a pay rise from 26k to 35k nearly 35% increase just before 3 months of my ilr eligibility. will that be a problem?
if yes what should i do?
my role duties are same and no change in soc. As we got a new project i am assigned to it and so the pay rise. some one please give us your valuable thoughts.

Unfortunately 35% increment just before the ILR has high chance of holding your application (better not to use premium service as 99% they will hold the application for further checks) and a unannounced HO visit to your company.

my visa expires on feb 2019 but i am eligible from jan 2018 and pay rise agreed from november this year.Also it is a genuine increase like my company will update sms..they provide me letter and reason for increase. still is it risky to apply premium?

If this is ok then I can ask my company to pay rise now and then another rise in 6 months time..

Also I have contact with one of the solicitor I will ask him and update here by tomorrow

I heard that small pay rise wont have that issue like the bigger ones do ! That is why i am asking..... Please ask the solicitor and let us now.

I spoke to solicitor and he said "As long as your soc is same and duties are same and employer updates in SMS you will be fine"and he said said every case is different. he seems positive but again i cant completely blindfold and stay relaxed.

Need more expertise suggestions.

HO is very aware of this high increase ruse/trick with no other responsibility or job changes shortly before ILR and they are investigating this fully. A 35% increase is not normal when everything else stays the same. If that is your jobs worth just before ILR, why has it not been for the whole time you have been with your sponsor?. 35% increase instantly raises the red flag with HO, so best prepare yourself and your sponsor for a visit and investigation.
