If your suggestion is that the calculation is as simple as £50000 @ 40% = £20000 income tax liability ... well thankfully, no way! Have a look at this webpage on the HMRC website.

The HSMP website state that you have to be "economically active". So if, say, I don't have a job for which my profession is stated in the applicant but working as a clerk, does that qualify as economically active and can apply for PR after the 5 years period? I am just being critical and w...

Mansawat,

Please do not post multiple entries. You've posted 3 same entries at different times.

If someone knows the answer to your question, they'll reply in due process.

Thanks.

Wait, did you put 16+3 numbers in the same box, and THEN put the CVC number on the 2nd box? If yes, the you should have just put 16 numbers only in the first box.

Rocio,

Did you receive your approval?

Listen everybody!!! It's instruction for case worker "If BHC is unable to verify the documents, points awarded are always " ZERO " Sohail, I think many people are aware of the above. However, due to the uniqueness situation of each application, it is always difficult to know how the ...

Hey Rocio, Did you already apply or you already got it. My problem is that the company only has online pay slips and they say that whatever there is online is official and cannot certify anything further. Do you know how much time it takes if we apply from US from the day we send application Since ...

Also my company has gone through acquistions . So I have half pay stubs with old company name rest with the new name. This kind of makes my case even more complicated. Does anyone has suggestions how I can represent this? I think you can just include the pay stubs from BOTH company. If your salary ...

Hi abhi, I was reading another thread titled "Tips for application" and the thread starter was somebody from US. He submitted the W-2 form and Income tax return and he got approved. So I am kinda following him. I agree with you though: W2 only shows the last 6 months of 2005. That's why I ...

Hi all, Based on my research, I will be submitting the following instead: 1) Letter from the employer stating the annual salary 2) W-2 form 3) Bank statements showing all the deposit made by my company for the last 12 months. The reason I am not including the wage slips is because the HSMP Office ha...

I didn't see anything in the HSMP application where I can put my child information in the HSMP Application. Thus, how does HSMP Office know whether I have kids and will allow my child to come in to UK under HSMP? I am afraid this maybe an issue when I arrive in UK. Officer: your child can only stay ...
