Applying for ILTR from tier 2 visa
Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2019 1:44 pm
Hello everyone.
I am trying to help my wife apply for indefinite leave to remain in this country. I have done lots of research but am unsure on a particular sticking point whether she is entitled to.
So basically my wife has been in this country for 2 years previously on a youth mobility visa, where she got a full time job while here. They were willing to sponsor her so she has since been on a 5 year tier 2 visa which expires on Oct 9.
She is a teacher and currently on M6 payscale. Which is ~£34,000. Which I know does not meat the threshold. However she is currently applying and entitled to upper payscale which pays ~£37,000 so will meet the threshold.
The thing I am unsure of tho is the timings... As we will have to apply for the visa before the current one expires, presumably Oct 8th latest. She is currently applying for upper pay school, this then gets put to the chair of goveneers by her head teacher and they decide if she is entitled to it. My wife's boss is confident she will get it though. She should receive confirmation that she has got upper payscale by the end of sept. The only issue is she won't receive the increased wage untill the November pay check. This will be back dated to the beginning of term though (beginning of September).
So I guess my question is, is it sufficient to apply and get ILR when you have been told you are getting a payrise, can even have it in writing from the employer, but we won't have an actual payslip with the amount on until November?
